Hail Mary. Touchdown. Pass. Punt. First down. Yep, the regular season starts September 5 in Chicago. Perhaps it's a good thing the Americans (EA) give one more down than the Canadians, after all. I'll be watching the CFL Labor Day Classics, September 2. Edmonton at Calgary, and Toronto at Hamilton.

I've watched a few games from the CFL on ESPN.
I wonder if I were to mention the name Warren Moon to the Bioware employees if any would know he use to be QB for the Eskimos. He did well then finished his career in the NFL. Hmmm. I wonder if any of them know about Wayne Gretzky? Maybe not.

He did well then finished his career in the NFL. Hmmm. I wonder if any of them know about Wayne Gretzky? Maybe not. I would expect a number of them to be familiar with both of them. I'm familiar with them and I don't even live in Edmonton. Edmontonians think pretty highly of their football and hockey players. The Labor Day Classic is a long-standing rivalry between Edmonton and Calgary. Moon was a real thorn in the side of the Stamps for a lot of seasons. A couple of Calgary's QBs over the years left the CFL for the NFL for a bit, but the two I'm thinking of Peter Liske and Henry Burris didn't meet with a great deal of success there and eventually came back to the CFL. Bo Levi Mitchell, Calgary's current QB, is from the States, I think.
ETA: (embarrassed) ... and how could I have forgotten about Doug Flutie and Jeff Garcia.

Mostly agreed, although I'm not sure how much positive buzz a trilogy rerelease would produce. Much of ME1's gameplay has aged badly, and the cover shooter genre itself seems to be declining in relevance. OTOH, it's close to free. Yeah tbh I wou;ldn' tb intersted in repurchasing no tbecause I dislik ehe game bu tbecause I'm perfectly happy with the way it is. I jus tdon't feel it needs remastering.

If your premise of all encompassing hatred is true It's not hatred, it's ridicule. Andromeda is a meme. any attempt to revive Mass Effect post ME3 is absolutely doomed to fail on all fronts because ME3 is clearly where the backlash and "roasting" of the franchise began What I get from this is that you don't understand peoples complaints about ME3. Even after all the arguments we've had about it. and people still talk about hating the endings 7 years gone... and to this day, there has been NO SOLUTION to that ending problem that has generated universal appeal and quelled those complaints Was there an attempt? Do you see it anywhere? I don't. and your proposals simply aren't that magical solution either. I'm not claiming to have the perfect solution, but all I hear is the people that don't want anything to do with the Milky Way saying they don't want anything to do with the Milky Way. That's the complain I am getting. Clearly, people who are actively hating on Andromeda are becoming fewer and fewer They're not hating, they are laughing. There are quite a few signs that people have been revisiting the game and finding it "not as bad" as they first thought. Not everyone, of course... but quite a few I think those are the same people that liked the game and are now popping up saying "it wasn't as bad". Some might not, of course, but I'm thinking there's some serious overlap here. Regardless, you're still a million consumers or two short of EA's projections and nobody's going to waste another $60 for more Bioware memes. Not without a hook. The criticisms of Andromeda simply haven't had the sustained rant factor that the ME3 endings have had Because we laughed at Andromeda. ME3 gave people crippling depressions. And on the one hand it is a testament to the series that it had such a profound impact on its players, but on the other hand maybe not aim for that kind of effect? Deep seated psychological trauma tends to have a lasting impression on people. If it's a great game, all will be forgiven in a heartbeat But it won't help, if it doesn't sell. People just won't care. When you let people down consecutively, that's what you get, disinterest. " It's good now. We're good. You all can come back. We made a good game". Yeah, no, nobody's going to care for that. Maybe you and I will, but we're not enough. You're going to need that hook to lure people in before that. The only promise that Andromeda 2 will bring to consumers will be memes, and if it doesn't deliver on that, there will be even less interest. Some people will check it out, if it does turn out to be good, but people won't be looking out for it, they won't be saving that $60 for Andromeda 2, they're not going to pre-order and if it is to generate buzz, loud enough to get into people's minds, it's going to have to work real hard and be really, really good to achieve that. 11/10 kind of good. Is it doable? It is. Can current Bioware do it? I strongly doubt it. Your backlash IS a wild speculation based in fear In Schreier's Andromeda article, several Bioware employees had, allegedly, stated how they disliked when youtubers and other gaming media outlets reported pessimistically on Bioware's internal problems and Andromeda's troubled development. They also noted how it was bringing their morale down and wanted those to stop. You know as well as I that these won't stop and that future game development of Bioware games will also be influenced by them. My point is and has always been that an announcement that blows everyone away, while it won't quell those articles completely, it will stump them to an extent that they are viable, or at least manageable. The immediate survival of Bioware itself is the bigger issue. It is dependent almost entirely on DA4. If DA4 doesn't recoup some of the reputation, we are simply not going to get to a point where there will be another new ME game Even so, planning for the future is not a pointless endeavor. If a meteor was on a collision course with Earth, we wouldn't stop taking measures for climate change. Even as Bioware readied for the release of Andromeda, they had people working on the next Dragon Age and Anthem at the same time. Now is the time to lay the foundation for the next Mass Effect. And as such, it has to be a foundation that prepares Mass Effect against the worst case scenario.

And as such, it has to be a foundation that prepares Mass Effect against the worst case scenario. (Shrug). Same o' Same o' Nothing says they can't plan among themselves for the future while focusing on DA4... and just keep playing their cards close to their vest. There is no benefit at this time to making the fan base privy to the specifics of their plans for ME content regardless of what content they might be considering. All they'll do is piss off one "side" or the "other." If they say nothing, both sides are just left waiting. If you haven't got any patience to wait... that's your problem. Not mine.
You can discuss your ideas all you want here. You're not laying a foundation for anything. Bioware does that whether you like it or not, whether you still have faith in them or not.

All they'll do is piss off one "side" or the "other." I can tell you one side won't piss off, but they will hope for the worst possible ME game, just so they can have something to laugh at, though. If they say nothing, both sides are just left waiting. If you haven't got any patience to wait... that's your problem. Not mine. I'm not talking about waiting, I'm talking about planning.

(Shrug) Same o' Same o'. You're not planning, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. I've long since gotten the impression that what YOU want is the worst possible ME game, etc. because you dislike Bioware. You've told us that enough times.
The bottom line is that YOU have no authority to plan anything on behalf of Bioware. If you want that sort of authority... go buy them out and place yourself in the CEO seat. One thing I certain of is that if you do, I won't be buying any game you've had a hand in planning.

I have to agree with Upupagain by saying nothing till the last moment is a win in my book in doing so the youtubers cannot do more than speculate, rather than twist anything Bioware says to their advantage.

I dunno ... he doesn't striker me as someone who's actually trying to sabotage the company with bad ideas. Fine. Not going to argue with you... you're entitled to your impression. On a more relevant note, what benefit do you see to Bioware in making an announcement about specifically whether or not the next ME game is going to take plaice in the Milky Way and completely abandon Andromeda vs. the next game will take place in the Andromeda galaxy. How many new fans will they actually gain by such an announcement. It's certain they will disappoint and drive away some with either announcement. Then, what happens when they get into detailed work on the project... and it typically doesn't exactly fit what they have previously announced... From what I've seen, it releases an outrage about the devs not following through on their "promises" every single time.
Will such an announcement sell more copies of DA4? Will it ultimately sell more copies of ME5... 4 to 5 years from now? Or is it more likely just going to feed the Youtubers and allow their channels to make more money creating another meme-fest? The real problem as I see it is that the Youtubers are the ones in a "game drought" just shopping around for "news" to keep their viewerships up.

because you dislike Bioware Funny, I get the same impression out of you. You mask your opinions under the visage of good will, yet I only see them inflict harm on Bioware. And when I point out the progressively realized effects of your opinions, you tell me there is no point in arguing. It's like you are scared of something, like being find out, or that you have no idea what you are talking about. But when I argue for an opinion, that doesn't mirror your own, you start this combative attitude that all I will do is bring ruin ... while not presenting an argument of how that will happen. I don't think you love Bioware. I think you want to see them die. I have to agree with Upupagain by saying nothing till the last moment is a win in my book Unlike Apex Legends, Mass Effect won't be a free to play game, that costs nothing to the consumer to download and play. In which case, no, you need to build up hype, you need to build up the FOMO. You can't drop it on people going "here's a game, that'll be $60, please". Why the fuck would anyone give EA/Bioware their money? It shows lack of confidence in your product. Look at how that worked for Rage 2 and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. And I bought both of these games. Nobody cared. And you can pay Twitch streamers to promote the game for you, sure. But they're going to promote the MP, at best. The SP isn't Twitch stream material. And while there were plenty of people that played the MP version of ME3, it's not what people look forward to the most in a ME title, it's not what sells the copies. If that were true, the Andromeda MP would be thriving. Instead, the ME3MP mode is more populated, 7 years after the release of ME3.

because you dislike Bioware Funny, I get the same impression out of you. You mask your opinions under the visage of good will, yet I only see them inflict harm on Bioware. And when I point out the progressively realized effects of your opinions, you tell me there is no point in arguing. It's like you are scared of something, like being find out, or that you have no idea what you are talking about.

You get the impression I dislike Bioware and yet another poster here calls me a "fanbois." I'm the one here who like ME:A (the most recent SP game they've produced). I can't play Anthem, but I'd be interested in it if I could. You're the one who dislikes everything they've done since ME2. I just don't think Bioware is obligated to feed your narcissism. My opinions are based on what I genuinely like in a game. You seem to want to drive away any fan who likes things you personally don't like yourself. You're the one pushing your proposal and whining when you don't get agreement on it. I'm the one that's been saying let Bioware execs do their jobs. Let Casey decide what he wants to do. Wait to see what sort of game they tell us they want to produce. Stop trying to run their company for them.

"fanbois" is a play on fanboy, and it was aimed at the ones who like ME, not just you. Personally, I think it's funny that people are getting worked up over a VIDEO GAME. I mean, they're just for entertainment.

You're the one who dislikes everything they've done since ME2 Well, it just so happens that every game since then has been met with some criticism and a certain inability to meet expectations and/or sales targets. You propose that they stick to the same tactic, i.e. keep delivering products that will meet the same fate, whereas I propose a change of tactic and while not necessarily a return to Bioware's roots, I am not advocating for an isometric RTwP/TB RPG, I am suggesting something that will appeal out of sheer emotional value. 'Member berries, you might argue at this point, sure, but effective ones, nonetheless and if you use them right, which is not hard, as people have literally no expectations out of Bioware now, can go a long way into showing that Bioware cares for their fans and consumer base. It is a gesture of good will, because they've sure squeezed every last drop of those with Anthem.

I mean, they're just for entertainment. Yes, they are just for entertainment. It is also business. Game media and youtube is also business. Dev stress is serious business. I lost a good friend to that stress when he committed suicide. He didn't take "ridicule" well.

As we Brits say, stiff upper lip.

It didn't help.
