the signs that ME3 wasn't gonna be what Bioware told us were in plain sight since ME2 I knew, the moment I played the DA2 demo. Didn't buy that, dodged a bullet and haven't bought a Bioware game since. Unless they take corrective measures with Will Continue, they can enjoy their 1.3m copies sold, in $140m budget games. A game 10 years in the making. Wow.

At this rate all future Bioware games will be half done and modders need to rescue it for free.

You know, I'm glad I never brought into the hype crap for the LE. As the saying goes: "fool me once..."

Well if that is what they cared about as well not even bothering announcing if they stopped supporting the Remaster with patches I will be very happy to not pay for anything else they put to sale. I sadly see the people who are interested in the next ME game be so juvenile looking forwards the next game not realizing Bioware is just gonna do away with most of their choices and favorite characters as if the players never did took them, remember: Emily Wong, Corporal Tombs, the choice of the Collectors Base, Scanning the Keepers, etc because Bioware didn't care enough.

I'm pretty sure it's dumped, by now. Maybe the entire studio was on summer vacation, so progress is low, but their contract probably expired and they are no longer obligated to support it further. The job is done, they got paid and the deal is over. I sadly see the people who are interested in the next ME game be so juvenile looking forwards the next game not realizing Bioware is just gonna do away with most of their choices and favorite characters as if the players never did took them, remember: Emily Wong, Corporal Tombs, the choice of the Collectors Base, Scanning the Keepers, etc because Bioware didn't care enough. You can't expect Bioware to care for what they created. They stopped caring some time in 2010. It's not going to change.

Hell, I expect that Solas will end up as a typical cartoon villain in DA4 with the same "you won't understand my plans" BS, even after he explained it in DAI's last DLC. Solas' plan is stupid and his logic is flawed, just like Bioware has been doing with every villain in every game they've released since 2011. Things that can easily be debunked, are not and are treated as gospel, instead. Not to mention that DA4 is, basically, the same game as Inquisition. You're doing the exact same thing, with a reskinned villain. Granted, it's been 7 years already since you did it and there's something about not changing games too much, but if that were true, Bioware would be making Dragon Age: Origins 4. Instead, they're making a sequel to a game that will be 9 years old, that never charted and whose real ending was cut and sold as DLC, which nobody bought, because nobody cared, but it's the best Dragon Age game, in terms of sales, ever! Was outsold by Anthem, on launch. I repeat: was outsold by Anthem. Which was considered a flop. Yet, Inquisition was such a huge success, it charted nowhere. Inquisition lost money. At this point, I consider Bioware to be EA's big money laundering scheme. Which is probably why they keep them around, no matter how bad things get.

I can understand people who played the OT on PC with mods wouldn't feel all that excited about the remaster, but for those of us who played it on PS3, with no backwards compatibility in the newer consoles, the LE was a godsend. I ended up playing on the PC, but even then I loved it because it gave me all three games and dlc with a reasonable price (in my opinion). So for the console generations and those who never got the chance to play it on PC I have no complaints despite no new content. I would have loved it for sure, but I understand the cost of doing so (especially when much of the work took place during the pandemic) wasn't really worth it for an endeavor they couldn't even be sure would be appreciated at all.
Just my two carrots.

That's nice and all, bunny, but there's some bad blood involved here and a remaster isn't making amends. This was just a job for a quick buck and nothing else. Excuse me for not being moved by it.

Just my two carrots. I played it on 360, and I should have been critical of ME2 rather than just accept the game as it was (Arrival was an ok transitional content but there should have been more with it). Bioware also took a ton of players choices and dumped them down the drain as they were more focused to cash in ME3 and again with the LE. I loved being able to play the games with the DLC but let's be real, that was the bare minimum and the only extra thing Bioware did in ME2 was adding a message from the Alliance Banks telling you that your ME1 credits have been forwarded to you only for the big minds at Bioware decide to ignore what they themselves programed in the message and reduce the credits transfered and leaving the rest of the Edition issues intact.

It'd work better to make a good product and have some proper support for it to begin with, but nah. Another thing, Bioware went through the trouble of making a new email for ME2 LE which is from an in-game bank telling you that your money is being re delivered to you after two years and that it is 999K (or another amount depending what players had) but Bioware decided that was not right in and nerfed the credits we see ourselves yet the email still is saying the same amount of credits are being delivered to you despite that we only see 110K creds recognized from ME1 LE transfer and then there is the 200K+ awarded for completing ME2 LE. It's a good thing they didn't add anything else like a new email or a new side mission where we ran into A/K, Bioware would just patch out the content and choices rather than focus on the problems in the game.

I don't know how to tell you this, but Bioware actively hates the trilogy now. They hate it, because they ruined the franchise with it and also made it impossible to move past it. They also blame us for not accepting everything new they make and keep mentioning what they do wrong, while also not buying their games. It's our fault that Bioware's products aren't being bought in the numbers they use to. And it is true, but we were the ones buying them. We just stopped. That we stopped is Bioware's problem, but they won't do anything to rectify it.
