Hopefully they don't change ME1's systems too much. ME1 had the second best combat in the series(ME3>ME1>ME2>MEA). I'd say 2nd best on normal difficulty. Immunity was god awful on insanity. *every enemy uses Immunity* *Shepard fires gun that never overheats* “And now we play the waiting game”

I really hope they abandon the weapon restriction based on class, which is a silly antiquated system that doesn’t belong in any kind of shooter game. If I want to be a Vanguard with a sniper, there’s no good reason to lock it out.

Liana Ruppert @dirtyeffinhippyYou're going to want to keep it tuned into Game Informer on Tuesday. We've got some exclusive content to reveal and an entire month of additional celebratory content that I think you'll LOVE. You're not going to want to miss it. - I'd say the odds are... pretty good this will be about ME:LE. EA's quarterly report is also out on Tuesday, so I figured it'd be either Mon or Tues when we heard more.

Would prefer they talk only about good games, not waste time on trash ones. Harsh, but fair. Not really. We have no way to know, objectively, if DA4 will be trash. The game would be trash, as it could be mediocre, decent, good, or great. We can debate if there are more chances of the game being bad then good, but that’s another issue. Hanako’s opinion is strictly based on the fact that the protagonist changed. While the criticism is valid, and I completely understand Hanako’s stance on thinking the game will be trash because of this issue, it should be pointed out that DA4 could be released and be considered a great game, and Hanako would, most likely, considers it trash. So I wouldn’t consider the opinion fair, at least if we look at it from an objective perspective. We know too little to say anything about the game’s quality. Granted, if you share Hanako’s opinion due to issue, I understand if you agree, but it wouldn’t still be a fair opinion.

Not really. We have no way to know, objectively, if DA4 will be trash It says "Bioware" on the cover. It doesn’t matter. If you want to say there are higher chances the game will be bad, compared to good, that’s fine, I’m not going to debate that. BioWare ‘earned’ this in recent years (and maybe even before that), with the various controversies and problems around them. Without seeing any in-game footage of the game and no actual informations on the various features, to say that the game will be trash couldn’t be considered an objective statement. Again, the game could be mediocre, and still, it’d be better then ‘trash’. This is the same reasoning, on the opposite spectrum, that lead a lot of people to say that Cyberpunk would be a masterpiece because CDPR was developing it, despite many warning signs, and we see how it turned out. Again, to be clear, it’s fine if you and others believe the game will be trash. I have my own concern and pessimistic opinion on the game. But to say it’s objective to say DA4 will be trash isn’t true. Anything can happen, and once more, the game doesn’t even have to be ‘good’ to not be trash.

Would you still believe that the game will be trash, based on the scarce informations released, if there were indications that the Inquisitor will be back as the PC? I doubt it. Heck, they could’ve announced that DA4 was an Anthem-like game, and even if that would kill any personal interest I have on it, it doesn’t mean the game will be necessarily trash. Outside of the setting, a few returning characters and a new protagonist, we know nothing of the game, and by far the biggest information on the game is the protagonist, and only because of the mess they created in the fan base with Trespasser.

Even if it's a great game, it matters little if all Bioware stands to the public is trash, because it is likely we will be the only ones to buy it. If even that. The public doesn't want Bioware touching anything, not even their own IPs. The public rejects, before the game is even made.

There is certainly a lot of negativity around BioWare, but I do think that if the game turns out to be good/great, the game could gain momentum, post release, and be successful. They definitely can’t go the DA2 route and build on the hype.

Be careful of assuming the relatively small number of people posting on gaming forums and message boards are representative of “the public” in terms of the purchasing audience.

Even more so considering the state of release. As we could see from Cyberpunk’s reception, players/gamers aren’t reacting kindly on unfinished games at release, nowadays. I’m not saying anything BioWare releases would turn out great, far from it. I’m saying DA4 could be financially successful IF it turns out to be good/great.

Counterpoint, most of the public scarcely pays attention to studio reputations when making their purchases. If it’s well advertised followed by good reviews and word of mouth, the public will buy it and it will sell well. Doubt it. Bioware is, nowadays, notorious enough to keep people away from it, regardless. Even so, the people who would buy it, would do so after it hit the bargain bin. Video games make most of their sales in their first 6 weeks. Going from a complete disinterest to selling millions, is highly unlikely. The game that managed to get good sales overall, while having medium starting interest, was DA:O. And that was when Bioware was at their peak respectability. You won't get that again. Not with how things are now. Be careful of assuming the relatively small number of people posting on gaming forums and message boards are representative of “the public” in terms of the purchasing audience. Yes, I am sure the gaming public is just singing Bioware's praises and it's just a few nasty trolls that speak ill. I'm sorry, I don't believe it. Literally everyone is making fun of Bioware out there. You get someone like Pewdiepie making a video about mocking Bioware, you think people forget? Mass Effect is now synonymous to the "my face is tired" meme. That's Mass Effect to your average normie. I wouldn’t define Anthem a good/great game, though. Even more so considering the state of release. As we could see from Cyberpunk’s reception, players/gamers aren’t reacting kindly on unfinished games at release, nowadays. I’m not saying anything BioWare releases would turn out great, far from it. I’m saying DA4 could be financially successful IF it turns out to be good/great. I don't think anyone will care about Dragon Age. I think it will sell as well as Andromeda did, with an even greater budget. It will need to reinvent the wheel, to do otherwise and it will need to show you that wheel, before the game is out, to get that interest up. It's not happening.
