Mass Effect Andromeda Skepticism thread

You may want to rethink whether or not you belong in a fan forum when you need a derogatory term for people who don't think the games/developer are horrible like you do.

It certainly seems like it could be a contributor. Even if it's being exaggerated, as I've seen happen in workplaces, they still clearly have some issues. There is some type of disconnect, some production employees who need to go, and some leaders who need to go.

Come on all of it takes resources you're being disingenuous, if you are not intertwining narrative and design ala the witcher you are doing it wrong. And the problem with bioware is that they are politicising a mediocre product to say that if you dislike their stuff you are a misogynist and a terrible person

The mere existence of LGBT characters does that to some people.

I guess all of the other themes in the other DA games that can be interpreted as "political" aren't a problem until it comes to a subject you have a problem with.

Hmm, I understand your point, but how should I put it, what irks me is their use of politics as a marketing scheme. Like if you value equality and feminism, then support our product, it's for that reason that so many people here buy into bioware's sales pitch. This leave them able to lazily design a bad game whilst tricking people into thinking that this is a game that represents them.

BioWare doesn't. Not in the slightest.

Maybe you're just taking offense to the fact that they talk about LGBT characters and female characters just like they do any other characters, rather than keeping them a secret because you don't want to hear about them.

I didn't follow Inquisitions marketing too closely, but I can't remember that that has ever been made a focus of the marketing. Bioware has included non-straight characters in their games at least since Kotor (didn't play any of BWs games prior to Kotor). 

And as I said before it takes as much ressources to write an LGBT character as takes to write any other. 

Your argument is basically, that if Dorian, Sera, Iron Bull and Josephine had been straight it would've made Dragon Age: Inquisition a better game or if all the romances in DA2 hadn't been open to all genders the game would've been better. But the biggest flaws of those games have nothing to do with the Characters and how they're written. Narrative through Gameplay has never been Bioware's strong point and from what I played in The Witcher 1 and 2 it isn't CDPR's strong suit either.

The biggest complaint about Dragon Age Inquisition is the Open World Design and boring Side Quests. That has nothing to do with the characters. 

Mass Effect 3 didn't cause a big controversity because of Traynor, Cortez or a Bi Kaida, but because of the Ending.

There is way to much focus on the LGBT characters and Bioware's supposed "SJW-Agenda" from the so called "critics" that they fail to realize that the flaws in Bioware Games are elsewhere.

  

If you want to try to make this case, you're going to have to point to someplace where the marketing actually did what you say it did.

Edit: hit by the quote bug again, but we all know what amleth's on about anyway. Is that bug just a mobile thing?

I looked at some trailers and ingame footage. They always show the same Rylers, young, happy, smiling, babyface?

Will it matter if I change their appearance? Make the facial expressions a little harder than they are in the videos? What was awesome about Shepard is that he looked badass in all titles and never smiled (or did he?). It was just not a game for being happy.

It also says we start as rookie and become real soldiers or pathfinders. Will our face age as well, then it would make sense to me. How long a lifespan is the game?

I loved the Mako in ME1 and looking forward to real planet exploring, driving towards the horizon on a planet with alien orbital objects like two suns and so on. That scene on the ateroid in ME1, stopping the Baterians, was brilliant! (Armageddon)

I mean my tolerance level for bad facial animations is pretty high. Even Horizon, with its gorgeous visuals and high scores from critics, have some pretty hideous facial animations here and there. But I wouldn't personal knock the game down for it.

Oh I just love these asinine comments. You're essentially implying that real fans are biodrones that suck Bioware off no matter what they do, especially if they are doing things that are objectively shit. Great thought process. Biodrones never learn.

Duh, everyone knows you're not a real fan if you don't hate the thing you're a fan of
