BioWare becoming Activision? (annual releases thread)

That is very likely true given I saw plenty of complaints directed at the TW3 for not being TW2.

Also, in regards to the specified timeline of prospective future games.  Probably more like a 2 year interval between releases since Bioware likes their DLC's...which I'm convinced they actually make more off their "optional" content than they do on their base games.

Wow, I am surprised at the comment about outcry about abandoning BG series in favor of DA. I came from the community that was loyal to a fault to BG series, and I have never seen any detrimental comments about Bio developing new IPs. Honestly, the only hate I saw was for NWN1, and that went away with the expansions that folks liked.

Overall, I prefer Bio to not roll with just one IP, as I have not to date found another company whose games I liked, and I prefer variety. It's just whenever I look at the description of other games, they do not appeal, save for the Assassin Creed, but when I tried looking at it, the sheer number of titles, and trying to piece together where to start chronologically just made me give up. No way I will ever be able to catch up on that franchise now.

Oh, Arcanum was another game I really was attracted to, but the graphics was simply unacceptable. I wish someone remakes it....

Anyway, I'd love to see a bio game every 2 years or so, with settings that slowly change.

Yep, I just have not seen it in my admittedly specialized BG fora (modding). I did not visit official bio boards much. We sort of just kept playing/modding BG and tried new games as they came along. So I was totally under impression that folks mostly saw the story exhaust itself after the ToB which was not the fav.

This is weak as hell lol I expected better

Ok you need a lesson in business EA is a company that has shared holders it must answer to and i bet EA officials are none too happy Bioware took 5 years to make a game if ME A fails to sell i bet they will make changes to how Bioware does its business Video games are a business 

It did? According to who? Sales, reception, fans? One game being great doesn't exclude another being good. Then again your comment has nothing to say about the quality of the games and why you think that is, just a statement that you think something is shit.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading something about DAI being “the most successful launch in BioWare history,” so they will probably make more, yes.
