Why does EA hate Dragon Age?

Why does EA hate Dragon Age?

the game didn't fail because it was pozzed dogshit, it was an inside job!!

these people are insane and the only cure is a bullet

aliens > elves
normies prefer science fiction over high fantasy

Why doesn't the possibility that the game simply sucked ever occur to them?

Mass Effect has guns. Guns are cool. All the popular games have guns. Dragon Age doesn't have guns. The popular games that don't have guns don't count.

Because Dragon Age is shit. Origins was decent and the series went to shit straight afterward.

This actually lines up with ME becoming less and less rpg like.

according to non-gaming executives, space shit axiomatically sells more than fantasy

Elden Ring, BG3, WoW, Diablo, Harry Potter, etc. all seem to have done rather well.

Bioware finally put up a job posting they aren't killing the edmonton studio

asking for UE 4/5 experience

Nevermind guess they are

Leftists and their eternal bubble chamber where they don't realize that all their shit flops is because nobody sane wants it but some other wild excuse will never not surprise me.

Hating Dragon Age is a perfectly reasonable stance after 2

But EA fucked that shit up from the beginning too. Forcing a sequel out just 16 months after the first game is insane.

Considering how many issues they had with the Frostbite Engine even back during Inquisition, that isn't surprising at all. Makes it easier for them to look for contractors too, since they don't have to spend time teaching them how to use their proprietary engine.

They fucked up Mass Effect super hard too, we just didn't notice because ME2 didn't play like hot ass

Because Mass Effect could meaningfully compete with other third person shooters, but Dragon Age couldn't meaningfully compete with other fantasy RPGs.

what crpgs was it even competing with?

EA gave bioware a ton of money

let them make everything super gay

let their managers run their franchises into the ground

let their devs talk shit all the time on twitter

games fail to work at launch

games are just dogshit in general

OH NO WE WILL DO BETTER WITH DRAGON AGE

game is lazy and mostly a fucking joke, lacks any good Dragon age shit people enjoyed

this rules i cant wait till they finally shoot them

i WANT the greedy evil publisher to destroy more studios an IPs!

dude, no...

I want faggot scammers shot

This guy isn't talking about Veilguard, he's talking about every other game. Including Origins. The only game he's NOT talking about is Veilguard, retard.

other fantasy RPGs

What other fantasy crpgs lmao? There were none at the time

Only Origins was good, while arguments can be made for the Mass Effect sequels. Them being a relatively tight trilogy builds hype by having an audience already invested in the main character, while Dragon Age jumps around and tried something different (and bad) each time. I'm sure Gaider would like to think it's bias, but it's the appropriate reaction to the quality and appeal of the product.

Complete industrsy crash is the only way to move foreward. Shoot every game journo on sight, hang every game developer. Let it all burn down so that a new better vidya can rise from the ashes

I would add that DA2/ME2 was the inflection point for both series. Mass Effect successfully adapted to modern trends with its gameplay formula while generally retaining narrative quality. Dragon Age 2 was a sad dog turd of a game and its writing was right there with it. Of course the series was under greater scrutiny after that.

delusional

Mass Effect is way better

Less games doesn’t automatically make the output better. It just means studios have less competition to worry about.

mass effect is better than dragon age, they are correct

sleek scifi action rpg in the vein of star wars and star trek or another generic high fantasy game woooow what a tough decision

somebody needs to add Assassin Creed at the bottom, with their 60k

bioware fucks up

bioware fucks up

bioware fucks up

and on and on and on. It's almost as if bioware is the problem.

They better not fuck up Mass Effect 4 lol. EA should be watching their every move to make sure they dont fuck up.

Turns out EA was right, because Origins is the only good Dragon Age game.

Inquisition gave us MILF Morrigan, so I can never fully hate it.

whenever DA outperformed ME

Like when? I guess Shitqusition outperformed Shitdromeda, but that was pretty late into this supposed rivalry.

it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins

Gee I wonder why...

Bioware has to die, along with most of the AAA studios. I'd prefer if the ground just opened up underneath them revealing a lake of fire where they would burn for all eternity, but I will settle for letting greedy dumbfuck corporate publishers fire everyone instead.

As others have said for years, Origins was the only good game. DA2 sucked balls and I never played Inquisition once I saw the slightest hint of "woke" (as it's called nowadays) shit in the promotional material. And obviously never played Veilguard either.

Going to an entirely different place and barely involving characters from previous games while focusing on a "new protagonist with a new story to tell" (gay) was a colossal failure.

Fuck Dragon Age, but god damn do I love Origins, what a fantastic game, I miss those days when I would just play it over and over again as some autistic virgin teenager.

At the time Mass Effect was popping off, sci-fi franchises were doing well, and we were in the height of the "death" of CRPG's and a burgeoning fantasy fatigue from all the post-lotr shit flooding the market. Mass Effect was poised and advertised as the next big sci-fi franchise and EA genuinely wanted it to fill the void left by the then mostly dormant Star Wars and Star Trek franchises. To them Dragon Age was just a waste of resources.

It's a franchise that constantly demands more resources than it needs and is mired in some stupid controversy every release post Origins. Must be tiring paying journos constantly to prop up bioware's consistent failures with Dragon Age.

nice webm
