It should be pretty easy to tell if it does change, the Sims is pretty gay, removing it will be very noticeable.

That game is super gay. In fact, same-sex relationships being added was a huge deal back in the day.

We can kiss that goodbye

Guy is totally right.

I don’t think Andromeda did them any favors.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Andromeda is fun as fuck. bad launch does not mean a bad game.

[–] DonGirses@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know what they say about first impressions...

[–] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

say that to anyone who loves No Man's Sky or cyberpunk. or minecraft even.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I genuinely don't recall a time when anyone complained about Minecraft being a bad or incomplete game and I have an alpha badge on my account. I think.

[–] Nima@leminal.space -3 points 1 week ago

exactly. that was my point.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one -1 points 1 week ago

Andromeda just needed more time to cook.

In before the plethora of people shittalking BioWare and how it's 'not the same anymore' blah blah blah.

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Mass Effect 2 was the last great game Bioware made. So, yeah.

EA is well known for turning studios to shit. They have quite the impressive graveyard at this point.

[–] Timbits@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

ME3 was great up until the last 5 minutes.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

ME3 might’ve shit the bed but Dragon Age: Inquisition was still great and sold over 12 million copies

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

So great that they made the ending be sold as DLC.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they're all good. what is this elitist weird shit. lol.

[–] Womble@piefed.world 0 points 1 week ago

TIL having an opinion on what games are bad is "elitist weird shit"

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I mean the last Bioware game I played and enjoyed start to finish was Dragon Age: Origins, so... /shrug.

I accept that ME2 was a good game, but I couldn't get into it. It felt too much like a shooter, too little like an RPG for me. And don't get me started on DA2. "ANOTHER WAVE!" and character customization being kneecapped, or completely removed in the case of your party members, left me quitting it after some 3-4 hours.

Inquisition was okay, but I still lost interest after some 6-8 hours. It wasn't "bad," but it was still an okay game wearing a good games skin.

Bioware losing the creative freedom to explore characters outside of the mainstream that the saudi's are going to permit them to write/create is a real problem. As a marker of political freedom of expression and as a stance against the fucking fascists that are rapidly encroaching on people's rights, this is a huge step in the wrong direction. But I won't mourn any specific games. Honestly, I hope they get axed, so they are given the opportunity to go indie and/or get picked up by a better producer/studio.

Well at least they refunded the balance on my yearly EA Play subscription when I cancelled it this morning.
