Oh, just reading about what they've done to the company. Yeh, only one thing for it, boycot all EA games.

I feel for you. My childhood was full of games from Imagine…Play The Game, Ocean, Software Projects and Gremlins Graphics. Not sure if any of those are still going…

Fuck. The end of Mass Effect 2 remains one of the defining cultural experiences of my teenage years.

Feeling pretty sad about it. I think there'll never be a game which will hit me quite as much as Dragon Age Origins, which is partly nostalgia, but partly also the very specific mix which went into the game.

I disagree. Sure, many traditional AAA studios are failing. But there are a lot promising smaller studios around. With a lot of interesting projects. Also BioWare's people won't disappear. This can be chance for something new.

I bought ME2 cos reviewers were saying it shows video games can be mature, then I started playing it and the camera is always at ass level for the woman in skin tight clothes

Gutting but honestly I think the new Mass Effect was endlessly delayed because they don't have a story, and when it finally came out it would have been another Andromeda-style 7/10-but-derivitive experience. I'm cautiously hopeful about Exodus though

The Great Consolidation continues to fuck everything under the sun.

Ah man I remember the original Baldur's Gate, wandering around the map just listening to birds singing and feeling total immersion in their world....founded by Alberta doctors working part time!

Wait... "early" development on Mass Effect? The same one they announced years ago?
