The longer I listened the more it turned into a violent struggle of life and death

Yeah my sides were gone when I first heard those files. Then I felt like dying putting them together.

Just think. Some guy at ESRB got paid to watch it.

Hey, I had nothing to do with characters or animation. Most of that was done in Montreal.

So I see someone's on /meg/.

this is what their budget went into, modeling shark dick so you can be a good goy and fuck aliens

That's loco. Demonfiren will be happy.
Love your new avatar, by the way.

I'd be happy if the rest of the game was worth anything.
Shit, I got into Mass Effect for the worldbuilding and story. It literally gave me a lore fetish.

So, it turned out that that was actually a bug - game merged default and non-default face together.

I wish for one of these young adult novel romance rpgs one day someone will make one with a character in it that you can't fuck, not because they don't give you the option to try, but because they say they are more interested in saving the world right now, and if you keep pressing the matter and try to fuck your other party members they get uncomfortable with your unprofessional behavior and leave.

CURRENT YEAR!Bioware making KOTOR 3. Jesus Christ, it would be worse than the prequels.

As long as SWTOR is kicking about then they're not going to make a KoTOR3. Considering everything that could have been a continuation of KoTOR 1 and 2 has been pretty much explored with TOR and then some. (Side note, the recent SWTOR story expansion wasn't all that bad storywise and pretty good for being thrown unto an MMO mechanic wise).

When I say "KOTOR 3", I don't actually mean direct sequel to KOTOR - in fact, that's pretty unlikely, seeing as KOTOR is legends now, they'll probably want to make a canon story. I mean a Star Wars RPG (which would be KOTOR in all but name), that Bioware will inevitably make sooner or later. Shit, it might be in development right now.

I just hope no Jade Empire 2.

Jade Empire will never get a sequel.

AP doesn't need a sequel, it needs a good remake.

AP was a pretty great game. Shame the initial reception made it get dropped like an unwanted baby.

Well, it wasn't that undeserved. The shooting bits were bad, the stealth was a joke (you could literally turn invisible), the game had no challenge at all if you specced into pistols (which you did, if you did a pacifict run like me), and on top of it was a buggy mess with obvious cut content (G22 and Sis, anyone?).
The writing, however, was great, and when the game promised that your choices will matter, it did not lie - AP's replayability puts New Vegas into the cuck shed.

G22 were great. Albatross is my favourite covert asshole.

Good taste. And Halbech-Betray is the best ending.

I prefer the more moral choice of crashing this project with no survivors.

They'd still have the conundrum where to stick an RPG with different options in a canonical timeline; an RPG with decisions won't likely fly as it honestly seems they don't want the non-canon decisions there at all. Thus we're getting games that are linear with their set story going the same course no matter what.

They have three options at this point for a SW RPG.

1. Another game set so long before the actual lore-covered period that it couldn't possibly conflict with anything.
2. Legends. They said that they are still going to release stuff for it, though it depends if their marketing would aim for players of KOTOR 1 and 2, and other fans of Legends, or the Rebels crowd.
3. Legends galaxy was a large place. While everyone in current canon is "closer" to each other than before, they could still fit in a game somewhere without impacting any current plot points. The problem is, you are either railroaded into oblivion, with an obvious "THIS IS NOT CANON" Dark Side ending, or the consequences of it's events won't reach any further than the system the game is set in, perhaps several surrounding systems.

They might go with 3, since it would match their Andromeda MO a bit - a game set, technically, in SW universe, with all SW equipment and such, but with only mentions of lore characters.
OR they could go for Outer Rim and do ANDROMEDA IN STAR WARS.

Here we go again!

IH can i get a link to your profile picture, it's endearing for some reason.

Will this be able to surpass the flop that is No Mans Sky?

Sure thing, family. I've absolutely hated Sarah's design at first, but then the more I looked at her shitty animations, the more I saw an ugly autist, who really tries her best to act human. Cute, endearing, relatable!

Sadly, no. Bioware are incompetent hacks, full of divesity hires, who made an incredibly shitty game with 40 million dollar budget. That's pretty bad. However, they didn't outright lie about what sort of a game they're actually making. Sean, meanwhile, was essentially a malicious version of Peter Molyneux, he couldn't stop promising us sky for five seconds.

let's not pretend that actual, personal attacks or threats on someone for making dumb animations in a video game isn't entirely fucked up

obviously not everyone is doing that, but still

Making threats are bad. Nobody disagrees with that.

The soundtrack is decent.

What's most amazing about this is that nobody, at any point in time, looked over her shoulder and saw the work she was doing and said

"Hey...this isn't very good. What's going on here?"

Like this awful, awful work never threw up any kind of quality control flags.
Or did it?

There're two possibilities here:

1) People saw the work she was making and knew it was shit and didn't think to do anything about it (or couldn't) because she was a woman and they didn't want some kind of PR fiasco to come out. The "we NEED to have a woman do this" philosophy. Someone saw it, saw it was shit, but didn't say anything about it.

2) People just don't know what the fuck they're doing. People saw this internally and thought it was good. Nobody around had the talent or critical capacity to see this and think "Hey, something isn't right with this." People saw it, but because they're also shit heads or lack talent, didn't recognize it as bad.


Either way it's really fucking bad, but the causes are completely different. Honestly, it would be better for Bioware if it was the former. They could just sack this one fool, and maybe fire whoever hired her and the people responsible for overseeing this shit and move on. Make good games again.

If it's the latter than the whole enterprise is just a ship of fools and there's really no fixing that.

You're missing 2 possibilities:

3) Something went wrong, that wasn't immediately obvious, and it was too late to fix it without delaying the game's release. For example, perhaps they used a new facial animation skeleton that they eventually figured out would not produce what they wanted. But, by the time they came to the realization, it was too late to do anything about it without delaying the release. No "we can't have someone else do it for PR reasons", no "We think this is good", but you still get a shitty game.

4) Insufficient resourcing. Would not shock me to learn that a corporation did not distribute sufficient resources to produce quality content for a sequel to a known cash cow.

As I'm pretty sure was mentioned, this wasn't done by their A-team.
Or B-team

They gave it to the newbies, with minimum oversight.
Turns out that doesn't lead to high quality graphics. At this point, I'm sure they knew it. But hey, it's a big name title, people are going to buy it anyway

And I personally know at least 4 people that did

I was really disappointed that Rock Paper Shotgun spoiled that for me by saying that Garrus has been off playing space batman in their review, and thats why I don't read reviews anymore.

holy shit someone who has a clue how game development works

It was probably number 4, they know it's going to sell anyway so why bother? Almost every big game series degenerates into that after a few sequels.
