And of those people, who:

1) actually played the game?

Hell no, absolutely not, like really?
After the honest (not paid for) reviews, why on earth would I?
After the game’s dismal failure, it would seem I dodged a very rainbow coloured bullet.

2) went on to complete the game?

See above.

@JonRGV250 you have contributed 6% of the entire thread's posting content and haven't even played the game. You read some reviews and they hurt your feelings and it's all terribly sad, in every way.

At least @Neil79, twitter warrior and twitter worrier, managed an hour which, although also hilarious in itself because it generated so much ... just word vomit ... it's somehow less bad than no effort gamers making pro-tier complaints because ~their sensibilities were hurty wurty~

A joke, the pair of you.

Again, why would I pay for and play a game that’s been universally trashed and has failed financially? Why?
You’re really not very good at this virtue signaling lark, try more harder.
We believe in you, keep trying champ.

I'm now 85 hrs deep, not going to lie there is even more cringe in the dialogues now but..

The overall game is still pretty fun.

I get why this was reviewed badly, which is a shame really as the core gameplay is pretty decent.

^ That is what most decent review sites said! The dialogue is all over the place, the characterisation varies from great to appalling but the core gameplay loop is still pretty good. Very few people said it was great, even in this thread!

It's a solid, sometimes cringy, sometimes really fun, action RPG. It is good not great. It is not objectively awful just because you spend too much time on twitter and reddit engaging in pointless culture war garbage. And if that is your thing, maybe do more of that and less gaming - know your strengths.

Doesn't matter how you did it, the irony seems to be lost on you that you've added even less value to the thread than the person/s you're criticising.

TBF I'll likely play this when it drops to £9.99, I feel my enjoyment of it will be relative to how much I paid in this instance.

I ended up blocking her in another thread about Netflix. Doesn't add anything to the thread good or bad, just latches on to specific people in the thread even when it doesn't even involve them :cry:

BioWare staff "loaned" to other EA studios may not be returning, new report suggests

A new report now suggests that some BioWare staff "loaned" to other EA studios will not be returning.

A new report now suggests that some BioWare staff "loaned" to other EA studios will not be returning.

Earlier this week, amid reports of potential layoffs at BioWare, studio general manager Gary McKay has confirmed "many" employees have now been moved elsewhere in EA following the completion of Dragon Age: The Veilguard - and that a remaining core team is fully focused on Mass Effect 5.

My value* is in pointing out that several posters in this thread - many of whom are loud and vocal, like me (see? self reflection isn't that bad) - are 'adding value' having not played the thing they're commenting on. It's really, really tiresome.

Then again, so am I as I'm going over old ground but for the same reasons.
