Especially in the game series that basically put BioWare on the map, that would be like Blizzard losing the Starcraft IP and another studio making Starcraft 3 and reinvigorating the entire RTS genre in the process, setting new standards for what an RTS is and should be.
I’m not sure they even noticed. These studio execs are far more obsessed with how to mint coin from Zoomers with the next freemium mobile game than they are with cultivating a quality franchise.
I mean… the most negative thing I’ve heard about Starfield is that it’s a bit empty, and doesn’t meet the (insanely high) bar that Skyrim set. A lot of people I know bought Starfield at launch, played it through once or twice, and although they stopped after that they didn’t have any really bad things to say.
Fallout 76 was a much worse game, with way more negative sentiment.
I don’t think that’s comparable. Starfield still mostly feels like their old games, it just hasn’t changed so the game feels like it’s 10+ years old versus any real innovation. Bethesda is just stubbornly frozen in time without any fresh ideas. Bioware now versus Bioware then is a much more noticeable difference, in my opinion.
Baldur’s Gate 3, by Larian Studios, is amazing. It’s basically old-school BioWare but with current-day graphics. It’s so good that it shows how much of a mess BioWare games are now, especially because BioWare did BG1 and 2.
Baldur’s Gate 3 this year really showed just how far BioWare has fallen.
Wonder how BioWare felt when they got out-“BioWare RPG”’d by Larian
I wonder if that’s why they so suddenly added another year to the development of Dreadwolf.

It’s downright embarrassing for BioWare.

Hey there is worse: look at Bethesda and starfield!

Eli5? I thought everyone loved that game, I didn’t wanna try it cause I don’t like turn based

It’s because bioware made 1 and 2. And they did it pretty well. A competing studio made 3 and whupped them
