Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

BioWare’s workplace culture has been showing warning signs of dysfunction for years. This is sadly not surprising.

@SleepySteve
Thanks EA.

@igotnopicks
Pretty sure “Bioware magic” was a thing before EA acquired them.

Thank god Bioware wasn’t contracted to do Baldur’s Gate 3.

What’s keeping Bioware alive again?

EA money.

@CaptainXtra
EA, which is who’s also killing them.

I ran into hackers twice online in Mario Kart 7 today. The kind that spam Bob-ombs and other OP items even BEFORE the countdown began. I’ve had to shut off my 3DS’s wireless connection to get out of the race, hoping that if I wait long enough before going back in, I’ll be paired up with other players who aren’t using homebrew or whatever that is.

Now that’s something…

You ever wonder if Raiden uses Blade Mode to shave?

Are games a waste of time?

@DoubleX
No more than any other hobby.

@DanielOrange
or at least find one who change only the look of the characters.

@DoubleX
If they are then I still have 0 regrets pouring hours of my life into them.

Okay, I have a new purchase plan: to get “Super Mario RPG” despite the fact the game is coming out a week AFTER my birthday. I found out it contains an “Easy Mode”. Now I’m sold.

I honestly think siding with Legion is more interesting and fun than siding with the NCR.

@Mikey
Personally, I’d feel too bad about siding with the Legion.

@Meanlucario
At least you get to side with the villain if you choose.

You’re not wrong.

It’s just that the Legion themselves aren’t very interesting.

@Mikey
I rather side with fun-evil than realistic evil personally.

@Meanlucario
The Institute? Aren’t they more dumb and generic evil?

@Mikey
It’s complicated. The game wants the player to feel like a hero no matter who you choose. Murphy will tell you a variant of “you did good kid” depending on who you side with if you give her drugs after finishing the story.

@Mikey
They aren’t “rape women until their reproductive system gives out then work then to death” evil, and for some people that’s enough,

Whose does that title belong to?
