@@joshuanowlin443 "Telling stories" should be one of the most straight forward and easily fixable areas of game development.. There are literally hundreds of thousands of talented authors out there.. They just need to get one of them to write them a more compelling narrative for future games. DOS2 wasn't a bad story, and BG3 was a huge improvement. though in general I think it could have had more emotional ooomph... but again that's a pretty minor complaint, they still do a good job of showing the story.. the story itself just isn't always that compelling.. But then I'm not even sure Bioware itself is going to be able to recreate something like ME-2..

@@Tyanus2 DA:O - EA bought Bioware when Dragon Age Origins was still in development, the story goes that they had no faith in the game so they cancelled any further development and forced it to an early release. They were then surprised by how well it did. DA:2 - Believing it a fluke rather than a good game people liked, EA then rushed out a sequel in under 18 months and made it focus on ACTION COMBAT because that's what they thought sold. DA:I - Then had a very troubled development, where Bioware were saddled with the Frostbite engine, something that was alien to them and new, and received little to no support for using it (as all the support went to Battlefield devs and games EA had more faith in, because despite 2 well selling games they evidently still didn't care). There've been reports of people from Bioware saying how hellish the development was for DA:I and how amazed they were that the game actually ended up being as well received as it was given the state it was in for most of its development. DA:4 - I have no idea, haven't paid much attention to it yet myself but oof things don't sound great. Long story short, EA stop meddling in your dev studios' games!

@@Tyanus22 only had an 18 month development and it was an experiment on Bioware's part. Most of its flaws imo can be blamed on the short development like the 💩 encounter design, and reused environments. It blatantly copying ME2 so much is all Bioware though. DAI is more Bioware just not doing a good job they learned the wrong lessons from open world games and too much MMOification. Though being forced by EA to use Frostbite didn't help matters.

I’d counter that urging cautious optimism! There’s a very real chance that BG3 wouldn’t have happened if not for the E.A. crowd that kept them going during COVID. This channel got me interested by showing Larian Studios as a heartfelt team doing their best, listening to the testers, and keeping us updated. So I jumped in with some E.A. support. But this video doesn’t really have but one, maybe, game covered that would inspire me to jump in on E.A. support if the devs put one out. And that’s why I love @wolfheartfps as a guy who’s going to speak his truth about gaming and arm me with the info. I need to make informed decisions!

Well said! I think people are still holding Obsidian with too much nostalgia goggles. They're not the same studio that made those iconic RPGs. What they showed in modern time is just not the same and I was hoping Avowed would be the hit-out-of-the-park RPG with a darker fantasy, grander vibe to it than reskinned Outer Worlds... Clearly they bit more than they can chew and I'm surprised at how no one addresses this.

There is kind of schism in Dragon Age community, I think, or even "feel" like it is. Because community as a whole can't figure out "what is" a Dragon Age game gameplay wise. I know it is more of a banal point by now, but with genre-specific games you know what it would be like, even more so, you expect certain systems to be there in the game in the specific genre. Going even further, with early access games like Hades or Larian games (DOS and BG3), you can try a good chunck of the game and how it plays, for a price, yes, but still, you can try, while also knowing that it is a game in a specific genre (roguelike and cRPG, respectfully). All I know about DA is that Solas will be there, that people on social thirsting about Solas and Lavellan as a specific protagonist (no one mentions qunari, humand or god forbid neglected dwarf Inquisition) and posting same 4-6 pics from previews (some of which are years ago). Ok, it releases, what the gameplay would be, not just combat, I mean dialogue system (wheel/or fixed lines), exploration, itemization, progression system? It is much more important, in my opinion, than hyping Solas romance into oblivion. And btw, as a fan of Dragon age lore and world they've built, I am extremely interested in Dreadwolf (and as a fan of Origins as a game, which was innovative for its time).

Eventually a masterpiece will come out again, plenty of great studios out there to bring something good on the table. We will just have to endure the shitshow first, which I don't mind. A good RPG is something you can play for years to ease the pain while waiting, Owlcat and Larian Studios have made sure of that. I am not worried at all about the genre to be fair.

Starfield overall received pretty mediocre reviews and barely anyone is playing it anymore if you look at the charts. That's a let down for a Bethesda game when you compare it to some of their previous games. Glad you enjoyed it though. I was thinking of jumping back in soon.

I was slightly concerned about Avowed. Then I played The Outer Worlds and now I'm really concerned.

There are some excellent long form retrospective reviews on YT that go deep into what worked and most prominently didn't work in TOW.

Agreed. Quality and depth vs manufactured by the focus groups games is a huge concern nowadays, the second one, real world politics is no less big and no less concerning, just because some states have gone nuts in letting their extremes dictate the norms doesnt mean it should be in everything. Just focus on good story, good characters and good combat, no need to complicate it, give people a way to roleplay in a vast fantasy world with interesting backround and likeable/hateable characters and success will come. Just the fantasy of being able to influence the story and the world, saving people is more often than not enough of a lure for most gamers if done well.

Drew Karpyshyn is responsible for some of the best video game narratives of all time. I saw the canary in the coal mine when he wrote the Revan novels though. They honestly made no sense based on what was previously established and although I don't know this for sure, I feel like he was given plot points and forced to write around them for the Revan books rather than creating his own story. It's honestly sad.

I honestly don't know what the hell Bethesda are doing at this point. They have all the money they need to make a great game, but their still stuck in the past. I couldn't believe it when Fallout 4 came out. It had slightly better gunplay than Fallout new vegas, yet had worse story and every so slightly better graphics. Fast forward to 2024 and its the same shit again. Where the hell is the budget going, in these new titles? Cause I can't see it. Story ass, combat Mediocre, graphics are a joke, I wouldn't critique them so hard if it was still 2011. However, it's 2024 and they have a triple A budget, with the mindset of a Indie company, make it make sense.
