Bioware will soon be retooled into another Battlefield developer. It's only a matter of time.If this doesn't show that Bioware is done then I don't know what does.

It's apparently exactly what happened to Stig at Sony Santa Monica. Apparently they cancelled the new IP he was heading and he left or was laid off soon afterwards.
Now all Bioware needs to do is bring back Karpyshyn.
Guess he chose blue.
So blue ending it is.
Don't get you started on what, one of the best franchises of last gen? Or is this a case where your preference/opinion dwarfs the massive majority of both reviewers and gamers that see it as such?Awesome games like what? Baldur's Gate? Sure, I'll give you that. But what have we had since?
Jade Empire? Barely even worth remembering.
Kotor? Obsidian ate their lunch with Kotor 2.
Mass Effect? Don't even get me started.
plz take Mac Walters with you.
Hope it's not a sign the new Bioware IP is struggling to take shape.
Given how BioWare seems to be in this weird transition phase, it might be a sign of new changes to come.

Looks like he picked his color ending, after all.
shit, which color did he select on his way out?
Does it matter?

If you are trying to say that KOTOR [GOTY 2003 for critics and gamers], ME1 & ME2 [GOTY 2010 for critics and gamers] are shitty games, well, we don't have nothing to discuss.
Whoa, this is unexpected. I liked him, I watched a lot of the dev videos before ME2 launched and he was definitely a visionary in Bioware. Best of luck to him, maybe moving to work on a new IP? The reactions to the ME3 ending must've been soul crushing.
I had the opportunity to meet Casey and the ME team. He was a pretty awesome dude, I wish him all the best.
This so much. I was actually hoping Mac would leave but Casey would stay. I like Casey
I love how the opinion "KOTOR II is a better game than KOTOR I" is slowly hyperbolizing into "KOTOR I was shit."
Let's check back in once November rolls around.
I think this kind of covers it:
"And the people here are some of my closest friends. I’ve spent more time with many of you than my own family"
Interestingly enough, Mac's title is now "Narrative Director" and not "Lead Writer."
The reactions to the ME3 ending must've been soul crushing.
Kotor 1 was amazing and considered one of the all-time best Star Wars games and Mass Effect 1 and 2 are considered, even by GAF, and two of the best games of last generation. But you're right, he was clearly shit.

God I would pay to read that story! Between EA forcing them to make the game with a less than 2 year dev cycle and the fan reaction, to what was ultimately a garbage ending, the team must have been devastated.I still hold onto the hope that someone will write the story of how that ending came to be and Bioware's internal reaction the the blowback someday.
I never called it shit so I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth.
i can hear the toilet flushing. be afraid, bioware.

Okay. You dot quoted someone completely dismissing the first game while also saying yourself that BioWare's writing sucks, so I don't think my jump in logic was hard. But you're right, you never said it was shit.
Gotta say, it's threads like this that make developers really hate GAF and the reason people like Cliff B says GAF is a full of cunts.
Casey Hudson is one of the most achieved developers in the last decade and his games were beloved by GAF but because of one shitty ending everyone is saying how great it is that he's gone, leaving snarky remarks, and being a smartarse. His games were some of my most memorable gaming memories and I think it's a huge bummer he didn't get to end on a high note or make a new, awesome IP. I really hope he can find a new place, maybe in a smaller company, making new RPG's.
