Now, if EA has DICE Make the new Battlefront? Holy shit I'll be excited. And if we get another KOTOR Esque title because it was given to Bioware? Man, that'll be the fucking best. I don't know about you guys, but I am excited for the titles they might release.
I'd like you to take a look at a little game called Battlefield Play4free and tell me how you feel about it after an hour. It probably won't have as much meaning to you as you probably never saw the game before EA decided it wasn't pulling its weight, but..
Anyway, I confess I liked ME3 and didn't have much of a problem with the ending. If you want to see the reasons people do there's plenty of sources online concerning it. But that's
Bioware. I imagine if they had their way it'd be over after 3, but instead EA's making them create 4, something that's indubitably going to go awful. It'd be sorta like Halo 4 where it's set after what was supposed to be the last game in the franchise, but without the commitment of the fans that worked within the company. That's not to say Bioware doesn't like its own story, but I can't imagine they'll feel any compulsion to put as much thought into it as the first three titles..
As for DICE making BFIII, I wouldn't have issue with that. Battlefront was originally a Battlefield ripoff in the first place (and objectively a rather poor one at that). What I do have an issue with is EA doing the publishing and making these stupid executive decisions that sacrifice the integrity of the game to pull some extra money in.
Lastly, KOTOR. You do realize TOR was made by Bioware, riiiight? (and apparently is the KOTOR 3 campaign) The game they had to go F2P just a year or two after release because subscribers were leaving in troves? They're unlikely to make any other Old Republic title while that's still bringing in revenue.
Justified pessimism is always better than blind optimism. Hop on chat sometime so we can yell at each other, eh?

How so? The only recent blunder I can think of is Kinect Star Wars. We had 1313 coming out, as well as First Assault and Battlefront 3 if FA did well. I don't see how they're cashcowwy, either. Sure, there are a few stinkers like Republic Heroes, but they don't have any F2P titles (except for CWA, and that's Sony), they don't rehash the same thing every freaking year, they don't even make DLC for their games, for pete's sake! How could you possibly say that?
