BethesdaEA bad combo? : V

» Sun Mar 24, 2013 9:53 am

I recently heard that bethesda was going to be bought by EA.I was very disturbed by this idea. EA's Dragon Age was a terrible series.I feel like if EA puts their hands on the elderscrolls series they will completly ruin it.EA completly dumbs games down their a great company for many games,but not for games like skyrim and such.Is there any truth to this?

Bethesda is owned by Zenimax, you don't have to worry

I hope your right!I was truly worried!

I'd hope they wouldn't be stupid enough to follow in Bioware's footsteps and sign away their creative freedom to EA. Bioware is a joke now, in my opinion. Such a insulting end to what was an amazing company.

EA and anything is a bad combo, btw. :lol:

Could you link the article where you heard it?

I can see the epic disaster now.

Like its been said Zenimax owns Bethesda and they will not sell their most prized company.

This is at the bottom of the screen

u must be kidding. Dragon age origins was the best RPG game i ever played. This statement is a total insult. I suggest you sober up before bullcrapping all these nonsense.
But DA2 was crap so if you are refering to DA2, then i agree. But if you are refering to DA origins, you should just retire from gaming.

Not to defend EA (I believe they give the whole industry a bad name) but Dragon Age Origins was a great game (though it was made quite long ago, possibly before EA went mad).

EA is the most hated video game company at the moment. If I were to troll some especially gullible and not to bright kid, this is exactly what I would tell him.

Beyond implausible.

The last three games from Bethesda have been subpar. This is because EA makes Bioware rush the game and makes them add stupid things like microtransactions and multiplayer.

Exactly. That series tanked after EA got their hands on Bioware. DA2. :down:

EA + Any game dev is a bad combo. Bethesda is owned by Zenimax though. Though I would shudder to think what EA would do to fallout and TES.

this. Sadly it seemed bethesda is going this route too. I think Skyrim was rushed because of the 11.11.11, probably not because of $$$

Multiplayer. Daedric armor costs 99 cents a piece. Gameworld is half as large

you forgot incomplete quests, whole crapload of bugs, overpriced dlcs...

Be honest, even though TES were simplified over the past couple of games, it is nowhere near as bad as the sudden plunge of quality from bioware after ME2

You don't have to worry, the CEO of EA said he's only interested in online games.

I think Skyrim was rushed because they realized too late that radiant story wouldn't make up for the lack scripted quests.

Honestly, though, I wish Beth didn't bother with FO4 and just went straight to TESVI

Yeah. A multiplayer is pretty much a given. So many DLCs. Want to become a blacksmith? $0.99. Want high tier weapons? $0.99.
