Origins on console is a much different game in terms of combat than on PC

they aren't even in the same ballpark

orgins is a console take on RTWP

demon''s souls is an action adventure game or ARPG if we're being generous

many developers were sacred cows like fromsoft is right now their fall will also come sooner rather than later
Horse shit. They don't diversity hire.
maybe they should hire some non japanese people, fromsoft is making the same game over and over again for the past decade and people will get sick of it eventually for now they were wow'd by the ubisoft-like openworld but how long till that wears off

Elden Ring is their most successful game. Anything with a functioning brain knows it's not their best game. FS is going no where.

Ballsackski just needs to calm his tits. DA:O is not a great game. I don't feel like I disrespected it. I can see why some people enjoy it. The developer is worthless.
I enjoyed it at one point in time but nowadays I feel like DAO just can't be defended. It came during a drought but almost everything it did paved the way for the shit to come from the genre.

Only in the same sense that all RPGs are the same game being made over and over again. Yes I'm sure you see some great difference between GURPS and D&D alpha version 7.3. That means as much to me as the differences between Dark Souls and Elden Ring do to you.

No, it's a retard shit taste Biofaggot take on RTw/P. Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (This game predates even the original Baldur's Gate) and Final Fantasy 12 are genuine console takes on RTw/P many years prior, and I'd play them all over Bioware brainrot and degeneracy any day. Even Final Faggotry 12, which is a bit of a mess.

I agree, it's getting too samey like the ubisoft open world archaeological stratum, therefore they should hire people who are more like the creators of the ubisoft open world archaeological stratum.

assassin Krell was single father archetype
I thought the character was a bit suspicious, with all those young boys he befriended and exploited in the slum. He was also dying from a rare disease...

A similar example of dubious Bioware writing is the Ardat-Yakshi in ME3, where these are portrayed as innocent young women that self-isolate in a monastery to protect others from harm, doing nothing worse than watching naughty movies in secret. It takes Reaper indoctrination to awaken their dark side, and even then they resist heroically until the end.

Asari are the Elves of Mass Effect, a mary sue race given undue plot importance.

Near immortal and highly advanced, yet they pole dance. Go figure.

Even when they have a millenium long life span, women can't help but being hoes.

They literally have a hoe phase that lasts centuries written in lore, until they become "Matriarchs". Definitely the writers favourite child, until ME3 and the human dick sucking of course.

As for near immortal, that definitely seems like more of a Krogan thing. They don't have a lifespan, at least it was never touched upon but those guys get as old as Asari. The only difference is they kill eachother all the time you don't get to see many old ones.

Definitely the pet race like DA's Elves but much more of a blatant fetish insert. Liara is also blatantly Space Leliana.
