okay..

I just don't know how to react on those kind of tweets. Should I be envious or pissed off that he plays and I can't? Or I should be happy that the game is so "Ambitious. Beautiful. Fresh and recognizable." This doesn't make any sense, there is no useful info here.

That statement is just dripping with majestic dishonesty. To Flynn, ME4 is obviously just a mega software project that his EA "career" hangs on, plus all the usual blood sweat and tears of crunchy office work in a company of 300+. If he was a new hire in QA his 'great time' sentiment might be plausible. Anyone that thinks that as studio head he can suspend disbelief (and have "fun") on something he works on day in day out, is ... dumb enough to buy ME4.

By the way, wasn't Flynn the guy that was in the middle of that tweet exchange with the MS Xbone director that went something along the lines of "it's always online - deal with it"?

Well, he's based in Edmonton so traveling to Montreal meeting people he's usually not around much - seeing their work - might be actually refreshing... Flynn used to be a lead programmer since the beginning of Bioware so I kind of have more respect for him/his opinion than in case of other GMs... He actually could have something valuable to say after reviewing a game build other than "need moar wow moments guyz!".

I initially loved the sound of a more personal storyline that's less about saving the world. Then I played the game.

That's what they should go back to for Mass Effect 4: a Spectre and his team of Interspecies (Wo)Men of Mystery against an evil terrorist dude.

Sort of like James Bond, except that you can bone alien instead of human women. And it's IN SPACE.

Funnily enough, that's what they marketed it as. For ME2/3. Really only ME1 was like that. Shit bioware, get it together.

"Fresh but recognizable" = not saying anything at all.

 

[BGMD]

AAA speak

recognizable = same ol'
fresh = moar grafix

If he said and instead of but I would at least be sure he's talking about a corpse.

 

[Xor]

ME4 can't be anywhere near completed; they haven't started marketing it at all. As for Mr. Flynn, he's clearly trying to earn brownie points with his superiors by talking up the games he's given to work on.

Great time playing [insert upcoming AAA game]. Ambitious. Beautiful. Fresh but recognizable. And fun!

i think by now, everyone employed by these companies are required to have a twitter and hand out the keys to the PR department. It's what i would do, if i was a evil corporate drone.

Bioware should instead put more money into good community managers instead of hiring the Imperial Inquisition and telling them their games are to be treated as the word of the Gaider-Emperor of Mankind.

Damage control is really bad with them.

I still hope for an open world (or universe) Mass Effect game where you start as a normal low life citizen. Kind of like Skyrim in space....

I give it five days before there's a mod that allows you to fuck everything.

The mod won't be necessary

It will. In the base game you would just be able to fuck most things, not all of them.

Must have taken nullspeak lessons from the most talented potato politicians.

This kind of tweet is clearly aimed at the fanboys, not the cynical RPG community.

Nothing related to triple a is ever aimed at the cynical rpg community. Except hubris and anger.
