It’s been an interesting day for Electronic Arts and Bioware, with both companies releasing interviews today talking about their hopes that Anthem will learn from their respective failures. For EA, that means learning from Star Wars: Battlefront II‘s micro-transactions debacle. For B...
For Bleeding Cool‘s Best RPG of 2017, our three esteemed games judges were asked to weigh in on the best of the role playing game market to determine which was the absolute best RPG of the year. It was a pretty stiff competition that mostly came down to two games, Legend of Zelda: Breath...
Bleeding Cool is offering up our own take on Game of the Year awards this year, with all three games contributors (Madeline Ricchiuto, Gavin Sheehan, and Patrick Dane) scoring games in categories like Game of the Year, Best RPG, Best Shooter, and Best MMO. All of the scores were added up, and...
Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s launch was certainly a hot topic. The game was met with huge fan backlash, but since it has seen a lot of work. Patches have sanded off the edges, and now, what many found janky and messy, looks fairly impressive. That’s why now might be a great chance to...
Big budget, AAA games publishers like EA and Activision absolutely love micro-transactions. And from their perspective, we can’t even blame them. They’re making money hand over fist and that is exactly what they want. But that’s only in the short term. The micro-transaction...
Bioware has announced Mass Effect: Annihilation, a new novel set that expands the story of Mass Effect: Andromeda. The new novel is coming next year for those of you who did indeed enjoy the story behind Bioware’s fourth entry in the Mass Effect franchise. All twelve of us...
There were many things wrong with Mass Effect: Andromeda by the time the game shipped, but developer Manveer Heir has blamed the large share of the issues on a lack of diversity at Bioware. Which, we pretty much expected. Lack of diversity isn’t just apparent at Bioware but with about...
BioWare just announced through a brief post on the official Mass Effect website that patched for the single player and story content of Mass Effect: Andromeda has ended with the latest update, 1.10. So the game as it stands now is how it will remain. In the message signed by the whole Mass...
Mass Effect: Amdromeda is a continuous train of disappointment. The game was rushed, repetative, and riddled with odd motion capture and facial animation bugs. And now we won’t even be getting any single player expansions to make that campaign a bit less repetative. ME: Andromeda will...
In case you ever thought it was too late to succeed, Grand Theft Auto V, which released in 2013, is still one of 2017’s top selling games. Yep, GTA V sold more copies in 2017 than NBA 2K17, MLB The Show 17, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Not only is the 4 year old game still o...
YongYea is the first YouTuber to come out and show everyone just exactly what the new 1.06 patch does for Mass Effect: Andromeda and the results are interesting. In the video below he compares the old version to the new one, highlighting where Bioware took a hammer and some paint to areas that ...
EA, predictably, had a damn good year in 2016. They released their 2016 end of year results earlier this week, and it looks like Battlefield 1 took home record sales by returning to WWI. What is noticeable is that there is no mention whatsoever of Bioware’s Mass Effect: Andromeda which w...
Mass Effect: Andromeda developer BioWare, specifically their Montreal studio which made Andromeda, has put the series on hiatus, according to a report. A representative for EA sent out the following statement: Our teams at BioWare and across EA put in tremendous effort bringing Mass Effect ...
The same day they released the long awaited facial animations patch, Bioware also issued a statement dealing with the recent controversy over Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s trans character. The character in question is Hainly Abrams, a seemingly random NPC you can encounter while combing the ...
Bioware has released the details for the fifth patch to Mass Effect: Andromeda and it comes with a pretty nice collection of fixes. There are the usual bug fixes and balance patches, but nestled in the patch notes are some solid gems. Bioware has increased streaming support for those in the st...
No review found! Insert a valid review ID. Yes, I know, the facial animations are their own sort of hell, but despite that and numerous bugs, Mass Effect: Andromeda is still a pretty good game. We’re going to take this step-by-step so I can properly make my case, because the detrimental ...
From bizarre facial animations, weak gay male romance options, to your usual bugs, Mass Effect: Andromeda has had a rough launch week. Bioware has been monitoring the complaints and intends to work out aome fixes in the next few weeks. “It’s been a week since we officially launched ...
