I love BioWare games. This was hyped so much. The teasers looked great. The actual game was so much nothing. I am still in awe of how bad it was. I still wonder if it couldn't have been made into something good with more time and money. It had a lot of foundation that would have been a decent platform for a real game. In short, I agree with you so much.

All PS slims were redesigned, PS3 even went through 2 major variations and since PS5 is similar in size and ugliness to the PS3 fat, I'm expecting a similar grade of change in both dimensions and aesthetic. I've always been a Sony fanboy but PS5 being both hideous and hard to find convinced me to wait.

Dude I worked in this field and still have plenty of colleagues currently in game development. Companies have way more staff, WAY way more overhead and take on a lot more risk than 20 years ago. This more than justifies the prices. Sure, some companies sell a lot more and create record profits but all it takes is one game that flops that can throw a developer close to bankruptcy. It's very similar in the movie world too these days.

I started off reading this with the mindset of "I haven't played 3, but have played the previous titles so let's see what's up." Once you mentioned the twins I remembered that I have, in fact, played BL3, and I think that about sums up my thoughts and feelings on the game.
