alanschu Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) On the plus side it seems my chances of getting a 16 month internship there is better than ever. (w00t) Edited November 3, 2005 by alanschu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> congrats. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

alanschu Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I still have to wait for their placements to open up. Though on the plus side, based on my grades and resume, Electronic Arts has requested a telephone interview with me (according to my school's internship coordinator). I wouldn't mind doing an internship at Electronic Arts either (it's in Vancouver so it'd still be an easy move for me), but the one that they are interested in for me is only an 8 month internship starting in January. I'm interested in the 16 month ones that open up in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I hate EA and anything related to it. I refuse to buy any EA game or game associated by EA. I guess that includes Pandemic and Bioware now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Yes. Former EA president is indeed connected to the swill that is EA. I haven't bought an EA developed or published game since Ultima 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 "I hate EA and anything related to it. I refuse to buy any EA game or game associated by EA" 1. Youa r egonna buy any game with a BIO logo. heck, you bought an x-box just to play JE and you "HATE" consoles. 2. EA has nothing to do with this. Nothing. Oh yeah, I used to work at x place and then bought y company, x place is involved. Hahaha. That is silly disucssion. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Plano Skywalker Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 it actually makes sense. BioWare has been focusing on the console/action RPG market of late anyway. A larger company, with improved economies of scale, can crank out alot more of that than an independent company. it's all about duplicating what works and making more money.

GhostofAnakin Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I hate agreeing with Volo, but he's right, Hades. You'll buy it. Or at the very least your "friend" will lend you a copy.

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) No, I dislike consoles and that opinion has changed due to the current generation of consoles. They have gotten better since the days of the Sega Genesis, for the most part. EA has just gotten worse and worse, and that guy was part of the problem. There is no way in hell would I support something like this. Like I said, I haven't bought a EA title since U9 and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

Volourn Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 "it actually makes sense. BioWare has been focusing on the console/action RPG market of late anyway." This statement is awesome. BIO is focusing on action/console RPGs yet tehir prime game in development is DA for the PC which is a party based RPG. Not to mention their continued support of NWN a PC RPG. Yeah, keep posting. I need a laugh. You sound just like the whiners on the JE, and ME boards. :D DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JE franchise and, I suspect, the ME franchise, will be alot of fun even if they are action-RPGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Think on this, Volourn. There recent titles have been one released PC only game, a cross platform game, 1 console only game. Now they only have one console only game they just announced and one PC game they announced so early that it feels like Duke Nukem Forever.
