Eh, how can anyone mention Bioware after all of their duds in recent years? Dragon Age 2, Sonic Chronicles, some bad DLC, "mass-marketing" Mass Effect (and dragon age).

Sure, they make the occasional great game but they have lost their touch. Valve, Blizzard, Naughty Dog would be my picks.

I don't understand why you don't like bioware because they made mass effect 2 a more mass market game and yet enjoy naughty dog games, which are the very definition of mass market games....

That's not really what I said though, is it? I never said I disliked Bioware. Mass Effect was an RPG, Mass Effect 2 barely was. Uncharted 1 was an action/adventure game, Uncharted 2 and 3 were action/adventure games too. The sole reason Bioware started to focus more on shooting (and "dude-bro-ing" as carl once said) was because they wanted to appeal to more people. Same thing happened with Dragon Age 2 and look how well that turned out. If they wanted to make a shooter, they should've just started a new franchise and continued with Mass Effect as an RPG franchise. "Mass-marketing" Mass Effect 2 is not my sole complaint, but I can't be bothered to go through them right now.

Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect 2 is a good game, but it was very disappointing. Don't even get me started on DA2

Your first sentence combined with all the games you listed makes it seem like you thought mass effect 2 is a dud. A dud isn't a good game that was dissappointing, a dud is a game that is a failure. Now that you clarfiied it makes sense, but initially, at least to me, it made it sound like you think mass effect 2 is terrible because it is a mass market game and then you praise a developer of mass market games.
