are there ANY bioware rpgs that are bad

[The Root Beer Guy]

No. I would say that their worst game is probably Neverwinter Nights, but that is only because the story is fairly weak and it's most fun when played cooperatively. I also say no because I'm a massive Bioware fanboy.

Jade empire for me, I hated almost everything about it. The storyline was really boring, so boring that not even the moral choice system could drag me through.

The combat was the worst, but I don't know how to explain it. It basically feels robotic...if you've never played it, think of how smooth the combat is in arkham asylum, now picture the complete opposite and you have jade empire.

 

[Crimsonshadow66]

Most of the recent ones have been bad but I LOVED Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate.

 

[tmdude]

to be honest pretty much none. I'm a Mass Effect fanboy, seriously Mass Effect is likely my best game ever and every Bioware RPG i've played i liked.

 

[Killercheesepuff]

I didnt really like KOTOR but i suppose thats from me playing it for the first time in 2010. And i didnt like Mass Effect 2 as much as I liked Mass Effect 1 but I still thought it was a good game.

 

[Terezar]

I am a huge bioware fan, but being gamer first and fanboy second I can admit when bioware does something poorly

Neverwinter nights sucked, big time. I was expecting a 3D baldurs gate, not a MMORPG, and a BAD MMORPG at that.

Also, can't say I cared for either mass effect to be perfectly honest, though the first one was better then the second one by far.

Definitely a fan of dragon age origins, though awakenings left a lot to be desired.

Also, Jade empire was one of the best games I have ever played and they need to make a sequal, no question.

 

[Seydaman]

In my opinion, and I am very much in the minority, KotoR.

How in the world
Please explain your reasoning seriously
I love that game

I didn't really enjoy Mass Effect 2, it was very bland and linear, and didn't make use of a lot of things like the broken down Reaper, all we figured out from going there was that they had a glowy reactor in the center... fun.

Right, because finding Legion was completely predictable and didn't teach us anything about the universe. /sarcasm
OT: I haven't played a Bioware game I haven't fallen in love with. However, I've only played the Mass Effect series and the KOTOR series, so...

 

[Blue Musician]

I actually never enjoyed any BioWare's RPG, so you can guess what I would answer...

 

[Blue Musician]

have they made any good rpg's yet?
To me Gameplay is the most important aspect of a game. Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft are the only ones so far that i have liked, Borderlands was ok but it is not rly a RPG (well maybe RPG Lite or something). Two Worlds was also good. Morrowind is on my top 10 games list but only with a lot of mods.

Dragon age was sooooo boring, some of the conversation among the party was good but the game was hardly worth it only for that, Mass Effect while enjoyable once i couldnt stand having to play again also the side quests in that game where horrible. Kotor meh i couldnt even make myself finish it, NWN 1+2 where ok but never pulled me in.

I actually haven't liked most RPGs, but I want to suggest you play Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines and System Shock 2.

 

[migo]

I hate morrowind. I hate Icewind Dale. I hate oblivion. I hate Dragon Age. I had mild distatse for the KoTR series, mainly because of the shitty ending. I liked Neverwinter Nights. I hated NWN 2. Love Mass Effect 1&2. Love the Baulders Gate Stuff.

It's all a matter of opinion really. so ... Go play all of them and form your own.

Morrowind and Oblivion are Bethesda not BioWare.

 

[WorldCritic]

Well I haven't played Sonic Chronicles so I can't say anything about that one. Besides that was Mass Effect Galaxy an RPG? If it wasn't then I guess they haven't made any bad RPGs.

 

[TylerC]

All of them. All of them are bad. Just that they are enjoyable enough that we overlook the bad for the good.

If a game is fun enough it can progress past its bad points purely on its fun factor alone.

Care to explain what plagues all of their games?

I haven't played all of BioWare's games, but the ones I have like KoToR and Mass Effect I/II I've really enjoyed.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Dragon Age. Why? When the last 10 hours of the game actually required me to listen to metal, have Lords of Dogtown on, and/or watch the X-Games while playing just to get through it, it isn't a good game, more of a chore... I'll admit I was hooked for the first 20 hours (well first 2 sucked ass), but after that I realized just how bland and boring it was. The lame "click on enemy, wait for character to finish killing them, click on next", but even that was bad since the AI were constantly in my way. And the stupid ass goblins, trolls, and elves fairy shit. Not to mention that with the name being Dragon Age I'd thought I'd see a dragon, you know, before 30 hours of game time (and no I don't count the little dreams or whatever)...

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Here's the thing. Asking here you'll get several opinions. Base it on their sales and reviews over the last decade. Pretty damn good. They are definitely in the top 5 for best game developers around.

Now in my opinion? No, every game has been a blast for me.

Basically, this. The only time Bioware has ever disappointed me is with DA: Awakenings. Other than that, Bioware still remains my #1 video gaming company. Blizzard coming in second due to SC2 and the Diablo series.
