Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

[Roguey]

Too much generalization. ME3 has two single player DLC things with at least one more on the way, five million+ selling New Vegas had four, 10 million+ selling Skyrim has at least three.

Don't forget From Ashes and all the crappy weapon/appearance packs. Those count too.

Also, Skyrim and New Vegas have been out for how long compared to ME3?

"And I hope you won't argue that Bioware's rep isn't shot to shit,"

BIO's rep is fine. FFS

Fukkin' Codex and their internet gang are stupid. They've been talking about BIO's 'shot rep' before BIo even had a rep to shoot. the crying on the BG and BG2 iis nough said.

NWN was supposed to doom BIO as well. NWN was supposed to be forgotten the moment it came out yet the Codex still disucss it and mroe than justa mere 'rememeber that old shitty BIO' game vrap way but in the ' I just played NWN and it was worse/better than ir emember it' way. LMFAO

JE, KOTOR, ME1, DA1, Sl:RPG were all gonna be the death of BIO. BIO keeps truckin'.

I know what's going on. People repeat this bullshit so one day when BIO *does* end (and all thinsg end) say in 2020 some yahoo will brag and claim"SEE I TOLD YOU BIO'S REP WAS SHOT AND THIS IS PROOF LOLOLOL!"


P.S. NWN > ALL

 

[Jick Magger]

Remember, those people were willing to give Dragon Age II positive reviews. Bioware could probably release anything so long as it has romance options and 'deep' grey and grey morality and it'd still sell millions of copies and be named RPG of the year. Yes, the fanbase's faith was shaken with ME3's endings, but the same fanbase along with the casual audience are fickle as shit, and were thus more than willing to forgive them when the extended edition was released. People are willing to excuse ToR because it was their first foray into MMO's, and most prefer to simply forget it rather than linger on it's rather spectacular failure, and the rest stubbornly refuse to admit that the game is a thorough failure epic in scale.

EDIT: Oh, and to return OT, DA3 will suck as cRPG, despite all the (arguably) pwetty graphix it seems to have. You've read it here first.

Trying to mine KKK much?

Codex gonna codex and biodrones gonna biodrone hence the impression of Bio you may get here or on Bio social sites is not quite representative. If you take a look at some more neutral grounds it's undisputed that they received a shot in recent years. And a big one.

NWN was shit as a SP game, but great otherwise. ME was shit of a RPG, but still managed to be fairly enjoyable game due to some nice atmosphere/soundtrack and the setting. ME2 was good popamole, DA:O a decent aRPG that received a lot of praise from ones new to the genere. All of these games accomplished something and were polished products. Now DA2 and ME3 are outright shitty, rushed games.

 

[Volourn]

Look at that. Another frybaby who thinks if he spams nonsense it iwill make it true. How pathetic. how Codexian.

 

[Morgoth]

The newfag speaks the truth: DA2 and ME3 were outright shit. The new unproven Montreal team can only make ME4 shittier as far as I'm concerned.

Uhm, I simply stated my observation; if it's enough reason to hope for Bio's painful death is a different matter. Personally I don't give a fuck what happens to them. If DA3 gonna be shit, and it's gonna be shit, I simply won't buy it and carry on with my life, not necessarily awaitng the great mighty doom.

Indeed, but which one is shittier?

Trying to mine KKK much?

I don't need KKK, since I have a brain. I would rule this place, if I decided to put enough efforts into it. With a couple of others of course, since I am firm believer in democracy. Contrary to you, I was born star-material. So I will condescend to entertain you for some of my otherwise limited time. Consider yourself as priviledged, or something.

The point of my intervention in this thread was to destroy a fallacy still in its infancy stage (on these boards anyway), before it surreptitiously crept in the minds of innocent Kodex lurkers, and remained there as a nagging doubt :

quoty quoty time for those in the back that didn't pay attention

Said fallacy would have had them believe that "Gamebryo" and its (more or less publicly acknowledged) offsprings are viable modding engines, when they're in fact just horribly inbred siblings, cover-painted between each iteration to look like anew. The interface blows, the workflow is a disaster, the plugins non-existing, the official art and scripting assets suck NWN2-style, and the tools to improve the modding engine are all third-party/custom-made.

It takes an idiot a smart developper to achieve such a sneaky refactoring over time and keep selling it as the new modding deal each time, it takes an idiot to actually buy it. I could go on for pages, since I have used to work with these "engines" since TES:3 was first officially released with "Gamebryo", but this thread is neither about TES, nor about "Gamebryo", so I will stop here. Also, there is LL for all your Skyrim fapping needs.

Yes, this thread is about DA3, and our innocent lurkers that are out there in masses, watching and reading our boards with fascination, but not yet quite ready to leap into the fray for many of them, to undertake the quest of their enlightment. While even them could (for the most part) admit that DA2 was a model to be taught in world-wide game designer schools of what NOT to do, they prepare to pounce with glee on the brainchild of the *same* exact designer team, the *same* exact writer team, the *same* exact developper team, the same exact publisher and marketing team, and expect it to be something "different", something "improved", something "new". PS : Oh and don't bother countering with minor differences in the respective teams. It won't matter in the end, because AAA games are designed top-down.

Roflcakes.

Yeah, so what was my 1 line-short gibberish all *really* about then ? Our friendly lurkers, of course. It's my conviction that one day they will realize how gullible they've been, revolt against their brainwashing oppressors, and join us. That's why I have set myself the purpose to relentlessly keep educating the masses in the meanwhile.

Do not buy DA3, if you expect it to be a cRPG eventually worth your time and money. If you do decide to buy/pirate/play it however, please spare us all here your pointless whining/bickering of how terrible it actually was, despite all the hopes you've had for it. Do what all humans have been doing for milleniums : learn in adversity, and adapt. Grow strong and wise, crush the weak and ignore the fools. I don't care how DA3 could perhaps, maybe, potentially, in theory, according to photoshopped very early renders and facebooktube fanservice-gasms, considering the Mayan Armageddon is neigh, be a game good for what it is. I will never again buy a game from the people behind DA2 and ME2. Simple and sweet, a philosophy that suits me.

So let my last question be this one : what was *your point* with your oh-so awe yawn inspiring post ? proving that your intellectual prowess has recently extended beyond successfully aggregating more than 3 words in a single phrase ? No wait, did you mean to defend Dragon Cum-guzzling-during-the-first-cutscene Rage 3 ? Sharing your delirious feeling that the petition for equal right marriages between Shephawke and same-sex lolis that you secretely set up is finally getting drowned under fag-fists on the BSN ?

No, please tell me.

I might answer you, if I have the time (no promises here), and feel like it

If you don't give a fuck than why waste time spamming about it? FFS If you truly don't care back it up. When I don't care about soemthing I avoid it in all ways possible. Typical internetz. They prove they don't care by talking about it just like they prove how much a game sucks by playing it 7 times. LMFAO

You still have to finish your shift so he's not really wasting your time.

After all, a Volourn is nothing without a Codexian to LH(is)FAO at.

 

[Volourn]

I never said he was wasting my time. I said he was wasting his on a game/company he presumably 'doesn't care about'. R00fles!

I stand corrected.

But, likewise, a Codexian is nothing without a source of hate.

Its like if Fallout IV turned out to be the Promised Child - the remains of the old fallout community would have a heartattack.

Don't want to find out?

Hey man, I might wear a gimp mask but I still don't enjoy high-heels squeezing my balls.

 

[Roguey]

All right then, add Courier's Stash and Gun Runner's Arsenal to New Vegas's DLC count.

Also, Skyrim and New Vegas have been out for how long compared to ME3?

I don't see why that makes a difference. Support for ME3 is going to be running dry soon since it's already in the bargain bin and part of a "three for the price of one" package.

 

[Necroscope]

If you don't give a fuck than why waste time spamming about it?

The mere fact that I'm commenting something doesn't indicate that I have some deep feelings about it. Like walking around a park and saying, "fuck, something smells like shit"; I won't start checking bushes nor call the police.

I do care about having *good* games to play and in these terms Bioware's existence, in its current pathetic state, is indifferent.

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

I have high hopes for this AAAA+ game.

Open world like Skyrim

Art-style like The Witcher 2

Romance by BioWare

oh yeah, real high hopes...

 

[Jaesun]

I can't wait till they introduce the multi-player stuff (which EA now mandates on ALL games). This will be glorious.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

So DA3 will be a shittier version of Twitcher 2? Can't wait!

 

[racofer]

I can't wait till they introduce the multi-player stuff (which EA now mandates on ALL games). This will be glorious.

To compete against Valve and its TF2, EA will introduce random ball masks drops and craftables in DA3.

 

[Roguey]

Some people just refuse to listen to me which is so strange since I'm right more often than not, being informed and all.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Does Bioware even have the technical chops to pull off something like an open world rpg?

 

[sea]

Probably. Remember that they are part of EA and they have access to all their tech and support. The technical problems and limitations related to previous games mostly had to do with their continued use of the NWN engine.
