dragon age 3 will suck

"We have been told that they are now pushing harder to reach the 2013 deadline and not to overlap with The Witcher 3 2014 release."

Because EA wants to rush it just like Dragon Age 2, and we all know how wonderfully that worked out.

Why not just work on your game with care and delicacy and do your best to make an amazing game. Make people want to buy it because it's a genuinely high quality product, and not because there are no other options.

EA will be he death of BioWare. Seriously.

 

Or you know we could wait to see the final product before speculating quality?

Then again, by that point, most people will have already said that it's so bad, no one will buy it and people who have never played it or don't know much about it will instantly rate it terribly.

Because many gamers are looking to complain at anything, seriously. ANYTHING.

 

This guy knows what's up.

 

Also, played Witcher for about 6 hours and it was so choppy and meh, I didn't really get the hype? Maybe 2 is better, I'll get that if I can get it dirt cheap.

ALSO, I agree, Bioware is dying primarily from EA. I literally hate what EA has done since they took over Bioware.

 

You can't really speculate the quality of a final product. At that point you can just make an educated decision. I'm not making my judgement yet, but I am worried now. EA made BioWare rush DA2 and it was obvious. I still enjoy the game for what it is, but there are so many things wrong with that I feel would have been better had the game been handled with care.

The first Witcher game is really hit or miss for a lot of people. Personally, I didn't like it much. It was pretty bad. The sequel, however, was amazing and such an overwhelming improvement over the original. I almost couldn't believe it was made by he same developers.

 

I've gotta be one of a handful of people who thought DA2 to be great and as good as the first. I don't really get what people see wrong with it, or I have forgotten most of their problems, but I found it to be great story, with great characters, fun gameplay, lovely style. It's not perfect but, like ME3, it doesn't deserve all the gripe people give it for a departure to the original.

 

It's not a disaster piece like some make it out to be, but it was disappointing to me in a lot of ways. One of the obvious flaws is the continuous reuse of locations like the caves. Ugh.
Another MAJOR flaw was, your choices honestly didn't matter. The end result was still the same no matter who you sided with. Orsino and Meredith still go batshiz crazy.
They took away the ability to customize your party. I understand their reasoning but it was still annoying.
They locked your character a human. No more race options. This pissed me off greatly.

I haven't played in a while but these are some of the problems I remember bothering me the most. That being said, it does have great characters and it was really nice not having to agree with everything they said to develop a romance with them. The fast gameplay was a big improvement to the MMO-esque battle system in Origin. That reminds me, I kinda hate how the enemies come at you in waves instead being carefully laid out and having a nice big battle. It really made some the strategic options pointless.

 

That was incredibly annoying at times. But it wasn't enough to ruin the sense of what was going on, thankfully

That's every games with choice though, ends up the same just with some main differences. DA:O only had 3 distinct endings directly affecting the MC, you die, your companion dies instead, neither of you die and you can pick the person to be ruler of Ferelden. The rest is minor stuff that doesn't affect the canon.
Fallout 3 had 3 endings, purify the water, purify it with FEV virus or let someone else do it for you.
Even Fallout: NV which had tons of options basically ended with nothing majorly changing, you fight at Hoover Dam one way or the other, just one faction is a bit more stronger then the other.

It's the way a choice based game is designed. Look on youtube you can see a few arguments why the 'terrible' endings in most games choice based.

That was annoying, but ultimately found it to make Hawke come alive, felt more like an actual character as a result. I'm going to remember the journey of Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall more so then Nameless, Hero of Ferelden.
I do miss the roleplaying actions of it though.

I dunno if you played it on the hardest difficulty, but the use of paused strategic party plan of attacks and so forth really made it a more strategic affair of a game. Co-ordination is key to get through it.

 

Maybe not, but it was very lazy and it honestly hindered my experience. I would go off on a new quest only to find the same damn cave 4 times in a row. It gets boring and leaves a lot to be desired.

It's not all about the MC though. All those games you listed had more than one distinct ending, and they all had epilogues that explained how your decisions and choices shaped the world after the fact. That's a lot more than what can be said for DA2. DA2 took your decisions and threw them out the window and gave you one ending. There wasn't even an epilogue. Hell, decisions you could make in DA:O could result in a party member dying or leaving.

I honestly disagree with this. A lot of Hawke's responses and such are a mere sentence because of the cost of voice acting. Everything is paraphrased and you get very few options in terms of what to say. It's not worth forcing us to be a human, especially when they could still easily kept the same voice for each race. I doubt it would have been a big deal... If it was, it could have been rectified with a little audio editing.

That's true, but I still don't like the 'enemies drop from the sky and come in waves' thing. I prefer being able to scout out the location and devise a plan, then strike accordingly.

I hold some hope Dragon Age 3 will be a good game. I loved the first one, second one I felt was more then a little lackluster.

Though when has rushing a game ever been anything but an omen of bad news? It always seems that EA is the one at fault for this stuff happening when we see their now dreaded company logo appear. You can basicly sum up any gaming studio owned by EA as this:

"X was a great gaming company that made great games. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked EA happened."

 

I lost hope in most Bioware games after they got bought by EA, ever since than their games have suffered a lot (Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 3).
And seeing as how Dragon Age II was one of the worst RPG's I've ever played I have no interest in picking Dragon Age III, Bioware was just lucky that I picked up Mass Effect 3 and had mixed feelings about it, but I still consider it one of the top 10 blunder's of the century.
Overall in a nutshell I'm just going to say this, EA is evil and the Witcher 3 will be amazing, if none of you have played Witcher 1 or 2 I will say this, play them now they're amazing.
