This isn't a 1 year dev cycle by the C Team. This is a 3+ year dev cycle by the team who made DA:O.

Ya bitches!

Dragon Age: Inquisition not only feels like a fully fledged role-playing adventure, but it's also packed with fun things to do that will keep you busy for weeks. Having played well over 100 hours, I'm still finding things to do, working on my multiplayer characters, and plotting another playthrough to handle things a bit differently. Inquisition is a triumph and proves that despite some missteps along the way, BioWare hasn't lost its touch.

Are video game review threads more fun than playing video games?

Think about it.

They're more fun than playing the vast majority of today's videogame output, yes.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

From Kotaku:

First things first: If you're reading this, you're probably wondering if Dragon Age: Inquisition is any good. Well, is it? Yes, it is good. Fantastic, even. Is it better than Dragon Age 2? Yes, and in fact it feels like a borderline-hilarious overcorrection for every single one of that game's faults. Is it better than Dragon Age: Origins? That's probably more up for debate, but I'd say I prefer it. Short version: This game is pretty awesome. People are gonna love it.

Review for PC version. Only complaint is somewhat long load times.

[AllenShrz]

I thought it was just a few outlets who gave it good reviews & everyone else shat on it.

Oh no! Not in the first week! but soon after we learned by ourselves and the word got out... for me it was too late........... I still have nightmares of DA2.

 

[Blablurn]

That's a good start

 

[Violet_0]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

Unity

DA:I will probably be the better game because AC is a borefest

How did that pile of garbage get 82?

The better question is, "How did a decent game like that end up so reviled by GAF?"

 

[Amir0x]

I am getting excited for this game, it's my other big AAA game for the holiday season alongside GTAV on PS4

Yay, wen need great RPGs.

This isn't a 1 year dev cycle by the C Team. This is a 3+ year dev cycle by the team who made DA:O.

That's true, but when the difference between a hot mess (DA2) and a pretty good WRPG (DAO) is merely 9 points it's worth considering before buying a game day 1.

The better question is, "How did a decent game like that end up so reviled by GAF?"

lol stahp, we don't need to do this here. It's okay to have fun with bad games.

The better question is, "How did a decent game like that end up so reviled by GAF?"

very true, game is nowhere near as bad as its painted, but ok

 

[MaddenNFL64]

The better question is, "How did a decent game like that end up so reviled by GAF?"

It was pretty mediocre. I liked it because more dragon age, but damn did I see the same fucking cave over & over.

edit: oh and woohoo! HYPE! More reviews!

UH OH GUYS

Dragon Age: Inquisition treats its characters with great respect; Iron Bull's description of sex among the Qunari is as honest as his admiration of a transgender mercenary is honorable.

POLITICS IN A REVIEW, YOU KNOW WHO IS COMING

"Weak plot" WTF?

 

[Toki767]

90 metacritic I bet. Maybe an 88 or 89.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Be still my heart (Kotaku):

It's difficult to talk about the scale of Dragon Age: Inquisition without A) getting hyperbolic and B) invoking Skyrim. This game is massive. It's broken into separate regions which are unlocked as you go and can be visited from the game's world map. The first area you unlock, The Hinterlands, is so large that I spent the first four or five hours thinking it'd be the main area of the game.

Nope. Turns out, there are seven (!!) other comparable regions in the game (plus several other smaller ones), and each one is different from the others. There's a sprawling desert, a lush Elven forest, a rain-battered coastline, war-torn plains, a haunted swamp, a mysterious oasis, and more. You're free to explore as you wish in between the more constrained, scripted story missions.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

8.8 from ign, I can't link from the app though.

I'll take it. More hype!

 

[Odrion]

Seems promising, but I'm going to wait for Biogirl's review before doing anything.

 

[Xenocthul]

I'm predicting 86 on Metacritic.

The better question is, "How did a decent game like that end up so reviled by GAF?"

Hype backlash I'd assume.

 

[Lemondish]

From Polygon's 9.5/10 score:

I don't know what higher praise I could give.

..how about an extra .5 points?

 

[Coffee Dog]

"Weak plot" WTF?

What's WTF about this? It's a bioware game. Their last three (ME2, DA2, ME3) have had awful main plots.

 

[Hristi]
