[lowhighkang_LHK]

I dont get this game. Is it a spin off? Or a direct sequel to da 2. Does it have a main story?

 

[hemtae]

Well I have no idea whether this game is big like Skyrim/Xenoblade or big like Baldur's Gate 2 since nobody is willing to mention Baldur's Gate even in any blurb about combat. Blargh.

 

[exmachina64]

Is it just me or does that score and summary completely differ from the rest of the article, especially the final paragraph?

I concur.

 

[Hristi]

Have you even played the first two games? Of course it has a main story.

 

[Jira]

Game reviewers typically review on the easiest settings, especially lengthy games since they're strapped for time. It wouldn't surprise me if they played on easy or normal.

 

[Corpekata]

I dont get this game. Is it a spin off? Or a direct sequel to da 2. Does it have a main story?

It's DA 3.

 

[Ushojax]

I'll be waiting for the GAF impressions before buying. No way I'm getting suckered again. Mass Effect 3 got good reviews but it was a complete piece of shit.

 

[Realyn]

For the record, I don't care about scores at all. That said, I don't understand the 8/9's instead of 10's in mass like Bayonetta. Watched the Gamespot and read the destructoid review. They have nothing negative to say aside "Characters popping in here and there" but give it a relativly "low" score for a AAA game? Seems quite strange to me. If you have problems with the game, please tell me in your review.

It's a sequel to DA 2. Yes it has a main story.

 

[CastleBravo]

Kreygasm

 

[TechnicPuppet]

So game of the generation?

 

[plasmawave]

When are we getting the AC Unity reviews?

 

[Basileus777]

That Eurogamer review is really raising flags on a lot of the things I was most concerned about.

 

[Surface of Me]

Might get this for Xmas if turns good, might just wait till W3 though.

 

[adj_noun]

I dont get this game. Is it a spin off? Or a direct sequel to da 2. Does it have a main story?

It's the next game in the Dragon Age series, a sequel to the previous two with a different main character. Your choices in the previous games carry over a la Mass Effect.

Yes, it has a main story.

 

[HarryHengst]

I dont get this game. Is it a spin off? Or a direct sequel to da 2. Does it have a main story?

Its a singleplayer MMORPG with Allo Allo accents.

 

[Abylim]

Its great its reviewing so well, but so did Dragon Age 2.

I'm waiting for Gaf impressions

After two disparate entries with different philosophies, Dragon Age’s identity crisis is over. With a mixture of open-world exploration, entertaining combat, and top-tier characters, the team at BioWare has found a winning formula that isn’t shackled to either Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II. Inquisition is not defined by the traditions it returns to, but by the new directions it forges for this magnificent fantasy universe.

 

[oti]

So game of the generation?

That would be Mario Party 10.

 

[Corpekata]

My decision to preorder at Mexican Origin has paid off it seems.

 

[Dahbomb]

I dont get this game. Is it a spin off? Or a direct sequel to da 2. Does it have a main story?

It's basically DA 3.

 

[TI82]

Ive never played the others but have seen gameplay. First seems like a tactical RPG, second is action is this a mix of the two?

 

[DirtyManos]

Oh god I've been dying for a massive wrpg game like this for a few years now.

Can't fucking wait to dive back in, only memories of Origins now, memory wiped clean of 2.

 

[cheezcake]

I'll be waiting for the GAF impressions before buying. No way I'm getting suckered again. Mass Effect 3 got good reviews but it was a complete piece of shit.

Pretty much, ME3 metacritic - 93.

 

[Renekton]

Its great its reviewing so well, but so di Dragon Age 2.

I'm waiting for Gaf impressions

You can play one day and refund for free with Origin.

Don't trust us, we are a confused bunch!

Pretty much, ME3 metacritic - 93.

And it was good, especially MP, except for the unpatched ending

 

[Coffee Dog]

Thank you based Eurogamer for actually pointing out some problems with the game. Collect ten bear asses is never fun, it's just filler content.

 

[RedAssedApe]

It's the next game in the Dragon Age series, a sequel to the previous two with a different main character. Your choices in the previous games carry over a la Mass Effect.

Yes, it has a main story.

How do saves transfer from last gen? I played dao but not 2

 

[MaddenNFL64]

That Eurogamer review is really raising flags on a lot of the things I was most concerned about.

Total sum is an 8, so I would take the complaints with that in mind. They still thought it was a great game.

 

[Jack cw]

What a time to be alive.

Gaming isn't dead apparently.

 

[ezekial45]

Ok, this game looks great.

 

[NegativeCero]

PS4 preload ready. Next Tuesday, it begins.

 

[Lakitu]

Looking good, paying off my pre-order very soon. Can't wait!

 

[CastleBravo]

Witcher 3 has met its match... or has it?

 

[HowZatOZ]

AusGamers - 9.2

 

[adamsapple]

Thread subscribed .. here's hoping for greatness

Either way .. Bioware, you've got my money.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Ugh.

lol

I'll be waiting for the GAF impressions before buying. No way I'm getting suckered again. Mass Effect 3 got good reviews but it was a complete piece of shit.

Most people didn't even start nitpicking the writing throughout the game until after they got to the finala act and saw the ending. So you might be waiting a while

 

[adj_noun]

How do saves transfer from last gen? I played dao but not 2

Via the Dragon Age Keep. You can make all your choices from there, even for games you haven't played. Saves don't actually transfer.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Pretty much, ME3 metacritic - 93.

But the game wasn't a complete piece of shit, people just lost their shit at #3colorgate.

The game was fantastic.

 

[jfoul]

I'm so happy this game is getting really good reviews. I'm like the N64 kid right now.

 

[veggiesaurus]

any last-gen reviews yet?

 

[truestatic]

How do saves transfer from last gen? I played dao but not 2

Make your own save state at the Dragon Age Keep.

 

[Abylim]

Don't trust us, we are a confused bunch!

In Australia here, I can return my game after 10 days even.

I am most likely grabbing it, but am interested to see what people think here.
The vast majority seem to align with my tastes!

 

[Coffee Dog]

Witcher 3 has met its match... or has it?

With Bioware's writers? Don't even joke.

 

[Seanspeed]

Great exploration? Check.

That's all I need, thanks.

 

[McDougles]

Is it just me or does that score and summary completely differ from the rest of the article, especially the final paragraph?

If you want to get into Tinfoil-GAF territory...

 

[toddhunter]

Eurogamer:

By default fights are much like Dragon Age 2's pausable action, with other party members controlled by basic scripts. ..... It's also possible to zoom out to a tactical view as in Origins and play from afar. In practice though, everyone moves around far too much and too quickly, with mages especially just spamming endless pyrotechnic attacks limited only by a slight cooldown. There were many exciting battles on the main story, but none I could say were tactically very interesting, and none of them against one of the oddly unimaginative damage-sponge bosses

That was pretty much what I was looking for and... oh well.

Sounds like this is about as AAA as it gets really.
