If you are thinking of buying this game, you owe it to yourself to check out the Skill Up review. I watched a part of it and it is clear Bioware has lost almost all talent. The characters do look awful and expressionless. To think some reviewers gave this a 10/10. That disqualifies them from being a reviewer. The more I look at this, the more it looks like a whole different game that was reskinned to be Dragon Age at the 11th hour.

Same as reviewers that gave Hogwarts a 4/10 or worse. Regardless of your opinion on Rowling or the HP Universe, the game is very competently made, ran decently, and solid mechanics.

The 1 star review from Wired was the most embarrassing video game review I've seen in my 36 years on this planet. I will never read anything they publish again.

Have to say.....usually I have to wait a while for new releases to get shipped because I don't pay extra to lock in these games so....a bit surprised.

GF has been really good about shipping stuff not locked last couple of months. They've upped their stock quantities I guess, business must be doing well for them.

That's good to hear. It is a great service.

I didn't have the new Life is Strange locked and they shipped it to me a day before its release date.

Meanwhile people are getting emails from Amazon that their games are being delayed to 1st or 2nd week of November.

What a twist.

lol I remember Dead or Alive on 360 had an achievement for losing without doing any damage to your opponent. It was worth 0 points.

Nowhere near the level of shame of "help the old white guy understand that other people may love dragons just as much as he loves books" achievement though.
 
So only those who gave glowing preview comments were given review codes. So all early reviews are highly biased towards a high score. So the metacritic score is only going to go down from here.
 
Imagine fire up this game after a long work week to immerse yourself in fantasy dragon age world, just to be violently pulled right back out with those horse shit dialogues.
The devs are right, this game was only made for "modern audiences", folks with normal state of mind should stay away at all cost.
 
Cats tend to retain some kitten behavior in adulthood when raised in safety by humans. The writing here is so childlike I can't help but think the devs have not matured similarly.
It's honestly bizarre how this is supposed to be mature but has lessons on eating fruit instead of cookies.
 
Was it discussed why Fextralife was given fake reassurances he will get the review code and later was lied to by EA and Bioware even though his criticism was extremely mild?

Almost certainly BS. Matty is just a subcontractor of LSM so they wouldn't be party to it. Colin would never approve of that agreement in any case.

Yeah and MrMattyPlays is his own thing. Not tied to LSM ... At least as far as I'm aware.

Also : the term "blacklist" would never been used in this document. That's another one of those words that is deemed "problematic".

Colin flat out said it was fake, and his name was on the fake document Mark Kern created.

Once again, reading comprehensions is not your strong suit lately. You are unable to parse the direction I was going with my reply.

I am not disputing it's validity, in fact, I am agreeing with how fake it is. Crazy that had to actually be explained.

The whole "return to form" thing seems overblown to me. It's a pretty common phrase and I could totally see how this game would appeal to a lot of current gaming journos.
If anything it's more of an example of how standardized writing in modern reviews has become than some big conspiracy.

Either way just watched the Skill Up review and the story part alone is enough for me to skip the game. Like I suspected it seems like that first original trailer was more reflective of the overall tone and writing style of the game, every newer trailer has basically just been them reaction to the feedback they got from that original reveal and desperately trying to attempt to make it seem darker and more epic than it is.
 
Just saw a video where the guy had a theory that if a channel was very critical of games like Concord or Suicide Squad, you didn't get a code.

I mean it makes sense. The suits at EA are not morons. They know the prog 'game journalists' who work at legacy media would clap like seals at the kind of dialogue that's been leaked. Just look at IGN's review for exhibit a.
