Wonder when the console DF video comes out. Too bad they cant test the Pro yet.

Probably later today/tomorrow. If they do it like they did with PS4 pro they will probably review it in a batch with a bunch of other games.

Does EA play pro on PC let you preload this? when does this unlock? midnight?

You can't preload it with the subscription. It unlocks noon tomorrow EST I think.

I'm primarily in it to finish the Solas story.

Though reading some previews that he kinda takes a back seat is a real bummer. They set him up as the main antagonist in the last one, would be a weird design choice not to follow up on that.

I mean this is “Weird Design Choice” The Game!

One of the better OT titles Ive seen in awhile

Will be curious to see how many pages the thread goes on for

clarky · 2024-10-30T14:47:52+0000

Solid OT and title

cormack12 bravo and thanks.

Most of the reviews are positive, but they’re obviously all paid shills.

SkillUp’s negative review is the only one that’s the truth.

That's the way it always goes with controversial games that get highish scores isn't it? The handful of reviews that reinforce preconceived beliefs are always held up as a uncontroversial fact. SkillUp is this case happens to fall under that category despite having some reviews in the past that most here would disagree with, and never even having played most of the previous Dragon Age games.

Come on man, that is quite obviously bullshit.

If From made this artstyle, they'd be eating their ass like a hungry dog. Theres a ton of colorful jrpgs that gaf loves, but oh no, Bioware made a game colorful, ITS BAD!

You’re completely right about that, honestly, though the issue is that the art style here is so tonally inconsistent with the franchise and doesn’t really fit a game series that tends to take itself pretty seriously.

I subjectively think it’s also pretty ugly - at least the character designs - but I think there are issues beyond mere taste at play here.

It's not really inconsistent with the franchise. The issue people have is that it's not like the first and a crpg anymore, but every dragon age game looked completely different than the previous one. Everyone hated DA2 and how "actiony" and boring it looked. Then they made Inquisition colorful and varied. Now it's on par with Inquisition, except for the Qunari which I do agree, look like utter garbage, but one race won't stop me from hopefully enjoying the game. I might hate it, im not just blindly buying it and playing it like a lot of hardcore fanboys on gaf do when it comes to their favorite franchises. Every single game I loved has been heavily criticized by me.

I'll get this eventually on a sale, I'm still invested in the dreadwolf storyline.

Same, I wouldn't buy a game in general this close to the holidays/black Friday

I got origins less than a month after it came out for 30 bucks

SF Kosmo · 2024-10-30T20:42:50+0000

Frankly surprised this is getting pretty good reviews, I just got a bad vibe from how sloppy the marketing has been. I'm not really invested in this series so it's the kind of game I might get around to eventually.

EA heavily filtered who had access to pre-release code for reviews. Don't expect the metascore to stay as it is after launch.

The guideline discourages comparisons with games such as God of War and explicitly warns against any comparison with other titles, threatening legal action if this is ignored. That's pretty unusual.

Love that Colin called him out. I wish some people would stop taking anything Grummz says as gospel. The guy is an absolute fool that's just clamoring for attention.

Really interested in seeing how user reviews go for this game. Hopefully they're earnest reviews, but I can't help but think the majority won't be.

TheInfamousKira · 2024-10-30T20:54:28+0000

I said I wasn't gonna troll the OT, so I'll just say congrats to the eager fans, I hope all four of xem have a great time.

...but not too great!

People like that were always going to show their hand when monetisation came into effect.

YouTube and its viewers normalised it years ago.
