Laidlaw wanted to make it clear that everything they’ve said are just ideas for Dragon Age 3. Obviously Laidlaw is playing it safe and watches how he words things, but we can pretty much say that the following three features will be the foundations of Dragon Age 3."
R.I.P, Bioware. Yet another victim of EA.
It is obviously because EA is greedy and only wants you to buy their DLC and not get community mods for free. Origins was miles better because of mods. If they are smart, they will do what Bethesda does and make more money in the long run by having their game prolonged by the community.
You should join the rest of the complainers in the Dark Souls articles.
"one of Bioware's old managers said that with the reception of Mass Effect 2, Bioware was moving in a new direction to make more action orientated, cinematic games that rely more on big cutscenes and simpler controls to keep things flowing. Dragon Age was in development for quite some time and was a bit of a side project for them with a core group of the old, Baldur's Gate guys chipping away at it while DA2 didn't have that team.
He thought Mass Effect 2 was Bioware's best game to date (this was last fall) but he didn't agree with the action/cinematic approach. He was more old school (his company, Beamdog, is the one remaking Baldur's gate right now). "
And i bet you think dragon age 2 was awesome too. Dragon age 2 was a total turd sandwich and you took a big bite and smiled.
Now Dragon Age 2... terrible. There is nothing redeeming about it. They killed everything that made Origins great. The writing is poor, areas are reused sooooo many times, the gameplay is nothing like Origins and was simplified beyond belief. If people are going to hate on Bioware, then use what they've done to Dragon Age as an example, because they deserve every bit of hate for that.
Im not ready to jump on the hate wagon just yet besides Dragon Ages 3 from what I've seen and hurd it sound great sofar, I'm really looking forward to it. Yet I still want to see some gameplay footage befor I make up my mind.
CD Projekt RED is better than bioware.
They haven't really delivered even once--it's just that their failures to deliver have gotten ~worse.~
Personally, I blame gamers: we're the ones who let Bioware get away with it for so long.
Thankfully, the internet posters don't represent the bulk of gamers who are echoing critics sentiments and clearly speaking with their wallets. Bioware remains at the top of their game and continues to put out great product.
And personally, I could care less about "choice" in videogames. It's no different than a choose your own adventure novel with a limited number of paths. I couldn't care less if a different choice I made took me down a different path. The outcome still isn't controlled by me, it's controlled by whoever wrote the script. Choice in videogames is an illusion.
i'm not even mad at them , i never believed the choices would make any important an lasting impact after the way they handled it in me2 . I was only vested in Me3 as usual , expecting just a pleasant sci-fi action rpg ride .
If you do remember choosing the council , among many other things , meant nothing when your dealing with them were ultra limited , as you were shipped elsewhere for the whole game .
I certainly hope this bussines practice of saying things that actually wont be (or be the complete opposite) in the final game end with ME3
i think by now most people know how much a publisher can affect reviews on most sites, but i think ME3 really pushed it, i would probably even bet that there was some kind of NDA about the ending that they had to sign if they wanted to release their review early because otherwise it doesnt make sense no one would say at least something about the ending
also the animations need to change, and PLEASE......Do not do day 1 dlc that is worth over 50$ this time. you cant even control those characters. why was the golem worth 20 bucks?
The first game was epic and you felt like the things you did changed the world you were in and the direction your character went. The second game was not as epic but it didn't counter that with a more intimate story and character development.
The thing that disappointed me the most about DA2 was that Bioware ignored what was great about DA:O and created a game that fell short in many more ways than it's predecessor. I could blame EA but I really don't know what is happening at Bioware, all I know is that they need to redirect their ship because they're headed off the deep end.
