Dragon Age: Inquisition's co-op multiplayer revealed - expect microtransactions but "no paywall"

Dragon Age: Inquisition will, indeed, have a multiplayer mode, created over two years by "a special team with veterans from the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises". To be specific, it'll offer a four-player co-op component in which you undertake quests against AI foes as an Inquisition agent, after the example of allied forces in the Galaxy at War mode in Mass Effect 3

Of course there'll be microtransactions. It's EA ffs.

DarkOcelet3529d ago

This and Unity , Sigh. I hope this doesnt become the norm in game like the dlc .

700p3529d ago

Instead of complaining..dont buy the microtransactions. I wont.

Aloren3529d ago

If they do it like they did in ME3, that means free dlcs and just microtransaction to buy random loot packs which are totally not needed.

XtraTrstrL3529d ago

LOL, I remember a few days ago commenting on the rumor of a possible co-op mp mode and getting slammed for it. Well, here we are folks.

Roccetarius3529d ago (Edited 3529d ago )

You wanna know how people knew, that ME3 was going to have a MP mode? It was because a demo crashed and was rebooted, then you could see the file names being loaded. Obviously forums tried to cover it up as nonsense, but it turned out to be true.

This was just a matter of time, because EA doesn't release games without MP anymore.

XtraTrstrL3529d ago

To be honest, the microtransactions where they allow you to unlock a chest in MP mode that would take a little longer to get gold isn't as bad as lots of stuff out there now. Especially if it's only pertaining to the multiplayer mode which they say is completely separate from the campaign. I rather it not be there ofcourse, but it's like in PvZ:Garden Warfare, instead of playing a few matches to get your coins to buy more plants, you get your plant ammo a little quicker. As long as they aren't lying, or don't switch up later, it's not horrible - just not ideal.

I just hope they don't overdo it with other $DLC$ and any type of real p2w micro. I'm glad there's a separate MP mode though, it seems it has the potential to be really fun.

Roccetarius3529d ago

The ME3 Microtransactions was not far off from gambling, simply because you had no idea what you were buying. It could be anything between a consumable to weapon upgrades worth using for a class.

Fifa is probably their worst example.

Enate3529d ago (Edited 3529d ago )

Yea I hated the ME3 mp system for unlocking. I wanted the ability to focus on upgrading a certain weapon at least after I unlocked it.An after countless hours we all pretty much gave up because we couldn't unlock or make the weapons we loved powerful enough. So ultimately you spent hours on end obtaining weapons or characters you didn't really want.

MegaSackman3529d ago

If it works as said, is microtransactions done right. Either way, coop dungeon crawler sounds fun.

MilkMan3529d ago

BREAKING NEWS: Witcher 3 will have a racing simulator added also. Its also multiplayer. Sound ridiculous? Its cause it is.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Retro Review – A Nostalgic Leap Short Of Legendary

Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.

The quality of these free games has been awesome. Before anyone says they are not free I was already giving Amazon $6 a month for prime shipping and video this isn't why I pay for my subscription

Teflon02909d ago

Still technically paying for it, even if it wasn't your intent. They've been giving out games with Twitch prime, they just changed the name. It's the same sub as that was. If you weren't aware, great. But you're paying for it.

That being said, I don't personally care. For me as long as you're willing to pay that for 1 service and get more. I personally take it as free. Like prime video, music though the prime version is trash, and all the Twitch benefits are all free to me because I didn't care about those when I got it. Just comes with it.

Only noted because that's technically wrong as a defense to that argument, whether I'm on yourside with the initial statement lol

mkis007909d ago

It's free to anyone who has already been paying. IDK why people need to split hairs.

TinkerNation909d ago

How does Prime Gaming work? Do you keep the games, or is it only as long as you have Prime?

Germaximus909d ago

lol Nice distraction from how they're now charging people to increase viewership. It's "just an option." /wink lol
