The next instalment in the hugely popular Dragon Age franchise arrives next month and TGL recently caught up with the game’s producer Fernando Melo to talk about all things Dragon Age II.
Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.
For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.
Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."
Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).
BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.
While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"
Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well
Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy
Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo
Delving into a well-loved game or series years after its release, when it already has an enthusiastic and devoted fanbase, can be incredibly difficult. People can be casually mean on the internet without intending to, and that happens a lot when you say you don’t like something they do. Fans of the franchise take their love of the game very seriously. They’re fervent and devoted, which has its charms, but it can also feel like you’re disappointing them when you decide their thing is not your thing.
Cult favorite? It’s well known and sold fairly well and they are making a fourth game . I don’t see it anywhere near cult favorite status . I really enjoyed the first game and the third was pretty good (with failed mmo faults you could notice) but the second game was lazily made garbage .
Loved the first one, second was pretty good. Couldn't even get through the third one. Don't have high hopes for 4, but hey, nowhere to go but up hopefully.
DA: Origins was cool, but I got Mass Effect 2 at the same time and goddayum there was no comparison imo.
EPIC Fail...
so... its an 60+10+10+10usd FUll game?
The demo sucked and I wont get if the dlc are free. Thats all games do now is make crap, patch patch patch and sell dlc ,dlc ,dlc.
Why were games rarely patched and usually worked well years ago? Because there was no harddrives so the games were quality out the door. If the game sucked its because the game sucked. Why do you think nintendo patches nothing. They make their games work. If it sucked its the maker but not it needing a patch or dlc.
I have all 3 systems and rarely use the wii , so this isnt a pro wii rant.
so same price at DAO, shorter and we will have to pay more for the DLC??? Great.
so we have to pay extra for the complete game?count me out i will not let any company milk me for cash
seriously people? He just said that the game will be a little shorter than DAO, to think of it as ME2 in terms of length which in my book is good enough. Plus dont forget how much CGI is in this game compared to DAO was. in addition, he mentions that yes there will be more dlc, but c'mon what game nowadays doesn't have post release dlc. I for one am grateful since not only do I get to experience a great story that comes shipped inside the box, but afterwards I can continue to expand that story through dlc getting to know the characters even more as he mentions that the fans wanted more dlc geared towards the main character and his compainions so that's what im sure bioware will do mostly with the dlc. DLC is infact good in this case as the devs can give us more dragon age instead of a new dragon age al togehter which would mostly have them first creating a whole new engine, characters ect where in this instance the devs only need to focus on creating more story, thus we get more DA quicker in the process than having to wait out for a new sequel. CASE CLOSED
