Dragon Age 2 destroyed Dragon Age 3 preorders all on its own

The overblown reaction to it more like.

<_<

Not overblown in the slightest. Dragon Age 2 was a terrible sequel. Dumbed-down everything for a wider audience.

Well, dumb me preferred it over DAO. OMGZ NOES!

[Beld VanGuard]

I think DA2 did a good job of this already, but it certainly doesn't help =/

Am i the only one who tolerated DA2 when I went on DANexus and downloaded a heck load of addons to make it more interesting?

Nah. Did that with DAO AND DAII.

[Travie]

I'll just chime in with 99.9 percent of this thread and say DA2 already did that.

Different franchise, different team..

If DA3 looks like a game I might like, I'll pre-order. Don't regret ordering DAII OR ME3.

But I can't say whether or not I'll pre-order DAIII ...since I know nothing about it yet.

Same company,  same culture,  same buisness plan,  same bosses.  Which franchise or team does it doesn't mean ME3's problems won't carry over.

Plus,  the DA2 teams response to all of the game's problems pretty much insured I'll never buy anything that team works on,  and I doubt I'm alone since I've read people commenting on their interviews all over the 'net.

No. This game was still 99% amazing.

[Sainta117]

I'd say yes, in all probablity. Lots of overlap in fanbases. Of course, that will depend on how thoroughly the ending gets fixed...

[suunio]

will I preorder? nope
will I buy it? sure, when it's in the bargain bin

The people who insist that BioWare's handling of ME3 means nothing to the bottom line really make me chuckle. The whole argument rests on the assumption that all gamers are basically blow-hards with short attention spans who will quickly forget about any disgust and anger.

I think this idea severely underestimates not only the intelligence of gamers in general, but also the overwhelming amount of negativity around the ME3 fiasco. Not only was the end-game a mess, but BioWare have (imo) handled the whole thing very poorly.

I can only speak for myself obviously, but I can tell you that I won't forget how I felt when I first finished ME3. At the time, I hadn't read any of the "ending" threads for fear of spoilers, and like a lot of people on BSN, I assumed it was being blown waaay out of proportion. But then I saw it for myself...and for the first time since I started playing video games in the '80's, a game made me feel physically ill. That's not something you forget all of a sudden just because something new and shiny comes along.

So yeah. I'll never be pre-ordering another BioWare game again. And more importantly, if they don't do a proper job fixing ME3, I'll never *buy* another EA game period. And I can promise you something without a shadow of a doubt in my mind - there are *thousands* of BioWare fans out there who feel the same as I do.

I'll buy it as long as Casey Hudson and Mac Walters aren't involved with its development.

After the horrible showing that was DA2  and the let down that was the misleading of ME3  and the rather dodgy responses from BioWare they have effectively lost all my confidence in them <_<. So as such all games of theirs shall be rentals and if I like it I'll buy it, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting fed up with the misleading promotions they have done and the large reliance on DLC . So I'll rent my BioWare games from now on and everyone else can do what they want.

I only bought DA:O because I played it at my friend's house and got intrigued.  I like DA:O enough that I bought the expansion and sequel.  I might buy DA3 still if I had enjoyed DA2 but I didn't.  

As for pre-ordering DA3, I don't think I ever would since I was never really a hardcore fan to begin with.  In my case, the ending of ME3 would not affect whether I would pre-order DA3 or not.

OTOH, the ending for ME3 hit home much harder that BW is now part of EA.  And I never had a good impression of EA based on what they did to my favorite games.  Which means I generally watch what I buy from EA regardless of whether it is other random studio or BW (whom I know used to make great games).

Bioware is completely clueless about what people like about their games, and what people like about the games they're trying to copy.  <_<

Gears of War is popular because its co-op, its gritty, and above all, the combat is tight and polished.  Not because it has set-pieces and loud sound effects.

Skyrim is popular because its open world, open-ended, mod-friendly, and is uncompromising in the depth of its lore.  The actual combat sucks.

Bioware you're copying the wrong parts of these games.

[AYCK-Xlive]

If by looking at Skyrim means that Dragon Age will actually have DragonS and not just dragon per game, and only in this aspect, then i suppose its fine. lol otherwise, nope, i'll wait for reviews.

This pretty much sums it up, but not to make the post too useless. What EA should do is how Activision does. Just let that part of the company work till they feel satisfied with the product. I mean look at Diablo 3. It has been in production for forever and a day, and they're going to make so much money because of that.

[Pyrothol]

I might buy DA3 but I'm going to wait until it comes out and I hear how it is.
