Sorry, but even if this looks great, there's no way I'm buying DA3 day 1.

 I've been burned far too often by recent Bioware games. I bought DA2 day 1 because I loved DA:O. That one hurt. I bought TOR day 1 because I thought DA2 was just a fluke, and that TOR was being worked on by different people would make a difference. It did not. Because of these disappointments I decided to wait until some (user) reviews were up before buying ME3, and that decision wound up saving me $60. Clearly, I had made the right decision by only giving the game a rent.

So I don't know about the rest of you, but I cannot just assume greatness from the DA franchise now. Dont take this thread as a knock on the game or Bioware; I want the game to be great. I want a game as great or better than DA:O. But history has shown me three times over that greatness is not a guarantee, unfortunately. So like I did with ME3 I'll be waiting for some players' reviews for this game before getting it. There's simply no reason for me to do otherwise.

I'm willing to let this thread slide in light of recent mudslinging, as the point in the OP is perfectly fine and valid. And it's on BioWare to prove him wrong when we ship. Frankly I personally encourage responsible purchasing, even if it will affect me financially ;)

Having said that, I'd rather not turn this into a mudslinging match between some sort of objective "was DAO/DA2 better than the other" and so on.

To use the OP, batlin clearly feels it wasn't (and neither was ME3 or TOR). Others can come in and agree, but this thread goes no where if the discussion devolves down into bickering over how one other person is wrong about gauging the success of the game.


EDIT:  Note that I'll be deleting future posts that are just blatantly snide.  This won't be a thread where you can come in a post a glib remark.  If you wish to share your perspective about how your trust in BioWare is shaken, do so in a way that doesn't make me grate my teeth.  I am getting my bottom set of braces put on this Friday and I'd like to not have to get an entire new mold done when it's not necessary!

If you want an example for what's appropriate, see the OP's post.
