My prediction: The game is released, fans are satisfied because Bioware does listen to us, the major gaming review sites are still in DA2 mode so they give the game low scores in fear of the backlash they got before.

Basically I think no matter how good the game is, they will give the game low scores because of the rediculously high scores DA2 got. (My favorite was PC Gamer UK saying it will be the best RPG of the decade). Has anyone noticed all the major sites going back on their praise for the game originally? That mixed with the ME3 mess spells bad news. 


So I think the game will be good, the fans will love it, but reviewers will give bad scores anyway.

I can't make a prediction at the moment. I would like to know something concrete before I do that.

Given that the announcement went like this:

Bioware: We are proud to announce the third installment of Dra----
Fanbase: How dare you! It'll suck!
Bioware: It will be a com-
Fanbase: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? It's not exactly like DAO/II? You sellouts!
Bioware: And then there is.....
Fanbase: WHATEVER! DA SUX! AND BIOWARE HAS BETRAYED US!

I don't think it'll be fun.

Ahh yes. Well then I predict it will suck because players can not romance a coat rack.

I've always preferred wardrobes. More robust, ya know?

If I can't get a (equippable) gorilla companion or a naked and drunken Oghren cameo where he's riding a gorilla into battle against the Darkspawn, then Bioware will have betrayed my trust and will be dead to me.

DEAD, I say!

I could see this happening for sure.

I predict that I won't care, because reviews are subjective, and being published in a magazine or on a website doesn't make someone's opinion any more valid or correct than mine.

The "professional" game reviewers will love it, praise the 'innovation', and sugar coat the short comings so much it'll give you diabetes. That will happen. Might even give it a 10 if Bioware gives Chobot or one of her plastic, vapid clones a spot in the game.

As for the fans...who knows? We'll have to wait until Inquisition actually drops to get some truthful reviews out there. For what it's worth, I think it'll destroy DA2 in terms of quantity and quality. But what I'm really dying to see is how it'll stack up against daddy. Will Inquistion match (or dare I say, surpass) the magic of Origins? Got all my fingers and toes crossed, and every day I try to kill a little piece of the cynic flailing inside me. Should have him completely dismembered by the time Inquistion drops, so I should be without bias then.

I honestly don't hate DA2. I didn't like the simplistic Attribute selection, but really...thats my only complaint. The story was fine, I thought Kirkwall was ugly, but I think that was the intention all along. I like Hawke's companions...I really see nothing wrong with it other than the attributes.

As long as the story stays consistent with DAO or DA2, I'm game. Even more so if the put the attributes back to the way they had them in Origins...or something very similar

[KiwiQuiche]

That they'll be something I won't give a crap about.

[Cyne]

I hope everyone, professional reviewers and fans alike, will be blown away and will celebrate its every feature. What I believe will actually happen is slightly different: it'll be received much like the EC was, generally positively with a not insignificant proportion of complaints. It'll probably resemble dragon age 2 in gameplay more than dragon age 1 and that'll ****** some people off. Storywise, it's too early to say. I expect the improved graphics to be received really well though.

As a romance option, I would prefer a giant talking squid, a broodmother voiced by Chuck Norris, and a sl*tty penguin. Coat racks just aren't how I roll.

The game doesn't look good in some ways... another film interactive?, where i will watch(not will be) the protagonist, a guy "talking" by myself, consequences? everything(not my choices, not my romances...not time for my imagination..). Will see the incridible combat Mix... The fanbase is out in the magazines forums and will see... because for now...

Hmmmm. Given the way I have felt about Bioware's last two releases, I feel like this is the exact OPPOSITE of how DA2 and ME3 were received.

Game was bad, fans hated it, but reviewers gave them good scores anyway.

In all seriousness though, Bioware seems to be taking this dev cycle pretty seriously and they don't seem to be over-selling or over-promising ANYTHING at this point, keeping everything under wraps until they have concrete examples. This will keep expectations in line (well, REALISTIC expectations in line) so that fans won't have as high of a bar to meet to match what the developers say pre-release. So we'll see.

[goofyomnivore]

I imagine the reviewers will love it regardless. Frosbite engine + BioWare RPG rolled into one, is a hype machine waiting to happen. And hype = hits on your website.

As for the fan reaction. I didn't expect Mass Effect 3 to go down as it did. But I really didn't expect the endings to be that out there. Combined with the ridiculous pre release quotes and being the 'end' of the trilogy.. it was a perfect storm.

Dragon Age 2 I kind of saw coming from a mile away. 5 year project does very well gets high scores and praise.. then they try to shift focus/style in a short dev cycle toss out a very likeable protagonist(since you can customize him/her to your pleasing basically). Fan backlash was expected regardless. Then the fact the product had quite a lot of flaws made it easy for the fans to pile on. As for the professional reviewers, I hardly remember Dragon Age 2 scoring as well as Origins outside of IGN.

I have a lot of hope for Dragon Age 3 personally. An upgrade in the engine scores big points from me and a longer dev cycle also will help the game greatly. But I can't say/judge anything more until we learn more.

Do you not know what the word prediction means?

I am not interested what game reviewers say, i want a demo from Bioware so we can try the game before buying.

^ Releasing a short demo beforehand would actually be quite a good idea, if I may say so. Wouldn't want to waste a nother big chunk of my monthly allowance on a game that dissapoints me in every way. :/

I'd say this is incredibly likely. Every Bioware game since 2008 has come out with a demo beforehand, I believe. I don't know why they would stop now.

Forgive me for attempting to illustrate how completely fatuous it is to attempt to "predict" the critical and fan reception of a game which, as far as this conversation is concerned, does not yet exist.
