Remember folks- Having a roof over your head is a luxury not a right.

It isn't a right, but it could be argued that it is a necessity.

You know, 3 min. without air, 3 days without air, 3 weeks without food, 3 months without shelter, etc.

Calling games a "necessity" would be amusing.

Your comparison is invalid.

It is not invalid, because why work hard if you can't enjoy a few luxuries, like roof over your head or say a bit of gaming to relax.

There are only 3 necessities, air, food and water but who wants to live only on them 3. What a crappy life that would be.

Well this rather amusing exchange between Evil Chris and myself on Twitter definitely implies that DA3 is going to be for current gen. Though it doesn't confirm.

Umm... it had nothing to do with any gen at all Ryan. I made a joke that a video of a monkey clapping cymbals would have been much easier to make than whatever it is we have made.

You aren't just reading too much into it, you are reading somethign that isn't there at all. Sorry.

Chris can you conferm that Dragon age 3 is coming to a pc near us in the near future though or is that to many spoilers?

PC LEAD PLATFORM

I wouldn't assume this, console versions were the major part of the sales.

I don't understand why Bioware can't just release a formal statement regarding which consoles the next game will be on. If the fans ask enough times, why not just BE a good company and give them what small bit of information they want to know? The only thing keeping Bioware from doing so, I assume, is they they do not yet have their sh*t together and have no idea when the game is going to be complete.

If they know it will be available in Fall 2013, then why keep the platform a secret?

Something tells me they aren't banking on DA3 being ready by Fall 2013.

This has nothing to do with "being a good company". I assume that giving out the release date and on which platforms it will be avaible is part of the marketing and will be reserved til they have their game presentation at E3. A dev can't simply chime in here and give the targeted date, especially now when providing such date instantly involves the question on which platform.

Accept it guys and wait those 10 days.

Well, at this point it's only 10 days. But trust me, a lot of people have been waiting around for much longer. I understand the business/marketing aspect of it, but I also understand that companies need to exercise a little better PR with the people who basically keep them afloat. I don't think asking for platform info is that big of a demand. TW3 info was revealed far in advance of the projected release date...

Sure,I know it was/is a long time. I'm lurking here to catch every tiny bit of info since that DA II thing happened.

Well, maybe it is? We don't know their presentation plans or strategy. Also, we are not in the position to demand anything. The official presentation is way too important than possibly screwing it by providing such info here. They are trying to reach the big market with it, not us; we are getting the info anyways.

To be fair to them though Dragon Age 2's marketing was highly criticised. I think their approach this time of not announcing anything until relatively close to the realease date is a smart approach because it means that theres little to no chance of them promising anything that doesnt make it into the final game, and the release date they give will be unlikely to change. 

I don't see how it matters when we learn what consoles it's on. As long as it's at least four-five months before the release It doesn't really make much difference.

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if they still didn't have their sh*t together by E3 on the 11th. They will either announce the platform info or they will have very little to say about DA3. 

I think a lot of the fans are waiting around to know if whether or not they should ditch Bioware once and for all. I also speculate that Bioware has some unfortunate/disappointing news about DA3 (console releases etc) and they're just trying to delay the inevitable...

So far none of the news has been that good. 

Think about it.

No playable origins, no choice on race, no imported saves, EA layoffs, micro transactions, multiplayer whateverthef*ck, and the list goes on. They promised not to reuse maps, but jeez, that seems to be the only shred of decent news about the game...

And now there's the concern of platform options. If Bioware had the information (set in stone) to reassure their fans - logic denotes that they would reveal said information for the official record. But that hasn't happened. In this case - no news is bad news.

Because they know some people will crap all over them the second they release any info at all.

You act like this is a bad thing?

[Tinxa]

I don't understand all the whining and concern about the no info thing.

Is it really that much different if they did a teaser one year ago and a blurb about the game 6 months ago and another small bit of info a couple of months later than if they reveal the game now and then have something new every couple of weeks. The game won't be out any sooner or be better or worse if info about it was spread across 2 years than if it is more concentrated in the time before release.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that there's a demographic of DA players who snub the imported saves, but in my opinion (and in the opinions of *numerous* other DA players) the save import was a big perk/motivator/thrill/super-awesome-part-of-playing-dragon-age. 

So, yes. On behalf of myself - and of plenty of those who feel the same - no imported saves is disappointing news. To each his own.

It's been heavily implied that there will be a new method of declaring what decisions you made in previous games. 

Surely this is good news for people who cared about importing- because unlike the awful importing from Origins to Dragon Age 2 this new method might actually work properly.

It's not a new method (contingent on what I've heard). It's just a brief checklist. *yawn*

(Assuming this is the new method, I'm sure it's not been confirmed): It's new in the sense that its different from the previous Dragon Age games. Its also practically impossible to get wrong, useful for people who don't have access to old saves and 100% necessary if DA:I is on next gen consoles.

It also has the very real danger of missing small details in your import, like the Mass Effect "Genesis" comics.

Small details had no impact on subsequent games anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

The PC master race is starting to look better and better to me. 

To be fair, this sentiment is a day late and a dollar short for those who have their save so a current gen console. 

A Genesis comic is something I feel would be inevitable. There are many details which are not easily caught in such a process, but the simplification of the process - not just for players, but for the developers as well - but the nature of the large decisions and how they have shaped Thesas would be tracked. That is all that is needed... tracking if your Warden wrangled a foursome in Denerim is not a huge game changer that needs to be remembered and referenced.

but it is amusing if it is. but I agree some like the comic is going to be used at some point  and personally I think it would be the best choice at the moment or at least better then what is used now

And importing is flawless right. You had the proper Leli codex?If you romanced Zev that worked fine and he didn't take Isabelas offer?
