I am always puzzled by individuals who spend up to $60.00 or $100.00 on a product that they do not have experience with beyond a brand name and a developer source.

The only way to actually experience a game is to buy it. If nobody ever bought new things, there would be no new things.
 

Perhaps I am merely a more critical consumer, but honestly I find it difficult to spend more than $20.00 on something I do not know the quality of beforehand.

Again you don't know the quality of anything until you've tried it. Quality is subjective, and even if there are critics you trust, there is no guarantee that their opinions and yours will always line up.

I enjoyed both DAO and DAII, so I'm buying it as soon as I can.
I hope they release an awesome collector's edition for DAI, 'cause I didn't like the Signature's edition of DA2 very much.

It is EA Bioware . Why ignore that fact? Not being negative. It is what it is and that should be taken into consideration.

Bioware is a division of EA. There is no such thing as EA Bioware. Calling the organization EA Bioware doesn't hold any real meaning because that is not a real name.

I will absolutely wait not just for the reviews but for users on the forums discussing it.

I am terrified after ME3 and DA2 and from things posted and written in blogs by the developers.


I probably wont get it for at least a month and only then if its a true RPG with some flexibility in the story

I'm not preordering it because I'm cheap. I like a good sale muhahaha!
I'll still buy a video game even if everyone on the forum is raging against it because I like trying everything for myself. It's like when my friends tell me a movie absolutely sucked I still go and see it just because my opinion might be different.

If information shows buying a game at $60 would leave me at high risk of disappointment, I would hold off purchase.

Buying a mediocre game at $20 would give me much less disappointment than at $60.

Someone will buy new things of course. Especially if the risk of disappointment is low, then more people buy new things.

If a game makes everyone think like me and do not buy at day 1, doesn't mean people won't experience it. Its price will simply drop more quickly. Stores want to get rid of copies lying around. And, depending on said companies' previous actions, they may totally deserve it.

I am pre-ordering the most expensive edition of the game I can afford as soon as it's available.

So, are you traveling to Australia next fall to buy DAI there?

What if I tell you that you can purchase goods from other countries without travelling there?

WHAT DARK MAGIC IS THIS?

[Airdeen]

I will most likely pre-order the game. I very, very rarely read reviews and I never read reviews for something I plan to buy (when it comes to games, books, films etc).

When I get the game I will stay far away from this forum (and anywhere else it could be discussed) until after I've finished the game myself. I do not want any spoilers or anything like that to colour my experience of playing the game.

[Angrywolves]

Unlikely to buy the game now.
Asuming there will still be XBOX and PS3 versions of the game, a big question, will they be inferior to the PS4/X1 versions ?

[Ye Elder Geeke]

I seem to be one of the *relative* few that loved DA2. Yes, agreed, DAO was better but I still loved DA2. While I *may* pre-order, I will definitely purchase the game as soon as it's released if I don't.

I am a big believer in capitalism and the power of the consumer. Anyone who pre-orders this after expressing disappointment with Bioware's last three offerings, DA2, ME3 and SWTOR, is part of the problem. You are not voting with your wallets, the one language companies understand.

These arguments are silly. What if I think ME3 was loads of fun, but the ending sucked? How does not buying ME4 convey that I'm cool with ME3 but want an ending that doesn't suck? Or what if I thought that ME2 did have enough open-world content? How does not buying ME3 show Bioware what I want?

This whole "vote with your wallet" nonsense misunderstands how the actual design of products works.

Uh...is english your second language?

If you LIKED ME3 than obviously you are not the group in which I was referring are you? Although I would argue that ME3's problems went deeper than the terrible ending.

I also fail to see how the purchasing of a game has any effect whatsoever on the design of a game. Clearly it is you who does not understand so let me spell it out. It may however have effect on the design of the NEXT one.

Companies do not read the exceptions. They do not look at people on forums and see "Well, I liked everything but this...". They see only that you spent sixty bucks on their product and assume you will do so again for more of the same.

But I didn't say I liked ME3. I consider myself quite dissapointed with the ending, enough that it tains the whole product for me (never replayed it). But how does not buying ME4 convey my specific dissapointment, versus someone who thinks, say, auto-dialogue broke his/her Shepard?

I also fail to see how the purchasing of a game has any effect whatsoever on the design of a game.  

It doesn't. The design is something that's done in a room of execs. Short of when they're being surveyed via focus groups (or equivalent), consumers get zero say. 

Clearly it is you who does not understand so let me spell it out. It may however have effect on the design of the NEXT one.

No, it won't. That's the whole point. There's no way to tell the thousands of reasons people might or might not buy a product from the mere fact of their purchase. 

They see only that you spent sixty bucks on their product and assume you will do so again for more of the same.

Well, no, actually. They see you spent 60 bucks, and then they ask themselves which features you don't care for that other users who didn't spend 60 bucks might, and try to maximize their audience that way.

Just look at how TW3 is adding in open-world. 

[CuriousArtemis]

Nope, DAI will probably be the first game I ever preorder 

[Leanansidhe]

Since I consider 95% of the people on the internet idiots, no, I will not wait for user reviews.

I've never been disappointed in a BioWare product yet.  I seriously doubt I will be now.

As soon as the top of the line edition hits the pre-order stage, I'll be buying it.

How do you figure that the multiplayer aspect of an otherwise single-player game makes an MMORPG?

as long as its an optional part of the game,then i will have no problem with it.if its free and offers at least some type of incentive for going online..then yes i will play it online.but..i prefer single player for my RPGs.

[IC-07]

Doesn't matter, I'll buy DA:I solely for multiplayer.

[TravisB]

contrary to popular opinion..im not a fan of the PC style RPG.the action based combat and faster dialogue in 2 was a vast improvement over origins.so in my opinion the logical step is to build on that.those that continue to cry over 2 not being like origins will most likely find no solace in 3..and im fine with that.
