Ah No. DA:I is coming out this Year. Plus, it's going to be great. And IF there are those people still lurking around that complained for months after ME3 was released then they just not buy Video Games from now on, it will save those of us with Higher Brain Functionality the trouble of putting them in their place.

I think there is more than enough evidence that EA has been rushing it's many studios to push out premature games and Bioware's last two games were definitely fast tracked too much and quality of story, character, and gameplay mechanics were adversely affected. Also anyone who thought DAI was ready and treated that "first" delay as legit was pipe dreaming, I mean when was the last time Bioware's "first" release date actually panned out.

You still haven't used a non-vague reason as to why you believe the game needs yet another delay. With the reasons you have for a delay you will always be right in your own mind when the games come out because every small bug or story part you don't like can be used by you and others who have your outlook to state that the game indeed needed a delay.

Also, with your argument if the game got delayed multiple times in even smaller intervals it would meet your requirement of delaying more than just once, or actually two times. Delaying for the sake of it to give people like you a better feeling is not exactly sound advice. DAI will have had more than enough development when it comes out, close to 4 years. If the game is no good when it comes out this year, no delay would have changed anything. The quality of story, character or gameplay mechanics don't change because of a delay because the foundation of all that has been laid down at the beginning of development and if that doesn't work a delay is not going to change such a thing if a developer thinks the foundation is sound. Delays are general used to get a game ready, not to overhaul the game in the core features you just named. If you hated so much of the last two games most of those elements wouldn't have changed with a longer development cycle, except for DA2 it would have given more content and probably less repeated levels but that is really it. The gameplay mechanics of DA2 had nothing to do with the short development cycle but it was a conscious decision on the part of the developers.

Nah, I don't think it should be delayed into 2015. I think it's ready for November.

Rather than endure another delay, specifically one into next year as the original poster suggests - rather than trusting that Bioware has seemingly addressed his concerns already - I would much prefer to drag spinachdiaper behind an apple cart through heavily infested darkspawn territory instead.

Based on what data? From what I recall, the Witcher games sold a lot less. I could very well be wrong, since I don't follow sales data that close, but that's what I remember reading.
Edit: found the source.

 

The person is full of it.  The Witcher sold 6 Million and it took years to get to that number. It was NO an instant hit.

It's fair to be worried bout releasing near the Witcher 3. Looks like it will be a great game.

 

For the love of the MAKER can we please STOP comparing these games.  They only share ONE THING IN COMMON.

 

They are fantasy games!!!!!  THATS IT!!!!!

Considering both Witcher games were PC exclusive titles, the latter one with high system requirements too, I'd say 6 million is quite a good number. 

 

Also consider that Witcher 2 had a meager budget of $12 million, so they made quite a lot of profit.

BioWare needs to delay DA:I until March because I've got $5 riding on 'Spring 2015' in the betting pool.

And that is the point. Since both games are fantasy games there is a rather good chance the games will be in direct competition with one another if released within a few weeks from one another. I know that there are gamers here who don't like the Witcher which is fine but outside of this forum CDPR and the Witcher have built up a rather strong brand. I believe there are more gamers interested in the Witcher 3 than in DAI and there are enough gamers who can only buy one game per "period". If Bioware wasn't so "disliked" because of past games matters could have been different. This is why I believe another delay to the beginning of next year would be folly as it could hurt sales significantly, I am certain EA and Bioware understand this.

And no, I don't hate Bioware nor do I have any real issues with DAI but I want DAI to do well and another delay just so the game has had enough delays is just beyond silly. Anyone who thinks the game needs a delay should try to be as detailed as possible as to why instead of vaguely stating it is because of story, gameplay, etc. A delay wouldn't change anything about the core of the game if that is something you dislike. A delay at this very moment is only used to fix issues which stop Bioware from releasing the game. And especially story has been finished quite some time ago and only the year long delay in 2013 added more.

I think the war started bacause they both claim to be dark fantasy, so there is a thematic overlap. So there begun the discussions about which one made it better (imho, DA:O veers towards high fantasy after Lothering - DAII is much darker but so badly written it doesn´t let me empathize with anything), which one did "mature" content better (collectible sex cards vs sex in underwear... both silly in their own way), then DAII happened and hell broke loose. Doesn´t help that CDP appears much more friendly to their fanbase and players in general than BW.

 

Gameplaywise there shouldn´t be any similarities, being one party based and the other single PC, but the combat trailer implying you can play the game from over the shoulder perspective is worrying.

There's actually been a fair bit :P Keep an eye out for Gamescom in a couple of days.

Something that was faked and two year vague posts about... nothing. Again, during that time frame of teh Idjit CEO. There hasn't been a whisper of anything MP related for Inquisition since the rumor mill surrounding the announcement. The farthest that rumor caught was "It's gonna be like ME3."

 

Here is the thing though. For ME3 to have MP they had to add nearly an entirely new branch worth of employees to get that done for ME3 (whom are now responsible for the development of ME4). There hasn't been any surge in Dragon Age team members (other than absorbing the ones responsible for the final cut DA2 DLC) and by this stage of development they'd be showing off any Inquisition MP content.

 

I don't think we're getting any. MAYBE the War Table will have some MP flavor missions like Kenway's Fleet in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. But MP like ME3? I doubt it.

You can in Dragon Age II as well. This isn't really anything to get excited about.

I was wondering: if there is no MP why would BW keep silent about it? Deny the fact and put the controversy to sleep. Instead they stay silent about it which makes a good portion of the fanbase worried. ME3 coop was fine on its own but the implementation and relation to main game was really bad to use an euphemism.

Not necessarily.

 

Just be patient. All will be clear before release.

It's okay. Let them doubt. When the leaked achievement list turns out to be completely true, it will be a pleasant surprise.

DAI needs MP since Bioware's story telling died right before DA2 and ME3. I played through SWKotOR 3 times, DAO 6 times, ME 3 times, ME2 2 times and with DA2 and ME3 I could barely finish without agonizingly forcing myself. The funny thing is I have put 1000+ hours in ME3MP and I was so appalled when that was announced and now I see the only way DAI not being a harmful irritant to me is there being a DAIMP.

I know but apparently people are worried that we'll be able to do things we already were able to do in past games...

We've agreed that everything from DA II was evil and awful, so they need to remove over the should cam along with classes, companion, dialogue option, and XP.

Still sold more than the dragon age franchise, with considerable less marketing, and released only on one platform. I'd also say that witcher 3 is so much more anticipated than DA inquisition that it's ridicoulus. That said, Witcher 3 will probably curb stomp dragon age in sales.

I hope both games are great. Ordered the inquistors edition for DA:I and the collectors edition for Witcher 3.

If both games live up to expectations, that'll be a huge win all round.

The witcher 3 can *curb stomp* all it likes doesn't mean its a better game. I've played both and in my opinion , The Dragon Age series is leagues ahead of the witcher.
