Don't need to. Already pre-ordered. I'll check a review from RPS sometime and see what I agree with and what I don't.

I never wanted anyone messing with my mind - especially reviewers.

That is why I didn't even think of DA2 as a 'bad' game, before reading all these nasty comments about it.

Seriously though, reviews are crap. 

Pre-ordered months ago.

For a game franchise that I've yet to enter, then yeah, but as a third installment to a game series that I love, I have no interest in reading reviews until I've played and completed the game to see how my impression of the game corresponds to critical consensus. There's no way I can avoid getting more Dragon Age.

Yeah I bought it off origin so worse comes to worse I'll just return it.

 

Yay for GGG.

I've had this game pre-ordered since they gave the original release date.

Lol, nope.  I've had it pre-ordered for a while now.  Reviews most likely wouldn't shake me from my purchase now anyway.  I like what I see so far with the game, and my urge to see the story is strong.  Also, reviews sometimes contain spoilers, intentional or unintentional, so I merely look at the actual score most times.

I'm buying it, day-one. If it disappoints me like Sims 4 did... Well, I'm never going to pre-order again anyway.

Nope already pre-ordered on Origin and plan on pre-loading before I go to class on November 14th. Reviews can be hit or miss and the only people whose opinion I actually care about are youtubers who sometimes take weeks to upload and I've got no patience for that concerning this game.

I'll read Erik Kain's review of the game(if he does one).  I don't see him saying so, but if he does say the game is completely worthless(or worse, loves it and likens it to Dark Souls), I'll debate whether or not I want to cancel my preorder...

 

But other than that, there aren't very many reviewers that I put stock in.  Well, none that will get a review out before the game is released, at least...

If it were any other game, maybe. But it's not.

 

Truth be told, even if the reviews were terribly bad (something I highly doubt) I still wouldn't care.

Even though I don't put a whole lot of faith in reviewers, I'll probably check them out before I buy anyways; like others, I'll also probably look at Let's Plays and the like. Not exactly rolling in disposable income, so I have to be pretty choosy about what I'm willing to shell out 60-70 US dollars for.

I'll give the game a shot before I turn to reviews.

I will read/watch them, but it will not affect my purchase decision. I'm already sold on the game and if it's terrible I'll just play it myself to see it. I'd have pre-ordered in any case if it wasn't for the fact that I've to wait a few months before I can get a new PC capable of running it.

I can wait for reviews. I'm still somewhat terrified of something dreadfully wrong with the game.

Nope, gonna preorder it whenever I manage to think about it and have free time concurrently. I'll read the reviews afterwords and see what they think vs what I think, but I'll have long had the game by then.

I'll read some reviews. I'm a little wary of the game coming off the heels of DA:2, ME3 and no real magical healing even though there's magical chemical healing.

 

While reviews are subjective, they do provide a perspective that you can't get just from watching gameplay videos taken out of context.

I will try pirate version before buying original. Thats best way to check game and decide or its worth the money.

When I'm not sure about a game, I usually stick to gameplay videos to make my decision, as listening to reviews, no matter the source (critics, user), is rarely a good idea. The critics praised the hell out of Shadow of Mordor and I nearly dozed off out of extreme boredom 5 hours in - thank god for Stream Family Sharing.

I have already made the PC purchase on Origin and will also purchase EA Access to play DAI early on the Xbox One.  

 

I will check out the reviews, well their score for the game.  I really want to see BioWare to have a smash hit and it seems to be very, very rare for an RPG to ever hit a max 10/10 on IGN, GameSpot, etc.  I would be so thrilled if that happened! ;p

Nope. I'm sure I'll sound like a Bioware shill, but there's no way that I'll regret pre-ordering DAI unless there is something very wrong with the game. DA2, ME3 & TOR disappointed me quite a bit and yet they were still worth every dollar that I spent on them. Until there's serious competition in the cinematic RPG market, I'll probably eat up every RPG that Bioware & CDPROJEKT make because I enjoy these types of games too much and there really is nothing better.

They had me even before the game was revealed. Been waiting for the continuation of the DA universe since it ended last time and I would play it even if it was a text based game.

I'm building a new computer for this game, so I will play it anyhow and judge for myself.

 

I guess if it ends up sucking, I'll console myself with my lovely new computer and play some old games I couldn't play at max before.

I have this weird thing that I watch reviews, after I play a game. I guess I wanna see everyone elses opinions. That's the reason I'm on this forum anyway,
