For those who don't know him he is a reviewer for the Houston chronicle and posts videos when he gets games and other gaming items in for review.

 

Some other reviewers on twitter also mention getting their review copies and starting to delve into it to get a review out in time.

I wont care what they say about their reviews of it.  Half the time or more often than not, their opinions dont match mine. I will make mine when I play the game. I may suggest to others if I like it.  I know I will like this one, and suggest it. Just only suggest, not much detailing.  If its a game I dont like, I dont bother telling anyone about it.

 

If its female possible game, and turned out decent I will let ladies know that it might be interesting to them.

As soon as he said "Lead them or Fail" I just had to stop. Seriously BioWare, give the game to someone who actually understands what is written on the case.

i cannot believe how hard people are being on his glancing at the box and reading "FAIL" instead of "FALL". i could totally do that in the excitement of just recieving a copy 3 weeks before release of possibly one of the best RPGs of all time!!!

 

i have even seen that addage 5 or 6 times watching videos and have already forgotten if it was fail or fall. you dont have to memorize such phrases to be considered "cool" enough for a review copy, lol.

 

besides, the dude was like "enchantment". that gets a two fonz thumbs up from me!!!

Cameron Lee was discussing the preparation for the review copies going out recently.

This shows great confidence in DAI and the willngness to have the review embargo lift before EA Access.

 

It hasn't been exactly specified, but we know at least Xbox One and PS4 versions have gone Gold.

I think that 4am shift a few days ago must have been the Xbox One and PS4 final.

 

It should also give reviewers the chance to play the end of the game before reviewing it.

It would be very helpful for reviewers to confirm a satisfying ending - that would be good for 'many reasons'...

People, don't click the video. It's a lie. The guy is just trying to get views. It's impossible to get a review copy of a game that has yet to gone gold. BW not even finished with the game and yet this guy is claiming to have a review copy? BS.

Review copies should be sent to actual gamers who know what is up, who can play them and then can give a relatively fair review. You know, people like Total Biscuit, Angry Joe, Gamermd83 and Lady Insanity, not this type of person.

Who says they wont be getting a review copy? And what "type of person" should this man be in your opinion in order to receive a review copy of a game? He's obviously a gamer, and if he writes for a major paper then whats the problem? I didn't think more mainstream exposure was a bad thing.

The best way to deal with some of the hurt:

  • DA2 - caves, impact on the world
  • ME3 - red/green/blue
  • bla - bla - bla

Is to get review copies into the hands of reviewers - a wide range of people, so not just the usual suspects and the IGNs...

And including some who mainly play Battlefield 4 or don't touch RPG normally (even the one who did the annoying 'Da Bears' footage)

 

Then give them enough time to play the game - including the ending.

 

Shadow of Mordor hit gold by getting copies out early and having the hype build that way.

BioWare do have a point to prove and this will help them prove it.

 

(I'm looking forward to Angry Joe's review - I like those)

Yeah Shinobi has been talking to some of the reviewers for their early impressions: http://www.neogaf.co...t=922171&page=4

 

"World's so ****** big"

"Filled with puzzles"

"load of sidequests"

 

"Story seems more interesting. Hard to tell at this point ofc, but intro felt better than previous games"

 

"Image quality is crisp on PS4, no screen tearing. Framerate holds up well but very slight dips during a ton of onscreen action.

Reiterating the world is massive, tons to see and do."

 

"there's a ton of dialogue options, so it's not toned back like ME3."

 

With great respect, be back in 5 mins.

He does a fair review of games, and does a good job.  I actually prefer him to the idiocy of Angry Joe.  I am certain Ashe and others will be getting their own copies.

He has played the other 2 DA games.

 

Also, from the video of the back of the box, I can understand why he thinks it says "lead them or fail"

I'm not salty. I ordered the super duper inquisitor edition.

 

And plus...playing video games as a job? It might sound fun...but after a few weeks you would feel empty. Not to mention he has to play it on a console.

 

Plus, as a future teacher, I cringe when adults make SIMPLE errors that my 5th graders would not make.

Thats nice n all, but its not like he is going to show us anything new like game play or etc. Also 100% sure if I had to guess what the ps4 version DAI box look liked I would have been 100% correct like any other game.

 

On a side note I never really cared for reviews about a game unless I played it myself or saw walkthroughs and etc. Everyone is saying the same thing about DAI anyway which is, its awesome!  Also following the progress of DAI for 2 years, I def will get it :)
