For those who read Dutch, the 4Gamers review has now tagged its spoiler.

 

Wish I hadn't translated the article before :/

Made a point to read the ones with the lowest scores. They all seem to have disliked different things. They only thing consistent seems to be that the story drags a little after you get out of the prologue (And even then some say it picks up dramatically after the first fifth/third of the game)

As long as the cons are such subjective points, I'm seeing this as a good sign :)


I'm kind of relieved that they didn't like the after the prologue bits, because the Hinterlands looked rather weak to me in the preview videos, and the fact that it's mentioned gives the reviews more credibility when they like other things.

You gotta love how this thread:

Suddenly dissapeared, few minutes ago, from this section of the forum.
Just sweep it under the rug.

Assume that someone decided to either post a major spoiler, or something bad occurred in the thread.

 

Unless you prefer conspiracy theories...

They put it into the feedback section... for some reason

I find it odd that no review I've read so far brings up the game's ending. I don't know whether that's good or bad.

That works too.

I'm not gonna read the reviews since I don't want any spoilers, but I have a question: do any of the reviewers mention GOTY? Or are they just like, "yeah, good game, enjoyed playing it," type stuff?

French review.

They were pretty hard with DA2  , and they gave DAI a 17/20 so it's encouraging.

The reason is obvious, no need for conspiracy theories.

It's been here for a long time and suddenly, when this got confirmed it is moved to some back allay thread so only a tiny part of community going to see it.

 

Feedback section ? I can see Hairstyles thread is still here.

In the german GamesStar review they wrote that it is not as unsatisfying as ME 3 but also not as satisfying as DA:O. What that implies I don´t know.

 

They claim the ending is okay, nothing special, as goes for the story.

Yeah, but a thread giving feedback about how people feel disappointed with the lack of tactics options kind of belong in the feedback section, not scuttlebutt. 

 

Edit: I do agree that they are pretty bad at being consistent with moving feedback threads to the feedback section. Which is a shame, because it would encourage more people to post there.

And the thread giving feedback how pepole feel disappointed with the lack of good haircuts options belong where ?

 

You know how it looks when some thread is simply moved ?

It apears on the original page for some time with [<-] icon information. This thread simply dissapeared in the blink of an eye.

 

If it isn't so obvious why, I am not going to explain it.

I have decided not to read any reviews, i wanna go in as fresh as possible, but for anyone who did read them...could you answer me these few questions?

 

 

1- I am getting it for my Xbox One, anything said about this version? bad/good things?

 

2- The realtime combat. Similar to DA2 or improved on that? I think we can now roll/dodge when in combat right? I am thinking of a warrior for my playthrough.

 

3- The camera in the console version, anything said if we can use different camera views, zoom in on the character while exploring and keeping the camera locked?

 

4- Quests! Are the (side) quests fun for the most part? Some unique stuff in there?

 

5- Conversations and choices. It's a BioWare game, surely we get some nice conversations and interesting choices?

 

6- Exploration. Is this game going to make the real explorers among us happy?

 

:)

Another review from a german pc website:

http://www.gamestar....72,3080182.html

 

I wanted to post it here even though it's german, because that website always does a pretty damn good job at reviewing games objectively, because they not only always have more than one person reviewing big games, but also have a very nice score system, were each game gets up to 10 points in 10 different categories, which makes up the overall score.

Overall the game got a 85/100 score from the website.

The critiques are:

- Controls 6/10 because the tactics view is awkward to use with mouse and keyboard and the menu's are pretty bad and clunky to use. About as bad as Skyrims menus.

- Rpg-system 7/10 for the dumbed down mechanics. No attribute customisation and no talents like potion-brewing from origins.

Other points include:

- Tactics not necessary for combat

- crafting feels like a gimick and feels clunky sometimes

- Story is well done, but often decisions don't have consequences

- Tutorials don't explain enough, exspecially about the lore

- Not all characters are well done and some voice-actors sound bored.

 

Additionally they mention that the main-story took 30 - 35 hours, including the necessary sidemissions to get the required power. 

So not 85 like some reviewers mentioned.

And while it's not a main critique point it was also mentioned that Inquisition is a lot tamer, then Origins. No small children getting posessed or stuff like that. It feels more like Lord of the Rings than Game of Thrones in that regard.

As I said in my edit, I wish they were more consistent. But the main thing is that they aren't just deleting the thread in order to silence the negativity. The thread is still there, in a part of the forum where it actually belongs. It's not exactly hard to find.

By the way GameStar is not the best source if you want to know if story and writing is good. They have a very narrow definition of what is interesting and compelling. They seem to think characters are only interesting if they are somehow crazy.

They also liked the original ending of Mass Effect 3 very much :(

:( and no Sky UI to save us cause frostbite.

 

Goddamnit.

 

Meh DAO takes me 30 hours if I plow through just the story so that length doesn't really bother me. I never could understand how people got more than 50 hours out of origins.

That spoiler had better not be true. :angry:
