he isnt the only one who has said this. Lady insanity also noted the huge difference in last gen, infact it was one of her big cons for the game, how much of it was watered down and taken out. I dont see how this is biowares fault for designing a "crappy" game when 360/ps3 both have very weak hardware, there is only so much you can do with it, and DAI is one of the most demanding rpg games atm.
Its more along the lines of how people are using those words. They didnt take anything out, per se. Did they have to water down graphics? Of course they did. Like you said, its demanding.
That doesn't change the fact that the game plays largely the same across all platforms, PC probably being the only exception unless you hook up a gamepad.
Now I do agree, the texture load in is quite bad, but this was seen in Battlefield 4 as well. The engine doesn't do that well unless you have a mid to high end PC. For a last gen game, it looks pretty freaking good. Im not blind to its technical shortcomings, just a little iffed at people who write the entire console off now that a new one is out is all x)
Just shows how little you know, they are sent out, under embargo.
Look at the reply above me for starters 
Getting really worked up over this arent you, like the poster above said as well.. its watered down, not just its graphics, more than one early reviewer leaked it so far.. huge disparity and a lot of issues. see for yourself come release.
Do those really seem like review copies genius?
If that was the case, many other review sites and whatnot would have got them ordered so that they could report on the difference between current and last gen. Please, I know you only have a few brain cells left, but try to use them to full effectiveness, you're embarrassing yourself.
Now lets quit the childish internet argument for one moment, if you're able to do that, and discuss these disparities.
I never said that there wasnt a difference, and its true that the difference is more then one should expect. A lot of this I could blame on the engine as the same issues exist on Battlefield 4, especially with online MP. That being said, you tend to look past those issues after some time. Focusing on the issues only makes them seem worse then they are.
Now I said dont "focus" on them, but you shouldnt ignore them. They are indeed issues and I feel as though they would have been better off not releasing the game on last gen.
That being said, the game is still leaps better then DA2, which is all you should "expect" from the next title in a series. Its enough for me to enjoy the game Im sure, as it would be for many others.
Now once again, I do agree the game performs and looks better on current gen/pc , just dont completely write off the last gen version because its not top tier or whatnot. It still seems to perform better then DA2, despite having similar issues as BF4.
