For starters the 360 graphics are terrible. A rushed port with a seventy dollar price tag. DA2 looks better and you can buy that for much cheaper.
Then, buy it for a next gen console or the PC. The game wasn't built for last gen's consoles, anyway.

The most unconstructive post ever.

lol you have a lot more patience then I do. I have noticed more than 1 post wanting you to explain yourself.
I know.
God forbid someone should be upset with paying a lot of money only to discover they have a poor quality product. A product showing zero proof of *being* poor quality until the packaging is opened and the disk is played. Had the devs shown a last gen demo then that would have helped many people avoid hassle by canceling their preorders, upgrading to the new gen versions.
I wanted to go from 360 to PS4 and I almost got screwed. The girl at GameStop said that I couldn't actually exchange my 360 game for the PS4 game. (I could for 360 to Xb1, but not 360 to PS4.) She pointed out that I would instead have to trade in my 12-hour old 360 game for 30 dollars store credit. Thus, I lose money. However, I lucked out. For one, she was generous and asked, "Did you redeem the codes?" I, in fact, didn't redeem any codes for the 360 game. Since the codes were unused, she demonstrated amazing customer service* by taking my 360 game back for a full, clean PS4 exchange. No money lost. (I could have kissed her.) I used my leftover funds from the fender bender to buy the console and now the game looks great.
I warn anyone who is planning to purchase a 360 version of this game: do *not* pay for that product. If you really want it on the 360, wait until it's priced under 20 bucks, if that.
*truly a lost art in today's day and age

The controls for gamepad say : you're wrong, the game was devellopped for console not PC.

Funny, because there's a stack of Dragon Age Inquisition boxes that read "PS3" and "XBOX 360", lining the GameStop shelves.
Those are the limitations of the machine. Is it a slap in the face too that the next gen machines can't run crazy high resolutions and get some of the effects that some PCs can but it still costs the same amount? No. They did what they could with the platforms they had to work with. They still put the same amount of time and effort into the game but obviously they had to scale some things because on certain platforms due to hardware limitations.
Anyway, it's an RPG. The visuals are certainly nice but they really shouldn't be the main thrust of the game. The meat of the game is still there.
Really if people don't like the limitations of their hardware then upgrade or just learn to live with it. The alternative is they don't release at all for last gen machines and people would complain about that too.
I certainly hope you don't think the visuals need to be artificially stripped down to 360/PS3 levels for XBOne/PS4/PC, because that crap does go one on in the PC world quite a bit and it needs to stop. Games should take account a particular platform's strengths and weaknesses as much as is reasonably possible.
Man **** that noise. It is not unreasonable for someone playing on the 360 or ps3 to expect graphics of at least the quality of Dragon Age 2 which came out in 2011.
I can't believe you're so stupid as to think we have no standards. Why is GTAV or Skyrim can do it then why can't Bioware? Are you saying Bioware is some indy dev with no money and no people that can make a quality game? That's pretty messed up because here you are on their forums. They should at least meet their previous game quality. I don't expect them to know the engine as good as DICE but Jesus.
I get it though..its just that elitist attitude you can't help.
They COULD have made the graphics better for the last gen console BUT it would require them to use a different engine which would have required increasing the development budget by about 75%, they would have needed to develop the engine they would have needed SEPERATE assets for this engine and in the end they would have almost double their cost just to make a game for hardware that is obsolete. The whole point of using frostbite 3 was they didn't need to develope a new engine.
Sorry but that is an unreasonable expectation.
Last gen consoles got a port what was designed to give them a CHOICE if they were unwilling or unable to upgrade.
My video card sucks (well it was top tier when I bought it but it sucks now) so on the pc things look meh for me but I played the game for 10 hours said Nope this isn't going to do so I bought a R9 290 video card which I will get tomorrow. I didn't blame Bioware for not making the game work on ultra with my old video card.
Man **** that noise. It is not unreasonable for someone playing on the 360 or ps3 to expect graphics of at least the quality of Dragon Age 2 which came out in 2011.
Yes it is unreasonable because the newer engine does not support good graphics on low power systems but does support STUNNING graphics on higher end machines. They are NOT going to remake the game just so to lower the quality of the ultra graphics setting. The only way to improve the graphics for last gen consoles or low power graphics cards for PC was to use a different engine. The whole POINT of going to Frostbite 3 was so they didn't have to create a new engine, so you expectation that they use a second engine just for old console is not reasonable.
Forget the graphics how about a working game? I havent been able to play it because it always crashes on the same spot and shutdown my system (PS3 version) and I am not the only one having problems with it. I will admit that there is a possibility that my PS3 is busted , I just need to check it on someone elses PS3 to see if this is true , but if not well then why they made available if they couldnt make it work properly? Granted Im pissed off right now and not being constructive but yeah if really intensive games like GTAV works amazingly on PS3 then why should I hope otherwise from a developer that has money to work on the game.
Here's something:
-Deadspace and Deadspace 2, I am one of the few people who really likes Deadspace 2 I think it improved on the survival horror aspects of the first one and made it better.
Deadspace 3 comes out and it's an action game with some horror elements oo, no paranoia, no isolation, or alienation, or the feeling of going mad like the other games
-Dragon Age Origins, innovated for the time it came out as a lot of old school RPGrs were starting to think the genre died. We loved all the complex, in depth mechanics of the world and the game
Dragon Age 2 is an abomination of a game, it was completely watered down, it was like giving us the fans a big ugly middle finger.
Dragon Age Inquisition, was suppose to be the game that hooked in the older players. The people who wanted a more in depth DAO, I a better and improved DAO. What did we get? Dragon Age Awakening, which was pretty much kind of neutered from the game DAO was, Awakening will never feel like an expansion to DAO because of how watered down it was
-F.E.A.R. another great survival horror game that maximized on paranoia, fear, and the player feeling like they were going to go crazy
F.E.A.R. 2 a action game with horror elements
F.E.A.R. 3 a action game with "horror" elements, maybe
-Kingdoms of Amular, I think was probably the second most decent game out when it came to the RPGs, it again was something seriously needed in the industry, but since EA shot themselves in the foot the company that made it went out of business
-Mass Effect 1, is still my all time favorite out of ME. It was great, had in depth, complex RPG elements, for a high sci-fi RPG it felt modern and innovative
-Mass Effect 2, was a neutered ME 1
-Mass Effect 3, was Halo with RP elements
DAI, is it the game the DAO fans wanted? Not really. It is better than DA 2 and I will accept it, and am having fun with it. Don't get me wrong. It's definitely refreshing compared to the crap RPGs coming out beside Dragon Dogma which was amazing.
Do I have to clarify any more for anyone?

That right there, says it all...
I notice the OP hasn't been back to specify his/her complaint.

I literally just said almost the exact thing in another thread. These game series are being ruined because they all get turned into "just another action game". its sickening to me, i have been PC gaming for 20 years and i have watched too many games stray from their roots and feel sub par, or like your not even playing a game in the series.
I notice the OP hasn't been back to specify his/her complaint.
Oddly enough because its probably not very common on the BSN, sometimes when people say goodbye they really mean it.

The fact that you liked ME1's RPG element take on shooting tells me, we are two very different kind of Bioware fan's.

I know, I've seen it before. Just seems strange to make a vague comment like that and leave. The majority of folks at least make their grievances clear. <shrug>
Oh well, best of luck to him/her. I hope they find games they enjoy. I'm not being sarcastic either. It sucks if you've lost faith in a company (Square, I'm looking at you...
)
...That's a tad extreme over a video game review, don't you think? I think you're taking someone's opinions on the ME games and their success a little too personally. Also, it's more than possible to enjoy both CoD/MW as well as other genres and franchises. Crazy, I know. ![]()
People that "hate" on DA: I should simply quit playing it dammit!
nope.

Don't get me wrong here, The Old Republic is better, in retrospective, But compared to other titles and there are few. ME had some good ideas
nope.
Alrighty then.
I might regret asking this, but how is EA "policing our mortality" in this case? If you're gonna rant OP, try to be a little more specific.
Oh i love it when rants lose sight of logic.

I have no veredict yet, Origin kept ressetting my download all the time, i just have a pathetic 56% and i started preloading since friday.
All I want now is to blow down EA's offices with c4 and menace them to get me a hard copy of the PC version
