Don't know what people are so upset about, I'm having a blast with it.  Well, except for all of the cinematic talking, but that's most games anymore.

Except for subpar PC controls & bugs, I still think this is a great game.

Like I've said before. 8/10 as it stands now.

 

10/10 once the PC Controls are fixed.

I'm console.  I just finished playing some online games, though, and I agree, the PC controls sucked bad, no options whatsoever.  If you were in a party dungeon, every piece of loot appeared in a box right in the middle of the screen, and stayed there with others stacking below it until you hit "shift" and a number…VERY irritating.  Not even a 2nd power bar for other powers, you could use only 4 at a time unless you went through a hassle and reset them, impossible in battle.

Haven't played enough on my console yet, but I'll do a 9.  The map system could be MUCH better, finding my three mounts was ridiculous.  I constantly get stuck in canyons or dead ends, too, which is a real pain.

Dragon's Dogma gameplay mechanics are vaporized against Dragon Age Inquisition ones ! (sarcasm)

Dragon's Dogma…don't remind me of that disaster.  Finished the first one, bought Dark Arisen, and it reset EVERYTHING to zero, I had to redo the entire game again, and by then, the new content just ticked me off and I stopped playing it.  That ridiculous running everywhere with their clock going so fast you couldn't cover a couple of miles before it was dark was one of the worst thing of any game ever!

Except for controls and UI (inventory, looting), it's a lot of fun. I wish they'd fix inventory, looting and tactical view. All 3 are a pain on PC.

That's really all you needed to include in the OP. Save everyone a lot of time wondering how you felt that way.

The PC controls were bad enough for me that I went out and bought a controller. I've also encountered a few game breaking bugs, and the game has crashed on me a few times. Otherwise, I've been having a blast, and the game is really good in terms of story, graphics, quests, and the (semi) open world setting. 9/10 as it stands for me, 10/10 once the controls/bugs are fixed.

Quit Hating on my beloved Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen you haters, it's a great masterpiece game with a few flaws sparky!

Wrong, most people are console like me.

It was OK except for the running and the DA Island, where it was just dumb bosses one after another.  But with their patch glitch, it really screwed it up.  You may like it, others don't.

The thing about Dragon's Dogma was that it was a new IP by a fresh team. It was built from scratch. It's an amazing achievement and the future of RPGs.

Jherok, have tried it on two PCs (admittedly without a lot of time for gameplay at the moment) and am just chiming in, fwiw.

 

My very preliminary experience: I'm seeing many of the same issues PC users have been reporting, especially crashes and lag, on an i5 quad core machine with 8 GB of RAM (Win 7), but it's been pretty breathtaking so far on a laptop PC with 12GB RAM, i7 quad core (Win 8), etc. (I'm not sure whether the i5 machine meets all of the minimum specs.)

Wow, what a bummer.  But that's one of the downers of playing online on any system.  The game I just finished, a D/D one online, had those problems too. Really bites to come in after a lag or drop just to find out you're dead since you were in the middle of heated battle.  Which brings up reason two why I prefer the console/game here:  I can save it anytime almost, so I don't have to go clean back to beginnings if I die in the end boss battle or something.

I think the poster meant that console gamers are reporting a much better experience than PC players. Even the PC players who have raved about the game do seem to be putting caveats like "the game is great! Yeah the <insert complaint here> is bad/needs work, but the game is amazing!"

That you said you are having no issues and it is great is explained by being on console - the game seems to have been optimized for console gameplay.

I was one of the ones that really got ripped off by AssCreed3 and DragDogsDarkArisen's MASSIVE bug that wasn't even admitted to for months, let alone fixed.  About time I got one that's working so far.

Definitely getting DAI... after a patch..or a few patches. Playing on PC.

This was one I didn't want to wait for, and it's a nice switch from the DD PC online deal I was doing up until now.  I've only got 7 or 8 games I haven't finished yet, including Skyrim.  It went on forever and ever and ever….and it still is.  Hope Inquisition is like this, though I hate that name.  Brings up thoughts of one of the sickest times in human history, all done by religious fanatics.  As long as they don't name the next one DA the Crusades, I guess.

I pretty much just completed the "tutorial" area and that map alone was quite big , I laughed at path I had taken on the map! It is amazing to be able to run into nook and crannies in a Dragon Age map from the last two games, but I had fun running up the mountains and running down.

 

The fighting, once you get used to it is surprisingly easy too and I am playing on Hard.

The whole idea of the Inquisition is one of reform, instead of destruction of the past/establishment. The former Inquisition is one of ill repute in Thedas (thus why it eventually became the Templar and Seeker arms of the Chantry). The DA New Inquisition is a message of not being entirely defined by your past, while still carrying the memories of it. A few people realizing that in a time of such disaster, people need an Order that actually delivers instead of bickering, and that the historical Inquisition certainly did that in a Thedas being torn apart by mages and demons. But will it simply repeat its mistakes? That's up to you.

 

This message is expressed by many characters and events as the game continues and you learn more. It isn't the same as the previous 'tear down the establishment' focus of the last few BW games. (And of course, I'm not talking about the choices that the player can make, but more the narrative thrust.)

 

Basically, your reaction towards the word 'Inquisition' was likely intended. You can be continuously wary of the idea, or you can embrace it, both of these in good and bad ways. Be the tyrant, or be the leader. Be the savior, or be the man. Be the hero, or be the downfall (though most playthroughs will end up being the former there).

OK, but that does nothing to change the term's negative association for anyone with even a basic knowledge of human history, and as thus, I just don't like it.  It's place in the confines of the story are irrelevant to it's much wider-known and accepted true-life associations.

I mean sure, fine, they avoid the term 'communism' too. They just call it Qun.

 

With Inquisition they just called a spade a spade for once.
