Nah, its all fine, this is officially the Game of the Year. No more feedback needed.

 

For which platform?

Because I can see it for XBox and Playstation.

Can't see it for PC.

I actually find it to be the biggest insult that they don't even offer any form of actual support on their own website anymore. Go to the feedback section here on the board and you'll get redirected to the EA help site. Usually nobody answers there and if somebody does it's some EA employee obviously not involved in the development of the respective game. I really don't question anymore why EA was voted the worst company in the US the second time in a row last year...

 

That sort of is the most baffling thing really. The tech support is shipped off to EA Answers HQ which is just a forum of other users helping each other. There really isn't any formal tech support.

I cant belive i actully bought this game for such a price.  The smart thing would have been to wait for a year and buy a more complete product for at least half the price. By buying the game now i pretty much said : "Thanks for lieing and brining me a console port i am happy to pay for that and i hope you continue doing more of those games in the future, Good job !  "
P.S  I really need to stop comming to this forum , every day i read more and more posts and become more and more pissed myself. I hate what the consoles done to the gaming industry.

[glosoli]

Developers of today pushing the people to buy their games on summer or xmas sales under the names of "Game of the Year Edition" or "Enhanced Edition". We get the finished product one year after the release at earliest. What a joke...

It's game of the year because these days gaming industery is just as corrupt as the federal government.  lol

 

To be fair, that's not a PC specific award. We have to keep in mind that the offering for consoles wasn't that great in 2014 after all and consoles is all that interests some people, especially in the US.

Nah, sarcasm ignored, because I had no clue if GOTY was awarded separately for the respective platforms, for all/multpiple platforms or what.

Comes from not reading any game press I suppose.

 

Fulgrim's link helped a bit though. Based on the nominations this Game Awards seems to be a cross-platform/general game industry event.

I guess I can see the GOTY thing then, and the game deserving it. PC version of Inquisition is just one platform, and apparently not the most important one, while there are at least two console platforms that has Inquisition available (is it on the Wii too?).

 

I saw someone mention EA having a "platform parity" goal for their games. If that's the case a lot of what I find frustrating about Inquisition on the PC starts to make sense.

[jcmuki]

DAI's  GOTY Award was from the Geoff Keighly Game Award's show which is not platform based, so basic its the GOTY from all games on any platform, Bayonetta 2 was also in the running... so DAI is the GOTY from all the game release in 2014 which is pretty sad cause there all many other games that are better like FC4, Divinity, or Shadows or Mordor

Its alright, bioware will learn the error of their mistakes on the next game they launch when a huge chunk of us PC gamers dont preorder or buy it.. at least right away

[Cmpunker13]

No, Bioware was great because I enjoyed making character builds in their games. Now I don't anymore. DA2 was kind of good but it took away the joy of making builds. The only joy for me in RPGs. I even played MMORPGs alone just for the sake of making builds.

Talking about MMORPGs, Inquisition is the NCSoft of offline RPG, it says it is RPG but it is in fact action game in disguise.

I, and I acknowledge I am minority, care nothing for story, companions, etc, writing in general, I care for character builds, they did not deliver.

 

Honestly the Dragon Age series never featured complex "character builds". DAO had a very versatile mage, but since a lot of skills were bugged/useless, you still ended with the same few build variations. I personally don't care for the lack of attribute building in DAI, as in DAO we simply go for the requirement attribute first, then we sink all points into the main attribute (DA2 is more interesting in this department). Is that "fake" freedom so important for you? At the end of the day you have a couple of build for each class and, even without min/maxing, you can play DAO without pause or any thought for combat.

 

You care nothing for story, companions, writing and so on (and that's ok!), but that's what Bioware and the Dragon Age series are all about. If you're looking for tactical combat (I can't understand if you do) Bioware is the wrong company (now more than before, true).

Divinity: Original Sin can do the trick for you, but its writing is so dull that I left it after few hours...

Saw the official website, game is chosen by editors instead of votes. Unlike game spot which shadows of mordor won. Total a fake win using editors as they can be bought.

[Brogan]

So... you hate the two things that made Dragon Age good... tactics and the characters...

Dude, not cool to judge just because he happens to like and enjoys very specific parts of RPG's.

Just like the guy running around championing the elf arms things, they have every right.

And this post he made, while a bit hard to follow, had me thinking. What he enjoys is how the builds work and fit into the games mechanics. So regardless, he has to respect a lot of these systems because he couldn't judge the success of a build without them.

[Brogan]

I did what I wasn't going to do, which is bump the difficulty up because it was getting too easy.  I knew it would be bad, but scads of people are playing the game on Nightmare happily, so I figured with a controller it wouldn't be that bad.  Kudos to them.  It was too aggravating and tedious for me with the current AI and control scheme.  This isn't PC specific, however, it's the way things are designed.  I will probably revisit the game when a PC patch is released, but I think this is another Amalur for me.  Just not enough to keep me interested in fighting through the annoyances to see the end.  I'd rather read a book "for the story".  I don't spend a hundred hours plus fighting with the cover of a book to get to the meat.  Moving on, toodles.

These are the kinds of posts I love seeing.

Not that i take pleasure in your frustration. Just that I have (and potentially will) avoid it myself.

Oh, btw, to whoever is dissing NWN UI-don't. You just have no idea how comfortable it is, especially when you're playing as spell-caster in multiplayer environment, with no pause available.

Granted, some things could've been done differently, like inventory, and some features should've been present, but were not, like tab targeting and aoe highlight that NWN2 had, but overall, I've always found NWN UI to be fast, responsive, easy to use and relatively comfortable, especially for persistent world playthrough.

 

No doubt, it just sucks in an epic way when used in a single player pausable environment. NWN was designed or at least aspired to be a multiplayer game. Perhaps the UI is great for that, I just don't care. I don't care either that the DA:I UI is great for console multiplayer!

I think at this point, I'm waiting about a year before I even think about picking up any title from any dev studio. from now, till the end of time, or until I die of shock when I actually find a pc title worth it's salt.

I understand what Laidlaw is getting at there but its just real obnoxious of the higher up people like Laidlaw or Darrah or other people that you'd think could say something about ongoing support for the single player game. But if you've got a problem you're just cast down to EA Answers HQ, which may as well be purgatory.

 

The complete lack of transparency and communication with respect to the patching process is absurd at this point. The last we heard anything was about a month ago when the patch came out. Would it be that hard for a Community Manager or somebody just poke around and ask a dev or two to see what they're working on for the next patch? Or what we might expect from it, especially with respect to the supposed PC fixes they're supposedly doing?

 

I understand they're likely just getting back due to the holidays but come on. If Inquisition is supposed to be emblematic of BioWare and EA's whole "Games as a service" model, they're not doing a very good job of things. Just say something! Anything!

Mr. Cameron Lee:

 

 

That just showes how little knowledge Cameron Lee has about game design and it shows pretty well Bioware's current bad attitude. They spit on their own heritage and try to sell to us the idea that their new games had somehow "evolved" from BG and NWN. The simple truth is that pretty much the only improvement on these games is indeed visual. "Giving us a massive place to explore" is no evolution at all if it's traded in for a ton of filler content and MMO style zones. If you can't make an immersive world you should skip making a "massive world to explore" from the very beginning. And showing gamers each and every thing on their minimap is actually the antithesis of exploration. And change in pacing? Sure, it's indeed a true "evolution" to turn a well thought tactical party CRPG into a fast button mashing SP MMO...

 

But I guess the real evolution for Mr. Lee is that Dragon Age and all Bioware games are now primarily "true" console games - made for controller gameplay and the demands of the core audience there. A true evolution indeed, don't you think? That's how Mr. Lee and other people at Bioware truly see PC gaming and its audience: as a thing of the past for some lonely, antique nerds from the past on the one side and something for these little, cute indies on Steam on the other side. But what are these little cute indies against their massive console game, he?

 

Ouch.

Definitely waiting on any future Bioware games, I've never returned a game before so the fact that I wanted to return this one really says something.  Unfortunately to my utter despair I was stuck at work too long the day after launch and the window to get a refund passed for me.  Perhaps eventually I'll manage to suffer my way through to the end.

[Brogan]

Well, I do not have any expectations for any kind of announcement this week.  Nobody should.

 

I have to say also, that the last few pages here, particularly between pages 359-360 by multiple posters, mainly Shelled and Crash, once again got my adrenaline up and reminded me of the early days of this forum back in October, pre-release.  And at the time we had no idea how bad the pc version was actually going to be.

 

It's hard to imagine anyone from Bio reading these pages this far past release, but I would think if anyone has the ability to shove links into the twitters or the in-boxes of the individuals who you think needs some perspective, please don't hesitate.  There's passion wasted here, methinks.

The most refined version of the same critisism shared by many low/10 review. After this much time (unfortantely prolonged by the holidays) without any communication from Bioware letting PC players think about how royally they were fucked over... I mean i would love to see their answer to this exact post.

 

Btw probably there are some reading this who are having problem understanding where this big hate is coming from. Totally reasonable, tons of people playing cheap, **** quality mmo-s in this very moment. Being easly entertained is not a bad thing. Dragon Age was just not supposed to please the masses until now.

How can you defend a guy who says " Things don't have to function", isn't that the entire point of this thread?

 

I'm so frustrated as you about the pc controls, but that guy doesnt even make sense, have you seen his others posts? 

 

He simple wants stats points, I know we lost them, but he wants JUST that. In a Bioware game.

That he can find in any other game. He doen't even like the tactics, one of the most important things we lost in this game.

[Brogan]

No, I haven't seen his other posts.  You may be right, was hard to understand.

 

You understand my point however, that even the smallest details that Bio screwed up are worthy of complaint here.  There are so many things that fall into that category.
