Devs started this thread for a constructive discussion. However, they have not participated in it. Many great ideas have been shared under this thread but we have seen no response to them and now finally someone from the team decided to stop by the thread, locked and unlocked it again.

 

What a bloody joke you guys are. Ever thought about getting some social media advisors? You have a great but rushed game at hand. We all thankful for it but how hard could it possibly be to acknowledge the current problems and share the status updates with your customer base?

First of all.. any "professional" review is paid for. That's just fact. There are a few that I trust to give me an honest review. One is" http://www.incgamers.com/

 

incGamers is one of the few sites that talked about the terrible PC port. And who actually played the game with a K&M. Another place I like to check is Amazon. You can usually tell the ones that are paid for. Especially if a reviewer just joined the site. Others are Reddit, NeoGAF. and Hacker News. And Metacritic. I know much of it is crap but there are some great reviews. You just gotta screen through all the bs. 

 

This port needs work. Everyone knows it. So does EA and BW. They knew it before launch, which is why all the game playing they broadcasted was using a gamepad; NOT a K&M. But they figured, "screw the PC gamer. We'll patch it and they' forget about by the time the DLC hit and all buy it". And they are probably right.

You don't like getting the short end of the stick? Remember this when ANY game hits. Don't buy pre-orders. EVER! You don't get anything good anyway and any goodies you do get will be available in a month for $2.99. Do your research- Ignore the hype. I know it's hard. They pay millions to sales teams to make it hard. But just remember this moment.

Essentially, what I see is a trend for "dumbing down", this game included.  Having worked in a high school recently, I can say this is DEFINITELY a bubble wrap generation.  Things must be handed to them.  Parents hover.  Make sure their babies have everything.  Don't mark my kid down on her late paper cuz she haz excuses, says Mommy.  Why wouldn't this be carried over into games?

 

Look at Civ V (vs. Civ IV).  Look at Sims 4 (vs. Sims 3).  Look at DA:I (vs. DA:O and DA II).  Look at DnD 4.0 (vs. 3.5).  Pick any MMORPG (Vanilla WoW vs. Lich King, etc ....compare Naxx if this eludes you).  All examples caged inside the terminology of "making things more accessible" (unwritten: to the bubble wrap generation).  But graphics improve so the next incarnation of the game must be better, right?

 

For this game:

-Lack of Tactics (This was a franchise defining feature and a damn good one).

-My tank won't even tank, instead, she drags her aggro over to my rogue.  Rogues are tactical machines, I send mine out to annihilate casters, always, only in this third installment Cass won't tank the big Demon or dragon, but instead runs over to "help" me or whomever I tack her to...because I can't set her to attack "Boss or higher" like in the other games, only attach her to another character.  Three firing brain cells are all that's required to set up this simple tank tactic, so it was never a difficult feature to use as a player.  Perhaps leave those with only two firing brain cells to play CandyLand, lest they hurt themselves, instead of trying to make something that was never broken "more accessible".

-MMORPG dumbing down of auto-stat assignment.  Less choices in ANY character development is bad.

-Fetch and carry quests.  Really?

-Gathering (might as well fire up Farmville or some other Facebook game...)

 

Com'n BioWare, you're supposed to be the last holdout for good games.  Don't cave to the two brain cell, bubble wrapped types now.

  Oh well sucks to be you.  Perhaps you are just outgrowing video games in general after you hit your 60th B-day?  I personally am loving it and am a die hard PC gamer.

 

Well I'm nearly 60 and I grew into video games, because they didn't exist when I was a teen, and I'm not likely to outgrow them IF they don't all become Action/FPS games.

In hindsight, I'm damn glad I bought my DAI key from g2play so not a cent of my money went to EAware.

Hey, can we please get an update on PC issues? Even just to tell us "we're working on it". We're all just starting to worry that you're ignoring us. 

I still can't play this game at all because of graphics issues (and my specs are well within the "Maximum Recommended"), let alone my issues with the PC port.

 

I really wish I could get a refund and try this game again when/if they ever fix the PC version.

 

So I reiterate: can we please get some kind of update? Bueller?

 

Edit: spelling.

Well, makes me wonder if their return policy would recognize an unplayable game at launch and still deny refunds.. I would lean towards of course they wouldn't haven't you read our reviews its #1 ha...

OK, you're crazy.

 

And I agree.

 

I am actually growing to despise that quest popup because even though I have it set to fade, it seems to always be there! 

 

This is the kind of thing mods should be able to fix. 

 

Bioware made the idiotic assumption that we'd actually want that huge eyesore on the screen at all times.  They are not going to change it in a patch now.

 

Anyone know if the modders have access to the files required for this?

Holy Crap, it's getting worse and worse in here.

 

This thread has become mostly derailed by hostile language. Please keep discussion civil and productive. Thank you.

 

Wrong.  It's become derailed because Mark Darrah, Conal Peirse, Allan Schumacher, Bryan Johnson, or any Bioware Employee/Dev has not posted anything in here for PC gamers since Dec 11th.

 

You are not allowed to discuss certain issues as a mod.  We get that.  But considering the above situation, is there ANYTHING you can discuss that would help prevent things getting any worse than they are now??  Because trust me, if another month goes by without official comment, it will.

Hey, Brogan, do you know they locked the thread last night (for me, say 12 hours ago).

 

I immediately started to pester 'them' post on three or four fan threads.  This morning, I wake up, have a coffee, check the forum and boom the thread is unlocked.

 

I like to think little me has had something to do with it, because it makes me happy.

 

Can I get an achievement, Bioware?

I have to say, I like the folks that hang around here. and the doom & gloom gives it this nice dark bar atmosphere, like a film-noir (so tired I can't tell if I spelled that right).

Honestly i think i've played like three hours in and i already wish i'd not purchased this... jesus H i thought Dragon Age 2 was bad...

 

Tactical Garbage is my most hated thing as a Rogue.. its just.. what the hell is it there for..

 

The lack of potions and the barriers that last 2 secs and do very little for me? then the lovely trip back to the potion tent (i call it the Potion tent) every battle is beyond tedious..

 

The insane stuttering in cut scenes is amazingly informative.. i changed it to 60FPS and then i had sync problems and stuttering, then 30FPS and just stuttering.. was that suppose to fix the stuttering or what..

 

Then in the Game it decides i need to Crash with DXHung something something errors that i cannot click ok too..

 

BEST RPG IN EXISTANCE!

I actually wouldn't be surprised if this is a bioware yearly thing that they take off january. Look at the bioware feed on twitter or facebook. Conspicuously they just seem to go into hiding from about mid Dec to early February. Heres to waiting til about Feb for the patch. i hear forced on steam is good its on sale right now any1 wanna play?.

Can't imagine what they were thinking with that to start with....it is completely unnecessary! Just another indication how they are trying to make the game series more "accessible". It is in fact an insult to anyone's intelligence to think we need this much hand holding. 

I guess in DA4 we will get massive neon signs above every elfroot and quest marker.

 

At the very least I would have expected them to give us an option to turn these rubbish UI elements off...

 

Sigh....let's hope the modders find a way to fix this trash...
