Waste of money buying any more Bioware games as they are now clearly targeting console gamers.
Ah ah...they are targetting Next Gen console gamers. Basically giving the two fingered salute to PC gamers and old gen gamers.
And it's fitting to see EA living up to their reputation as Money Mongers. "Yes, yes, we'd like to thank all the pissants we stepped on along the way to get here."

I have to agree. It is sad. I have more fun playing Fallout TTW or modified Skyrim. Or DAO, even. It is funny how they went running downhill instead of actually improving. Yeah, DAI is pretty, but it is still not fun as DAO was. So disappointed and peeved to have wasted my money that way. I do learn from my mistakes, though. Too bad they don't.
I just read the Forbes article. I agree with everything said. I think there is a huge disconnect now between game publishers (and probably developers) and the true gaming public. They think they know what we want. They don't.
Good to know Forbes refuses to be bribe by EA giving fake good reviews.
'Dragon Age: Inquisition' As Game Of The Year Is Like 'Crash' Winning The Oscar

Did you actually read the article? The author's biggest problem with the game seems to be that he doesn't like fantasy. Or deep, engaging conversations with squad mates. I find it supremely ironic, after following this thread, that you seem to embrace the very essence of a casual console player.
Now that is impressive. Though it seems to have been tied to the DRM, so that's a relatively easy fix. Still impressive nonetheless. I know people have cited that the DRM for this game has brought about similar issues. Both sides of the debate have made some convincing arguments, but it will be impossible to know for sure without testing the differences ourselves. Something I doubt EA will sanction (the removal of their DRM).
You can try using Outcome (look it up, it's safe), and contrary to propaganda, perfectly legal to use, instead of Origin. Solved almost all stability issues for me. Or use Origin in offline mode (always) and deactivate Origin overlay.
Denuvo is another matter. I hear it's been cracked for 2 months but that's all I know.

If Forbes is doing an article on that, it's really going bad for DAI, financially speaking. Sell EA stock if you have any.

I did read the article and I am a PC gamer. I stated my opinion, which may not be yours. I find DAI boring and hate the current TAC view. This is my opinion and I do not pretend to speak for anyone else.

I doubt a post from a "community contributor" will make big waves on the stock exchange.

Oh, absolutely - which is why I replied to the post above yours, and didn't quote you 
For the record, I'm a PC gamer too.

Forbes is very trusted and read by rich people: their wives, children and extended social circle read the news about entertainment, then they talked between themselves, then they talk to their brokers...they sell..everybody follows, speculators speculate.... and so on, get the drift?

hihi i really like this one
"Or it’s ridiculously complex with a top-down combat view and a long list of queued actions and preferred behaviors that’s incredibly tedious and ultimately unnecessary except for the hardest battles or most difficult gameplay modes."
but...... but....., he said something about fetch and filler quests and he dislikes the game, so he must be right

to be honest, these people are more interested in numbers than quality. and a goty is more in numbers than a dissatisfied critic

Yes, I read Forbes myself. Most of us regular readers are smart enough to separate between an article written by one of their journalists, and the personal opinion of one of their random "community contributors" (i.e. forum members). I understand your personal desire to see EA/Bioware crash and burn after having the gall to release a game that didn't suit your personal preferences, but I'm afraid the linked post won't do it.

The problem I have is the fact that the author states that he's never gotten into ANY of the Dragon Age games. It's good that he admits it, but I think it diminishes what he writes...the entire series isn't his cup of tea, fine. For what it's worth, I agree with the title of the article regarding how laughable that DAI is garnering all those GOTY awards...guess it's kind of like bragging about being the skinniest kid at fat camp.

I really like the article, it is a honest opinion. And I agree with this sentence:

There's always the possibility for change Han Master. And to coincide with your user name I have an apropos image to describe what needs to happen to trickle down influences.

Your first point is exactly my point as well. NONE of the complaints frequently brought up in this thread are mentioned - instead the author mostly complains about the underlying concept of the whole game. It's a weird article to use as support for the complaints in this thread - but it seems that ANY attack on EA/Bioware or DA:I will do for the lynch mob.

Nope, you are mistaking me for somebody else. Read my earlier contributions. I was a capital markets and M/A lawyer myself in a past life, so evidently I don't like stock markets.
I'm all for a good economy. Let's agree to disagree on whether or not EA will be impacted by DAI mixed success.

I'm more than happy to agree to disagree, but I think the bone of contention between us is wether or not the success of DAI was mixed 
Yes, and we are entering market 'manipulation' area -to avoid legalese- if we air this conversation on Twitter for example... I do miss the days where the game industry wasn't really an industry.

How about this:
'Dragon Age: Inquisition' And The Problem With Roleplaying Games
http://www.forbes.co...eplaying-games/
The article starts saying:
" I quite like Dragon Age: Inquisition. Like Origins before it, the game is one you can just sink into for many long hours, following your quest and embarking on various adventures. The combat isn’t as inspiring as a truly turn-based game like Divinity: Original Sin or a true action game like Dark Souls, but it isn’t terrible by any means (issues with tactical camera aside.)"

Actually, his description of the stark differences between action cam and tac cam echoes what alot of people on here have said. It's a poor design, you don't even have to play it to recognize that.
As is the design of empty filler content... which I'm pretty sure has also been echoed in here many times...

2 of them were written by the same guy.
The third starts with: "Dragon Age is not a game that makes sense. For one thing, there are dragons. How do they even fly? Ridiculous." (And yes, I realise that he's joking)
What puzzles me is that these articles are linked to in a thread titled "PC Community Concerns", where the overall message seems to be that DAI is unplayable. The articles linked flat out contradicts what the majority in here are saying - they're not helping your stance, they're hurting it, by saying that the biggest problem with the game is the crafting system. Or long, tedious conversations. Or fetch quests. If those are the issues you want Bioware to be focussing on for their next patch, then by all means, keep linking to them - I was under the impression that they were not.
I definately have no issues with the crafting or the fetch questing, those i ignore like the plague. My issue is the PC control scheme sucks donkey balls.
