Welp, I'm uninstalling.  I had fun playing in spite of the crummy interface, but I just don't see myself playing through this game again.

Multiplayer is a joke.  I really don't see how it got GOTY.

Won't be buying ME4.

But its much easier, less timetaking and cheaper to make game the same on all platforms. Blizzard have own publishers which means they can polish their games as long as they want and they can do with it whatever they want, Bioware needs to listen to EA couse basically Publisher dictates developers what game exactly they want otherwise they won't publish It.

Well, Blizzard is owned by Activision, isn't it? 

 

Activision is to Blizzard what EA is to Bioware.

But terms are different becouse blizzard is still independent, its nothing like EA/bioware. Acti+Blizz made a fusion and they stayed independent as a dev studios working together and on their own with no restrictions to each other. EA owns Bioware, Activision do not own Blizzard

 

You can even notice the difference in names of company Activision Blizzard where there is still Blizzard Entertainment and Bioware-division of EA.

I'm relaxed, and so accepting of what is to become.  Why do I give 20 hoots?  Why did I give 70 dollars?  Are they equal?  I'm noticing incongruities in a game that hasn't lived up to what MILLIONS have thought it would be....?  If I complain about specific issues, then I need to relax.  Maybe.  Maybe the relaxed need to be more angry.

Best thing i read on this forum in days. B)

Sure, Bioware is a division of EA, as is stated proudly on their homepage. 

 

But don't get caught up in the naming of things. It was Activision and Vivendi Games that merged and they just thought it was cool to call it Activision-Blizzard instead of Activisions-Vivendi Games.

 

Activision is a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision-Blizzard. 

Blizzard is a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision-Blizzard. 

 

Of course that means technical independence from the parent company, but the parent company hires hand fires the board of each subsidiary, so it's more a technical separation than an actual separation.

 

Bioware is a division of EA like Black Isle was a division of Interplay. Instead of hiring and firing the board, the main company hires and fires management. A division is one step closer to the parent company, but the difference is largely negligible. 

 

For tax and corporate reasons it may be more convenient to have things one way or the other - I just wouldn't kick up too much of a fuss about perceived differences, there aren't many to speak of.

I just downloaded the 70 MB update.... What is it for? It looks like a secret hotfix or new mp routes through the utterly boring 3 maps. No info in twitter or from BW

Let us know what you find. It'd be nice if they released more fixes. Still hoping my voice gets fixed. I'm so surprised the dev's haven't released any command line or edit to a save file to toggle the voice from one to the other. *sad face*

The update is a hotfix for shields, and maybe other things (no patch notes yet so I am not sure what else is in it).

i have heard before that VGchartz numbers are not really reliable because it only counts for USA retail sales, what we need to see is world wide sales including digital sales before there is any point looking at those numbers and draw any conclusions.

You heard wrong ...

 

Below is the direct link to the source.  Clearly this is more than just USA sales.

Just had a glance at my old saves. 

  • Frame rate is the same. No stuttering while Origin is set to Offline.
  • CTD while opening the inventory screen.
  • CTD while accessing the vendor.
  • CTD while setting Iron Bull's skill points.
  • CTD while using the skill reset necklace.

 

Pretty much what I've been seeing since the patch 2. I wonder what did they fix with this patch... I did not create a new game though, maybe the results are different.

I'd say it's more than just "directionally" correct.  If you think digital sales makes up millions of units you're mistaken.  We (the PC community) are woefully outnumbered by the console units.  If you believe otherwise, I have a bridge to sell you.   ;)

You asked, and here they are: DAI Bard Songs. Free DL for the next two weeks. Enjoy!

 

Are you freakin serious?! No, Mike, we've asked for an acceptable PC Interface. That's what we've asked for!

Are we, though? 

 

PS4 has sold 18.5 million worldwide since 2013

XBox1 has sold about 10 million units worldwide since 2013

 

http://www.gamespot....i/1100-6424571/

http://n4g.com/news/...llion-worldwide

 

PCs are selling roughly 75 million per quarter or close to 300 million units every single year.

So, the claim that "we (the PC community) are woefully outnumbered by the console units" is something I'm not ready to accept so easily.

 

Where's that bridge?

*Somewhere in an office at BioWare studios, executives discuss the state of the Game of the Year, Dragon Age: Inquisition*

"So, some gaming sites are claiming that our PC experience leaves something to be desired. I don't understand, sales were amazing." 

"Yes, but apparently some people are claiming that the patches we released for the known bugs we shipped with have caused... more issues."

"More issues? Nonsense. We're just making the game perform the way it was intended. Tell them that so they quit complaining."

"We have! We don't understand why they are still mad. Clearly they simply do not understand game development. We've tweeted as much, but they claim we might have been disingenuous with our claims about the game prior to launch."

"Well of course we were! We needed to sell as many copies as possible for Black Friday and Christmas. Man, these gamers are morons. So what do they want?"

"Well, it's impossible to know. I mean, there is a 500 page thread on the forums that lists what's wrong but we really have no desire to check it out." 

"Oh... well, let's just throw them a download of tavern music and host another weekend event for the multiplayer. Gamers LOVE multiplayer! Our stats even show that they love it so much they leave games before they are done, just so they can restart a new game. They love the multiplayer experience so much that they don't even care about the rewards for completing a match!"

"Great idea boss!"

But not every PC is for gaming... Unlike consoles..

Hey I'd love to be wrong.  I've been a die hard PC geek for 30 years.  

 

Thing is, PCs are purchased for many things besides gaming.  I don't think you can make the claim that we outnumber the Console community for DA:I units sold based on the metrics you posted.  I'll give you the point that we don't have digital sales, so there's a gap in the data (we also don't have returns in those numbers).  

 

For the record, I am on your side ... the PC Community side.  Unfortunately, when it comes to BooWare and specifically DA:I, we are an afterthought.

On a sidenote they added the sheets for the songs! That's a nice point to be honest, can't wait for the youtube videos. In fact both my brother and my cousin play the guitar. I'll tell them. :)

 

Ok, my brother's tastes are quite different from me. He told me something pretty rude and possibly impossible to reproduce here with the profanity filter. :blink: Only my cousin remains. Maker help me. -_-

At least the songs are good, not like the DAI's soundtrack, which is, forgettable i'd say. Mass effect has the best soundtrack imho.
