Shocking news I received earlier people. Seems that I might, just might, afford to buy the xbone sometimes next week. I am shocked.
Edit: couple of hours after: you know this is getting so fu.ck.ing old by now... http://forum.bioware...and-unplayable/couldn't shut my mouth anymore. Anyone who wishes to pipe in, and has a better temper than me, feel free.

Yep, I'm just too tired with arguing of the people who are either so big fans of Bioware, that they think BW is above all critic or elitist/capitalist people who blame customers. I have done that too much already so I just posted own reply to the thread and decided to ignore those people, no winning against stupidity.
I'm a PC player and really, really don't get why people would feel compelled to blame previous gen console players for this trainwreck.
It is technically possible to make a Frostbite 3 game that runs on old gen consoles and looks good and performs acceptably as well. DICE did that with Battlefield 4, the game that was used as a comparison pre-release by many people. Yes, there were less props and some rougher textures in BF4's old gen version, but it still looked good and the characters moved fluidly.
From what we knew, there was little reason to expect such a quality difference as exists in DAI between different console generations.
Presumably, EA pushed Bioware devs to use Frostbite 4, and then pushed for all-platform release knowing that the game had to be seriously nerfed for PC and new gens and horribly chopped down to fit in the old gens, memory wise etc. Recipe for failure. That's the word on the grapevine anyway. Seeing as we don't have an insider to confirm, it's what it is, hanging on the grapevine.
Even though I'm on the PC I signed the petition. I can't believe you guys have to create a petition just to get the devs to take notice.
Maybe this was posted before. But have you guys tried posting on the DAI reddit? I heard the devs actually post there.

Can I ask, what's this metal "M" icon y'all got under your profile pics? [how come I've missed that, it's the mass effect M, why haven't I got it...]

I think it's Mass Effect, first one ^^
Hmh, I wonder why I only have DA stuff. I have all ME and I have played them too.

I have a DAI icon, which I have put very little time into, and yet I don't have the first ME icon, which I put countless hours into.
Odd indeed.

The M is for the 1st Mass Effect game. I completed it 3 times on Xbox 360 yet for some reason don't have the icon. I am going to load the game, at some point later today if possible, and see if it eventually updates my icons to include the 1st Mass Effect.

Really? But they don't own the game, never did. How can Bioware send us a recognition for an Activision game? O.o I've got the old Activision disc, that'll never get recognised by BSN.

Seeing your picture there, one thing I'm gonna say, and that's final. My first playthough on xbone will be male, romancing Dorian. I don't give two hoots about me being female and really liking Cullen and Solas, I want Dorian. End of story

Sorry, I meant the M is for Mass Effect 1 which Bioware developed and Microsoft published on Xbox 360.

Bioware didn't develop ME1 it was Activision before their merger with EA. Maybe they re-released it later, I don't know about that though.
I don't think DAI is unsalvagable on old gen, cause some like me are able to play the game without game-breaking bugs. I have quite lot of bugs, but they are mostly annoying. It's just that Bioware should step up and try to aid those who have the game-breaking bugs, cause we fans can't fix their game.
That Reddit idea is quite good, cause apparently DAI devs answer more stuff on Reddit than here. But I have never used it and have no idea how I should approach it XD If someone wants, they are free to copy (and edit) the OP here to post there or make their own post about the issues, maybe devs will answer there cause the seemed to be abadoned us completely now.

Define unplayable. Sure I can run the disk. Sure, the plot goes on. Sure I can go kill stuff. But the faces are paint splotches instead of faces, the cinematics don't load, I can't make out some objects that don't belong to the background. So no, I don't call that playable. Yeah I can physically play the disc, but I can't play the game.
@octarin
Damn I feel you
This sh*t has to stop, BW has to address this issue soon or they will lose long time fans who love the lore of DA and DA games
I am one of those and I'm assuming you are too, sad to see BW treating there customers like sh*t
I just really wonder, has EA really got them by the balls THAT BAD? I mean most of them on twitter seems completely unphased by the fact that their game is the worst one yet, so I don't know what this is. I'm actually following a couple of Bioware's own CEOs and they're just living on another planet as far as games are concerned by now...
At one point I was one of those people that thought BW could do no wrong but that has changed, the way they are treating fans/customers is bullsh*t, I asked for a refund because my game became unplayable after patch3(past the refund date) so the fault was on them and I was told that I had my chance at a refund.
Idk it's too early to be getting upset before a sh*ty day of landscaping but DAMN
Keep your zen man, keep your zen... not worth it.
At this point, I haven't played since I last posted here. I have turned the disc into my coffee cup coaster. So at least it is getting some use, just not its intended one.
Having played the sp mode of DA:I on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 multiple times each. I haven't seen any major game breaking bugs sure there little bugs that are annoying like not being able to talk to Varric at the party after the Elder One is defeated. But honestly it plays great for me.
... completely unphased by the fact that their game is the worst one yet ...
Truly, I'm supportive of your wishes to highlight the sub-par experience of some last gen gamers.
But please don't present your minority opinions as facts because they are not that.

Unplayable to me would be game crashing/freezing often, disk unreadable error or saves getting corrupted at the time or something else that permits game from playing. I think graphic bugs, sound problems, text problems and other bugs/clitches can make game unenjoyable and that depends on people how much they will tolerate those. Of cource it's not good to game be close to unenjoyable because bugs though, but I think the worst is when people have unplayable games and Bioware isn't doing anything to at least fix those problems.
