No i don't hate the game but do believe it is rather flawed.

[Zulhardy]

Hmm, 15 to 17 hrs of playtime? Can't imagine anybody hating the game playing for that long. (and completing it no less)

[Imryll]

I'd hope that if I found myself "hating" a game, I'd uninstall. For me there's a lot that disappoints (instability, PC UI, search and combat mechanics), but a lot to like, as well. For instance, even with "medium water" on a now somewhat older PC I love the surf on the Storm Coast. I like for my character just to stand there and watch and listen as it rolls in. There are more central aspects of world, story, and characters I've enjoyed as well, but that pleasure just blind-sided me.

Hate is a strong word. I think it's different. The graphics are amazing. Impressive. Even though I'm not into combat heavily. I do have apperciate the way I can freeze foes. Then Iron Bull destroys them shattering them. I would have liked it if they focused more the story. It feels like half the game is combat. You do get to make some choices. I would liked more choices. But the combat protesters ..have been protesting the combat since the last game. I thought they would be at least happy.

No

[Karlone123]

I enjoyed this game more than Origins.

[Girtuoklis]

Not hated but game was kinda dull and forgettable. Main story was short, companions were worst that Bioware ever created, technical side full of bugs and gliches. Its unlikely that I gonna buy another Bioware game again.

[Althix]

no.

but i consider it flawed, empty and mediocre.

 

like BW/EA were trying to cover all "cool" stuff like open world, character customization, badass dragons, good plot, companions and li, combat and quests. However in the end never did good in any of these aspects. It is not an RPG, it is an Action game. Like turn your brains off and watch the movie. Which is fine i guess, but it would be nice to have something bigger than  that.

 

Also: Just to point out how badly quests were made - take a look at specializations quests. Copypaste, all of them.

 

Hate to say it, but DA2 on many aspects is a superior product to DAI. And DAO is just better than both of DA2 and DAI combined.

 

As an example - in DAO after you breached Denerim gates and secured the area. You can choose what to do next and what companions you want to take with you, on the final assault against Archy. And when you move through the ranks of cheering soldiers - that was and still is the best moment in the game for me. A very strong event. Just love it.

Almost the same emotional experience i had at the end of Act 2 in DA2, when you face Arishok. And, of course, magical fisting thing.

DAI? sorry i can't remember any. But i do know what i hate though. A remark of the Iron Bull about Krem.

 

So yeah sure game is good, but very weak on many aspects.

I liked the game, but by the end I felt a little underwhelmed with the main story.  I didn't quite scratch that itch for an interesting and sweeping tale.  It was a little to "side-questy" I think.  Overall, I enjoyed myself though.

[JasmoVT]

Quite enjoying although with real life do not burn tons of hours. After trying 10 to 15 hours each of several builds I am 65 hours in with my chosen first run and I have not yet started the Abyss/hearts missions of the main path. Greatly enjoying the rich variety of environments, crafting, etc. Playing on PC Laptop on Ultra with no crashing or freezing at all. Remapped 4 or 5 keys and now find the controls quite smooth to us for mouse and keyboard.  As far as side quests, "go do something, get evidence you did it, bring evidence back to appropriate person or place." pretty much defines every side quest in every RPG ever made, computer or paper so I am not sure what folks are expecting as an alternative.

[Foe-jarmer]

I'm 80 hours in and haven't even done "into the abyss" yet . although I have 100 percented hinterlands, storm coast, fallow mire, Crestwood, exalted Plains, hissing wastes, the oasis etc.... Pretty much everywhere but the emerald grave (halfway through) and Western approach (plus any locations that may pop up after completing the abyss.

I'm in love with this game. No bugs, combat is great, locations are awesome, quests are fun. There's very few things I dislike about this game. I'd rank it up there with the last of us, Skyrim and battlefront 2 for sure. Best ps4 game I've Played

[taranoire]

I really like the game, but it's a chore to get through. 

 

The most interesting bits--the main story quests, or the creepy atmosphere of Crestwood--are lost in a flood of pointless bullsh*t. 90% of the game is going from map marker to map marker, killing nameless enemies and collecting rewardless objectives. The bulk of the quests are filler and fluff, crap that Skyrim's radiant system could get away with (i.e., the game randomly generates quests and fills dungeons with enemies) but that is dull and uninteresting here. 

 

When you get down to it, there's really nothing memorable about the main quest itself, either. The best stuff--like having Hawke fight with you, or meeting ancient elves, or the Redcliffe mission where you go forward in time--are too short, too far, too few. 

 

At a certain point I looked at my huge list of incomplete side quests and felt literal fatigue.

*sees the DAI hate is mixed with Witcher praise*

 

*sighs heavily and looks off into the distance*

[robertthebard]

No, I didn't.

[elrofrost]

So many negative nancies on here. Most of the complaints I see is that it isn't DAO. I've played DAO several times and it's still very dear to my heart, but some of you people need to move on. DA:I isn't perfect obviously, but it isn't a terrible game either. The story, characters, acting, environments etc were all well done IMO. Combat was a bit wonky at times, but still better than it's predecessors. Just my opinion anyway.

What thread are you reading?. Most of the complaints are about the crappy PC controls, meaningless side quests (designed to waste time), and poor combat.

[spinachdiaper]

DAI suffers from the same type of problem that Fallout 3 had, which is if you rush the main quest the game is over before you know it. Personally I played DAI while sweeping away every possible sidequest and war room mission until it was completely clear that I had no option left other than moving the main quest forward. At about 154 hours I finished the game and when I say finished I mean there was absolutely positively nothing left to do.

[Ashagar]

I enjoyed the game and in general like the series I found dragon age as a series to be superior to the Mass Effect series if not as good as the Baldur's Gate series but that's a matter of opinion given I just couldn't get into Mass Effect II unlike the first mass effect which effective killed my interest in the series.

[VilhoDog13]

I think I'm most shocked by the "worst cast" comments.

 

For me, DA:O had a boring cast. Zevran, Oghren, Sten, Wynne, were all fairly forgettable. While I liked Morrigan and Alistair, Leliana was iffy.

 

DA2 had a decent cast, but some of them overshadowed with their overzealous nature (Anders and Fenris).

 

DA:I characters have such depth to them. They're all so well defined and distinct from one another. I never cared to bring a certain party with me in any game before. Now, my main party consists of Cole, Dorian, and Iron Bull, just because they're "my team." I can't imagine not having them. Their personalities, and eccentricities complement each other.

 

Cole, Dorian, Iron Bull, Vivienne, Solas, Cassandra, and Sera, are such fantastically written characters. (I find Blackwall a tad boring, and Varric is already known from DA2). There are several threads regarding the intense dislike towards Vivienne and Sera.

 

I'm just curious why people don't find these characters to be good characters. Personal preference, but I still find the comment interesting.

[KaiserShep]

I think I'm most shocked by the "worst cast" comments.

 

I'll always hold to the opinion that DA:I has the best cast of the series so far. All of them, in some way, put a smile on my face more often than the previous lot. Even some of the little things, like Cassandra's dialogue over Swords and Shields, easily outstrips most of the lighthearted personal moments in the other games. Replaying DA:O, and I can honestly say that Cullen is vastly superior to Alistair, and I never would have guessed in a thousand years that such a thing was possible, looking back on his previous iterations. 

[electrifried]

The game is really enjoyable and I'm on my second playthrough so yeah it's compelling playing the game. I think the best thing about it is the combat, they really made it satisfying and the best of both worlds with the tac cam as well as real time play. The war table is also a cool feature and makes the whole operation seem a lot bigger than it is. And the characters!! They are what really drives this story. I love the dialogue and finding out each character's backstories and quirks.

 

I agree the main storyline is really bland though, it uses so many generic rpg/fantasy story tropes making it really predictable. Corypheus was actually a pretty cool enemy but I think he could have been used so much better (instead of spouting generic villain-y one liners). And I thought Skyrim's main story was boring...lucky Dragon Age's lore make up for the bad writing.

 

Also, the various open worlds I think could have been linked together more to the main story. It doesn't feel like having an inquisition presence in any of those worlds even felt necessary. It was just like a mish mash of different villains doing villain-y stuff...which is nice and all but doesn't really flow well with the main story. 

 

Also the shards were a pain in the butt. Completely ignoring those ocularas on my second playthrough because they are a constant source of frustration.

[Wolfen09]

first of all for all those people playing on pc who cant believe that all the pc reviewers love the game... they are using a controller, get with the 21st century and quit using your mouse for *insert whatever god you worship here* 's sake.

 

No, i have no issues with this game.  I play console, so i have no controller issues, i have no story issues either, because its the story the developers wanted to tell, not the story i wanted them to tell.  If i wanted them to tell the story i want them to, i wouldnt be playing the game, i would be creating it.  the game's main story is done pending any dlc, get over it, nothing will change it.  enjoy it for what it is, not what you think it should be.

[keyip]

Agree with KaiserShep. The characterisation in Inquisitions is far better than the other DA games imo.

[Ridwan]

Welcome to the BSN, where every game BW releases is trashed repeatedly untill the next game is out, then its put on a pedestal & used as a example on why the new game sucks in comparison

Actually, DA 2 is still considered the worst one from the general feedback.

That's seriously not the point.

If you don't play RPGs on PC, then don't tell us what to expect and hope for.

KB and M has a much better base for RPG games, especially when it comes to stat sorting, inventory, party selection,  etc.

There is a reason why all PC-based games have a grid-designed inventory. It's easy to use, easy to sort through, you have a much better view of what you're actually carrying, etc.

Instead, we're handed this menu-into menu-into menu list of 3 items, etc., that is so obviously suited for consoles.

I don't care how the game plays on a console. Personally, I don't want to play a Dragon Age game on a console, I expect it to be PC-optimized, with deep, tactical combat, where my click-and-drag mouse and keyboard controls are actually better.

DA:O had it right, console controls and console gaming for consoles (no tactical camera), and PC optimized for PC gamers (tactical camera, full party selection etc.).

 

I play Dark Souls on a controller. And AC and Uncharted, etc.

I don't want to be limited to playing with a controller in freaking DA because they went the way of the "lowest common denominator".

 

If that's too hard to understand, and you go around telling people to "get with the program and use controller in the 21st century"....

Well then, I dunno what to tell you.

 

And that's just the inventory I very briefly talked about.

 

..

 

I don't hate the game.

It's not great, but it isn't terrible. It's "good". It's "okay. A 7-7.5/10.

But is it a disappointment?

Yep. Especially in the way that Bioware keeps moving away from their RPG roots.

The same audience and the same fans that made them big in the first place are being shoved aside in order to try and attract your COD/GTA gamers.
