    I cannot believe how disappointing this game is, particularly after the shoddy Dragon age 2.  With all the feedback you guys got, THIS is what you came up with??

 

    Putting aside the constant performance issues and crashing which is already beaten to death, lets look at what's really wrong with this game:  This is not even an Action RPG.  Everything has been sucked out to make this more of a streamlined adventure game.  Everything that makes an RPG has been torn out!  Leveling up has become just select a skill, and that's it.  There's little to no choices to make.

 

    Gear:  OMG.  EVERY RING is either increase 30% ability damage or 30% lasting longer!  WHAT IS THIS!!!!  Are you SERIOUS!!!!  How lazy have you guys become?!?!? 

 

    Combat.  What... the... hell.  Why is it when I attack a target with my rogue, an enemy target is able to walk backwards, yet my rogue is just swinging away at the air.... EVEN WHEN I'M LOCKED ON THE TARGET?  How hard is it when I click on a target, my rogue stays WITH the target?  You know.... kinda like in DRAGON AGE 2????

 

   The tactical selection part is useless.... there's no point in even going to it.  If the controls of it were the same as the first dragon age it would be perfect!!  But instead you guys made the controls so convoluted, it makes me think you WANT to make players hate this game?  You can't zoom out any farther than immediately above your party, and you can only move the screen so far away so you can't even target units that are more than a few feet in front of you, which makes this pointless.

 

    I cannot believe there are so many positive reviews for this.  I don't know how you guys did it, but you actually made a worse sequel than DA 2.  RIP Bioware.

Have you actually played the game more than an hour or two? Much of what you are claiming here is absolute nonsense.

What do you mean? This is a perfect example of a Bioware game. 

 

Glorious story, Incredible visuals (save for DAII's environments, I'll give you that), and a completely botched gameplay, overhyped by the publicity department.

This was my thought exacts.  While many people have errors and things like that, they will be resolved in time.  In terms of gameplay, the reviews have been good and a great many people really like this game.  I am sorry OP you are not enjoying the game.

Mostly true.  Particularly the more recent ones.

"Resolved in time".  You might find that acceptable in 2014.  I do not.  If I pay now for an entertainment product I expect it to be able to entertain me well now.

For myself, DA:I WAS/IS NOT an acceptable AAA $70.00 pre-purchase in it's current condition. I rarely pre-purchase games at all but this is the one game that I thought I could count on. I don't expect perfection at release but I DO expect SOME of the hundreds of self-evident and glaring issues to be addressed before release - and not 'MAYBE' after.

 

No one can convince me that Bioware's QA (playtesters) didn't mention ANY of this to the devs.

I admit I was a bit reserved in the beginning, regarding the RPG aspect of DAI. As I got farther into the story, especially at Skyhold, I was impressed (and this is coming from a DAO fangirl! ;) )

 

I'll agree with you there about the target lock (or lack of).

 

Now if only they'd fix the nvidia CTD issues...

Agreed, i mean i am enjoying the game so far but the bugs have been a pain in the backside and is why i made this thread http://forum.bioware...ers-as-testers/

 

I do not usually buy day 1 and had seen many people complain about games being sold when they are in a broken state but i loved Origins and had not had a decent RPG to play since buying my PS4 so preordered this game but now i understand the people who i have seen complain about games always being tested on the day one buyers. There are so many simple things that you would have expected to be fixed before release that are not acceptable.

The criticism about the rings is valid.... All of the rare rings seem to give a 30% boost. It does seem kind of lazy.

I agree that this game sucks compared to games we should be getting nowadays. We should be able to configure our own stats on a character from the get go. Rings and such, and all other loot, should be a lot more impressive; It's really mind-numbing--just put on stuff with the highest numbers.

 

The game looks pretty and the storyline is decent. These two reasons are why this game is still kicking. Everybody is blindly impressed by these things but the game play for a pc gamer is just not there. There should be a lot more intuition involved. It should be a lot less linear. It should be much more polished. There are more freaking bugs in this game then the new Assassins Creed. But, at least, AC is giving away free DLCs because of it. For being a game that is mainly for console gamers, that is impressive.

 

This game lacks sooo freaking much I could go on all day. If I were you I would just start looking for some indie games and some classics for some good strategic game play. There are many out there that put this game to shame. There inst really going to be anything new that will impress us for at least a couple more months. So hang in there with these:

 

XCOM--any part of the series

Aarklash Legacy

Shadow run--either the first or second

Warhammer Dawn of War series

Witcher--I recommend the first one because the second one I had a big problem with controls--however, story was decent.

Child of Light--linear but still more strategic

Dungeon Siege--either one

Grim Dawn

Diablo (not 3)

Buldurs Gate

DAO

Divinity 2

Even The Last Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor are better than this at a strategic level haha.

 

For you peeps that think this is a good game for the times GO youtube a video game called Lost Ark.

 

Peeps that settle for garbage is the reason why we keep getting games like this. We probably wont see a game like Lost Ark in the states for a Long time.

 

When and if we do, it will be the third in the series, 4th expanision, and after the 10th patch of a game that hasn't been released yet. Think about why that would be for a bit.

Are you even serious? This feels so generic.

The only thing wrong with DA2 was the environments. People blow that games faults out of proportion. DA:I is the real black sheep here. Its a game that doesn't know what genre it is, thus it has RPG elements tacked onto poorly made action game combat.

Of course there will be improvements. But that doesn't mean the problems don't exist now. I agree that the game is not as bad as the OP feels.

Aw are you upset the **** combat from DA2 changed?

DA2 suck ass and DA:I is the worthy sequel to Origins.

Must be hard to not be stuck in a corridor, not to be a messenger boy of the town and having to explore

Agreed. But it was so promising. Perhaps, it's all because of sky high expectations I had.

Bwahahahaha!

Everyone, behold this failure of a troll **** post. Looks as it tries to get at me with the petties of assumptions. Notice how he calls DA2's combat ****, even though the game was basically the same as Origins, but faster. Note the jab about how it "must be hard not to be in a corridor. Comedy gold because the market is over saturated in open world games.

I'll never understand why people with nothing to say, talk.

Exactly. There are valid complaints to be made, that mostly have to do with bugs and this whole trend of releasing a game before its ready (which is sort of unfair to lay solely at Bioware/EA's feet), but mostly the OP sounds like L2P issues.

lol ummmm, no.  I clearly specified issues as to why this is not a good RPG.  Lack of variety in gear.  Combat not very functional for melee characters.  Tactical camera and controls sucking.  Perhaps you should L2R.

Unfortunately, the combat in the game sums up Bioware pretty well. All flash with no substance. The writing was on the wall after DA2- take da:o, pair it down a bit, then make it faster and add a load of colourful explosions and ridiculous moves. Inquisition takes it to the next level.

Yeah, exactly like Origins. Minus the zerg rushing waves, the huge combat assimetry (which remains), the random immunities even by critter mooks (fire staff with bonus damage against qunari being my favorite), the MMO bosses (still want to make whoever made the Arishok one play through it), the lack of optimized friendly fire (explosive 1H sword),...

 

Exactly like Origins, true.
