Do you see a million people here complaining? or even a tenth of that? No. What we have is closer to 5% of users having bad experiences, and even fewer having terrible experiences. Bioware did release a game, some people have major bugs, others have strong opinions about design choices. Strong opinions does not a wronged party make.

190+ pages of customers complains beg to differ with you.

Great to hear that the patch is coming today.

 

 

What nonsense is this? How did developers, especially on consoles, ship bug free game software then in the past? The games had to work when they were shipped because you couldn't patch them. Just because basically anyone who plays games now has their gaming devices hooked up to the internet doesn't mean it's ok to ship bugged games because you can just patch them later. Look at Nintendo, one of the biggest developers and publishers out there, they ship perfectly polished bug free games even today when anything can be patched. The result is that their games are seen as very high quality and people will happily buy them at launch at full price.

 

I feel the complete opposite about DAI. This game has taught me a lesson: don't be an early adopter. I preordered the game, paid full price and got an unfinished product with loads of bugs. Several times my character fell through the terrain or flew into the sky and the game would infinitely reload and all I could do was close the game and restart. Conversations froze and I couldn't continue, I had to close the game and restart. Quests I'd like to do wouldn't trigger no matter what I tried. The party banter, one of the things I enjoyed the most in the first two games, was almost completely absent when I played, it just wouldn't trigger. Plus many other smaller bugs. I could have just waited until several patches were released, paid less money for the game when it was discounted, and I wouldn't have encountered all these annoyances that negatively impacted my enjoyment of the game.

 

Maybe you expect a buggy broken mess when you buy a game but I certainly don't. I've been playing games for a very long time and standards used to be much higher than today.

Actually, every single game ever has had bugs, and also on older consoles.

And Nintendo is no exception.

How long has the latest version of Pokemon been out? The game is already version 1.2.

Also, what about MissingNo in the first titles? Or Glitch City?

Every single piece of software since the dawn of time, has had bugs. That's a fact.

The reason software and games nowadays got more bugs, is because the technology has advanced far, far more. There are many more factors that plays a role in it, and this is one of the many reasons we see bugs more frequently today.

We as customers expect more and more, and since information is more widely available today, you hear much more stuff about the design of the game, the features, etc. than you did in the past. And just like forever ago, developers sadly has to cut features or change them, because implementing them is either impossible, or they just won't be able to make it before deadline. The biggest difference is that today you actually hear about this, and just a couple years ago, you didn't.

However thankfully, because patching is easier and possible today, adding these scraped features becomes a reality.

People really shouldn't complain about getting features that was scraped, and instead just be happy for it. 10 years ago, this wasn't even an option

O.K. so just to clarify, as a European player, since the game was released in Europe two days later than North America, does that mean I downloaded the game with Patch 1 already installed?

That's why we became beta testers, because of the people who defends faulty products. 

 

Not a long while ago, Jay Wilson, lead designer of the Diablo 3 got fired because of the s*storm caused by the promises they've made and the final product was not even close to that promise. Although the the current state of DAI and the state of D3 is quite different (D3 was terrible until RoS, which made it playable for most). "...made by PC gamers..." was a big promise and current state of the game says otherwise. So, it should not be a surprise to see a massive s*storm on the web about it.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love DAI. I invested more than 100 hrs already but hell, every 10 mins I cursed the moment I pre-ordered it. I did continue to play it because of my respect to the job Bioware did in their past and DAI is just beautiful if you can play. It's the last pre-order for me, for any of Bioware/EA products from now on.

 

In the end, companies should set more realistic deadlines to deliver their promises. If they can not keep it, please delay the product like CDPR does with The Witcher but never deliver a faulty product. 

 

Sorry for the long post :)

Except you have absolutely no ****** idea how good the witcher 3 is and DA:i was already delayed twice. Don't praise a game before it has even come out.

No mate, one of your companions will say "There must be something here. Let's have a look around.". That's your cue to use the search function.

The mini-map frame will flash too

You're using it for a loot function when it's meant to be a search function...if you can't find loot without the search ping you have bigger problems in life than DA:I not being as good as you hoped...for god sakes the game makes a sound when you're supposed to use the search ping..this complaint is so dumb...people spam a button they're not supposed to spam..then get mad that them spamming it is annoying.

 

Don't press V unless you hear the que for the next 20 hours of gameplay. You won't miss a single thing you care about.

 

I edited my previous post and as you can see, the submarine sonar is still horrid no matter what it was design for.. And don't let me start about the vulgar anime like effects that don't let you see your enemies during fights. Gosh!!! I've never seen so much sparkly sparkly, smoke smoke, snow flakes snow flakes together.

Just get off your high horse and drop the BS.

You just said you wanted to have beers with a guy who suggested someone should get fired because he didn't like the sound the search function they created makes...

 

and I'm on a high horse?

mainly we became betatesters because people preorder and buy the games on release over and over again. complaining in the forums doesnt change this. but hey, lets enjoy the shitstorm again and at the same time buy the fancy new star citizen ship for 350 bucks :D

The Witcher 3 delayed again yesterday. I'm not praising the game, I'm praising the attitude. Please re-read my comment.

And how do you know that its an "exaggeration" exactly? Research?

 

And we have been polite the first few weeks and people are losing their patience. I am predicting the first patch will do jack ****.

 

1 - I know because if you look elsewhere, you an see a great deal of positive things coming from paying customers myself included, nothing in my game is so bad I can't play. There are things I don't like, but it mostly works, which is more than I can say for some of the other release titles I purchased this year.

 

2 - That's a generalization followed by an opinion, one I don't share, it serves no purpose on an information based forum.

If anyone doesn't believe there is a place where the majority of people are loving this game...go to the Dragon Age reddit. It has 36,000 subscribers and 1/10th the negativity of this forum.

I came to ask the same. 

I know my timeline is different from Bioware's, but I'm not sure how different it is.

 

Thanks, I'll be waiting for this patch!

I need more banter! 183hrs in game so far and only my first gameplay had good banter =(

go through all the post on "PC community concerns" and count the number of people involved in the banter. Not that many. Just a lot of posts per people.

Bioware is still pretending the bug doesnt exist.

Who said anything about fans? The point was it has a lot of members so it's a big sample size...not that somehow 36,000 is a lot of fans...which would be idiotic to say considering the game has already gone gold which is 100,000's of copies sold..

Isn't your #1 doing exactly what you're lamenting? You're using a vocal minority to suggest everything is the way you, personally, see it.

Guys, TGA gave this game of the year.

 

No matter how bad it is, its the best game of 2014 because EA paid for it to be.

I only have two questions.

 

Running this with an i5-4670 Processor and a Gtx 760 MSI 2GB TF OC using the latest drivers and no current PC problems.

 

Will I be able to get a steady FPS at 60 even if I use lower settings? Currently I get 18 FPS on even the lowest settings.

Will the game stop crashing randomly all the damn time to the point I am 100% unable to play it? Literally every 5 minutes if that.

 

Have you fixed these two problems? If you can tell me these 2 problems have been definitively fixed, I will re-purchase the game.

 

Sounds like you're having some additional issues, though I'm not sure from where.

I'm using a GTX 660, similar processor, everything set to low (minus the mesh setting, which is set to high) and while I'm not getting a constant 60 FPS, it's never dropped below 30, and I'm normally getting high 40s to mid 50s in everything except the most populated scenes (ie;loading into Skyhold, where it wil drop to 30) and of course the cutscenes.

 

It's a pretty intensive game, but it shouldn't be that intensive.  And if I can get that kind of performance from a lower quality graphics card, you should definitely be getting better.  Sorry I can't offer any specific advice to improve your gameplay, but at the very least I hope this helps you pinpoint what is going wrong.

Im active on that forum, it's at best a couple hundred people talking with and sometimes at each other, it's not like each of the 5000 posts are from separate people.
