It could be also that people are hell bent forcing themselves on liking the game and crushing through it in hopes of finding that like. Because they loved previous DA games for reasons. Who knows. 

 

Not buying it. Nobody puts that many hours into a game to figure out they dislike it.

 

DAI is not so different than its predecessors that you wouldn't enjoy any part of it all. You clearly enjoyed many of its features since you enjoyed those in DAO and I assume DA2. 

 

What you're essentially claiming to be doing is watching a supposedly horrible sequel of some movie you liked on loop in hopes of loving it.

Then your friend points out that you've been watching it on a loop so you obviously like it. Then you order pizza and watch it again.

Well, Terodil posted an example of such behavior over in the "status of PC controls patch" thread, although I believe he was talking about a single playthrough of 80 hours. I agree that it sounds a bit crazy, but gamer craziness isn't a new thing.

i watched Hellraiser: Bloodline four times just to understand 1: how is this possible other people actually like it, 2: why on earth someone would create such abomination 

 

on topic tho... i believe "finding what they like" is a key phrase here. DA:I is an average game imho, full of unpolished features that could have been done better and were done better in games it tries to copy, instead of perfecting the original idea. it has few moments of brilliance - it's still DA, but those are very rare. you have to dig through a massive amount of meh content, go bald while fighting the UI/bugs/controls to reach them.

 

as for Hellraiser, i gave up the franchise after Bloodline, i don't care if they make something new, better or more consistent with 1st part anymore. i don't even know how many movies they made. the same happened with Thief. even if i love the setting, moments of brilliance aren't enough.

Although I love DA:I and will be playing it for a long time to come I have to disagree with you on playing a game for an extended period of time hoping that I can find something to like about it.

 

I was a big Total War fan. I played the games from the original Rome and loved them all up to Rome 2. I have sunk 182 hours into that game playing different factions trying to find something to like about it but it just bores me silly. So yeah people can plow a large amount of hours into a game hoping to find something to like.

You underestimate the irrational nature of gamers.

You underestimate the irrational nature of gamers.

But its just so ridiculous.

[frankf43]

But its just so ridiculous.

As I said earlier I've ploughed 180+ hours into a game that bored me trying to find a faction I wanted to play. Sometimes it's a case of have I got anything better to do?

[Jpudify]

1. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, PC) No shock there.
2. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3) No shock here either.
3. Super Smash Bros. (Wii U, 3DS) Nope but keep in mind this is two platforms.
4. Madden NFL 15 (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3) This franchise is always in the top 10, isn't it?
5. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS) Single platform but hey, Pokemon.
6. Far Cry 4 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC) No shock.
7. Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS) Again, Pokemon.
8. NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, Xbox One, PS3, PC) Same as Madden.
9. Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, Xbox One, PC) This one is a shock. So many bugs.
10. Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Xbox One) Also a shock - connection is awful but keep in mind this is also a single platform/exclusive.

 

Have no fear OP, its just a likely we'd see a sequel as before this list came out.

[leaguer of one]

I've never finished a game, book, tv show, or story I did not like. That's the normal thing to do if you don't like something.

I never had any major bugs playing AC:U on the Xbone. I liked the game but not as much as I had Black Flag there was just more diversity of content with Black Flag.

But I guess to me 'something better' is something not as boring. And if truly I have so much free time and so little to do that this game is my best option, then it was worth the money.

[frankf43]

You could say I got my monies worth but I won't be buying the next one. To put it into context that 180 hours was made up of small periods of time over a twelve month period. They would role out a new patch and people would say that it was better now and I'd go and give it another try and give up. I will say that I have never finished a playthrough.

Now that's dedication lol

I loved the original Rome Total War!! I also liked RTW2 though, but less because of the combat and more because of the RPG aspects lol

 

Still, there's a small difference here. It's not that comparable to DAI given the massive divergence in how different playthroughs are. In DAI you're progressing a single character, exploring the world, playing combat, and experiencing the story. The 100 hours you spend finishing the game are all tied together in that one character. 

 

I'm going on assumptions here based on personal experience, but you probably cycled through factions playing each for a few hours or so (with some more than others) in order to figure out which faction you enjoy. If you stuck around for more than a few hours then you may have enjoyed something until you realized that it wasn't as good as you thought it was. Then you rerolled til you thoroughly exhausted all the interesting options

 

So a more proper comparison would be you playing every race and class combination in DAI to figure out one that would captivate you in the story and finding that none of them fit the bill. If you dislike the combat, the story, the characters etc... then you just don't continue any of the playthroughs and you're done with the game unless you really are a masochist. 

 

I actually did the same thing with Civilization Beyond Earth. Granted it was around 40 hours or so, but I just couldn't get into it as much as Civilization 5. The issue was that I enjoyed roleplaying my civilizations as much as I could according to their historical equivalents and that substantially increased the game lifetime for me. There are only 3 factions in Beyond Earth and they were all sci-fi. The game was fun and I tried all the factions, but if I was going to sink in that many hours playing a strategy game it might as well be Civ5 with all the amazingly fun features introduced throughout the DLC cycle and such. Perhaps when all DLC is released, I'll return to Beyond Earth but that won't be a for a while.

I didn't get Beyond Earth even though I could have played it free for a weekend the other week, it just didn't appeal to me, I loved Civ 5 though.

Yeah, that was pretty much how I felt when I played Civ: BE over that Steam free weekend -- plus a couple of days until I finished a playthrough. I was kind of of surprised that so many of the new ideas didn't really work. But I wouldn't have stuck with it if I hadn't thought the game was OK.

Vanilla Civ5 wasn't that great either.

 

Patches and DLC improved combat and diplomacy and introduced more intuitive technology pathways, new fun civilizations, slightly improved AI (still a hot mess but on Immortal/Deity it's still fun), religion and espionage in Gods and Kings, as well as revamped social policy, culture, and tourism in Brave New World.

 

So I'm willing to give BE the benefit of the doubt and that it will be eventually improved enough so that I could play it.

In the mean time I'll stick to going for a Deity cultural victory as post-Revolution France while humming Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite.

Well, sure. It's all a YMMV. If I don't like something, I won't touch it. I will absolutely replay something I like until I burn my computer out before trying out something new I hate.

i love the lore of DA, and after having read all the novels and comics, for me its still a beloved setting, which is why i still play DAI. Ive managed to enjoy the game in spite of itself, but its almost entirely because i love the setting and the lore to begin with and have devoured everything thats been released so far, I really like the advisors and companions too, and find myself missing them. I have a really hard time letting go of it all just like that, but ive no intention of buying anything else from bw , because now i know what to expect from them. The game itself, is as somebody mentioned a collection of unpolished and average features, that while not unbearable, certainly arent all that fun either. I just see a lot of untapped potential in DAI, and i think its sad that this is where the franchise has arrived. Lets not even get started on the poor coding that is making computer resources go haywire. Now that ive been making some custom textures it makes it more bearable ^^ I get to feel all proud of myself   , Plus so far, i cant think of anything interesting that has been relased rpg wise. im doing another playthrough of ME

[Eternal Phoenix]

Forgive me, this has probably already been posted plenty of times now but why is this thread still going? According to VGChartz, the game on all platforms has a combined total of 3 million sells which is more than Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II sold.

 

In fact, based on this data, it's the best selling Dragon Age game yet, love it or hate it. The game has only been out for a couple of months and will probably go onto sell even more as the months progress, this thread should have died a long time ago. Also I'm amazed that the OP still hasn't been banned for his obsessive trolling across the forums...

[Asguardwolf]

Have faith i am sure they will make another

[Nohvarr]

Forgive me, this has probably already been posted plenty of times now but why is this thread still going?

Because the truth can't get in the way of a good argument![/sarcasm]

[naughty99]

 

 

The top 10 best-selling games for the month are:

 

 

I imagine those numbers are not too accurate as they exclude digital distribution which is 99.9999% of PC sales. Only way you will learn those numbers is if EA announces them in a press release.

 

However, I'm pretty sure this game would have sold a lot more copies if it was on Steam. With an installed base well over 100 million active Steam users, it dwarfs the installed base of PS4 and Xbox One owners combined. Even many small indie games have sold a few million copies.

 

Inquisition would have likely remained on Steam's top selling list for a long time, perhaps even on the top concurrent users chart as well with the long playing time and multiplayer.

But EA gets a 100% cut from Origins. There's certainly some cut-off point. It depends on the math.

Exactly, would you rather take 70% of 5m or 100% of 500k?

 

And no reason to take it off Origin store, just give us a choice as to where we buy it from. Alternately you could have purchased a packaged copy from Amazon or any retailer, in which case they are giving up even more margin.

[wolfhowwl]

EA also doesn't want to share DLC or microtransaction revenue with Valve.
