 While the reviews are so good to  the game. I do not understand why is there so much negative feedback while reviewers gave it so much positive feedback.

[Deathangel008]

the "professional" reviews on so called "AAA"-games are almost always good, regardless of whether the respective games are great, only "acceptable" or even bad. nothing to be surprised of.

[lichg]

The reviews kind of lied about the game, not mentioning some major issues that would make some fans of the series disapointed, to say the least.

Ign especially said how they cant distinguish between side quests and main quests and how all quest are superbly done while in reality most are generic mmo fetch quests.
in adition they praised the combat and strong rpg element which is also a big fat lie.


The forum is full of discussions of what went wrong and how to fix it if you feel like learning more.

Yeah but not all can be so biased I think. For example Angry Joe always seemed to be a fair reviewer even when devs went out of their way to please him.

I know of those issues but for a game that won game of the year(which probably rightful because the other AAA games were worse) and had tons of good reviews this game is really receiving some hate from its players. Its just very strange that a game with good reviews is as criticized as DA2 was who did not get so good reviews.

Angry joe's review seemed a tad too positive if you know what i mean..

EL oh EL.

 

The reason there is so much Hate on the forums is because all the people who didn't Get "what they wanted exactly how they wanted it" Are on the forums whining about how " They didn't get what They wanted Exactly How They wanted it". 

 

Where as the other people who are enjoying it are doing Multiple play through's and only coming on the Forum to post bugs and things that need fixing then going back to playing the game.

I'm enjoying the game but I am a little annoyed I have to test out every skill/ability to see if it actually works. There's so many bugs right now I can't imagine how they didn't address them pre-launch. Frankly it's embarrassing, their testers need to get their thumb out of their ass'.

[RawToast]

I don't think there's been that much disappointment with the game. Despite my criticisms, I really enjoyed it and think it deserved the GoTY awards. There's just quite a few things that could have been done better, and these forums are where to people go to discuss them. Negativity has a habit of sticking out as well, so it could be that.

First off, BAD ASS Winnie! I want him as my next companion with Iron bull and Sten. 2nd of all, I agree with you here. On all of it.

Angryjoe only said one bad thing about the game or should i say one flaw and that was the pathetic behavious menu but quickly brushed it off saying the ai was smart enough to take care of themselves. Yeah...

[l3loodpimp]

it's a matter of perspective,

 

    If you compare Dragon Age Inquisition to the pile of other game released this year, without taking in account any of the previous game of the series? Yes, Dragon Age Inquisition is a good game worth your 60$, not without it's lot of annoying bug/mechanics.

    However, if you compare it to a true AAA game, and it's predecessor, DAI fail to raise the bar over DAO. While it's a decent game (better in some way from DA II), there's so many thing that has been taken away from the previous game, and yet not much added in the balance.

 

   Plus, the problem do not lies in where DAI stand at the moment, but where the franchise is heading. In my opinion, a bad way. Bioware/EA will continue to release half tested/finished game, because they are too busy milking the cow.

   Sequel are good for the industry as long as it's has a purpose beside "we wanna make good/quick money out of it". Think of Mass Effect 4 (who's probably already fucked up), StarWars Battlefront.... And all the upcoming games, the franchise that you love, being watered down release after release.

 

   DLC have yet to come for Dragon Age Inquisition, but I doubt it will get any better.

I had an issue with Blackwall where I was disabling some abilities and Making other Preferred, same with Viv's and solas and it made them enter Stupid mode and just auto attack. But setting everything back to default fixed it. I will admit they do not do a horrible job on their own but they don't compare nothing to DA:O's tactics nor DA2's. I've also watched a lot of twitch on all platforms and will say the Ps4 and Xbox one seem the most fluent with the controllers. Joe loves his controllers and the tactical camera was made for them it seems. Joe can be very very critical on a lot of games even Elders scrolls online, but I thought his Dragon Age review was pretty much the same with just a tad bit watered down.

Human nature. People disappointed with things will shout much louder, and MUCH more often than those who aren't. 

 

The game is on track to win numerous Reader's Choice awards, and outside these forums and Metacritic (which is full of trolls) the response has been quite positive. Reddit's probably one of the more important forums to track and people think highly of Inquisition over there.

[lichg]

Well in his DA2 he focused on the bad and rightly so since there was a lot of bad design choices which made me think he would do the same here but in this one he was being TOO nice while ignoring the bad design choices, even some that he talked about in his DA2 review.
He did mention DA2 ofc but was being very politically correct about it.
I had to switch blackwall with casandra since his ai was simply broken. To be honest, tho, apart from using taunts and pulls wisely she gets the job done. Kind of.

Fans of a given franchise tend to be a lot fussier about particular things than general game reviewers, who have no special attachment to any specific game. Fighting game aficionados for example, can be very particular about very technical details (things like immunity frames and super cancels) that most players wouldn't even be aware of, but which are very important to them for advanced play. The more into a game a person is, the most particular they are likely to be about details that the average player would not even think about. Reviewers, not being Dragon Age aficionados, aren't likely to be as exacting in their dissection of the combat mechanics as those of us with a passion for the series are. For them, it's simply a question of "do the mechanics work decently?" For many of us it's, "Do the mechanics stay true to the play style of the previous games?"

There are many people here who feel that too much of the character customisation and tactical gameplay that was at the heart of the older DA games has been discarded in favour of open world design and action combat and that DAI is poorer for it. Speaking for myself, I find that the mess they made of combat pretty much ruins the game experience; fighting in DAI, rather than being fun and engaging, just feels like a chore that has to be endured. I don't go into battle in DAI looking forward to the fight, I go into it just wanting it to be over with as fast as possible. Consequently, as good as the graphics, writing, voice acting, music, etc. in DAI all are, the weakness of the core game mechanics in comparison to its predecessors mean I cannot give it anything like the glowing reviews the various magazines and websites do.

I'm not disappointed at all.  I do come onto the forums to chat some, but I've been mainly trying to post bugs and issues.  I've also been trying to post links to threads that are helpful.  So not all of us are here to take potshots at the game or at the company.

 

I also know that even some of the more vocal posters that have issues with the game have said that they are having fun despite the bugs.  They may have bugs that they need fixed, or tweaks to mechanics, but still enjoy the game.  Even most of the ones that aren't enjoying the game are not going out of their way to harass the folks that are having fun.

 

I know things will mellow out some around here after the New Year.  I asked one of the devs the other day and he confirmed that it's always the worst right after a game launch.  

 

Most of the character fan threads are pretty positive.  I'd honestly recommend checking those out if you're feeling a little overwhelmed with negativity.

It is an excellent game despite it's flaws. It's an excellent Arcade action game. Problem is a lot of people bought into the game expecting a PC RPG similar to the original, and the devs were saying that was what they were going to deliver right up to release date. That is why there is a schism between the reviews and forum sentiment - the reviewers are reviewing it for what it is, the fans are reviewing what they expected.

Aye tbh i think that the promises that were made along with false advertisements made by trailers,demos and reviews/previews made the backlash worse.

[Jaizek]

I'm glad they built this game the way they did even if it is more simplified. I loved DA:O as there was a lot of Tactical pausing for me and there isn't really any on DA:I only to pause in the middle of battle to go pee or grab food. The reason I am happy is I know a lot of gamers like my older brother and some of my friends who aren't the fastest players and had a tougher time even on some of the lower difficulties. This game really made it enjoyable for all levels I feel as Casual is pretty simple now and Nightmare can be a big challenge.

 

Skyrim was a tough one to beat for me but this new DA really took the spot light. I love it more then Skyrim and the fallout series as It's Dragon Age, Skyrim with companions and a better storyline(IMO)

[corpsys]

I'm not hating for some of the post i made..i really like it. And i think most of us(i hope) just want a working game whit out the bugs and and so on. The patch that came out did not help. sure it fixed some problems. But other bugs was just left out and not fixed. And  rouge double dagger.. just broke after the patch. don't know why.

[Vox Draco]

As already been said: It just seems as if so many people are complaining because they are very vocal about it. AS most others that have bought the game probably rather play it then talk about it.

 

Though of course we also had the issue of ME3, yet I am still pretty sure there it was a bit different then. Because then ME3 really WAS a dissapointment concerning quests, gameplay AND the ending. Not to speak about the advertising of THAT game... I see (mostly) no such issues here, or only very minor ones. So my first sentence seems to apply.

 

But I see these rant-threads and complaints as additional free content to amuse me during game-pauses ^^

 While the reviews are so good to  the game. I do not understand why is there so much negative feedback while reviewers gave it so much positive feedback.

 

I'd say that it's simply not the game that those who are disappointed wanted. Another issue is some initial problems, which normally should be fixed with time (but you never know with EA and people don't trust them much):

 

It's not the game I wanted, but I'm not disappointed because I've known this for a long time. At some point one has to let go.

[XxPrincess(x)ThreatxX]

This is the BSN, the same place that trashed both DA:O & ME2 at release & both are now seen as great games, is just a very negative forum so is not surprising its the only place where there's more negative feedback then positive
