Angry Joe released a new video presenting his top 10 games of 2014. I personally can't say much for the list in general, since I haven't played some of the games. But the number one place goes to the Inquisiton. Agree or not? If you aren't interested in seeing the video he says pretty much this:

"..mixing rich lore with a bit of Game of Thrones politics and action based combat, in addition to the tactical view. Companions are interesting and diverse, fighting dragons is nothing short of amazing and challenging and the villain threatens the entire world's existance. Fan favorites make cameos, the game even touches on the mysterious elven lore. Sure, building up the Inquisiton could've resulted in perhaps more of a epic final confotantion mission, by putting your companions and resources at risk. It fails to do that, but even so the entire journey through all of the beautiful locations and entertaining sidequests, make this a game no dragon age fan should miss. Tons of replay value.." etc.

So, my friend is playing right now and she disagrees. I am following her gameplay and posts here by members of BSN and I disagree too.

Tactical view is not a tactical view, villain is nothing spectacular, areas are too large with a ton of fetch quests. All in all, not a number one place for sure. Not to mention old gen issues, PC ui and gameplay problems, etc.

Your opinions?

[SofaJockey]

As you asked. My opinion is it's a great game:

(based on 450 hours play)

 

Most of the whining is limited to BSN.

(and some low-lifes on youtube with orientation 'issues')

 

The press keep giving out GOTYs to the game.

 

Tactical view, villain impact and fetch quest content concerns are minor quibbles.

 

Happy and agree with Angry Joe's assessment on this.

 

OP, you say you assessment is based on what your friend said?

Have you not played the game?

[Zwingtanz]

I agree with the GOTY, but it isn't saying much, 2014 wasn't a great year for my kind of games. Wasteland 2 while fun was nothing spectacular and Stick of Truth was way too short.

Angry Joe is either a fanboy of Bioware or he is being paid, he likes to say how he made a "mistake" with DA2 score yet he REPEATED that "mistake" in his DA:I review.

I'm honestly surprised this game has got so much praise. As each new DA game comes out there seem to be more and more restrictions. This is supposed to be a Role play game not a Restriction play game.

 

Don't get me wrong Dragon age inquisition is a great game but i'm just suprised that all these so called "professional reviewers" seemed to miss the glaring problems that are within inquisition

He's very inconsistent. Absolutely trashed Rome 2 while Empire got a 9.

You can see how he even talks about the new civilization game and why he didnt put it on the top 10 list  BUT he has no problem whatsoever with DA:I??? i dont buy it.

I like how anyone who likes the game is a 'fanboy' or getting paid, were as anyone who hates it is obviously correct in their assessment.

 

The 'everyone is allowed an opinion as long as it agrees with mine' mentality that is so prevalent on the internet. 

 

May I propose an alternative theory? 

 

Many people liked the things you don't like about the game, many people don't like the things you like, this doesn't make them wrong. It just means they have a different opinion.

[SofaJockey]

Not being blind to DA's first outing on Frostbite 3,

nor being unconscious of concerns from PC players:

 

Another game that delivered with polish could have nabbed GOTY.

 

But the perfect game wasn't there this year - many AAA titles were very disappointing.

 

Ultimately, if you win, you win...

This is not a matter of opinion DA:I is a factual disappointment, there are facts about it that make it an average game and a reviewer has the obligation to stay neutral to take it seriously.

 

And thats the end of it.

[katzenkrimis]

Angry Joe...the number one place goes to the Inquisiton. Agree or not?

That just means he's getting old. And more forgiving.

It certainly doesn't deserve game of the year. Well, maybe on Planet Console it does.

A podium spot in a sea of garbage.

This post has almost no facts relating to the factual disappointment of Inquisition. It also contains misconceptions regarding the concept of a "review."

 

That is all.

[Draining Dragon]

Given the other garbage the gaming industry churned out this year, Inquisition certainly deserves to be praised for not entirely sucking.

[Elhanan]

Also my GOTY. As I have posted elsewhere, by getting to wait an extra day for a physical copy to install, I avoided a lot of the frustrations seen on the forums simply by customizing the Options and Key controls before gameplay. Controls work much the same as they did in SWTOR, and my Tac-Cam works well; an improvement over some of the DA2 close encounters.

The story is what I anticipated and expected; was worth every step. The companions are very well crafted for the most part; Cole is perhaps my current fave as his performance made me care about what he thought concerning the Inquisition, judgments, choices, etc. And Morrigan was a special surprise; not what I expected at all. Good for her!

Not perfect; would have preferred to have Player control over Attributes and design, more Quickslots (eg; one per Active spell), and the prior AI from the past games. And I personally see no reason for the added inclusion of profanity, esp as it seems to break the lore of cursing read in game. Sadly, will not be seeing Iron Bull or Blackwell in the party of my games, but am used to that per ME3.

And while I am not a fan of Angry Joe, we do seem to agree on the quality of DAI.

Your 'facts' live in cloud cuckoo land.

I hope they like it there.

 

Have a minority opinion? Be my guest...

[Cyonan]

I'd put DA:I in my top 3 of the year at least, if not #1.

 

but it seems that I missed the cheque I was supposed to get from BioWare for liking the game.

thank you, your comment made me laugh and I enjoy a good laugh.

 

DA:I is not a factual disappointment. I was super hyped about the game and was not disappointed.

 

Were there some things that annoyed me? of course, I've yet to play the perfect game, but what I did like totally outweighed them and I'm playing it again.

 

Some people didn't like the tactical camera, I did, I found it very useful for the more difficult fights.

Some people missed the tactics screen and I'm one of them, I loved the tactics screen in the first two because I'm not normally a huge fan of micro managing my party, but it is not a game breaker for me, even if it might be for others.

 

Now if you were one of the people who couldn't play the game due to it crashing on launch or somthing like that, than I would agree with your argument that it is a factual disappointment for those people but you're not.

me too. not especially by angry joe because in my opinion he is entertaining (not his streams just the reviews) but a bit superficial. what surprised me most was the "review" from total biscuit because he focus mainly on comperable things like technic stuff and controls, and while he mentioned these things that are not really good he skip them pretty fast. when you look at the far cry 4 video he criticize it massivly because of a view framerate drops while in da:I the controls and ui are just mentioned alongside. a bit weird, especially because in my opinion TB is way more trustworthy than angry joe (at least after AJ's copyright strike problems)

[Scerene]

ive never liked the guy, and always thought his theatrics and over-the-top flamboyance was pathetic and embarrassing. I also remember him as a phony wannabe "crusader" for the "people" and wanting to "keep it realz" from corporate corruption, yet look at him now? Its obvious he has been bought out, not only based on his "review" of DAI. As for those who claim the whining is only on BSN, say what? There are many -many- people sharing the same opinions across the net, and even irl. Everyone i know says the same things. Isnt it telling that a new game that -just- came out is already on a "holiday" sale of 33% off? I understand its supposed to be a "holiday" sale, but that is a lot of -sale- shaved off of a game that just came out.

[baconluigi]

I 100% agree - one of my favourite games of all time and it completely met my expectations.

I've seen plenty of other major titles that came out around the same time on sale at a similar percent off during holiday sales.

The odd thing for me is that a reviewer would later bow down to what I assume must've been a lot of angry feedback (no pun intended) and "apologized" for the way he'd scored DA2. 

 

The way we feel about is a game is v. subjective. It may have tons of issues, and there'll still be fans. So if he liked it the first time around, why change his mind later? 

[Vox Draco]

So...now I guess AJ is an evil corporate sell-out because he likes to play the game and can enjoy it, and states his reasons why, and also mentions the weaknessess as well?

 

BURN HIM! ... And I also guess if he had trashed the game unfair into the waste-bin he would be some kind of hero to the usual people around here?

 

Well, while AJ surely is counting all the evil EA-Money he reeived for his evil review on the evil Dragon Age sellout, I will call Fox Mulder to have a look in this evil conspiracy, where people dare to like an RPG that is not like DAO ... the truth is out there ... no wait, its here on BSN, that's a FACT ^^

It was pretty amusing. The first thing that happened was the professional reviews came out, and all the flamers started pointing to the user score of Metacritic and saying the people's opinion was all that mattered. Then it became apparent, through other sites on the web and the vast number of Reader's Choice GOTY awards it was winning, that the majority of people had a very high opinion of Inquisition and Metacritic was an anomaly, and so they said they pay attention to Youtube gamers. Now Angry Joe has called Inquisition his GOTY...
