Better professional reviews yes.

 

Better word of mouth? Depends on who you are and who you talk to.

Dude, no oneis  bigger then the youtube reviewers on that and the majority of the reviews are positive.

I was just taking a look at VGchartz...

 

They really aren't reliable.

They really aren't reliable.

 

I wouldn't necessarily say that.  It depends on what you use them for.  If you want to use them to get an accurate measure of actual sales, then yes, there are problems.

 

However, if you want to use it to measure relative levels of success, I think it works reasonably well....unless someone here has access to the actual sales data (which I doubt since almost all companies keep such data under lock and key).

Considering BioWare didn't release a GOTY for Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, or Mass Effect 3 I am not sure how accurate that statement is when it comes to BioWare games for yes Mass Effect 3 did win some GOTY awards and some RPG of the year as well.

 

 

Mass Effect did have a Platinum Hits release that came with a bunch of extras and Bring Down The Sky, at least.

I thought that was only the PC release and that was the only release for the PC, my mistake.

The majority of those reviews are played with a controller. In the PC community (those with actual mouse/keyboard) word of mouth of Inquisition is not pretty.

It more mixed then bad with that.

I was just taking a look at VGchartz (http://www.vgchartz....s=0&results=200) and it looks like DA:I outsold the total sales of DA2 (published in 2011) in less than 2 months, considering the last update for global sales on VG chartz is for the sales until December 27th. Yes, DA:I is available for more consoles, but the single best selling one (PS4) already outsold the single best selling one for DA2 (XB360) too.

 

In Europe, the PS4 sales for DA:I are already higher than the PS3 total sales for DA:O, and it looks like in general DA:I will reach DA:O soon (it's already almost half way there, in 6 weeks, and I guess all the GOTY awards can only help this trend).

 

I just wanted to leave this here because I've seen threads by people worried because the game, even in PS4, hasn't been in the top-10 (or even top-20) during most weeks since launch date, some even suggesting there might not be more DA games because of this. Well, while it seems clear that Dragon Age can't compete with the sales of GTA, COD, FIFA, AC or Pokemon, it seems clear that DA:I will outsell its predecessors in this series.

 

*I still find it sad that games that change with every new installment sell much less than those that just launch pretty much the same game year after year (COD, FIFA, etc.), but I guess that's something for another, wider, discussion.

 

Well to me in other words:

 

"The reason why DRAGON AGE INQUISITION outsold DRAGON AGE 2 is...

 

better game play

 

romances were a-lot better

 

game was longer

 

more adult oriented content

 

game was available also on newer consoles".

 

Anything else I am missing?

A dev already stated that DAI is actually selling really well if I remember correctly.

Nah, I got that for my 360.
