Unless Bioware drop a load of acid during development and turn DA4 into a nug racing game or something...

 

Spoiler

[esper]

I think I would actually play a nug racing game.

 

As for pre-order. Depends. I will now once we get to da4. I

I think the DA2 story could have been really awesome, it just suffered from being so rushed.  If they had been able to take their time on it I believe it would have been much more widely accepted.  Things could have been revealed much more slowly, we could have seen Anders go from DA:A Anders in chapter 1 to slowly degrading to the final version in the last chapter.  THAT would have been awesome.

 

I like the whole more intimate storyline and the smaller scale rise to power, etc.  I loved the growth of the companions, how they became friends, etc.  I would love to have a game similar to that again, just with a longer development cycle than DA2 had.  I would wish that we could choose race, etc. as I prefer elves to humans, but a more personal story would be pretty sweet.

 

You've read my mind! 

[Neuro]

yusss, I shall be.  I mean, I don't know if it will be DAY 1, but I will buy it regardless of reviews/reception, most likely-- and I think that's what you're asking?

 

Bioware has, I feel, to a certain extent, earned that from me.  

 

Cheers!

Maybe? Tell me agian once DA4 announcement come out and then I'll decide.

[AedanStarfang]

Neither, I will be waiting it out for an Ultimate Edition or to see if Bioware decides to drop the PS4/ONE's at the last minute in favor of PC-exclusives or newer gen consoles.

Nope. Dragon Age Inquisition was passable. But i just don't see anything exceptional in Bioware games anymore. The Story was just plain boring. The characters are ok, but not great either. There isn't really anything offensively bad here, but nothing exceptionally great either. There's nothing that's really elevating the games for me.

In fact Bioware's biggest strength nowadays seems to be the marketing. Because they are really good at creating games with features that sound really really good on paper. With Inquisition, building up the Inquisition, sending out agents and armies, building your own castle, crafting your own weapons, exploring big regions all of these sound amazing on paper. But in the end they all turned out to be barebones features or shallow busywork. It felt like the only reason they were there was so that the marketing could say that they were there. Not because they made the game any more fun to play. 

And i am currently seeing the same for Mass Effect 4 with it's colonybuilding aspect. It sounds damn cool, but i bet it will be pretty shallow without any real impact on the gameplay.

[correctamundo]

Never done it before but will be doing it for DA4.

[Akrabra]

Probably buying day one. I don't really pre-order anymore, i don't care about the reviews for a product i just want to know that it is stable at launch. Fallout 4 is the exception, because i really want to play it right away. 

[nightscrawl]

Love DAI as I've loved all of the DA games, so yes.

[xPez]

Others have said it already but I would urge anyone not to pre-order any games, regardless of the quality. Buy it on Day-1 sure, but pre-orders are the reason why so many developers launch games half broken then spend months fixing it afterwards.

 

Look at AC:U and MCC, there's no way they would have launched broken if there had been no pre-orders because people wouldn't have bought it.

Surely the main reason is to ensure you get a copy, but in the 21st century with digital downloads and more supermarkets than ever stocking video games, is it really likely you won't be able to get your hands on a Day-1 copy?

No the reason for preordering is to get the in game bonus loot. It is rarely great, and you might not ever actually use it in game but i want it damn it!

right here, my only reason to pre-order a game is the bonus in-game loots for doing so (usually the day before release unless there's a time limit on the bonus loot)

[Andraste_Reborn]

I pre-order Dragon Age games because I want the physical goodies that come with the fancy editions. I love my Inquisiton tarot deck . The only other games I've ever pre-orded are the last few Pokemon instalments, because my local game store actually HAS run out of those on release day a couple of times. I've also got a new DS case and some cute styluses out of the deal.

 

(I've also Kickstarted a few games, but that's not really the same thing as pre-ordering.)

DAI for me was the biggest disappointment since release of Warhammer Online.

Either Bioware steps up its game, renews staff with better talents, or Im done with it. Still waiting for new Mass Effect since Im a fan of trilogy. But not interested in next Dragon Age until they they change attitude and realize that tedious MMO clone is not what people want in RPG

Yeah, I have the same feeling (I even wrote about it in some other thread, a good while ago).

Both DA2 and DA:I have left me unsatisfied. Not because they were bad games, but because DA2 should have been good, and was mediocre, while DA:I should have been excellent, and was merely good.

 

I'd love DA4 to happen in Minrathous and it's surroundings, with area size of Inqusition's maps or greater.

A fully explorable city with no loading screens (as Kirkwall should have been), but with tighter, more focused story which DA2 lacked, and with main story content constituting at least 25-35% of the game (which DA:I lacked with it's ~90% of content being side quests - most of them really dull). 

[Mirrman70]

Yes. I will.

[TheExtreamH]

but of course.

[CrabbyCrackers]

I will be buying, but what i wont do is, read all the fourms and watching videos about it before it comes out, so im not always thinking of the stuff they showed that didn't even make it into the game.

[themikefest]

I will preorder the game and the guidebook when it becomes available

[Makkah876]

Highly unlikely. I think I'll wait for fan impressions first.

Did you read the official description of what MEA is gonna be? It scared the bleep out me. It was literally, DAI: Andromeda. Establishing hundreds of colonies, finding new resources throughout the galaxy and blah, blah. I have the feeling that most of the really talented people have already left Bioware and they now are probably working for other companies. It can't be that these are the same people who developed such great, creative and interesting games only a few years ago.

[AlanC9]

I remember reading posts saying that when NWN came out.

[Panda]

No way. DAI was first game I preordered and I preordered it for PS3. Actually in local gameshop you can't even preorder, you have to reserve it for 10 euros so I did that. After hearing from US players who broken and unplayable the game was I cancelled my order, lost 10 euros though and waited out couple months until some patches. I finally got it from Denmark bit cheaper than I'd have got it from Finland: it would have been 65-70 euros here, I got it with 50 I think in the end. Even after months of waiting patches the game is and still is pretty broken. So no there is no way I'll be trusting DA team and Bioware anymore with purchase.

 

Only problem is how not to get spoiled..
