Yes, I know a lot of people didn't like the "Galactic Readiness" system in ME3 but with Origin Games usually requiring you to be online to validate your ownership of a title, the likelihood of some kind of online feature other than multiplayer definitely seems like a possibility. With Dragon Age Inquisition having the keep as a means to track player choices, import saves, and so on it feels like we should expect some kind of web application for this game. Question is, What should it be? and How necessary should it be in order to enjoy the full scope of the game?

[caradoc2000]

There is probably multiplayer for those who want that kind of thing. Other than that there should be no online component.

it damn better NOT have anything of the sort. requiring online validation is one thing, filling our pc with useless crap is quite another. far too many games do that nowadays anyway.

 

I'm looking at YOU, Uplay. and before that we had that retarded Games for Windows Live. and don't get me started on Origin's retarded online validation crap. sitting there for 30 seconds waiting for those stupid EA servers. and if you're left too long without internet you can't play the games.

 

the pirates are the only ones prospering.

 

and the Galactic Readiness crap..........what a pointless waste of space.

What's really terrible is that the abomination will be back when the Windows 10 version of Gears of War comes out.

[mickey111]

better ****** not. I found out there were many, many gigabytes of unknowable crap clogging up the SSD I have my windows 7 installed on. I attribute much of this crap to the root kits and back doors these ****** assholes put in their games.

No, GfWL is not coming back. Everything is tied to the XBox-App and the Windows-Store.

The new version of it is.  They can't call it GFWL because of the stellar rep.  All Microsoft titles, e.g. Fable GoW, will only be available through the MS Store and you have to use the Xbox (GFWL 2.0) application.

stop trying to tie our games to pointless mini web things. I didn't even use the internet thing when I played Mass Effect 3 and I got through it just fine. I doubt I'll use Dragons Keep maybe I will don't know, but we shouldn't have to sign up for internet stuff to play our games

it's called DRM - it's the way most companies attempt to stamp out piracy and, in the not too distant future, the second-hand market for console games; you'll register the game to your account and the physical copy will be irrelevant once installed. This has already happened with PC games.

 

So we can all look forward to more of this in future - not less. :|

It's the way companies control their IP. Smarter companies are just using distribution platforms as DRM - e.g. GOG Galaxy, Origin, Steam. This allows them to pretend as if they haven't, essentially, set up a DRM system for their games while, in fact, using DRM.

Yeah but Steam regularly sells things for 50-90% off so PC gamers praise it.

Context is king.

gog

gog is the opposite of drm, and even has a share option.

Yeah - funny thing is though, as long as there's a carrot/stick approach, I'm basically fine with DRM... Steam, for instance, has some nice sales on, doesn't overcharge (*cough* Origin), has a decent server browser (Brink reminded me how bad in-game server browsers are), has friend text/voip chat, has the Workshop and Greenlight systems, in-built screenshot grabber and so on... as well as some random silly nonsense like collectible cards...
 
 
... basically there's enough there for me to be OK with the online DRM system - especially since it can be bypassed, so you can still play your SP games, if your Internet connection craps out.

Multiplayer will likely be online, but I don't think single player should be. I don't mind extra things being online though like keep and Last Court for DAI were, but important things shouldn't be.

[Ahglock]

I wouldn't mind a app tie in. I liked the Cerberus shooter app whose name I forget. But a prologue app would've sweet. Kind of like how they used the comics for the some of the ME2 stuff. Another way to flesh out areas of the story they won't be putting in game anyways outside of maybe a codex entry.

I kind of like the black ark theory on the forums right now. So fleshing out that story instead of just starting out the game with narration. Maybe have a choice or 3 that carries over into the game. Without it you decide the same choices like you picked your background in me1 at game start. Heck steal fall out shelter game play into black ark survival. Not required but a bit extra fluff and hour burning entertainment if you want it.
