DAI is on 50% sale on Origins, I believe; uncertain of other locations. And according to the site, it is the 2015 DICE GOTY Award winner:

Nah, that edition is missing the 15$ ending DLC. Kinda like my games complete, like the Witcher 3 for example. A true winner and consumer friendly.

I do get that this whole thread was started as a bias against TW3 but what you've said is totally ridiculous. No it is not teen porn. DA:I has romance as well. Yes, it has sex scenes but no, the game does not sell for that. No threesome's either since it's your choice. Angry joe's review had a segment of about 2 mins talking about sex scenes in Witcher. What other review are you referring to anyway? 

 

 

This is the reason why these threads are so bad. It's going to be those who prefer DA:I vs those who prefer TW3. Nothing really comes good out of it.

 

Are you kidding? The thread was started by Majestic Jazz who is doing an ad for TW3 on a Bioware site

 

The question one should ask is why isn't Majestic Jazz getting paid? He should for all the hard work he is doing. This thread is nothing more than an advertisement. It adds nothing to the general discussion of the DAI game. It is more about TW3 winning awards

Not so much since this is CDProject Holding, not just CDPR. They have a HUGE revenue stream from GOG to consider as well. I don't know if they have other


That's why i don't read those reports because my brain will melt. The video I posted is the better one to look at as they broke it down to bullet points. But you see there how much they sold and made in total and net after taking off the cost of the game. Profits from other sources is clearly outlined there too. But had extensive talk about tw3 profits alone there.

Was not aware that TW3 had won the next DICE Award yet. Y'know, like other True Winners....

Seriously? Every now and then I meet someone claiming how TW3 is "only porn" or "sexist" and I wish ESRB rating would include something like IQ requirement, or otherwise a test to make sure people dense enough to claim something like that don't experience products clearly far above their mental capacity.

 

Whining that TW3 is only about/its only selling point is "teen porn" is as dumb and generalizing as saying that DA series is only about "gay romances" or "pandering to SJWs". There's much more to both of those games, which is why they are currently considered the best and most praised RPGs of 2014 and 2015.

 

Also why is it always people who have clearly never played the game that moan the loudest? Come on.

 

Whining who is whining? I'm laughing. People that think teens are not playing this are living in a fantasy world. I find your statement very entertaining.

 

You don't have to play to know who and why a group is playing a game. That doesn't make sense at all. You just ask them why they are playing it. Whining and moaning is the furthest thing from my mind. Having a good laugh is what I'm doing.

Didn't know DA competed against the Witcher in the DICE awards. Oh, but it did in the golden joysticks ... ouch.

Yes I am aware of that. Not denying it. 

 

But I am also aware that TW3 does not sell because of "Threesome Porn" like you said before. I was merely pointing out that your logic is totally flawed and close minded. That's the point I wanted to make.

Funny enough, the things I liked most in W3 were those 'porn' scenes. No offense.  :P

Strong opinion for someone who has not played the game. After 2 pts I haven't seen a single sex scene, aside from the 2 rabbits ( literally as in animal rabbits) going at it in Keira's cave.

And the boobs? Aside from the horribly battered, mutilated dead women ( CDPR did not settle for sunshine and rainbows on things like that ) and the crones transforming themselves as young women? Not a lot there.

Sex is optional just like DAI. And the boobs is the perfect visual portrayal of what the story they want to tell.

I also am not a teen boy.

Not everyone is a teen. The market is a Gaussian curve. You are not a teen so why would you know if you didn't ask them? Of course the game has a label on it for adults only. That doesn't mean they aren't playing it.

Comparing the Golden Joystick GOTY Award to the DICE GOTY Award seems unwise. Congrats on the win for the former, but would rather much rather have the latter one on the shelf....

I was talking about a market segment that i found humorous. That doesn't mean adults are not playing it. There is no closed mind or flawed logic. The fact that teens are playing it for nudity is just data. 

 

Of course there are adults playing this game for their own reason. That was not the group I was talking about or found humorous.

Honesty is a virtue. I have no problem with sex in video games. I thought the scene from ME1 could have taught a lot of movies how to do tasteful. The Witcher tends to be a little over the top for me. I don't think of it as porn, I just wonder how some of it (mostly just the almost excessive imo female nudity) really advances the narrative of the characters all that much.

Maybe I would't complain as much if they'd have shown Geralt without his pants in all the situations that I ran into in TW3 (he was either in a bath where you couldn't see a damned thing, or he got his pants on off screen.

Maybe not though.

No and nor have I seen any for the Witcher 3...any character there of.  Also that sounds like a female thing.

Interesting. Care to share how many? What percentage? Do you assume the draw would be equal?

Okay. I just have a soul deep distrust of youtube when it comes to this kind of thing. I just don't.

If my brain actually manages to kickstart to a point where anything makes sense beyond 2+2, I'll try and take a look.

I just think in general women would have more interest in seeing geralt nekid then men.

I'm really in the not all that much category as I just don't find him that attractive. People act like he's Sean Connery, and imo, he's not.

I'd have less of a problem with nekid if he'd actually gotten it where you'd see. I got treated to Yennifer's ass in the first ten minutes of the game, but Geralt managed to get out of the bath offscreen. Then there was Keira and *her* bath. I only vaguely remember the conversation, as I just came to dislike the character in general (she makes DAO Morrigan look sweet I think), but it's something about flashing her breasts as a way to say hello.

You get Geralt in a bath twice (as far as I got) and one of them the water is clear and the "camera" is looking down and you STILL don't see a damned thing.

I've gotten to the point where it's just an off color joke. I don't honestly care one way or the other except to poke fun at the fact that some of what they do is just over the top. Again in my opinion. I'm just getting too old to get self righteous about sex in video games. Annoyed and amused, yes, but not much else. Puts too many extra miles on.

:P

I really don't understand why DAI was included. Unlike most of the games it was at the tail end of its product cycle, where TW3 is in the middle, and TW3 was having a huge media blitz at the time for Heart of Stone, so it was everywhere in gaming media where DAI wasn't because it's at end cycle.

This is why the only awards I give a damn about are the Hugos and the Newbery award. And the former I really only give half a damn about.

Nah, Sutherland is cuter, and has a better voice... :)

I just don't like Geralt's voice actor, I just don't. And it frustrates me because the way the voice sounds evokes nothing for me. I've never had a voice make me feel totally ambivalent about it. There are VA that I love and loath, and I can tell you exactly WHY. Intonation, pitch, register, SOMETHING! But I get nothing at all from this particular voice actor, and that never happens to me.

Interesting data point. Visually, Geralt seems pretty plain. My avatar is my shy husband so yes I have a thing about muscles. I get that is not the norm and probably an out-liner in the data collected.  

 

When it comes to DAI, I have trouble looking at Iron Bull. It seems his head is too small for this body. Adding muscles doesn't change vertical proportions. When I look at him, I think of Nickelodeon re-runs from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Evil me!
