So what? The Witcher 3 won all these rewards and in order for butt kissing fans of Bioware to show their anger they post....sales reports? Um.

 

What is done is done. Witcher 3 won and no matter what you say it won't change it. 

 

So put on your big boy pants and accept it.

I do; having the DICE GOTY Award helps sway any feelings of dismay....

Like DAI then

Just ask the teens yourself. They play both these games. The feedback I got more male teens like TW3.

I don't get why people are steamed over DA not having a strong showing in a contest where the consumers have voted. The fact is, consumers have moved on from last year's games. It's weird timing that DA was included anyway. 

[Xetykins]

:PI 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.

Was talking about cobras back as he called the witcher a teen porn for having boobs and sex. I think DAI is more advanced on that part because it has all kinds of sex. Which makes dai, what? Hardcore?

I still don't get why some people here don't seem to get that roleplaying games aren't big money.

The lionshare of CDP profits come from GoG which is why CDPR can afford to do only one title.

Just to ground this in some facts so people understand where I'm coming from. The Witcher was released 2007, TW2 in 2011 and TW3 in 2015.

By comparison pre EA Bioware put out 11 games or expansions practically in a similar period. 1998-2005. Plus whatever fees they got from licensing their engines. But as an independent developer they had to do this. They had no safety net. And they were paying out licensing fees as well since none of the properties they worked on were theirs.

That CDPR has the luxury of a game and a half every four years means there's a crap load of money coming in elsewhere.

Which brings me back to my point. Rpgs don't make big money. Doesn't matter what the name is, compared to AAA sports games, shooters etc, they just don't.

Oh they make money. If they didn't they would have died out. But generally speaking, they don't make enough to influnce the bottom line of something as huge as EA.

But DAI did somehow. And that's huge, not just for Dragon Age Inquisition or Bioware, or even EA. It's huge because it's proof that a rpg title can make money in the same vein as a sports title or shooter. It's still possible it's a fluke. We'll see, but it makes me wonder if EA were to get behind say MEA, run the kind of media campaign that CDP did for Witcher, what would happen.

In the end though awards and even the fact of dai's surpising impact don't really matter. What mattersor shoukd to us here is that both games did well enough to put out extended content that was entertaining for the fans.

Having fun is the whole point for fans, everything else is window dressing.

Snerk... though outside some of the sex scenes the only skin we get is because of Cullen's bad judgement at cards .

But as I said, don't much care anymore. I've had some abject lessons lately on where my time and energy need to go.

Somehow I wouldn't find it suprising if that award is actually in your possession.

You went around asking teens if they play TW3 for porn? I know you are "specially" sour on the joystick result, but good lord. And for someone who does not play the game, you "apparently" showed special attention to why people played and loved it.
Haters gonna hate.

Actually if you're going to do that Joystick doesn't do as well as a Hugo.

This really is Star Trek vs Star Wars.

No; Bioware has the Award. I have the peace of mind that comes from them winning it.

[/thread]

The question inevitably on the voters' minds, "Why is this game from last year on the ballot?", renders this pot-stirring topic's relevance to Inquisition moot.

To be fair, the DICE GOTY Award for DAI is for 2015, so the timing seems to play havoc with the period of eligibility.

The nominees reflect the titles released in 2014, though. Same deal as the Academy Awards.

[BioWareMod02]

Hi everyone. Let's keep it civil in here. Thank you.

And the weirder thing is, in the DICE awards, DAI was a surprise win for game of the year. SoM swept every other catagory.

LOL, what are you taking about? Are their no young people in your life? Do young people get to talk in your home, or are they seen and not heard? 

 

What family doesn't know what kids like? Modern families encourage teens to express their opinions in all subjects. People have a network of families and friends that know what is popular and what is not. Show special attention is called listening  a skill that some see as a positive. 

 

So who is the hater??? and what is there to hate??? What I said is the same thing Conan was joking about. His video was priceless.

[ColorTheSky]

Oh, here it is. I was expecting a thread like this (specifically had to be on Bioware's forum, right?) after the award announcements to be used as an excuse by certain people to **** all over DAI some more. Was anyone really expecting DAI to win anything this year? Come on. It shouldn't have even been on that list.

 

But yeah, sure. Congrats to CDPR for producing best ****** material of the year.

As it was said many times, 2014 was not as strong as a gear for gaming as 2015 is. Like I said, NO game this year will get 130+ goty awards cause the competition is too stiff. You just do not want to admit to that cause that would devalue you DICE award for DAI. You only want to bring validation to opinions that support your narrative and invalidate opinions that conflict with your narrative.


Its ok though. DAI is a game that represents what you want in a RPG so it onlg makes sense that you will defend it to its core. But just know this, DAI was an anomoly. It was what it was cause of many reasons that will be fixed when DAr roles around but you fail to grasp that as well. Example, DAI with limited cutscenes was as a result of Bioware wanting to add as much content as possible. However given the feedback, it is clear that people wanted quality and not quantity. However you actually believe that DA4 will continue the trend of limited cutscenes and a dull/blankstate protagonist when those were some of the many complaints over DAI but you ignore that cause you want to live under a rock and only believe your own opinions. You as well as that Sylvius guy....
