Oh Dragon Age 4 will be a thing, EA won't drop a cash cow.

Shame on the forums, im going to miss the Romanced topics. Still waiting on the Chair romance Bioware.

I'm not sure this is linked to games but I may be wrong.

This seems more revenge is a dish best served cold for forums giving them feedback they didn't want to hear.

While I think there is a link from the outrage from da2 and me3 and the closing I hope bioware realizes enough they're not affecting those extremists but the fans that supported them.

I like you as a person from the limited interactions I've had with you, but I cannot in anyway agree with this or pretend not to be a little angry at your attitude. I don't want to go back to the old gen discussion as everything has been said on that topic and nothing new can come of it. But suffice to say when the company tells the people who bought the game on the old gen, told us that other than graphics nothing would be different, and then told us if we want to experience final content for the game we need to buy a new system, buy the game again with no discount, and then buy the DLC, and call it "good news," it's a slap in the face. Nowhere in their announcement was there any sense that it was a tough decision or they acknowledge that it would be frustrating to old gen players.

 

And the attitude of people who support this has generally been "good! old gen has held back my experience!" when in fact the game was originally intended to be for old gen when development started. It's a very selfish attitude and one of victim blaming, where people tell old gen users that it was their fault that they didn't get features in their current gen game.

 

No, it was Bioware tying to get revenue across five systems and capitalize on the market when current gen took off as quickly as it did. They had extra development time, they could have made the decision prior to release to drop the PS3 and Xbox360 and only make the game for current gen. They were the ones who decided to cut features so that they could sell the game to more customers, not the old gen users.

 

Why was X-box or Playstation created?

 

Ease of coding for game developpers, which led to great reduced developping times of churning out games.

Custumer loyalty to binding those games to platform.

Every few years hardware upgrade needed.  Sell, sell sell.....

Near perfect guaranteed quality.

 

The game developpers in droves embraced the new platform and understood emmediatly the pros.

For a time the PC was declared almost dead.

Why then did it survive?  One simple word "INTERNET".

 

Did the boxes provide a plus side for the consumer?  Hardly, the ease of use combined with quality guaranty is the only one I can think of.

That however did not hold the boxes back to becoming a enormous succes.

Nowadays PC and boxes are merging more and more to one platform again due to the internet.

 

I never new anything else then that multinationals are very good in being predatory.  Its their primary function.  For me the boxes qualify that title in a major way.  There weren't much plusses for the consumers to begin with.  But can you say that?  I probably will get screemed at at being a PC elitist.

 

Sorry, but I think consumers all to often set themselves up for being duped in a major way and all to often cry "victim" afterwards.

I won't bury my head in the sand and think that everything is all rainbows and unicorns. If there is another DA game, I think it will be totally different from it's predecessors and i don't mean that in a good way. the days of 100 million dollar budgets are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

My cousin who has been a software engineer in the gaming industry for 15+ yrs told me not long ago that publishers all across the industry are moving to cheaper, easier, and more streamlined games.

Well if you think about it games like Slither.io or Pokémon Go make much more money than games that required 100 mln budget like DAI,maybe the majority of people
are not interested anymore in these type of games.
