I want DICE gone yesterday. How do you frick up THIS hard 3 times in a row. >inb4 Battlefield 1 is good
No it fricking isn't, homosexual. And 4 is at least playable now. 3 was the last acceptable Battlefield game and it still pales in comparison to BC2
This.
Bioware is only still around because of DA and ME and they're still not putting out anything. Granted it's EA who's calling the shots but the entire Anthem shitshow proves that they need someone to hold the leash.
Thank God Larian is giving us something, otherwise I would still be eating Spidets crumbs
>Bioware is only still around because of DA and ME
SWTOR was the second biggest MMO on the market was like the third high grossing game per year during its peak.
Kind of. The open world part of the game is straight trash. The most amusing thing they ever did with that part of the game was jump puzzles for secret items. The Raids were good during its peak and the PvP was amusing if you wanted something to kill time.
It's not all bad but damn.
Btw didn't they change dev teams recently or something?

Anthem. Anthem was such a trainwreck that the dev team didn't even know the trailer existed until EA showed it off. The main reason why Bioware still exists is because deep down EA knows they have fricked up more over the years than their devs have.

Hard no.
So far I haven't met a single troony (though I believe the game has one) and the game hasn't forced me to agree with it's point of view; there's no side quest about how important accepting your homosexual son is and there hasn't been any lore changes to accommodate trannies (in the game at least, but WoC does that on its own)

Iron Bull was bullshitting you. If you didn't notice, his group was never actually accepted as being apart of the Qun. Throughout the early parts of the game, he tries his hardest to spin the Qunari as being one thing but when they show up they act and behave as something else. Where's the disconnect? Iron Bull.

Iron Bull's real name is Hissrad, which means Liar. That's his role under the Qun, to lie. When you convince him to actually stick to his team, the Qunari cut all ties with him for betraying them.

Iron Bull is a character that doesn't make any sense, he's incongruent to the qunari as they were presented in previous games and the only excuse people give for that is "oh he's a liar", okay, for what reason? He doesn't accomplish anything on it's own and he apparently doesn't relay any intel for his superiors bc there's no effect to taking him in, until trespasser there is, where he turns against you and in a completely infective attack

Because that doesn't serve any purpose. Bull's job was to get close to the Inquisition to monitor them and the state of Thedas. He approaches you and tells you he's all trustworthy and the Qun isn't all bad. That he will show you all the information the Qunari sends him. He doesn't show you all the information the Qunari send him nor does he tell you about everything he's sending back.

You think he wasn't aware of this? You believe he felt like he was the only spy in the fastest growing organization lead by a being with unknown powers that the Qunari wanted to keep an eye on? That they didn't have a secret network in place to pass along information?

Appearances. Bull having a team of non-Qunari makes him seem more trustworthy then if he showed up with a group of all Qunari. >So? He's still open about being a spy
A thief that tells you he only steals from the rich gives you a different perception compared to a thief that's known for stealing from everyone. It makes you think they have some kind of code that safeguards you.

Which never happens because he never steals or manages to be a good enough propagandist to convert anyone. >To gain information on the Inquisitor and Inquisition
But he doesn't do that. The spies already in place do that.
You're going in circles. He's a spy that doesn't relay inte, a PR guy that doesn't score a single successful case and an intelligence officer that doesn't conduct a single operation.

What other Qunari agent can tell them what the Inquisitor is, what they do, what their power is, and what they have been doing. What other Qunari agent can give them first hand account of the Inquisitor tearing a hole in the Veil, dicking around in the Fade, and fighting a Nightmare demon? What other agent can detail the Inquisitor's direct involvement in Celene's court investigations? Who else can detail the Inquisitor traveling through time and what they saw? There's a single answer to that question and its because of how they worked their way into the Inquisitor's world and adventures.

I already covered this. What effect does it have? Zero. Nothing the Bull allegedly gives the Qunari leadership matters for jackshit. There's not a single effect to him being inside the Inquisition, mechanical or lore-wise

Because the Qunari arrived to the same Qunari conclusion they always come to doesn't mean the information was worthless. The Qunari wanted to know EVERYTHING about the Inquisition before they made a move. From personal information on the Inquisitor, to the Inquisition hierarchy, to the logistics. If they didn't give a shit about the Inquisitor, Iron Bull wouldn't be there period. It's like you have never seen or read a spy thriller in your life.

They still make a move even if you didn't recruit him, so either they didn't need him or didn't need his info, he's worthless either way. >If they didn't give a shit about the Inquisitor, Iron Bull wouldn't be there period
No, they gave a shit because they sent actual spies, not just one fat moron that you can send away as soon as you meet him. >It's like you have never seen or read a spy thriller in your life

It's what I say, his character makes no sense, it really feels like some fanfic oc husbando that some female writer put in the game, it's glaringly obvious if you read his backstory, where he was the biggest, strongear kid around, but protected all others, and despite living in a society that assigns people to task they seem more suited, he was so clever and full of individuality he still got assigned to the intelligence department despite being two heads taller than everyone
DA:I had a troony and gays but all were optional. Either ignorable or you could kick them out. The troony can also die depending your choice

God it looks so fricking bad
What is it with Onions War combat? It's third person action, but there's something so dull and unengaging about it; the original GoW was a proper action game like DmC or Ninja Gaiden; dynamic, fast paced, I played the new one and was so frickin bored.
And now the morons at Bioware are turning DA into a second rate version of that
That is ancient footage from a version of the game they scrapped. Not saying it will be good cuz nu BioWare but ignore these posts they are made in bad faith
Not him but that footage is from leaked alpha footage (they are somehow in alpha after like 9 years) but the scrapped part is news to me. I'm pretty sure it's from the game they wanna release someday
>Scrapped
I've seen no rumor to say it was scrapped. But its clearly pre-alpha, that being said Bioware isn't known for high quality animation work which an action game would require
It’s funny how much BioWare shitter shatters the chud. I hope they keep making games forever just so I can enjoy some S tier seethe from Ganker babbies

There is a real sexism problem in the industry, but it's in the INDUSTRY, not the games themselves. A virtual pair of tiddos isn't sexist, stealing breast milk from the company fridge is, but the same corpo fricks who do this shit then give the platform to the useful social media idiots, who declare the problem solved once the object of their naked envy has been removed.

I have problems with this article. Not the sexism part so much as the basic logic of "everyone knows it" and "nobody talks about it"
So either there's a gigachad hyperrapist who has sexually assaulted every single person employed in the video game industry, or everyone knows it via fricking telepathy.
The editorial staff between them couldn't strike a couple of brain cells and write something like "Sexism is an open yet dark secret in the industry"? "Spoken of in hushed, desperate whispers between friends and colleagues but never addressed officially out of fear"? C'mon man the way this is written I could write "iGB Editorial team conspires to call most men rapist abetters and most women mute" and its correct.

No one cares to make a thread crying about the new game in anger, because the series is dead in the water. The games are shit and the only kind of threads Dragon Age gets are mocking of its development.
Even when mentally challenged homosexuals like you try to shill for their games the reaction is the same: mockery. Notice how much easier it is to get people to shit fling over BG3, that's because way more people care about that game.
The moral panic is coming from the left, you need only see the fact that what leftists impose upon gaming is rooted in a sense of moral righteousness (it’s immoral and bad for society to have sexy women in games, to not have diverse casts and racial characters everywhere), whereas the opposition to those things is rooted in aesthetic tastes and personal preference above all else.
so now that BG3 is a huge success, what do you think theyll do to dragon age to compete? theyre pretty far in development arent they, its not like they can do much anyway since both games play differently
>what do you think theyll do to dragon age to compete?
Bioware aren't competitors, they just ape whatever makes money. ME3 was Gears RPG, DAI was open world blandbox RPG, DA4 will be GoW RPG
If they add anything it'll be like
>what can we take away from this? >why, people love genital options and beastiality of course
where they just copy the focus on romance plotlines
>Play Dragon Age Origins as a little boy back in 2012 >Love it >Replay it multiple times over the last 11 years, it's my favorite RPG >Remember being hyped for Inquisition and thinking it was gonna fix the series after 2 >Too poor to play it on release >Years later >I finally have a good job >Decide to finally play Inquisition with my new pc >Combat is worse than DAO's >Cast is worse >You can't level up stats on their own, it's not even an RPG anymore >The open world is a piece of shit ubisoft like check list >Force myself to play it until the end as my favorite RPG gets defiled by nu-bioware design and writing
And that is why I will never trust these homosexuals to make another good game again, none of them know what made the first game special. I doubt they even have one person from the original team working on this new one, so I won't even pirate it.
>Force myself to play it until the end
I remember being fed up shortly after the mages/templars quest. I started skipping everything because I couldn't make sense with the writing and being an errand boy, rushed the main quest and closed the lid of this shit until a couple of years ago.
DA2 had gigantic issues due to having less than 1 year of dev time, new engine issues, whatever you want, but I prefer that to DAI
DA:I was one of the first games i actually dropped.
im selective with what i play. Didnt even play DA 2
bcs of the bad reviews.
coming from Origins and going to DA:I was such a disgusting feeling. it really makes you aware that people are at cultural production institutions that belong in prisons or in streets.
>people are at cultural production institutions that belong in prisons or in streets
it's the case for everything nowadays. good writing and art direction is a relic of old days
Sort of. All the talent left a good while ago, they have been shambling around making generic action games with vague RPG elements for EA for years, it's honestly kind of a surprise that EA hasn't taken them out behind the shed yet.
It will not appeal to the same audience.
I think they understood since dos2 that Larian was establishing themselves as the new crpg king, they wouldn't want to compete against them.
That's why dreadwolf will have action combat.
Baldur's Gate being a huge success is probably really good for DA4 ackshually, EA seeing that a plain single player rpg making money that isn't some live service money vampire probably gets them a lot of breathing room
I don't think they're comparable. Nintendo is way older and a lot of people that left were due to retirement or dying, everyone didn't left for other companies.
Also Miyamoto is still there
>not a single person remains that was there at the start
Fricking hell stay far away from any Bioware game. KOTOR, DAO, Jade Empire, Balders Gate... All the devs are gone that made these amazing games.
Probably replaced with SJWs and shit.
It's the same with how CDPR used to be 'normal' devs and when Witcher 3 sold well they hired loads of SJWs and the OG devs left.
It's bad because they've changed DA4 into a generic 3rd person action game, so not only can't they compete with games like Elden Ring or God of War, but they are also disappointing their core fanbase.
Mass effect and its consequences have been a disaster on modern RPGs, having a voiced protagonist with only 3 dialogue choices should be unacceptable for any half decent developer team.
2 and Inquisition have done irreparable damage to this series.
I really liked DA:O but I never bothered with anything else in the franchise. It all looked like dogshit. Don’t know how you can take a game EXPRESSIVELY AND VERY OBVIOUSLY meant to emulate and revive classic WRPGs like, ironically, Baldur’s Gate, see it succeed and then turn it into generic action-adventure (with stat points so it’s an rpg, hurr). How can you miss the point so hard? You were there, you fricking said it yourself, how you made this game because these games don’t exist anymore and were replaced by those action games “with rpg elements” and then you turn around and do literally the same thing. It’s so fricking ridiculous. At the time it was popular to blame EA but I don’t, maybe I’m not that cynical anymore, I feel like plenty of guys at BioWare are just fricking moronic. Or maybe that is the more cynical view, I don’t know.
Anyway, what fricking poetic justice that Baldur’s gate (YOUR FRICKING FRANCHISE BIOWARE REMEMBER) is now doing well by sticking to its convictions.
>Anyway, what fricking poetic justice that Baldur’s gate (YOUR FRICKING FRANCHISE BIOWARE REMEMBER) is now doing well by sticking to its convictions.
This is actually pretty hilarious.
I'm not a. DA2 defender but I'll grant it that it was at least a Dragon Age game. A shitty, half-made spin off, but with enough recognizable DA elements
While DA2 felt off, you could at least somewhat excuse it due it's nature but
Inquisition changed the look, tone sound and motif of the whole series for no other reason other than homosexual devs wanting to tear away the old
>will buy it anyways just to follow the awful story.
Lol
Andromeda couldn't even outsell ME2 or 3, Bioware is dead on the fricking water with one more flop.
>packing for a move >come across my copy of the saboteur >remembering Pandemic and all the other wonderful devs who died under EA while Bioware and DICE still live
It's really not fair
Are pawn's making a return or did the hornrimmed dangerhaired landwhales kick up enough of a stink about in the years after the first game's initial release for them to axe it?
you WILL work with and forgive the gay bald elf god (who is real unlike that human God haha) to defeat all the other elf gods (real unlike human gods) and free the elven race or some shit idk
>That grey warden armor
It's a level of moronation and incompetence I can't even comprehend. They got it right on the first game (could take implement it til 2 tho) and jsutya kept making it worse

oh frick off, i liked purple before all this troony shit
they're not co-opting it from me, purple is a cool colour that would've fitted the magic setting of the tevinter imperium
troony purple is a specific color tho, with strong blueish hues
There is no such thing as "troony purple".
There is no such thing as sodomite colors.
All colors are God's colors. And you're a subservient israelite slave for handing over anything to them just because they spammed some jpgs on twitter. Die and burn.
>contrarian opinion
Yeah bro it totally didn't become a meme and then every game started having the same generic style of logo and oversaturated it into oblivion, homosexual.
Am I the only one who remembers that there was a game named "Dragon Age" (without the origin) and that it certainly didn’t get released on 2009? Dragon Age Origin looks like some kind of remake.

>adding a subtitle to the first game in a series
why are you acting like this is standard practice or something? the only other series I can remember doing this is halo
Itt alone there's 4 examples.
Fallout also came with "A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game" as a subtitle.
Seems like you just don't play a lot of games

do you not know what uncommon means? even if you picked out 100 examples that wouldn't stop it from being uncommon compared to the thousands of game series out there that have normal naming schemes.
there was never a game only called dragon age, but they announced their new wholly own IP called dragon age back in 2004, which would be host to a slew of titles.
back then they were still talking about making a game that sounded like a vast open world where even animals would have basic routines and behaviors, specific mention about the mating behavior of dragons I remember.
pretty much nothing of that version of the game remained, and nothing of what dragon age origin ended up as was talked about in those previews, no darkspawn, no mages, and certainly no dragons being anything special connected to gods or something.
>adding a subtitle to the first game in a series

>the only other series I can remember doing this is halo
your memory is worth shit then. >shogun: total war >warcraft: orcs vs. humans >Myth: The Fallen Lords >shadow tactics: blades of the shogun >serious sam: first encounter
etc. etc.
subtitles are very common when your main title sounds very cool, but might be not totally original or memorable, or when it lacks much indication about what the game might be, not just when you anticipate a whole series of games following.
Honestly the only thing that would get me interested in this series at this point is if it was a reboot. The last two games took it in such a disappointing direction that there is no recovery unless they start it all from scrap, too much shit baggage. Even then I don't trust it would be any good.
well, good news is that bioware is so fricking wonky and fickle they might just do the right thing and try to make a good game for a change, but also, bioware is fricking shit nowadays, so who actually gives a flying frick about them burning their last vestiges of prestige and pedigree on a pile of poo?
yeah, just like it happened with the original creators of fallout.
people were not taunting the looks F1 and 2 incessantly in lieu of the turd that was fallout 3, because they were already consumed by bethesda brain rot.
no such things ever happen.
bioware is an excellent example of a modern ship of theseus, all the talents left, whats left is a bunch of bored wagies, spineless bosses and greedy suits.
>bioware is an excellent example of a modern ship of theseus
That's every dev under EA. And actually most western devs in general. DICE comes to mind for me.
It might turn out poorly but I've liked all the Dragon Age games to at least some degree, replaying Inquisition right now and am doing the descent before I do the nightmare demon.
Inquisition with its DLC is actually a pretty feature rich and great game.
I'll reserve judgment for Dread Wolf, I certainly hope it's good.
Based game enjoyer.
I feel the same way, Origins really is head and shoulders above the rest don't get me wrong, but I can enjoy 2 and Inquisition for what they're worth.
The only hope I have DA4 is that they’re seemingly going for a much more smaller scale game instead of the overly large, overbloated mess that was Inquisition.
Bioware's lucky they even still exist at this point EA has killed better companies than modern Bioware for less failures.
Bioware and DICE can't get vaporized soon enough
I want DICE gone yesterday. How do you frick up THIS hard 3 times in a row.
>inb4 Battlefield 1 is good
No it fricking isn't, homosexual. And 4 is at least playable now. 3 was the last acceptable Battlefield game and it still pales in comparison to BC2
they wont.
~~*EA*~~ values the brand more than the product.
This.
Bioware is only still around because of DA and ME and they're still not putting out anything. Granted it's EA who's calling the shots but the entire Anthem shitshow proves that they need someone to hold the leash.
Thank God Larian is giving us something, otherwise I would still be eating Spidets crumbs
>Bioware is only still around because of DA and ME
SWTOR was the second biggest MMO on the market was like the third high grossing game per year during its peak.
and it's a HORRIBLE mmo
Kind of. The open world part of the game is straight trash. The most amusing thing they ever did with that part of the game was jump puzzles for secret items. The Raids were good during its peak and the PvP was amusing if you wanted something to kill time.
It's not all bad but damn.
Btw didn't they change dev teams recently or something?
EA kept changing their vision for DA4 during development and every time they did, random people would leave.
Sorry I meant TOR lol
but yeah, Dreadwolf is fricked. I don't know if it was Anthem or Avengers that broke the camel's back but jesus christ, someone should tell the people in charge not to change horses mid-race.
Anthem. Anthem was such a trainwreck that the dev team didn't even know the trailer existed until EA showed it off. The main reason why Bioware still exists is because deep down EA knows they have fricked up more over the years than their devs have.
Are you implying this series hasn't been dying since DA2 or what?
Wouldn't say it was dying since da2. Inquisition vastly outperformed da2.
>vomit is better than diarrhea
Vomit is unironically better, wtf is wrong with you?
>dry heaving is better than just having to sit on the toilet
Ironic as DA2 was better in every way, I guess DA:I was better for its target audience (lgbts) than DA2 (normal people)
>The target audience for terrible fricking video games is normal people
homie are you trying to insinuate that dragon age 2 is good just because it fits your politics better?
Dude.
it is better, i was just explaining why you think otherwise (it's because you are gay)
Isn’t DA2 worse considering the fact that everyone is bisexual? At least DAI had straight people in it.
The mask falls off
What happened this time?
Baldurs Gate 3
Nothing of value was lost then.
They are making a God of War clone because CRPGs are dead, then BG3 comes out and steals their entire old playerbase
BG3 upped the ante. You need full nudity buttsegs to get sales now.
People had hope this would be good? Why?
DA4 is supposed to be Bioware's final chance before EA decides to kill them off.
BG3 is the spiritual successor for DAI everyone wanted, there is no way nu bioware could ever match up to that.
Do you mean DAO? DAI was garbage
Don't correct him. He's right.
I think the worst part about this is that every fricker in BG3 is a fricking elf.
>still 300% bearbroken
Chuds are never gonna let this go, are they?
I'm more focusing on the animations. Hetshit looks just as bad.
But it's cringe that you think owning up to the sodomite bestiality can make you seem any less degenerate. have a nice day.
its not a spiritual successor when it is what people wanted INSTEAD, not after.
>DAI
Damn, BG3 is that fricking bad?
>BG3 is the spiritual successor for DAI everyone wanted
>DAI
Sure as hell not playing BG3 then
You meant DAO? The only good game in the series.
Thanks, youve just convinced me not to buy BG3.
BG3 is certainly more woke than DAI, but dreadwolf will certainly put larian to shame.
>BG3 is certainly more woke than DAI
Hard no.
So far I haven't met a single troony (though I believe the game has one) and the game hasn't forced me to agree with it's point of view; there's no side quest about how important accepting your homosexual son is and there hasn't been any lore changes to accommodate trannies (in the game at least, but WoC does that on its own)
But DAI had no trannies iirc, and there were at least some straight companions like Cassandra.
BG3 everyone is gay or bisexual.
Iron Bull’s lieutenant is a troony
ok, my bad, I forgot how bad nuBioWare was, sorry.
>But DAI had no trannies iirc,
Wrong. It had one in 2014, way before they become the number one tool for agitprop
DAI had a ftm troony
DA4 will have a mtf troony from the comics
DA2 had a comic relief troony elf prostitute (that was a diffternt time)
They had one, and they have also retconned the Qunari race and turned them from totalitarian muslims into progressive liberals.
Remember when they tried to popularize #RideTheBull?
Honestly the whole game feels like a fanfic.
libs don't understand astroturfing so they think this crap would just take off organically
I do remember, but a female qunari romance? YIKES that's sexist, stop sexualizing muscular women chud
>No female qunari/dwarf romance
>But a dwarf-dwarf romance is wholesome and hecking valid
Fricking lmao, how is that not him appealing for fetish shit still? These homosexuals have no self awareness.
>The fixation on romance displayed on these forums is borderline distasteful as it is.
Hes not wrong though. CRPGs are fine being niche, they dont need to sell out to normie romancehomosexuals.
>Sell out
>When fricking BG2 is what popularized romances
What does it matter anyway, homosexual? He's crying about muh sexism and muh pedophilia, not romance itself, have a nice day
BG2 romances were not a central part of the game or a marketing point.
Romancegays like you ruined the genre. Go back to The Sims or whatever effeminate shit you like.
I love this meme because BG2 has a lot more romance content than modern CRPGs, especially other Dragon Age games
It depends, clearly more money and time was spent on the Dragon Age romances due to the graphics and animations.
And also they market the games as romance now, instead of as adventure games.
You're getting a female Qunari.
She'll be a dyke
People thought the same about Cassandra and they ended up being wrong.
Bioware hates its monsterfricker fanbase though
?
>Gaider paves the way for finally deriding womenlets
>We spit on him.
Tragic. Our promised future of eugenically breeding out the shortstack in favour of 8 foot tall amazonian women has been forever sundered.
I'm just kidding god I love short women
>They made the Qun even more evil
Kill them all
They did to them what they do to real Muslims when they immigrate to the west.
Trespasser retconned the qun again, bull supposedly only acted the way he did because he was infiltrating thedas and try to gain your trust. He switches it off and becomes a religious zealot again when ordered
Retcons after retcons. In DAO Sten is like women don't belong on battlefields
Inquisition and trespasser the leader of the qunari fighting you and fighting with them is a fricking woman with a moronic giant ass book strapped to her.
Bioware is done bro. Accept it and hope for a quick death after their next failure.
What amazes me is how badly they argue that it isn't a retcon by pretending Qunari don't understand genders
Sten literally says "you look like a woman" and he can distinguish that 50% of the population are weaker and can have babies
>bull supposedly only acted the way he did because he was infiltrating thedas and try to gain your trust
He tells you that to your face.
>race where everyone is not even named, and is called by their task

>DAI drops, now if someone doesn't feel like a thing they can be another one at will, at it's honoured too
Iron Bull was bullshitting you. If you didn't notice, his group was never actually accepted as being apart of the Qun. Throughout the early parts of the game, he tries his hardest to spin the Qunari as being one thing but when they show up they act and behave as something else. Where's the disconnect? Iron Bull.
>Iron Bull was bullshitting you.
That's just a cope, the devs have gone out of their way to tell it that the qun is transfrendly UwU
Not to mention how little sense it would make
>I'll lie to this moronic chick that she can be a dude on the Qun, that way I can get a subpar warrior and female that can't breed
Iron Bull's real name is Hissrad, which means Liar. That's his role under the Qun, to lie. When you convince him to actually stick to his team, the Qunari cut all ties with him for betraying them.
That's his role under the Qun, to lie
Why doesn't he constantly remark that the sky is yellow then?
Iron Bull is a character that doesn't make any sense, he's incongruent to the qunari as they were presented in previous games and the only excuse people give for that is "oh he's a liar", okay, for what reason? He doesn't accomplish anything on it's own and he apparently doesn't relay any intel for his superiors bc there's no effect to taking him in, until trespasser there is, where he turns against you and in a completely infective attack
>Why doesn't he constantly remark that the sky is yellow then?
Because that doesn't serve any purpose. Bull's job was to get close to the Inquisition to monitor them and the state of Thedas. He approaches you and tells you he's all trustworthy and the Qun isn't all bad. That he will show you all the information the Qunari sends him. He doesn't show you all the information the Qunari send him nor does he tell you about everything he's sending back.
The guy speaks in half truths and manipulates for half of the game.
>Because that doesn't serve any purpose.
What purpose lying to Krem has?
>He approaches you and tells you he's all trustworthy and the Qun isn't all bad
Actually no, he'll tell you he's spying for the qunari right away.
>The guy speaks in half truths and manipulates for half of the game.
Manipulates toward what? You decide his person quest with no input from him, nothing he reports has any effect because the qunari have spies in your organization regardless of whether your recruited him or not
>What purpose lying to Krem has?
To work for him. Bull talks about having the ability manipulate both enemies and friends.
>Actually no, he'll tell you he's spying for the qunari right away.
Yea, he tell that's a spy for the Qunari but he wont betray you or anything like that and show you all the Qunari information. Half truths.
>Manipulates toward what? You decide his person quest with no input from him, nothing he reports has any effect because the qunari have spies in your organization regardless of whether your recruited him or not
You think he wasn't aware of this? You believe he felt like he was the only spy in the fastest growing organization lead by a being with unknown powers that the Qunari wanted to keep an eye on? That they didn't have a secret network in place to pass along information?
>To work for him.
Which doesn't make any sense. What does Krem brings that any other normal male doesn't?
>Yea, he tell that's a spy for the Qunari but he wont betray you or anything like that
So? He's still open about being a spy, if it wasn't a videogame you wouldn't recruit him
>You think he wasn't aware of this?
Then what was his purpose in joining the Inquisition?
>Which doesn't make any sense. What does Krem brings that any other normal male doesn't?
Appearances. Bull having a team of non-Qunari makes him seem more trustworthy then if he showed up with a group of all Qunari.
>So? He's still open about being a spy
A thief that tells you he only steals from the rich gives you a different perception compared to a thief that's known for stealing from everyone. It makes you think they have some kind of code that safeguards you. When it turns out said thief has in fact been stealing from everyone, it comes across as a shock.
>Then what was his purpose in joining the Inquisition?
To gain information on the Inquisitor and Inquisition.
>Appearances
For who? The 3 trannies in the world?
>Bull having a team of non-Qunari makes him seem more trustworthy then if he showed up with a group of all Qunari.
None of that indicates a troony would be a good qualifier.
>A thief that tells you he only steals from the rich gives you a different perception compared to a thief that's known for stealing from everyone.
But he's none of those. He's a thief that doesn't steal.
>When it turns out said thief has in fact been stealing from everyone, it comes across as a shock.
Which never happens because he never steals or manages to be a good enough propagandist to convert anyone.
>To gain information on the Inquisitor and Inquisition
But he doesn't do that. The spies already in place do that.
You're going in circles. He's a spy that doesn't relay inte, a PR guy that doesn't score a single successful case and an intelligence officer that doesn't conduct a single operation.
The fact remains, the IronBull is a stupid character that doesn't make sense and only exists because he's some homosexual writer husbando
You're clearly locked into your mindset to the point you can't see the most basic of narratives. Example:
>To gain information on the Inquisitor and Inquisition
>But he doesn't do that. The spies already in place do that.
What other Qunari agent can tell them what the Inquisitor is, what they do, what their power is, and what they have been doing. What other Qunari agent can give them first hand account of the Inquisitor tearing a hole in the Veil, dicking around in the Fade, and fighting a Nightmare demon? What other agent can detail the Inquisitor's direct involvement in Celene's court investigations? Who else can detail the Inquisitor traveling through time and what they saw? There's a single answer to that question and its because of how they worked their way into the Inquisitor's world and adventures.
>You're clearly locked into your mindset to the point you can't see the most basic of narratives
Really, this is the point where you at? Desperate enough to go "actually, it's your fault my arguments don't make sense!"?
>What other Qunari agent can tell them what the Inquisitor is, what they do, what their power is, and what they have been doing
I already covered this. What effect does it have? Zero. Nothing the Bull allegedly gives the Qunari leadership matters for jackshit. There's not a single effect to him being inside the Inquisition, mechanical or lore-wise
The one difference is in the DLC and it figures into absolutely nothing except him throwing himself in front of you like every other mook in the game
All the spies and information the Qun has was done without him and happen without him.
>I already covered this. What effect does it have? Zero. Nothing the Bull allegedly gives the Qunari leadership matters for jackshit.
Because the Qunari arrived to the same Qunari conclusion they always come to doesn't mean the information was worthless. The Qunari wanted to know EVERYTHING about the Inquisition before they made a move. From personal information on the Inquisitor, to the Inquisition hierarchy, to the logistics. If they didn't give a shit about the Inquisitor, Iron Bull wouldn't be there period. It's like you have never seen or read a spy thriller in your life.
>Because the Qunari arrived to the same Qunari conclusion they always come to doesn't mean the information was worthless
Yes, yes it does, by definition. If it didn't have any worth to change anything, it was worthless.
>The Qunari wanted to know EVERYTHING about the Inquisition before they made a move
They still make a move even if you didn't recruit him, so either they didn't need him or didn't need his info, he's worthless either way.
>If they didn't give a shit about the Inquisitor, Iron Bull wouldn't be there period
No, they gave a shit because they sent actual spies, not just one fat moron that you can send away as soon as you meet him.
>It's like you have never seen or read a spy thriller in your life
It's like you've never seen or read any decent fictions so you keep trying to justify this garbage. Go back, make another about how it toatally makes sense for Iron Bull to alledgedly make up an entire pro-troony philosophy of the Qun so he could recruit this one mentally ill woman
>what do you mean the guy we trained to lie and betray BETRAYED US??
top kek
>Iron Bull was bullshitting you.
even then Bull shot himself in the foot by getting attached to the others and I think he says so himself
He probably got me fooled then, I swear DAI felt a disconnect mess most of the time
>I'll lie to this moronic chick that she can be a dude on the Qun, that way I can get a subpar warrior
I mean, a body is a body. Worse case scenario it can attract the enemy attention for a bit. Fits Bull being unortodox in his methods I guess?
>I mean, a body is a body
And why would get a worse one?
beggars can't be choosers?
It's not like there's a shortage of mercs around
It's what I say, his character makes no sense, it really feels like some fanfic oc husbando that some female writer put in the game, it's glaringly obvious if you read his backstory, where he was the biggest, strongear kid around, but protected all others, and despite living in a society that assigns people to task they seem more suited, he was so clever and full of individuality he still got assigned to the intelligence department despite being two heads taller than everyone
I didn't understand why people said they were ever muslim, their main thing was a caste system wasn't it
They were Muslim in the sense they were their own big unifying religion opposing the quasi-christian andrastianism
No that's dwarves
DA:I had a troony and gays but all were optional. Either ignorable or you could kick them out. The troony can also die depending your choice
BG3 is more woke overall because you can put a literal dick on your female character
>That's optional
Just like interacting with the MtF in DA:I
>but dreadwolf will certainly put larian to shame
Do you really believe that? DA is dead as is ME, the sooner you accept this, the better.
He was talking about wokeness moron
>Balls Hurt Gay 3 is the spiritual successor to a shitty singleplayer MMO

That's like expecting of a quadruple amputee to grow their hands and legs back.
Haven't enjoyed anything they've made since Mass Effect so I expect nothing from
PLEEEEEAAAASE LET THIS BE THE FINAL NAIL
I can't stand Nu-Bioware puppeteering the corpse of a once good company, please make it so the next one finally bombs so this fricking franchise and company can die in peace
>This game is in big trouble
Of course. Bioware went Biogay after Origins and turned towards shitty action.
>another action RPG
God it looks so fricking bad
What is it with Onions War combat? It's third person action, but there's something so dull and unengaging about it; the original GoW was a proper action game like DmC or Ninja Gaiden; dynamic, fast paced, I played the new one and was so frickin bored.
And now the morons at Bioware are turning DA into a second rate version of that
That is ancient footage from a version of the game they scrapped. Not saying it will be good cuz nu BioWare but ignore these posts they are made in bad faith
>from a version of the game they scrapped
I assume you have a source for this ?
Not him but that footage is from leaked alpha footage (they are somehow in alpha after like 9 years) but the scrapped part is news to me. I'm pretty sure it's from the game they wanna release someday
It’s been rebooted multiple times https://kotaku.com/the-past-and-present-of-dragon-age-4-1833913351
>Scrapped
I've seen no rumor to say it was scrapped. But its clearly pre-alpha, that being said Bioware isn't known for high quality animation work which an action game would require
kino jank
This is the clunkiest fricking thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
>B-BUT IT'S IN AAAAAAALFAAAAAAA
It's nuBioware. Things are not going to get better.
This is an insult to action RPGs.
So they finally will release the scrapped expansion for Dragon Age II?
Relax chuds, it's a beta
just seeing that mobile game UI make me sick
i still remember how much fun i had doing a solo rogue run. wish more games would give that feeling of power.
It’s funny how much BioWare shitter shatters the chud. I hope they keep making games forever just so I can enjoy some S tier seethe from Ganker babbies
>It’s funny how much BioWare shitter shatters the chud. I hope they keep making games forever just so I can enjoy some S tier seethe from Ganker babbies
They're making shit games and have been for a long time. What's your point ?
The hysteria they generate from you cucks is their true talent. If they simply made bad games everyone would forget about them, but instead they make the chud become psychotic and they embarrass itself on Ganker
>Wow this game sucks
>HYSTERIA! THE CHUD CAN'T HANDLE THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME

Nah more like the absolute moral panic that having a female character who isn’t attractive or is black is actually a secret plot to turn America communist

I'm not. This is the subject. The industry has been bombarded by moralism since 2014 and has suffered and been modified as a consequence of it, how bizarre that you're decided to complain only now
I’ve mocked your ilk since 2003, lurk moar. The tears of the chud are like fine wine to me, and BioWare is the vinter

Lol triggered. You and your ilk have such thin skin, anons used to be made of sterner stuff. Amusing though
Does this trolling even get you anything? Wouldn't you be happier just discussing something you want instead?
You are posting in a thread created to cry about dragon age. What does it get you?
>You are posting in a thread created to cry about dragon age.
I'm posting in a thread created to talk about dragon age, I'm sorry if you think all talk should be mandated to be positive, but that's not how it works

Exactly what I said you should try to go after, I'm discussing something I want.
And you?

>I want to laugh at chuds and I’m getting peals of it
How? The game still hasn't released and it's most notable feature so far is the complete shitshow of a production it's beem having

My only interest in dragon age is the seethe it provokes. I could care less if it’s good or not
>Why don't you discuss things you want to talk about?

Okay then
Be happy
>My only interest in dragon age is the seethe it provokes.
You mean the one thread every few months where we just laugh at the shit show that is the development of the new game? Lmao. Nice "seethe" there, my pozzed friend.

I’m eating good
Kek, THE one hundred post thread where everyone's doing nothing but laugh at the new game? Those are some impressive numbers.
Stop replying to him, it's unhinged
Pick a better hill to die on. When every senior developer is leaving en masse after seeing this game firsthand you know it's going to be shit. No one will care how many trannies it has when it has a metacritic score of 42.

>women won't speak on the sexism because they're afraid of being fired
>as the entire industry saturates with the screaming of fat ugly ho-bags crying about virtual breasts
There is a real sexism problem in the industry, but it's in the INDUSTRY, not the games themselves. A virtual pair of tiddos isn't sexist, stealing breast milk from the company fridge is, but the same corpo fricks who do this shit then give the platform to the useful social media idiots, who declare the problem solved once the object of their naked envy has been removed. All while people continue to really suffer behind closed doors.
The Liberal agenda is a worthy cause, it's a shame it's been commandeered by the same filth that ruined the right.
>The Liberal agenda is a worthy cause
It really isn't.
>dude people should just die in poverty and get gangbeat to death because lol I owned the libs
so you can go on the list of people who actually don't deserve rights and we'll just move along.
>dude we should all strive for equality of outcome
>it's best of a woman enters the workforce unqualified then another white male because diversity is our strength
>open borders and trans rights
Die.
>unqualified
holy presumption, batman!
as if there aren't women out there with degrees and trade skills that far outclass anything you'll do in your life, NEETwit.
Like I'm trying to not sound like a cringe white knight but how fricking inbred and under how many layers of mother's basement are you that this ignorant little thought percolated in your brain and you allowed it to transform into "Fact" and not "Some Stupid Shit I Came Up With."
>holy presumption, batman!
Nope, it simply a fact that if you select based off the gender and not qualification you'll get a less qualified person because jobs are rarely divided equally and therefore tye pool of women will be overall less qualified
>Like I'm trying to not sound like a cringe white knight
But you are homosexual, you are.
>but how fricking inbred and under how many layers of mother's basement
Wow, how fricking It's not even your second post and you're already projecting your problems into me
>pr-projecting!
Nailed it.
>single mention of his projection throws him into a fit
It's good to be right, again.
I have problems with this article. Not the sexism part so much as the basic logic of "everyone knows it" and "nobody talks about it"
So either there's a gigachad hyperrapist who has sexually assaulted every single person employed in the video game industry, or everyone knows it via fricking telepathy.
The editorial staff between them couldn't strike a couple of brain cells and write something like "Sexism is an open yet dark secret in the industry"? "Spoken of in hushed, desperate whispers between friends and colleagues but never addressed officially out of fear"? C'mon man the way this is written I could write "iGB Editorial team conspires to call most men rapist abetters and most women mute" and its correct.
It's just prosaic virtue signaling, pay no actual mind to it
I've never seen anyone care about the new games enough to make a thread about it. You're barking up the wrong tree, it's not 2014 anymore. There are a multitude of other games that do that sort of shit in a way more aggressive way, those are the ones that get attention.
No one cares about Dragon Age anymore, no one is passionate enough about the series to be angry about its direction, not after all the years of degradation we've seen of this franchise. At most, you'll get someone laughing at how shitty the management in nu-bioware is and that's it.
You are literally posting in a dragon age thread. Holy shit how do you live with such little self awareness
>At most you'll get someone laughing at how shitty the management in nu-bioware is and that's it
Bro, do they teach morons like you how to read where you live? That's the kind of thread we are in, no one here is shitting their pants over le hecking black lesbian protagonist in the new Dragon Age game, we're all just laughing at how shitty the development of the new game is.
> I've never seen anyone care about the new games enough to make a thread about it.
You are legitimately moronic in the medical sense of the word
No one cares to make a thread crying about the new game in anger, because the series is dead in the water. The games are shit and the only kind of threads Dragon Age gets are mocking of its development.
Even when mentally challenged homosexuals like you try to shill for their games the reaction is the same: mockery. Notice how much easier it is to get people to shit fling over BG3, that's because way more people care about that game.
The moral panic is coming from the left, you need only see the fact that what leftists impose upon gaming is rooted in a sense of moral righteousness (it’s immoral and bad for society to have sexy women in games, to not have diverse casts and racial characters everywhere), whereas the opposition to those things is rooted in aesthetic tastes and personal preference above all else.
Bioware isn't good enough to make us seethe we pity the sad shell they've become, all woke with no talent.
so now that BG3 is a huge success, what do you think theyll do to dragon age to compete? theyre pretty far in development arent they, its not like they can do much anyway since both games play differently
>what can we take away from this?
>why, people love genital options and beastiality of course
Nothing the game looks like a god of war 2018 clone in the leaked footage
>what do you think theyll do to dragon age to compete?
Bioware aren't competitors, they just ape whatever makes money. ME3 was Gears RPG, DAI was open world blandbox RPG, DA4 will be GoW RPG
If they add anything it'll be like
where they just copy the focus on romance plotlines
they will compensate by adding even MORE homosexuals trannies blacks and dykes
When it flops, everyone will be celebrating Bioware's shutdown.
cultural marxism the game

>Force myself to play it until the end as my favorite RPG gets defiled by nu-bioware design and writing
And that is why I will never trust these homosexuals to make another good game again, none of them know what made the first game special. I doubt they even have one person from the original team working on this new one, so I won't even pirate it.
>Force myself to play it until the end
I remember being fed up shortly after the mages/templars quest. I started skipping everything because I couldn't make sense with the writing and being an errand boy, rushed the main quest and closed the lid of this shit until a couple of years ago.
DA2 had gigantic issues due to having less than 1 year of dev time, new engine issues, whatever you want, but I prefer that to DAI
DA:I was one of the first games i actually dropped.
im selective with what i play. Didnt even play DA 2
bcs of the bad reviews.
coming from Origins and going to DA:I was such a disgusting feeling. it really makes you aware that people are at cultural production institutions that belong in prisons or in streets.
>people are at cultural production institutions that belong in prisons or in streets
it's the case for everything nowadays. good writing and art direction is a relic of old days
>as a little boy back in 2012
>little boy
>2012
frick im so old
I was a boy in 2010 when I played the game of it makes you feel any better and I think he didn't mean little boy to be anything but 12 Years Old
Anyone born on or after 2000 is a baby to me but that's ok
But I was born in 96
>Bioware
They still exist? Really?
Sort of. All the talent left a good while ago, they have been shambling around making generic action games with vague RPG elements for EA for years, it's honestly kind of a surprise that EA hasn't taken them out behind the shed yet.
It will not appeal to the same audience.
I think they understood since dos2 that Larian was establishing themselves as the new crpg king, they wouldn't want to compete against them.
That's why dreadwolf will have action combat.
>panics about leftists
Delicious. The only one here screeching about the state of society is you.
Baldur's Gate being a huge success is probably really good for DA4 ackshually, EA seeing that a plain single player rpg making money that isn't some live service money vampire probably gets them a lot of breathing room
Bioware doesn't have what it takes to make a crpg anymore everyone is gone from the BG2, Kotor and DAO teams.
I think everyone is gone, period. Even the companies founders left, not a single person remains that was there at the start
That’s the nature of time. No one is left at Nintendo from when the company was founded
I don't think they're comparable. Nintendo is way older and a lot of people that left were due to retirement or dying, everyone didn't left for other companies.
Also Miyamoto is still there
>not a single person remains that was there at the start
Fricking hell stay far away from any Bioware game. KOTOR, DAO, Jade Empire, Balders Gate... All the devs are gone that made these amazing games.
Probably replaced with SJWs and shit.
It's the same with how CDPR used to be 'normal' devs and when Witcher 3 sold well they hired loads of SJWs and the OG devs left.
The old guys can see the writing on the wall they know DA4 will be the end of Bioware
It's bad because they've changed DA4 into a generic 3rd person action game, so not only can't they compete with games like Elden Ring or God of War, but they are also disappointing their core fanbase.
>their core fanbase.
Their core fanbase are tumblerina troons at this point
Vaporware
Why doesn't EA just kill them. I saw the leak. Warrior in full plate does a wrestling FLYING double leg kick.
WHAT THE FRICK WERE THEY THINKING
The only good game in this series is DAO. DA2 is serviceable but pretty mid. DAI is absolute trash.
Mass effect and its consequences have been a disaster on modern RPGs, having a voiced protagonist with only 3 dialogue choices should be unacceptable for any half decent developer team.
2 and Inquisition have done irreparable damage to this series.
I thought they were making ME4
They already did. It was terrible.
It will see on the strength of the Bioware brand alone.
Just like ME3, Inquisition and Andromeda and Anthem.
But half of those were failures
You think Gamescom will be a no show again?
I like how the news related to this are "Dragon Age [insert any job position] leave the company" since years.
I really liked DA:O but I never bothered with anything else in the franchise. It all looked like dogshit. Don’t know how you can take a game EXPRESSIVELY AND VERY OBVIOUSLY meant to emulate and revive classic WRPGs like, ironically, Baldur’s Gate, see it succeed and then turn it into generic action-adventure (with stat points so it’s an rpg, hurr). How can you miss the point so hard? You were there, you fricking said it yourself, how you made this game because these games don’t exist anymore and were replaced by those action games “with rpg elements” and then you turn around and do literally the same thing. It’s so fricking ridiculous. At the time it was popular to blame EA but I don’t, maybe I’m not that cynical anymore, I feel like plenty of guys at BioWare are just fricking moronic. Or maybe that is the more cynical view, I don’t know.
Anyway, what fricking poetic justice that Baldur’s gate (YOUR FRICKING FRANCHISE BIOWARE REMEMBER) is now doing well by sticking to its convictions.
>Anyway, what fricking poetic justice that Baldur’s gate (YOUR FRICKING FRANCHISE BIOWARE REMEMBER) is now doing well by sticking to its convictions.
This is actually pretty hilarious.
>all this retconning that DA2 is actually not a bad game
lmao, I bet you gays will also claim inquisition isnt all that bad once DA4 comes out
I'm not a. DA2 defender but I'll grant it that it was at least a Dragon Age game. A shitty, half-made spin off, but with enough recognizable DA elements
While DA2 felt off, you could at least somewhat excuse it due it's nature but
Inquisition changed the look, tone sound and motif of the whole series for no other reason other than homosexual devs wanting to tear away the old
>Everyone is the same person with the same opinion
Epler is an unhinged hack and I don't expect any good story with his name attached
No it's not, rpg fans are disgusting morons obsessed with interpersonal drama and will buy it anyways just to follow the awful story.
>will buy it anyways just to follow the awful story.
Lol
Andromeda couldn't even outsell ME2 or 3, Bioware is dead on the fricking water with one more flop.
>packing for a move
>come across my copy of the saboteur
>remembering Pandemic and all the other wonderful devs who died under EA while Bioware and DICE still live
It's really not fair
>playing anything beyond base game origins
Lol. Lmao even.
Couldn't they see there was a massively undeserved market with CRPGs, especially ones that look good.
Are pawn's making a return or did the hornrimmed dangerhaired landwhales kick up enough of a stink about in the years after the first game's initial release for them to axe it?
Wrong Dragon game, anon.
The DD2 thread is two doors down.
Wrong game.
DA4 is set up to be about killing elves, so how are they going to frick it up?
By not killing Elves?
you WILL work with and forgive the gay bald elf god (who is real unlike that human God haha) to defeat all the other elf gods (real unlike human gods) and free the elven race or some shit idk
>the sterile non-stylized logo
yep, i'm calling no sovl
Do you prefer that or the troony purple they changed it to last year?
Something like pic related.
>That grey warden armor
It's a level of moronation and incompetence I can't even comprehend. They got it right on the first game (could take implement it til 2 tho) and jsutya kept making it worse
A metaphor for the whole franchise really
Not actually in the game. That's from the Origins CGI trailer.
That armor was only seen in Dragon Age 2 and obtainable in the Legacy DLC.
Learn to read anon
>Eyes up, Greyrdian
>That Darkspawn came from the Moon.
>Only two armor slots
Lel
>shield clips through arm
>armor is overdesigns mess made by someone with no idea what armor looks like
>item level shit
>character's face screams "I was designed by Californians please punch me off of this man's head"
>troony purple
oh frick off, i liked purple before all this troony shit
they're not co-opting it from me, purple is a cool colour that would've fitted the magic setting of the tevinter imperium
troony purple is a specific color tho, with strong blueish hues
There is no such thing as "troony purple".
There is no such thing as sodomite colors.
All colors are God's colors. And you're a subservient israelite slave for handing over anything to them just because they spammed some jpgs on twitter. Die and burn.
Are you saying that Dragon Age is competition for BG3?
lmao
What? I mean the franchise is because everything past the first game started shitting the bed, but what do you mean by "this game"?
Dreadwolf? Or whatever it's named. DA4 basically. It was announced a while ago.
Well yeah, but that's not the logo for Dreadworlf. The Dreadwolf logo is that vomit-inducing purple/pink nu-wave aesthetic.
>vomit-inducing purple/pink nu-wave aesthetic
That contrarian opinion is cute, considering this place helped push that trend.
>contrarian opinion
Yeah bro it totally didn't become a meme and then every game started having the same generic style of logo and oversaturated it into oblivion, homosexual.
Am I the only one who remembers that there was a game named "Dragon Age" (without the origin) and that it certainly didn’t get released on 2009? Dragon Age Origin looks like some kind of remake.
/discuss
Yes you are the only one
Ok I guess the CERN rumour wasn’t really a rumour
>have faulty memory
>conclude that it must scientists unweaving the timeline
lmao moron
Huh?
What? Dragon Age is the franchise, Origin is the first game. The origin as it were. Are you thinking of Mass Effect?
>adding a subtitle to the first game in a series
why are you acting like this is standard practice or something? the only other series I can remember doing this is halo
I'm not acting like anything buddy, merely pointing out a fact.
>why are you acting like this is standard practice or something?
Why are you acting like it's uncommon?
because it is, moron
Itt alone there's 4 examples.
Fallout also came with "A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game" as a subtitle.
Seems like you just don't play a lot of games
do you not know what uncommon means? even if you picked out 100 examples that wouldn't stop it from being uncommon compared to the thousands of game series out there that have normal naming schemes.
No, he's hinting at some proto-dragon age from an earlier era of gaming that never existed
Origins was originally just called Dragon Age
They retconned the name later
That's Star Wars and A New Hope
Dragon Origins was already released as Origins
there was never a game only called dragon age, but they announced their new wholly own IP called dragon age back in 2004, which would be host to a slew of titles.
back then they were still talking about making a game that sounded like a vast open world where even animals would have basic routines and behaviors, specific mention about the mating behavior of dragons I remember.
pretty much nothing of that version of the game remained, and nothing of what dragon age origin ended up as was talked about in those previews, no darkspawn, no mages, and certainly no dragons being anything special connected to gods or something.
>the only other series I can remember doing this is halo
your memory is worth shit then.
>shogun: total war
>warcraft: orcs vs. humans
>Myth: The Fallen Lords
>shadow tactics: blades of the shogun
>serious sam: first encounter
etc. etc.
subtitles are very common when your main title sounds very cool, but might be not totally original or memorable, or when it lacks much indication about what the game might be, not just when you anticipate a whole series of games following.
Good!
Honestly the only thing that would get me interested in this series at this point is if it was a reboot. The last two games took it in such a disappointing direction that there is no recovery unless they start it all from scrap, too much shit baggage. Even then I don't trust it would be any good.
It Has nothing to do with the genre like BG. I wouldnt be surprised if it was like ff16.
well, good news is that bioware is so fricking wonky and fickle they might just do the right thing and try to make a good game for a change, but also, bioware is fricking shit nowadays, so who actually gives a flying frick about them burning their last vestiges of prestige and pedigree on a pile of poo?
>Created by The Original Developers of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2
+10 million sales instantly
yeah, just like it happened with the original creators of fallout.
people were not taunting the looks F1 and 2 incessantly in lieu of the turd that was fallout 3, because they were already consumed by bethesda brain rot.
no such things ever happen.
yeah, we knew as much since dragon age inquisition.
Just give me a cute female to romance and I’ll be happy
Buying this game simply to see Tevinter fall to the Qunari. Frick mages.
bioware is an excellent example of a modern ship of theseus, all the talents left, whats left is a bunch of bored wagies, spineless bosses and greedy suits.
>bioware is an excellent example of a modern ship of theseus
That's every dev under EA. And actually most western devs in general. DICE comes to mind for me.
It might turn out poorly but I've liked all the Dragon Age games to at least some degree, replaying Inquisition right now and am doing the descent before I do the nightmare demon.
Inquisition with its DLC is actually a pretty feature rich and great game.
I'll reserve judgment for Dread Wolf, I certainly hope it's good.
>but I've liked all the Dragon Age games to at least some degree
Gross.
Based game enjoyer.
I feel the same way, Origins really is head and shoulders above the rest don't get me wrong, but I can enjoy 2 and Inquisition for what they're worth.
The only hope I have DA4 is that they’re seemingly going for a much more smaller scale game instead of the overly large, overbloated mess that was Inquisition.
Bioware haven't made a PASSABLE game since Mass Effect 1. I do not know how anyone has hope for this company.
