It wasn't broken, but was unplayable, and left huge numbers of customers disappointed after one of the most anticipated launches of the year. It wasn't bad coding, it wasn't incompatible with a huge number systems, it came down to one thing and one thing alone, DRM."
Diablo III Season 38 launched with Ethereals back, but players are reporting Error 395002, disconnects, and server trouble.
Diablo 3 Season 38 starts March 27. Here’s what to finish before Ethereal Memory begins, from class choice and stash cleanup to Conquests and Ethereal
EA turned down BioWare's pitch to work on a remake of Dragon Age Origins or a remastered Dragon Age Trilogy, according to a new report.
Thats a pity. A remaster Trilogy would sell a lot better than the game they released last year.
Speak for yourself... Some of us are tired of remastered/remakes. Maybe this industry could show a little originality or progress a thought forward. Pass on dragon age remastered. Make a competent dragon age game or fold up shop.
Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.
I would have rather seen a remake of Origins which added onto it with more content than Dragon Age 4
If successful they could have continued on from it ignoring the other DA games.
Lore dump in Veilguard was very good and I enjoyed the game for that.
I would not at all be opposed to more of a 'remake' of the first game, though. Not sure a 'remaster' with better graphics and whatnot would really pull me in if it didn't include more updated controls and gameplay.
Yeah, your right about the lore, and thats the reason I like dragon age in the first place. I think thats why theres such a divide with veilguard. Those that fell in love with dragon age for the rpg mechanics were gravely disappointed.
Honestly I tried getting into dragon age 4 but just couldn’t man and it wasn’t that political BS, annoying yes, but not game killing. It just wasn’t it for me.
I would rather they just remake the original and stay true to the original
It's not a good game. But if a few trans and gay people upset you, then you have some issues with stuff beyond politics.
Didn’t care for it.
Annoying yes, because it’s dragon age.
That whole trans and binary just didnt fit in and felt force.
But like I said it wasn’t game killing. I just found it boring.
Ill always have the argument you only see it if you go looking for it. Im not gay or trans, it was a 2 minute scene you can literally skip and then you dont see any more of it in the game. Didn't bother me at all.
@andy
It really wasn’t 2 min and it was pretty much one characters identity lol.
Like I said it wasn’t game killing.
But to pretend it wasn’t stupid the way they went about it.
Sounded like something from our world would say.
Like wtf, i want fantasy to run away from our world.
I think it’s dumb asf to use real world terminology for real world problems in a game that isn’t set in ours world/altworld
Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.
@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?
It's not a good game. People people liking something is not always a good metric. People like sh%& games, I even like a few sh&% games myself.
Thats the understanding people lack.
People set standards of what is “good”. Interestingly, it is a strange form of confirmation bias, in which people look for evidence to support what they deem “good or bad” about a title. That is why we have so many people that say that starfield does nothing new…when that is literally what it does..something new…for Bethesda at least.
I have had people call me trash before, moments before I obliterate them in whatever it is we are playing. Broaden your awareness, and you will know of what I speak.
It's Ubisoft, what do PC gamers expect? They have a long history of botched PC releases and don't know why anyone would expect this one to be any different.
If have not heard a single complaint about DRM in the PC release. People are too busy complaining about hitching and framerate problems.
I'm glad the pirates are out there. More than once I have purchased a PC game only to recieve a product I can't play. Sometimes it is DRM problems, other times the game is broken due to code issues. In those cases I usually can go torrent a working copy of the game without DRM.
I bought Fallout 3 and couldn't play it for days after release. Within 4 days an unofficial patch was released onto pirate bay and it actually fixed all my issues with the game. Ran really smooth after that. 6 months later I ended up re-installing the game and using the official patch, which again broke the game and made it unplayable.
Sometimes the hacks are better than the product, and without pirates and hackers, I would have not been able to play games I paid for.
Yeah I'm pretty pissed. I'm seriously thinking about contacting ubi soft support and demanding a refund and just downloading a damn torrent. All this always online DRM crap is just in the way.
