CrAppleton6121d ago

Seriously.. littlest petshop online?? really EA? Was this needed at E3?

DaRockSays6121d ago

bgrundman6121d ago

Neco5126121d ago

Brutal Legend looks bad ass! XD

CrAppleton6121d ago

Yeah no doubt! Jack Black is a pimp! Can't wait to get my hands on this game!

bgrundman6121d ago

Dude, Ozzie is going to be in the game which makes it an instant sale.

ChampIDC6121d ago

Yeah, so far, it's looking like a buy for me. I hope it plays as good as it looks.

CrAppleton6121d ago

Mass Effect 2, NFS Shift, Fight Night Round 4, Brutal Legends, Star Wars The Old Republic, OMG!

Spolodaface6121d ago

Mass Effect not until next year? Aw, I was hoping that Facebook thing was right.

Hobb6121d ago

Mass Effect 2 is all I want from these people. LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DaRockSays6121d ago

Good tings be worth waitin fo

CrAppleton6121d ago

Yeah.. I seriously can't wait for ME2! I loved the first one.. this one looks like it's gonna be bad ass too!

ChampIDC6121d ago

My only complaint with ME1 was the empty worlds all over the place. It just seemed like pointless filling to me. Good thing you can ignore them. The rest of the game was straight up pimpin. Can't wait for the second.

Tony P6121d ago

Same here. There have got to be better things to do than drive a vehicle over miles of bleak terrain to cookie cutter locales and QTEs. That's my only complaint besides those darn elevators but it's a major one that I think seriously hurt the exploration. Wasn't very meaningful at all.

What I'd like are more cities, civilizations, ruins, etc. Not just another uninhabitable planet with a Geth ambush.

If I'm pretty harsh in my criticisms it's because I enjoyed the game so much and know it could also be so much better. ME2, day one.

GrE-Jace6121d ago

Overall, not that impressed with what EA showed. Sure, I'm excited for Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars Old Republic, but what they let us see wasn't that interesting to me.

DaRockSays6121d ago

Wha you say? Not Impressed? They have bunch of grat games comin

CrAppleton6121d ago

IDK.. I think the main problem with EA is the fact that there weren't very many NEW announcements.. we already knew these games were coming

Neco5126121d ago

Totally! We all knew this was coming. I want something NEW

Spolodaface6121d ago

EA MMA was the only announcement if I remember correctly, and that's all it was; an annoucement. No new info, nothing else but a logo.

EA Turned Down BioWare's Pitch For A Dragon Age Origins Remake Or A Remastered Trilogy

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.

Terry_B207d ago

Thats a pity. A remaster Trilogy would sell a lot better than the game they released last year.

TheEroica206d ago

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.

FullmetalRoyale206d ago

They did speak for themselves.

jambola206d ago

At what point did they indicate they were speaking for anyone else?

Lionsguard206d ago

No, they would have just ruined it by retconning things with their agenda.

Ristul206d ago

Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.

-Foxtrot207d ago

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.

Christopher207d ago

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.

Armaggedon206d ago

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.

pwnmaster3000207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

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

anast207d ago

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.

pwnmaster3000206d ago

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.

andy85206d ago

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.

pwnmaster3000206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

@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

Armaggedon206d ago

Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.

@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?

anast206d ago

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.

Armaggedon205d ago (Edited 205d ago )

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.

isarai207d ago

That's ok, they probably would've sullied it somehow anyways

LucasRuinedChildhood207d ago

What was wrong with Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Terry_B207d ago

Miranda Lawson..and a bit more.

franwex206d ago

Right? I’m actually glad they left it alone.

I've played the exact same Warden in Dragon Age: Origins for years. In 2025, I will finally make a different one. Maybe.

Tried it before, doesn't work. I tried to to play a Dalish archer but ended up being a Dwarf Noble warrior again, must be a bug

OtterX430d ago

Next year is tomorrow, so you'll start a new character tomorrow, right? 🤔

OtterX429d ago

It's not now, at least where I live. It's 2025 as of 2 hours ago. :P

Bercilak429d ago

Seriously? I play every playable character there is: a male human noble.

TheColbertinator429d ago

My preferred origin is Dalish Elf Archer that recruits the Templars, Baelen's Dwarves with Golems and Dalish Elves. Took me 3 playthroughs to lock down a "true" file for me. What a game.
