HookedGamers Holiday Gift Guide 2009

HookedGamers writes: "We have created this guide to make it easier for you. All you need to do is think about what type of person you are seeking a gift for and match that up with one of the above profiles. Each profile holds between six and ten different games that should be perfect for the person you are buying for. While we cannot guarantee that he or she doesn't already own the game, or that some other Santa isn't already buying the same gift, we are pretty sure that you're at least buying the right game."

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.

TheEroica284d 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.

FullmetalRoyale284d ago

They did speak for themselves.

jambola284d ago

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

Lionsguard284d ago

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

Ristul284d ago

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

-Foxtrot286d 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.

Christopher286d 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.

Armaggedon284d 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.

pwnmaster3000286d ago (Edited 286d 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

anast285d 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.

pwnmaster3000285d 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.

andy85285d 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.

pwnmaster3000284d ago (Edited 284d 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

Armaggedon284d ago

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

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

anast284d 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.

Armaggedon283d ago (Edited 283d 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.

isarai285d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

What was wrong with Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Terry_B285d ago

Miranda Lawson..and a bit more.

franwex284d ago

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

Next Year, I Promise I Will Play A Different Character In Dragon Age: Origins

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

OtterX508d ago

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

OtterX507d ago

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

Bercilak507d ago

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

TheColbertinator507d 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.
