Inquisition had less abilities, a limited and often broken tac cam, no origin stories, less dark morally ambiguous storylines, more bugs, ...
Plus I find the barrier/guard system a lot worse compared to healing. It's just way to easy to make an unkillable guard character.
I played the game like an action RPG because tactical play just wasn't well done. Certainly not compared to Origins or something like Divinity: OS.
So you just might...
Honestly, I don't care neither. I hope GTAV is here soon so modders can make the jimp.
Maybe as a gimmick, like the indoor play in '98. I don't think that's gonna make it as the core gameplay principle though. Us Europeans are a bit more conservative like that ;).
*Football game
We said the same thing in '98 and then again in '02, and then again in 2010. It might take a couple iterations but a major change will come again.
If anything, i think the underlying societal ideas like elven racism/elven isolationism, dwarven caste system/topsider chasm, orlais elitism, ferelden human ambition weren't represented enough in Inquisition. The darker undertone of origins which showcased a world built on inequality had to make way for the all-uniting, all-accepting Inquisition. In the end (Spoilers) even the few opponents who choose their own ambitions over helping you, turn out to simply be seduced by the one great ene...
I'd go to an art gallery that lets you walk in maddeningly beautiful digital worlds.
As much as a gameplay and story are what makes games great, graphics are important. Things like textures popping up can really ruin immersion. So do bad lighting effects, or badly done faces.
But most importantly, the issue is developers promising something and then not delivering it (it's called doing a Molyneux). Let us hope this isn't the case with the Witcher...
We used to say the same thing about playing Fifa (a long time ago). These days, most shooters are simply designed to play with a controller, and thus pretty enjoyable that way.
Games being exclusive is never a good thing.
The change of hairstyles only came as part of a patch. Even then all the available hairstyles were closer to something I'd recommend to an eleven year old girl than a heroic man (personal taste).
Even in the first game his hair was abonimable (again personal taste), not a ponytail, but not much better either.
So yeah, I played them, and yeah I still look forward to a different playable character.
Better than having each character look like an anime supermodel. At least all of them look distinctly different and have some personality. If you look at Cassandra, you already know a lot about her, you know she's a hardass.
I like to play the vanilla version before I mod it.
New playable character? Does this mean I doon't have to play as a guy with a ponytail anymore?
(I never was able to force myself to see a guy with a ponytail as a strong dark and raw hero, you have the sword, just cut it off)
Too easy? Don't upgrade your gear. Stay away from knight enchanter. Don't use potions.
Still too easy? Solo it.
RPG's have the easiest mechanics for making a game hard. Anyone who can finish nightmare solo, with a potionless crapgear dualwield rogue deserves a statue.
Like Fifa? Is that even cracked yet?
There is a good deal of pirates out there who have the budget for one game both (greedy bastards) wanted Unity and Far Cry 4 and Inquisition. Inquisition isn't cracked so Unity and Far Cry 4 are being pirated in that case.
Just delaying the pirates a couple of weeks often means a lot of pirategamers will cave and manage to scramble the needed dough together.
My game is saved perfectly fine without internet. It just doesn't upload your achievements etc.
Crashes, freezes, main character swapping gender halfway, getting the wrong specializations, ...
Most are pc-only. And I suppose there will be a patch soon.
The ones I got for free with AC: Unity and DA: Inquisition.
"I bet I can start a Kickstarter with one of them as the spokesperson trying to sell my youtube series called Tropes vs. Tropes in Video Games, get 160K and take 3 to 4 years to produce 5 youtube quality, pseudo-academic videos about just this kind of complaint."
I'd bet you a hundred bugs that you can't.
It deserves it yes, but doesn't around 98% of their customerbase already have it (digitally or otherwise)?
