Fantastic article, I agree with pretty much every single point. I think it's time for Dragon Age to carry over the protagonist. It's perfectly set up for that now, DA:I set a new style for the Dragon Age games and it's time to carry that forward. I find my self I a similar position as the writer of the article, I just don't think I can get excited for DA:4 if Bioware is like "oh that character you loved and spent 100+ hours building relationships with he's gone and he...
As good as the gameplay was in the New Order was the best thing about the game might have been the story and characters and Old Blood didn't focus on those as much it's a great standalone expansion but it doesn't stand up to New Order
So $140 dollars for a game that might now be worth playing, or come Nov 10 I can buy Fallout 4, Witcher III, and Phantom Pain.
@Klepic you miss my point entirely. I'm not really an optimist, I'm not saying the game will be good and the series hasn't had a good or great entry in a very long time and I'm not buying the game since they announced it was always online. People don't always have to look thru everything every developer or publisher say there is a lot of stuff publishers do that is deserving of a lot of hate this really isn't one.
I didn't mean not pre-ordering is stupid that's up to the person I think its stupid to give them hate for just announcing DLC.
@TheLoCoRaven it doesn't make it a bad list it's just at a bad spot. Wolfenstein is way to low, Alien should be on here, Shovel Knight should be on here, and if they are including remasters(GTA V) bot Dark Souls II and Metro Redux should be on here
If you are already complaining about this your stupid. Skyrim had three large DLC packs that were reasonably priced, obviously not cut from the base game,released well after launch and all had a large amount of content and were all well reviewed. Fallout 3 also had some good DLC.
Please don't blindly criticize things just so you can look like your up on your soap box it makes you look ignorant. Go hate on Deus Ex pre-order instead it deserves it.
So people complain when developers/publishers release a game buggy or don't properly optimize it for PC and people complain when they delay the game to release it properly on PC. Ok @uth11
You look pretty excited
I don't like Destiny's business model, releasing a game severely lacking in meaningful content then releasing DLC after DLC(though it is the nature of genre) it was mis-marketed, it had no story, no interesting characters, horrible , repetitive mission design. Even if some of those issues have been fixed you cant fault people for criticizing Destiny and not sticking with it thru all this time and money.
2015 is similar to 2013 since it has 3-4 huge AAA GOTY contenders and it's been a great year but 2016 is looking like possibly the greatest line up of games I can remember, (speaking on all games across all platforms). As an Xbox1 owner I fear for my wallet,cause there are about 20 games that as of now, I want.
Let me guess. Maybe the same exact same way people have already been spending their time in the base game.
Could it win some goty awards yes, is it the run away victor? Absolutely not, that's without Fallout as well. Right now it's between Witcher III and MGSV. @breakpad saying "a lot more work and production value have been invested in MGSV" is one the most ignorant statements I have seen on this site and that's impressive. Have you seen footage of Fallout 4 it's massive and has so much depth and customization it's insane much like MGSV in its scale. So I don't c...
Hopefully this stupid pre-order nonsense won't overshadow how good this game could be. Square has to be very aware of the position they are in. Unless they want this to turn into a full fledged Arkham Knight or Evovle they either have to get rid of this or just shut up until release cause if in a month or two they announce a season pass or something the internet will pretty much forever hate this game and sales and reviews of the game will suffer. In theory I don't mind publishers loo...
At least in this situation, I don't think it's necessarily bad as long as it is clear that the game is already founded and any founds gathered only makes the game bigger.
Really? Watching other stupid pre-order nonsense blow up in publishers faces didn't stop this? Just like the others sales and reviews will suffer, no matter how good the game is people will hate on the game just for garbage like this. Just stop, cancel this, the longer this is a topic people are talking the worse it is for the game and that's assuming more stuff making this look worse doesn't come out. You notice how every single comment section talking about DLC for the past 6mon...
The title seems to be misleading. The article just says you can play free this weekend, the titles wording comes off seeming like it's saying it will be a free download from now on. So is it going to be free to play STARTING this weekend or is going to be free to play FOR this weekend.
Spring 2016 is insane right now.
February- XCOMM 2,Battleborn,Mirrors Edge, Deus Ex
March- Uncharted 4, Street Fighter V,Killer Instinct S3, The Division
April- Quantum Break
Unannounced, listed as of now for Q1/Spring
Doom,Dark Souls III, Dishonored 2, Mario and Luigi Paper Jam, Hyper Light Drifter, Mighty No. 9, ReCore
It's pretty fairly priced, I mean the game digitally is what $15. So the physical game and soundtrack for $25 isn't bad. Is there a physical Xbox1 version the article made no mention of one?
Those RPG's aren't character and story driven RPG's though, which make them completely different. You don't spend 100hours in Fallout building a characters personality and relationships.[Edit] Skyrim and Fallout in particular you have absolutely no connection to your nameless,faceless,personality- less character he's just an avatar. I love both the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series they're just different style RPG'S.
