Why does /v/ hate this game again?
We just hate Bioware now because of what they've become. Anything that they put out these days is not even half as good as anything release prior to Mass Effect
Because it's shit.
God that looks awful on console holy fucking balls
Because random events don't make a game good.
>>275916131
>liking a game because it has little random events and quirks
>not liking a game for having good combat, good RPG elements, and interesting story
DA:I sucks.
>>275916450
It looks good.
>>275916131
That's inquisition?
I hope that's on low settings. A friend of mine said it's the best game he's seen.
>>275916131
Threadly reminder that Inquisition is the leftovers from what was once a Dragon Age MMO. Also we want the Skyrim and console audience.

this looks like garbage, don't kid yourself. it's 2014, almost 2015. this does not look anywhere near "good".

>>275917172
What do you mean fix? That's my native resolution. I have a 16:10 monitor
>>275916131
That looks like an early 2000s PC rpg
>>275917272
get a monitor that lets you play 1920x1080? makes a huge difference
>>275917038
This explains a lot. A lot of MMOs would make amazing single player games.
>>275916131
Are your observations about some random shit that happens in the game supposed to oppose /v/'s distaste for it or something?
>>275917442
lel not really
>>275917104
Except it doesn't.
The combat, despite all the memespouting /v/ may do is very MMO. The only fun mechanics are using a rogue with parry for me as it's the only semblance of enjoyable gameplay. It really lacks tactical gameplay due to how the system works and the AI is just incredibly bad at times.
The RPG elements are awful and there's very little to it when it comes to armor and weapons. Skill trees are pretty simple aswell.
The story is a mix bag of bad dialogue and blandness. You have your occasional fun side mission but the actual side mission itself isn't really fun, instead listening to the crazy shit is the attraction to do it. The main story is uninteresting, and it's a cookie cutter plot chosen one bullshit.
>>275916957
That looks awful

No.
>>275917613
I highly disagree.
Why is 'MMO' a shitposting term anyways? For one, they don't have standard combat systems, that never made sense at all, and another, it doesn't make it bad, at all.
DAI's combat is hands down the best in the series
>>275917731
Man the UI looks like it belongs on a shitty tablet program.
>>275917861
Graphics are still great but if it was singleplayer it could be way better.
Plus by singleplayer I obviously mean tuning for a solo player.
Still, they make some really fucking amazing boss fights.
>>275917963
you should rest a bit, shilling so hard is bad for your health.
>>275917442
>>275917726
Kingdoms of Amalur was essentially a single player MMO. I thought it was prettyfuntoo. Too bad it basically got shafted for not selling enough copies, even though it sold over a million.
>>275916131
i didnt know that the ps2 was still getting games
>>275917963
>DA:I combat is hands down the best in the series
Doesn't make it good. DA:O combat also sucked. DA2 tried to do more action orientated combat but ultimately failed because it was equally not as fun.
The reason people also say MMO combat as a derogatory way to describe a games combat is because 90% of the MMOs on the market use tab targeting rotation based gameplay that offers little reaction or variety to the way things really go. In DA:I you get the ability to parry and move out of an enemies attack, but hits lack impact and weight and are just the equivalent of holding down a button. Skills are all just damage, status ailments and knockdowns and very little of the game revolves around actual tactical combat either. It's equivalent to the tab targeting bullshit we've been doing since 2000. It plays like shit and it's not fun.
>>275917731

i was not expecting to like this game as much as i do

>>275917104
I never understood why people play RPGs zoomed all the way in. I can't stand it, besides as much as I hate what bioshit has become I think their games are gorgeous when you are zoomed out, plus you get a better view of the action.
>this game has the sort of scripted events that all other open world wRPG has had for the past 10 years
>pls love it
Is this seriously your first wRPG?
>>275918848
I can do that?
>>275918259
Was too barebones, combat way too simple, itemization was garbage, classes were not that impressive.
>>275918959
Last Bioware RPG I played was the first DA and you could, I seriously hope they didn't take that option away from the game.
Remember OP, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
>>275916131
>playing game

>MUCH ATMOSPHERE SO REALISTIC WOW
Fuck off.
>>275918161
No.
It would be a grindfest filled with repetitive ass quests, terrible stories, terrible voice-acting, and terrible gameplay that wears out its welcome by the time you hit level cap.
The bosses would for the most part be thoughtless garbage and you'd constantly be wondering if a team of retards designed one dungeon and an actual dev team designed the other.
>>275919151
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?
>>275917963
>it doesn't make it bad, at all.
It does. MMOs have bad combat systems designed around people having shitty internet connections.
Ofcourse lately we've been getting MMOs with decent combat, but when people say MMO combat they mean the shitty WoW tab targetting.
Serious questions here.
What's the deal with the whole mage/templars conflict? Why is it so big?
Aren't mages and templars supposed to be only small fraction of population? What are they doing when they are not killing each other? Do they have normal jobs or is their whole life "Herp derp I'm a mage, I'm so opressed"?
>>275918715
...so comfy?
Banished was comfy. It was also shit.
>>275919572
All the mages of Thedas are now in war vs all the templars. They are not just 10 vs 10.
>>275918161
>Graphics are still great
ahahahaha
>>275919572
Game of Thrones is popular now and they wanted to do the whole political thing on account of it.
Ah fuck, I came all this way and these fuckers won't even let me in!
>>275919558
>>>>/tumblr/
>>275919572
Well if you fucking paid attention to the story. The mages are unrightfully oppressed by the Templars because every now and then like two mages get possessed by demons and violently kill everything.
Mages rebel, now there's a continent-wide war for mage rights. Also demons are starting to come through into reality.
It really is a pretty good story when you experience it.
>>275919962
>story
I just hate how much they turned away from Origins. The epilogue of that game just set itself up for a sequel, especially if you said that you were gonna go travel the world for a while.
I feel like the entire story of Origins could be cut and DA2 and Inquisition would still make sense for the most part, which is sad because I absolutely love Origins.
>>275919962
>because every now and then like two mages get possessed by demons and violently kill everything
In all of DA2 there were like 3 mages, tops that didn't dabble in the blood magic and get possessed on account of it.
I love RPGs
I was down there just 15 minutes ago running from Templars and Rebel Mages
>>275917104
>It has all of that.
Confirmed shill.
Saged and reported.
>>275920113
Same feeling, m8.
>>275916131
Origins felt dark and gritty, Inqusition feels like LGQT-scooby doo. Its so cartoony and the combat sucks a fire hydrant
>>275920113
It's a better story than Witcher or fucking Elder Scrolls. Better lore too if we have to be honest.
>>275920363
So that was just DA2. DA2 isn't canon.
>>275919572
DA:O was fairly low fantasy, so mages were really fucking dangerous, not just because of magic itself but because of demon possession.
Add to the fact that the blight was pretty much the fault of mages and you can see why the Chantry instituted the Templar/Circle system. Mages were torn from their families to live in circles and were taught all their lives that they were pretty much born cursed. The they have Templars watching their every move just ready to kill them if they got out of line.
All this simmers until Anders being a retard blows up the Kirkwall chantry, which set off crazy crazy Templar commander Meredith to declare that every mage in Kirkwall had to die(although to be fair every mage i Kirkwall was pretty much a blood mage except ironically Anders). The circles declare independence in response to this. It's a bid deal because Mages are powerful and many of them start summoning demons, and Templars are probably one of the strongest military powers in Thedas
>>275920884
I fucked up. I was for >>275920253
>>275920934
Also the big problem with the Mage/Templar war plot is that it gets resolved within the first few missions. I thought it was more interesting than the whole Corypheas crap.
>>275920915
>better story than Elder Scrolls
>better lore too
Just fucking no. This is a game straight up influenced by Skyrim, a game many people openly hated. By that logic DA:I is fucking terrible.
>>275917038
I'm still surprised no one made any comparisons with kingdoms of amalur.
>>275920915
>It's a better story than Witcher or fucking Elder Scrolls. Better lore too if we have to be honest.

So, 20 hours into the game then.
>>275921343
>putting words in my mouth
>implying that every idiot making an RPG isn't spouting off and creaming in their pants about Skyrim
The problem isn't me, butt tard, it's the industry. I'm not claiming Skyrim invented open world environments, but every developer who wants to shit out an RPG appears to think so. You're beef is with the higher ups who think that type of shit.
>Dragon Age invented boring derivative gameplay, empty and hollow mechanics and retarded, retreaded lore

What, you fucking kidding me? All Elder Scrolls has is stupid Tolkien tropes. Oblivion's story is literally just a demon invasion with everyone working together to save the world. At least you have inter-conflict in the Dragon Age universe. Not some dumb, everyone gets along bullshit.
>>275921386
Don't act snide with me.
You and like the one other retard in this thread are just a bunch of jaded bastards that can't admit DAI is fucking great.

FTFY
>>275921865
The more I see of this game, the more awful it looks.
It's like watching a kid show off their finger-paint work to an art gallery.
>>275919030
You can. And if your all the way zoomed out and try to zoom more it pauses combat and goes to tactical view.
>>275916131
I will admit I trolled that the hud was kinda shitty, and the lesbo rpg shit just made me cringe. along with that ugly bitch bitch. anyway, after playing the torrent. it's not too bad. lvl 6 frost mage reporting in./
/v/'s judgement really sucks sometimes. I've played this and it's amazing. Take those sticks out of your ass and have some fun for a change.
