I've owned this game for 2 months now and have put over 110 hours into it (haven't even finished the campaign yet). This, to me, states two specific things: 1. This is the kind of game I expect when I pay $60. A HUGE, beautiful, interactive, great story, and seemingly endless game that has enough content even WITHOUT having any DLC 2. I've put 110 hours into a video game within the past 2 months... oh boy....
I have 96 hours into this game so far and I just can't get enough. I haven't completed the campaign yet either. Quite a ways to go it feels. Believe it or not, I wasn't sure I was gonna like the game when I first got it!
Rashid Dajani yes I've been looking for a game that will have me wanting to play in my spare time. Thanks I'll buy it I've heard a lot of people saying the same.
It took me 9 years discovering this game ....man this is great. The graphics are unbelievable for a 2014 game. The combat is fantastic, love the landscapes ....thank you bioware for this !
Anything that originated in late stage Xbox 360 or early PS4 gen still looks solid. Graphics have not improved much since 2014 overall so it's not much of a surprise.
@Leia Meila I expect to fireball an enemy and have it really hurt them. Not for them to react like I was bludgeoning them with a wet noodle. No one expects 'insta-win' from games like this, but battles that take forever because everyone's wearing kevlar underpants are no fun.
IGN clown. This game has one of the best story of all time, only perhaps surpassed by Skyrim. Everything you say has a real impact on the rest of the game, more important is that it gives new quests that are actually interesting and regardions.
I love how Dragon Age actually veered away from the: "An evil force is going to destroy the world and this group of people has to stop it" premise like most rpgs and actually made a world with other things, like politics, and actual conflicts between major powers that believe they are doing the right thing. And sure, while part of the main story is about an evil force threatening the world, it has so much more.
Noctan Nights this story moves me a lot many times throughout the game. I would totally disagree with ign on this point- the story is absolutely amazing!
The overall story isn't overwhelming as a whole - but while its not star wars ( which also doesn't have an amazing overall story ); its still is amazing if you really read the back story.
No offense but I have to say that "what story"? And let me explain As a non English speaker I find myself in a place that I was lost most of the time about the plot a things being said... And before you say "that's obviously your problem not the stories" let me continue explaining... While playing origins or mass effect, there was not a single thing that was geting out of my understanding! I was always full aware of the plot and the relationships and anything. But in inquisition... Ask me what the motives of Corypheus was or Solas and I could not say anything... I even had a moment of pause to remember Corypheus name... Obviously when you get people to not follow your story 100% is a problem of your storytelling. If you make the way you deliver the story unaccessible to some people (non English speakers) it's obviously hurting the overall experience!!!
years ago I played this game putting 200 hours and finished it... and every now and then I wanna redownload it and go through it once again. its a great game. the best part of the game is the endless banter between party members.
***** Actually Consoles allow affordable high quality gaming, larger game communities, and jobs for people that make games that you may not have been able to play if not for consoles and the mass appeal.
Yea I love how gamers are dividing themselves because one likes PC more than consoles. Afterall we're all gamers! And all that console exclusivity thing just feeds the flames even more when it comes to this stupid thing called console war.
So do I Bioware make great RPG's with excellent stories looking forward to Andromeda next year as well because I love their Mass Effect series as well.
If this video is randomly popping up in your recommended list, PLEASE go and buy this game. It's one of the best stories I've played in a long time with tons of action, character customization, and decisions to make so you can build your own story. The graphics are vibrant and gorgeous, and the gameplay is addictingly fun at both easy levels and difficult levels. Do yourself a favour and grab this 10/10 game.
too bad I played this game right after I played Witcher 3, unfortunately Dragon Age Inquisition is more like Mass Effect Andromeda in terms of plot and facial animation, it's just a typical sand box game you see everywhere
Mine are Xenoblade Chronicle X and Witcher 3. So many Open World games to play though, each taking up so much time. I'll have to stick too 2 for next year
smashninja22 I heard so many good thing about the Witcher I was a fan of the fables series until 3 and now I just started the Dragon Age series so do you think The Witcher would be a good thing for me to get
smashninja22 *Nods* I've been thinking about getting the Witcher games but I'm not even gonna think about getting it before this one, lol or else all my games will pile up again and I wont be able to finish xD
If you play Inquisition as a standalone, it's merely a decent game imo. However, if you play dragon age origins and Dragon age 2 first, this game becomes a trillion times better. It's so interesting to see the world state that you created playing the previous games continue to play out when you import your saves into Inquisition, especially when you know the lore and backstory of templars vs mages, what happened with Hawke in DA2, what became of the characters in DAO, awakening, etc etc.
I find it amusing how they praise Dragon Age Inquisition for it length but say that Alien Isolation was too long. IGN is full of shit when it comes to reviews.
1. Two different reviewers. You cannot just shoot at the broad target that is IGN like that.. one man doesnt review all the games. 2. Two different genres... a respectable RPG is usually filled with no less than 50 hours of content when counting sidequests, collectable texts and graphics that explain the gameplay etc. 3. while you may disagree with ryan's view.. he never just said "the game is too long and that sucks"... he explained that he felt the second half was unnecessary filler... meaning he didnt feel it added anything to the value of the game and instead dragged it down.. he felt it was meaningless and repetitive based on the first half of the game. 4. Stop buying in to the hate wagon... learn to think for yourself.. and if you are and you genuinely dislike IGN,,, stop watching their videos? i think that might help...
Dragon Age and Alien are two different types of games. In RPGs, the longer it is, the better. You get to see a lot of different places and do a lot of different things. However, in a horror game with only one setting and pretty much only one thing to do, the longer it is, the more it drags on.
The thing that made skyrim so amazing is that you were you're own person who could do anything you want from becoming a general to a potato farmer. That is why RPGs with pre determined paths and actions like the witcher and dragon age will never be a Skyrim killer. (No hate just my opinion)
There are good and bad things which come with that, the sheer scale and freedom are incredible but it sacrifices the storytelling that The Witcher has and vice versa. The combat in Skyrim is also very poor. Personally I think its just preference, the world in Skyrim, freedom, and exploring are probably second to none, but its storytelling and combat are forgettable and bad.
yeah but skyrims story and combat is also garbage so I'd take the trade off swinging your sword feels awful and it gets repetitive. In this you can switch up your playing style.
It doesn't need to be. In terms of exploration, TES games are arguably more vast and immersive. For everything else though, from the writing, the characters, the quality of the quests to the combat, DA is better.
in skyrim you couldn't be whoever you want. you where the dragonborne and it was your duty to stop the dragons wrecking havoc all over the world, in DA:I its the same your the "inquisitor" and its your job to stop the rifts from happening and stop the mage/templar civil war. in both games you could go about accomplishing that goal anyway you want. so i don't see your point. also the reason why skyrim isn't dead is because of the very very strong MOD community. thats it. if it wasn't for Mods skyrim wouldn't be so popular. especially since oblivion was much stronger in all aspects except for combat and graphics.
Douglas Fulmer Dude I have completed every fallout game and skyrim and I have to tell you, how do you possibly get over 100 hours on those games? do you start a new game? because if I Load a save, I will lurk around and not see anything to loot but kill but it's only for a short period of time. I don't honestly think it's possible to get over 100 hours... games like dark souls (if your a beginner) and persona yeah I understand But bethesda games? naw I'll pass on that
Playstation network they have many games on sale for E3 DA-I is 4.99 for everyone with a PS4 and playstation plus. I think the game is 8bucks if you don't have psplus, but this is also for NA region, or USA
From my experience with the game, the story isn't weak. I think the issue as that people get so caught up in side quests and fun stuff, that they leave hours of gaps between story missions, making it feel less of a smooth journey. But if you put the story pieces together, its pretty good, imo
Idk if I should get this. I haven't played any dragon age game before but I love rpg's/open worlds. Should I go for it? Is it good? I don't trust ign reviews lmao
All of the Dragon Age games are great but Inquisition is the first in the series to have a mostly open world. The locations are all unique and gorgeous. There's so much to do, so many races and classes to choose from, and choices to make that change the course of your game (you can also import saves from the prequels to alter things in this installment, or go to Dragon Age Keep online to make a custom world state). So yes it's worth every penny IMO. There are novels and Dark Horse comics that expand on the lore as well.
just finished. 92ish hours. I probably could have wrapped it up sooner but wanted to level up a bit. Turns out it was not necessary for the boss fight. The amount of content really is crazy. Re-watching this review I was struck how it looked like he was playing a different game because i didn't use those characters. So I had a pretty different experience. I didn't even ever ride my weird basilisk horse thing. There are A LOT of lame mini-missions but the fast travel ability makes them go by fairly quickly. I loved the banter between the characters I chose (Cole, Blackwall, Dorian (bow rogue elf for my character). I enjoyed how my main characters race really played into the game especially during the palace intrigue sections. You could play this so many times and have a different experience. However, at 90+ hours I really think our lives are too short to play it more than once. (ok maybe twice)
I played Origins on both and the PC version was significantly better for the tactical cam. This, however, has it on console too, and it looks like it works fantastically. It might still be a little better on PC but the difference is negligible this time around.
I never played a Dragon Age game before, but I'm really excited fro this one. Should I read the plots from the previous games or is possible to begin the story with this game?
Defo read the wiki for major plot points. Alternatively try the dragon age Keep. It will tell you the story basics while letting you choose what actions happened in the last 2 games to import into the game when you start. just google dragon age keep.
This game made Dragons a fearsome and beautiful thing to not only see but fight. I’d have loved to see a way to not have to kill the dragons maybe tho.
Just completed my first single player campaign through this game. Awesome. The plus side is the depth of pathos in the personal dialogs you have with your people. I loved talking with them. The negative (at least on the Xbox) is that some of the dialog in the cutscenes would freeze for a time. I've seen some of the other storylines others have posted here as well. Although the ending may actually arrive at the same point, the way there has so many different paths. That's just what an RPG should aspire for. A different telling of the same story, every time you pick it back up. I went through as a mage, which told me I should align with the mages. Next time I'll run through the game with the templars, as a warrior, and have a romance. Damn good stuff, having choices.
+Somethingysomething Because you can directly compare 1 con with the next? Dude... that's like saying 1 disease is as bad as the next... and well... you know.
wow he made a review of a game that he didnt completely played, ive been playing it for 150 hrs lol its extremely catching is the first time ive play a game that long, i really liked the story line
+Richie Alarcón You can't expect a reviewer to 100% the game by the time the review came out people would've decided to buy or not based on what another reviewer said. And they wouldn't even be able to cover it all, New players probably wouldn't want to see a review covering each area and quest either some like 20-45 minute reviews but most go for a quick one to see if they should try it.
GunStreets Except Witcher 3 isnt out for another 3 months, surly even the most casual gamer can finish even a lengthy game such as this within 3 months. Well whatever, enjoy waiting, ill be playing this and Witcher 3 when it comes out.
Was on Live for like 10 bucks with all DLCs... got a solid 150 hours out of it, maybe more.... great times and one of the best i have played.... yuuuuup
***** there is but you can't really do it until you get to Skyhold and recruit Dagna. But tbh you don't really need enchanted weapons in the opening sections anyway tbf. As the enemies in the opening levels aren't that hard once you've mastered the basics of the game.
The only two real big problems i have with the game is: 1: A bug that makes it impossible for me to respec my characters without crashing the game. 2: The fact that X on the PS4 is both jump, loot and climb! Im sure number 1 will be patched at some point, but having X do pretty much all the useful things can get really annoying! In a single playthrough i tried counting every time i accidentaly jumped instead of using an object, and i ended up doing it around 130 times...
Nevermind, I'm still playing Dragon Age Origins because the story is amazing and it is the best example of how Voice Acting should sound like. I have Skyrim too indeed and both game are very satisfying, a lot. Nonetheless, the deception with Dragon Age II combat and story line was so huge that I'm not sure if I'm going to buy Inquisition! It is very tempting I must say. Damn Bioware!!
yeah I agree Faces looka little cartoony in DAI compared with other games but locations are still stunning. It still takes my breath away in the cutscene when you get introduced to Skyhold your HQ for the majority of the game.
Bought the game a few days ago, I'm around 20 hours, and there is so much left. I love huge games like this. I have to say it is a really awesome game, that still looks good on 360. Definitely a game I'm going to play with for a long time.
ayeniszwan the most unforgetible villian in my opinion is Cullen. I'm not 2 hours into the game and that guy started hitting on my hetro character, and then did not stop the whole game. I'm pretty much scared for life now.
What is this luck! Just when I finished watching this video. I look on the PlayStation store and find the GOTY edition on sale for $10. This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
I put 60+ hours into Dragon Age: Inquisition and was nowhere near finished. The exploration and side missions kept calling me away from the main quest. I'm restarting tonight and I'm determined to finish this great game this time.
They didn't have a choice in the matter, they probably got the review copy for PS4. It's definitely going to be superior on PC though. Edit: Not the story, the general gameplay, interface, etc.
Drew Hendrix I didn't comment on that, the weakness is Bioware games is never the story, I'm sure it's fine, everybody else loved it, this guy probably just didn't agree.
Mad Maestro this game is like £6 on Ps store for the deluxe edition. I’m considering buying it but I don’t want to play a game with shitty combat, what do you think?
@@mclovinjr9086 it's ok. It's mainly strategy based real time combat. Where you switch between managing what you want your party to do and real time action combat. The combat is Very mmo'ish however. Basic attacks don't stun enemies and what not. However the point is to strategize around the opponent in front of you. Brute force is rarely the way to go in this game.
Actually, I'd rather play this and then the Witcher 3. Unless you're one of those bitchers that have nothing better to do than troll on a DAI vid. Yeah, im gonna go with option B ;).
+KshN86 skyrim also had dumbed down and garbage combat. top that in with few and shitty voice acting, script that is underwhelming, and one of the most anti climatic end game boss battles ever. alduin was a joke like skyrims main quest.
I finished the campaign yesterday, it took me about 3 years since I’ve played other games and stopped with this one. I was and am still amazed at how wonderful this game is, I’ll be playing it again tonight!! Haha😂❤️
this game is fantastic. i'm 25 hours in and barely scratched the surface. i love how you can free roam into areas where your entire party gets killed on the spot because you're not strong enough to face those enemies yet. leveling up really feels like you're getting stronger i haven't run into a single bug or glitch and never crashed once. that gets bonus points from me because this game is so massive. the story and characters are very good as well. i don't know why this game still gets so much hate. i understood the criticisms of dragon age 2 - i think it's the weakest of the 3 but still enjoyed it, but inquisition addresses many of the issues and it blows dragon age 2 out of the water in terms of presentation and basically everything.
I was going to get in when I saw it on sale in the psn store. but then there were another 2 games for sale, the witched 3 and shadow of mordor. I'm so lost don't know which one to pick
As someone who has played origins to the point where I knew everything about the game inside and out, this gives me anxiety lol. What if I dont like my decisions and I invested so much time in it and how will I be able to 100% it
I find it kinda sad. The fact that Bioware had more development time, bigger budget and Fan's feedback and they still couldn't make the game as good as Origins was. And what is here to blame? Bioware...Or rather Modern Bioware. Origins was a game developed by Old Bioware, people who made RPG gems like Neverwinter nights or Bauldur's Gate. People who knew exactly how an RPG should be made. Inquisition was made by modern Bioware who not only don't understand how a proper RPG should work, but also work together with EA who most of the time just make things even worse. This Reviewer said that Inqusition has all the RPG depth of Origins, No it doesn't, not even a bit. Inquisition is not even a proper RPG, it's your typical console action game but with dumbed down RPG elements. No wonder why half of the old Bioware crew left. Good for them.
You should take expectations into consideration. In most cases, people will never be satisfied with a sequel, this applies to everything. I do agree that some aspects weren't well-developed but I had a really good time with it :p
+Khoa Phan I played inquisition before origins but while I loved origins I was never able to really get into inquisition. The story didn't hook me at all, I keep trying to really get into the game but i just can't and I normally love games like it.
Clif ff yeah it was hard getting into it, the story was really slow at first but it gets pretty good later on. Origins set the standard that was too high for Inquisition imo.
Funny, i've read/watched about 5 reviews now, and every single one except for this one has hailed the plot as the best and most epic in the series. Think he missed the mark here
This game is do damn amazing. My wife logged 130 hours on this and she's still not down. i've logged about 30. This game is definitely one of the greats of all time. truly a masterpiece. just phenomenal
The reviews I read for this game up until now: Some said the story is awesome, some said it's weak Some said the main villain isn't just a stereotypical bad guy who wants to destroy the world, some said that he was totally forgettable Some said the crafting of weapons and armor is good but unnecessary because you find good itens anyway, some said the best itens can only be acquired by crafting
Ďinda S Why is it half the time the only people who respond are the people who are in the exact same situation I am? Hopefully someone will reply and help us out.
I think that the witcher has better reviews but im not sure which is better. i dont know if I should buy da:I or diablo 3 reaper of souls. what do you think?
I've never played a DA game before (I know) and I was wondering if this game would be too complex or too unfamiliar for me. I've beaten all the ME games several times and I loved them all. The question is is this game hard to play for a person who's never played one before? All the options on-screen look very confusing.
XxX_Doritos_XxX Have you worked at a Video Game studio? I've had the courtesy of visiting Edmonton and from the looks of it, it's hard fucking work. The crew at Bioware Edmonton worked 14+ hours a day, 7 days a week, for 4 years on DAI alone. If you read press releases from the crew at Edmonton, there isn't a Season Pass, there will be no added companions via DLC, and any DLC coming out in the next few months will be free map additions to the Multiplayer. These guys worked hard and deserve a long sabbatical until they start working on the next game.
Tried playing this a while back after finishing the witcher 3 like 4 years ago and didn’t care for it. Tried it again a few days ago and I’m hooked at the moment.
ok I'm really trying g to get into these kind of games. should I start with elder scrolls marrowind (i played a bit of skyrim) or should I get inquisition?
"And amazingly nothing ever feels like filler" he says... Ok, lost all credibility there! All the filler crap is the biggest flaw of the whole game. Collecting shards, the various collect quests, the various sidequests with a very short story that doesn't have any consequence at all. What do you call that? It's filler! I've put around 110 hours in it, and i'm probably not going to finish it. All the filler content ruined the game for me and burned me out.
The fame is almost all filler. Its sidequests sure and not much of it is necessary and the exploration is equally dull and frustrating. This game beat me once and almost beat me a second time.
Thank you... it’s actually the worst part of the game. No or little story to most side quests and collecting. Feel like you get very little for running over the map endlessly for a bit of wool
Dragon age origins, although there were a lot of side quests, most you could do as following the story... this game went big scale for the sake of going big scale and although there was some amazing places to discover, most were just empty. Also the ‘can you jump up a hill or not’ was frustrating. Having to run around a mountain to get somewhere a few yards away
This game has all the rpg depth of Origins? That's funny. I must have played a different game then. Inquisition is fun to play, yes. But rpgwise is doesn't hold a candle to Origins which is by far the better game. Hell, I even enjoyed DA2 more than Inquisition.
DAO: prostitutes, gifts for your companions, good romance options, endless dialogue choices, speech craft, different origins...Man that game had it all
I agree with you. DAO the best both story and action. I completed and still miss it. DA2, better graphics and spells (since I always play the mage character) and I did finish the main quest as well. DAI, initially much fun to play, even better graphics and spell casting effects, but then the storyline is ... also feel like grinding a lot with sidequests that don't add to the main. Have put DAI aside after putting in many, many hours. Most importantly, why I'm building the castle? The main quest doesn't hold me to the finish line. I may revisit it in future, for sure, but there's so many new and better games out there these days!
Okay, idea for armors, since the material you choose affects the color, how about other stuff affects the acute size and fit. Like you can make coarts longer, or choose different leathers or cloths to change the texture of the material?
***** yup... Beat it three times, one on normal, then uping the difficulting each time.... No character makes the game slightly bareable... and the areas......beautiful when no glitchy but so useless in terms of real world impact
Sean Rawlinson And yet it was constrained to a very small setting. I liken it to the phenomena of using smaller plates for meals. Make the setting/serving smaller, and it's less obvious that it's lacking.
Do I need to have played the first few games to understand and enjoy this one? Because I haven't played any of them before but really wanna play this...
Sorta. But if you read a couple of plot summaries of the first two games and get the gist of the story with the templar and mage war you should be fine
Watch Shoddycast Dragon age lore. Its a 10 part series with each video about 5-10 minutes long it should catch you up and also theres the codex in game and you might want to read a bit on the wiki. You can also go on dragon age keep and make your own story in the other games without having to play them.
One thing i noticed while playing this game, was how little the difficulty setting actually meant. I played on the easiest setting for my first playthrough because i wanted the full experience, without having to frustrate myself with restarting after i died. I had a reasonably easy time, with a few tough fights if you aren't prepared for them. But then i went straight to nightmare, expecting to get my ass handed to me in a purple briefcase, but i never really did; sure i got owned by the first boss in the temple the first time, and the enemies take longer to kill and do more damage, but i never really needed to change my playstyle all that much... Have your shield warrior with as much Guard+ gear as possible guard a spot, a rogue to debilitate enemies and a mage to keep everyone happy, and i was pretty much golden... (i could do whatever i wanted with my own character) I was told the overhead view was essential to survival, but i never really used it for anything, other then to scope out weaknesses and immunities, set up my warriors position and maybe an ambush from the rest of the squad...
I've owned this game for 2 months now and have put over 110 hours into it (haven't even finished the campaign yet). This, to me, states two specific things:
1. This is the kind of game I expect when I pay $60. A HUGE, beautiful, interactive, great story, and seemingly endless game that has enough content even WITHOUT having any DLC
2. I've put 110 hours into a video game within the past 2 months... oh boy....
Good sir, your comment is a better review than this entire video. Thank you.
I have 96 hours into this game so far and I just can't get enough. I haven't completed the campaign yet either. Quite a ways to go it feels. Believe it or not, I wasn't sure I was gonna like the game when I first got it!
Is It really a good game?
Cheyenne Allen it really is.
Rashid Dajani yes I've been looking for a game that will have me wanting to play in my spare time. Thanks I'll buy it I've heard a lot of people saying the same.
I just got this game a couple of weeks ago, and I feel stupid because I thought I was about to finish the game when I was about to close the rift.

And sure, while part of the main story is about an evil force threatening the world, it has so much more.
And that is very refreshing!

As a non English speaker I find myself in a place that I was lost most of the time about the plot a things being said...
And before you say "that's obviously your problem not the stories" let me continue explaining...
While playing origins or mass effect, there was not a single thing that was geting out of my understanding! I was always full aware of the plot and the relationships and anything.
But in inquisition... Ask me what the motives of Corypheus was or Solas and I could not say anything... I even had a moment of pause to remember Corypheus name...
Obviously when you get people to not follow your story 100% is a problem of your storytelling. If you make the way you deliver the story unaccessible to some people (non English speakers) it's obviously hurting the overall experience!!!
No you aren't my friend.
years ago I played this game putting 200 hours and finished it... and every now and then I wanna redownload it and go through it once again. its a great game. the best part of the game is the endless banter between party members.

@@hanzohattori9576 2005 graphics! are you blind? in which 2005 game you've seen graphics like this?
Oyfum
Oyyyyyyyyfuuuuuuuum
Love all the dragon age games , the plot isnt vague atal if you've played the others.
So do I Bioware make great RPG's with excellent stories looking forward to Andromeda next year as well because I love their Mass Effect series as well.
Agreed i thought the story was very interesting tbh.
Agreed. Inquisition had a fantastic story.
@@sjsharp2007 sorry for your loss
@@mpforeverunlimited I was thinking the same thing. That comment sure did not age well.
Um... so this might seem like a weird question but... Can you jump?
yes
Sadistic Unicorn barely
@@klarkus I got that reference. Terrible movie IMO😅
More realistic jump than being able to jump 20 feet in the air
Yes, yes you can, despite the odds the inquisitor has learnt jump magic
Inquisition will always have a special place in my heart lol, one of the best RPGs in my opinion, I've replayed it like 6 to 7 times lmao
Looks dumb.
If this video is randomly popping up in your recommended list, PLEASE go and buy this game. It's one of the best stories I've played in a long time with tons of action, character customization, and decisions to make so you can build your own story. The graphics are vibrant and gorgeous, and the gameplay is addictingly fun at both easy levels and difficult levels. Do yourself a favour and grab this 10/10 game.
Nah, it's literally a single player mmo with tons of boring fetch quests
too bad I played this game right after I played Witcher 3, unfortunately Dragon Age Inquisition is more like Mass Effect Andromeda in terms of plot and facial animation, it's just a typical sand box game you see everywhere
This looks like the kind of RPG I've been waiting for for a while now ^_^
Mine are Xenoblade Chronicle X and Witcher 3. So many Open World games to play though, each taking up so much time. I'll have to stick too 2 for next year
smashninja22 I heard so many good thing about the Witcher I was a fan of the fables series until 3 and now I just started the Dragon Age series so do you think The Witcher would be a good thing for me to get
smashninja22 *Nods* I've been thinking about getting the Witcher games but I'm not even gonna think about getting it before this one, lol or else all my games will pile up again and I wont be able to finish xD
While I loved Skyrim it didn't give me the feel of authority and politics like this game is portraying
i don't know which one should i buy assassin's creed unity or dragon age inquisition.
Feels like this should have being a 9 they've giving higher to games with more flaws
*Looks at advanced warfare*
XblackopsX100 Which has not got many flaws and is also a FPS not a fantasy sometimes turn based RPG...
XblackopsX100 Looks at most games this very crappy year.
Pls stop talking about cod or I'll have to block you guys
***** don't start with cod its like a plague the next one is assassin creed
If you play Inquisition as a standalone, it's merely a decent game imo.
However, if you play dragon age origins and Dragon age 2 first, this game becomes a trillion times better. It's so interesting to see the world state that you created playing the previous games continue to play out when you import your saves into Inquisition, especially when you know the lore and backstory of templars vs mages, what happened with Hawke in DA2, what became of the characters in DAO, awakening, etc etc.
I find it amusing how they praise Dragon Age Inquisition for it length but say that Alien Isolation was too long. IGN is full of shit when it comes to reviews.
1. Two different reviewers. You cannot just shoot at the broad target that is IGN like that.. one man doesnt review all the games.
2. Two different genres... a respectable RPG is usually filled with no less than 50 hours of content when counting sidequests, collectable texts and graphics that explain the gameplay etc.
3. while you may disagree with ryan's view.. he never just said "the game is too long and that sucks"... he explained that he felt the second half was unnecessary filler... meaning he didnt feel it added anything to the value of the game and instead dragged it down.. he felt it was meaningless and repetitive based on the first half of the game.
4. Stop buying in to the hate wagon... learn to think for yourself.. and if you are and you genuinely dislike IGN,,, stop watching their videos? i think that might help...
Ign are money loving fuckers there reviews are based on just look at watch dogs its 8/10 for ign
shadowmane55 its refreshing to see someone give a respectable and intelligent response to something on the internet :)
Dragon Age and Alien are two different types of games. In RPGs, the longer it is, the better. You get to see a lot of different places and do a lot of different things. However, in a horror game with only one setting and pretty much only one thing to do, the longer it is, the more it drags on.
I'm glad I'm not the only person on the Internet who isn't not a troll
The thing that made skyrim so amazing is that you were you're own person who could do anything you want from becoming a general to a potato farmer. That is why RPGs with pre determined paths and actions like the witcher and dragon age will never be a Skyrim killer. (No hate just my opinion)
There are good and bad things which come with that, the sheer scale and freedom are incredible but it sacrifices the storytelling that The Witcher has and vice versa. The combat in Skyrim is also very poor.
Personally I think its just preference, the world in Skyrim, freedom, and exploring are probably second to none, but its storytelling and combat are forgettable and bad.
yeah but skyrims story and combat is also garbage so I'd take the trade off swinging your sword feels awful and it gets repetitive. In this you can switch up your playing style.
The Witcher has a story and setting of its own. It doesnt even want to be a skyrim killer.
It doesn't need to be. In terms of exploration, TES games are arguably more vast and immersive. For everything else though, from the writing, the characters, the quality of the quests to the combat, DA is better.
in skyrim you couldn't be whoever you want. you where the dragonborne and it was your duty to stop the dragons wrecking havoc all over the world, in DA:I its the same your the "inquisitor" and its your job to stop the rifts from happening and stop the mage/templar civil war.
in both games you could go about accomplishing that goal anyway you want. so i don't see your point.
also the reason why skyrim isn't dead is because of the very very strong MOD community. thats it. if it wasn't for Mods skyrim wouldn't be so popular. especially since oblivion was much stronger in all aspects except for combat and graphics.
Just played 191 hours by replaying 3 times. Love this game so much
You could spend a day customizing your character alone
This game deserves a legendary edition. Some of the most beautiful scenery and landscapes in a game I’ve ever seen.
You know, even after 10 years
They got a far better graphic than starfield
Damn I love RPGs as long as it's not first person!!
what rpg have a fps combined? lol
Fallout & Elder Scrolls series
milan simek idk those games tho
jipsy i highly recommend both. they are great for story and adventuring.
You got that right 3 person is the best
Just bought this game for $7 can’t wait for my first play through 👍
Same. It was $7 bucks & so far it's a pretty great game
its like MMO for people with no friends
game for me!
Me too. Lol
Perfect!!!
I'm still waiting for warzone playable with 99 bots 😂😂 no online, no other players (maybe player 2?)
2:29 referring to Bartolomeo's sword in assassin's creed 2 ? :D
90 hours is the most you have ever played from an RPG? You really need to play an Elder Scrolls of Fallout game then.
Edit: *or* Fallout game...
are you calling this ign reviewer a noob?
Of course not, that goes without saying?
Douglas Fulmer Dude I have completed every fallout game and skyrim and I have to tell you, how do you possibly get over 100 hours on those games? do you start a new game? because if I Load a save, I will lurk around and not see anything to loot but kill but it's only for a short period of time. I don't honestly think it's possible to get over 100 hours... games like dark souls (if your a beginner) and persona yeah I understand But bethesda games? naw I'll pass on that
You should have edited out your mistake instead of adding the edit under.
opkill6 yes
This game is on sale for 4.99 on PSN right now
r u sure....wer
Playstation network
they have many games on sale for E3
DA-I is 4.99 for everyone with a PS4 and playstation plus. I think the game is 8bucks if you don't have psplus, but this is also for NA region, or USA
+kasinalpha i got playstaion plus and i just looked. it isnt anywere for 4.99??
+kasinalpha oh thanks
The game is free for EA Access members on Xbone and PC
As much as I loved this game, Origins along with the dlcs was my personal favourite
From my experience with the game, the story isn't weak. I think the issue as that people get so caught up in side quests and fun stuff, that they leave hours of gaps between story missions, making it feel less of a smooth journey. But if you put the story pieces together, its pretty good, imo
ridiculously underrated game and my favorite in the series
Looks horrible.
@@Flat_Earth_Sophia
Why
how could a goty be underrated?
You are here because this game is free on epic games store
Yap 😄
Specifically because Daniel the maths teacher guy on youtube told me about it
Yes
You are absolutely correct!
yes 😅
weak story....really? 99% reviewers on the internet disagree with you dear IGN.
why do you care?
Because everyone else on the internet( including other big reviewers) disagrees with IGN.
thats an IGN review for ya
Well those 99% didn't review the game.
it is just one person's opinion, take it with a grain of salt
Idk if I should get this. I haven't played any dragon age game before but I love rpg's/open worlds. Should I go for it? Is it good?
I don't trust ign reviews lmao
messi1010ramirez
Can’t believe nobody responded for four years.
Yes
Buy this game
Harry Blackwell I’m here trying to figure out if this is worth buying since it’s on sale. I might pick it up.
Emmanuel Fletcher
It’s a great experience and incredibly fun throughout, if you can afford it, get it 👍
All of the Dragon Age games are great but Inquisition is the first in the series to have a mostly open world.
The locations are all unique and gorgeous. There's so much to do, so many races and classes to choose from, and choices to make that change the course of your game (you can also import saves from the prequels to alter things in this installment, or go to Dragon Age Keep online to make a custom world state).
So yes it's worth every penny IMO. There are novels and Dark Horse comics that expand on the lore as well.
Do you need to have played the previous games to enjoy this one?
just finished. 92ish hours. I probably could have wrapped it up sooner but wanted to level up a bit. Turns out it was not necessary for the boss fight.
The amount of content really is crazy. Re-watching this review I was struck how it looked like he was playing a different game because i didn't use those characters. So I had a pretty different experience. I didn't even ever ride my weird basilisk horse thing. There are A LOT of lame mini-missions but the fast travel ability makes them go by fairly quickly.
I loved the banter between the characters I chose (Cole, Blackwall, Dorian (bow rogue elf for my character). I enjoyed how my main characters race really played into the game especially during the palace intrigue sections. You could play this so many times and have a different experience. However, at 90+ hours I really think our lives are too short to play it more than once. (ok maybe twice)
We don't have enough time. Couldn't agree more with your comment! 😂
Console Peasants will dream of playing this game, the way it should ON A FUCKING PC.
i am going to play this on my ps4 and you calling me a Peasant is not going to stop me ass hole
It's not a demanding game, so calm down
I have a high spec gaming PC and I'm getting it for PS4.
Michael Lojewski I don't want to spend 90+ hours hunched over a keyboard when I could sit back comfortably with a controller.
I played Origins on both and the PC version was significantly better for the tactical cam. This, however, has it on console too, and it looks like it works fantastically.
It might still be a little better on PC but the difference is negligible this time around.
I never played a Dragon Age game before, but I'm really excited fro this one. Should I read the plots from the previous games or is possible to begin the story with this game?
check up on the stories on the other games just to be prepared. Ur gonna jump into this game without knowing what a templar is lol
Marc Anthony I will. Thanks, man.
Defo read the wiki for major plot points. Alternatively try the dragon age Keep. It will tell you the story basics while letting you choose what actions happened in the last 2 games to import into the game when you start. just google dragon age keep.
Thank you, man.
Rodrigo Deway No problem buddy :). Try also the wiki sites. they have some pretty good summaries
This game made Dragons a fearsome and beautiful thing to not only see but fight. I’d have loved to see a way to not have to kill the dragons maybe tho.
Who is here after epic game give away?
✋️
Mee
Yessir
Me😂
Just completed my first single player campaign through this game. Awesome. The plus side is the depth of pathos in the personal dialogs you have with your people. I loved talking with them. The negative (at least on the Xbox) is that some of the dialog in the cutscenes would freeze for a time. I've seen some of the other storylines others have posted here as well. Although the ending may actually arrive at the same point, the way there has so many different paths. That's just what an RPG should aspire for. A different telling of the same story, every time you pick it back up.
I went through as a mage, which told me I should align with the mages. Next time I'll run through the game with the templars, as a warrior, and have a romance. Damn good stuff, having choices.
corono virus bought me this game,fantastic a fine jewel and one of my favorite rpg.
*gives dragon age inquisition 1 con* 8.8

ign sort out your reviewe
+Somethingysomething Different IGN reviewers different opinions.

Who cares about a number? Really all you need to know is there's only 1 con. Stop bitching and start killing dragons.
dragon age inquisition was better than gta 5 imho
Somethingysomething I
300+ hrs on this game(plus all its DLCs) and still enjoying it! worth every penny!
wow he made a review of a game that he didnt completely played, ive been playing it for 150 hrs lol its extremely catching is the first time ive play a game that long, i really liked the story line
But he did finish it. He said it took 90 hours to get to the credits.. implying he finished th story line.
+Quentin Burquez yup but not the side quests and he only killed 3 dragons?
+Richie Alarcón You can't expect a reviewer to 100% the game by the time the review came out people would've decided to buy or not based on what another reviewer said. And they wouldn't even be able to cover it all, New players probably wouldn't want to see a review covering each area and quest either some like 20-45 minute reviews but most go for a quick one to see if they should try it.
technically you don't have to finish anything to review it
but he .. keep saying the story had plots and not good
what ever downloading now :D
Ill wait for Witcher 3 thanks.
GunStreets Bought it when it came out, still havent beat half the storyline xD
arsenal2621 Is there a reason you can't play both?
GunStreets
Except Witcher 3 isnt out for another 3 months, surly even the most casual gamer can finish even a lengthy game such as this within 3 months.
Well whatever, enjoy waiting, ill be playing this and Witcher 3 when it comes out.
Damian Clark I have about 30 games on steam bought during sales which I havent even played and FC4 is coming out next week.
And i play both, thanks.
Was on Live for like 10 bucks with all DLCs... got a solid 150 hours out of it, maybe more.... great times and one of the best i have played.... yuuuuup
ENCHANTMENT!
***** SANDAL IS THAT YOU? OH NOOOO
Wahida Malik swooping is baaaad
***** the blacksmith in Haven and Skyhold does the enchantments
***** there is but you can't really do it until you get to Skyhold and recruit Dagna. But tbh you don't really need enchanted weapons in the opening sections anyway tbf. As the enemies in the opening levels aren't that hard once you've mastered the basics of the game.
***** yeah I know he's not but having him was never high up on my agenda as long as the rest of the game is good which imo it is.
Simply one of the best games I've played. I really love it.
The only two real big problems i have with the game is: 1: A bug that makes it impossible for me to respec my characters without crashing the game.
2: The fact that X on the PS4 is both jump, loot and climb! Im sure number 1 will be patched at some point, but having X do pretty much all the useful things can get really annoying! In a single playthrough i tried counting every time i accidentaly jumped instead of using an object, and i ended up doing it around 130 times...
This game is a fine jewel. One of my favorites ever.
Nevermind, I'm still playing Dragon Age Origins because the story is amazing and it is the best example of how Voice Acting should sound like. I have Skyrim too indeed and both game are very satisfying, a lot. Nonetheless, the deception with Dragon Age II combat and story line was so huge that I'm not sure if I'm going to buy Inquisition! It is very tempting I must say. Damn Bioware!!
TBH this is the most underrated GOTY in this decade,not much people's knew about it
even in 2016 this game graphics still looks very good tho
yeah I agree Faces looka little cartoony in DAI compared with other games but locations are still stunning. It still takes my breath away in the cutscene when you get introduced to Skyhold your HQ for the majority of the game.
no they don't
Nigel Woo yes they do
No they don't. For me they looked believable and beautiful and don't you tell me my Morrigan's face looks cartoony I'll fight you over that face!! :D
2014 - 2015 to be more precise.
Bought the game a few days ago, I'm around 20 hours, and there is so much left. I love huge games like this. I have to say it is a really awesome game, that still looks good on 360. Definitely a game I'm going to play with for a long time.
' Forgettable villain ' ... Are you fucking kidding me ? Corypheus is the most awesome villains in 2014 .
ayeniszwan Agreed
who's that?
ayeniszwan the most unforgetible villian in my opinion is Cullen. I'm not 2 hours into the game and that guy started hitting on my hetro character, and then did not stop the whole game. I'm pretty much scared for life now.
omegajbmb But he's not even the antagonist ... ? Or you picked the wrong dialogue ?
omegajbmb hahaha XD same for me too.
which rogue class got the shotguns or can both rogue classes use the shotguns?
1:20 Ulfric Stormcloak?
What is this luck! Just when I finished watching this video. I look on the PlayStation store and find the GOTY edition on sale for $10. This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
3 years later. Now ps store is giving away both DAI and mass effect Andromeda for $12
I put 60+ hours into Dragon Age: Inquisition and was nowhere near finished. The exploration and side missions kept calling me away from the main quest. I'm restarting tonight and I'm determined to finish this great game this time.
WEAK PLOT!? For real? Wow... IGN, stick to rating fps please. You also played this on a console -_-
They didn't have a choice in the matter, they probably got the review copy for PS4. It's definitely going to be superior on PC though.
Edit: Not the story, the general gameplay, interface, etc.
No one will take you seriously with that photo
+Kolbe Howard How does that effect the story
Drew Hendrix I didn't comment on that, the weakness is Bioware games is never the story, I'm sure it's fine, everybody else loved it, this guy probably just didn't agree.
***** Sorry I read to fast. I feel like the story won't be mindblowing but will be a fun ride
It really makes you FEEL like an inquisition.
Here because it's free to claim on EPIC!! May 16th 2024.
the only downside of this game for me is MMO style combat
TheKestevon combat is utter crap
Mad Maestro this game is like £6 on Ps store for the deluxe edition. I’m considering buying it but I don’t want to play a game with shitty combat, what do you think?
@@mclovinjr9086 it's ok. It's mainly strategy based real time combat. Where you switch between managing what you want your party to do and real time action combat.
The combat is Very mmo'ish however. Basic attacks don't stun enemies and what not. However the point is to strategize around the opponent in front of you. Brute force is rarely the way to go in this game.
Frotena and Vasha thank you for the feedback bro, seems like it’s not for me tbh
Yeah...I really want to play it, but this combat style ruins the game for me....
Just wait for Witcher 3.
....why not get this game? I mean I don't have to choose one or the other. I can buy this one, and likely have it beaten before Witcher 3 comes out?
Actually, I'd rather play this and then the Witcher 3. Unless you're one of those bitchers that have nothing better to do than troll on a DAI vid. Yeah, im gonna go with option B ;).
***** How was the Witcher 2 not an RPG????
***** Troll.
yeah, its getting really awkward now *flees*
0:50 enchanters hood and formal ware against a dragon? really?
A vague plot coughskyrimcough9.5cough means 1.2 less points, that's IGN logic for ya.
+John Gangwer Skyrim does open world better than Inquisition. Inquisition is supposed to be more plot driven so ofcourse they take more points off
But the writing and characters are much better.
+KshN86 skyrim also had dumbed down and garbage combat. top that in with few and shitty voice acting, script that is underwhelming, and one of the most anti climatic end game boss battles ever. alduin was a joke like skyrims main quest.
+John Gangwer Don't you mean 0.7 less points? 9.5 - 8.8 = 0.7
John Gangwer 10 is deeeeeefinitelt pushing it. if fallout 4 and witches 3 especially, weren't 10/10, theres no way in hell DAI should
4:00 "congeals" is a very strange word choice...
I finished the campaign yesterday, it took me about 3 years since I’ve played other games and stopped with this one. I was and am still amazed at how wonderful this game is, I’ll be playing it again tonight!! Haha😂❤️
It’s on sale right now for 9.59!!! 😱🤯. Buying it today!
this game is fantastic. i'm 25 hours in and barely scratched the surface. i love how you can free roam into areas where your entire party gets killed on the spot because you're not strong enough to face those enemies yet. leveling up really feels like you're getting stronger
i haven't run into a single bug or glitch and never crashed once. that gets bonus points from me because this game is so massive.
the story and characters are very good as well.
i don't know why this game still gets so much hate. i understood the criticisms of dragon age 2 - i think it's the weakest of the 3 but still enjoyed it, but inquisition addresses many of the issues and it blows dragon age 2 out of the water in terms of presentation and basically everything.
I want to die with police finding me dead in front of my tv screen with this game at 100%
This and the witcher 3 have me incredibly excited
I just bought the game of the year edition for 24 bucks, hope it's worth it.
I was going to get in when I saw it on sale in the psn store. but then there were another 2 games for sale, the witched 3 and shadow of mordor. I'm so lost don't know which one to pick
+Jaden Tep I'd take Witcher 3 or Dragon Age over Shadow of Mordor anyday
I just bought it for the PS3 for 20 €... I hope it's good...
***** Yeah, it's not. Dull as hell.
+ChaoticGameBoy (NintendoMaster) I would at yes I'm really enjoying it
As someone who has played origins to the point where I knew everything about the game inside and out, this gives me anxiety lol. What if I dont like my decisions and I invested so much time in it and how will I be able to 100% it
I find it kinda sad. The fact that Bioware had more development time, bigger budget and Fan's feedback and they still couldn't make the game as good as Origins was. And what is here to blame? Bioware...Or rather Modern Bioware. Origins was a game developed by Old Bioware, people who made RPG gems like Neverwinter nights or Bauldur's Gate. People who knew exactly how an RPG should be made. Inquisition was made by modern Bioware who not only don't understand how a proper RPG should work, but also work together with EA who most of the time just make things even worse. This Reviewer said that Inqusition has all the RPG depth of Origins, No it doesn't, not even a bit. Inquisition is not even a proper RPG, it's your typical console action game but with dumbed down RPG elements. No wonder why half of the old Bioware crew left. Good for them.
You should take expectations into consideration. In most cases, people will never be satisfied with a sequel, this applies to everything. I do agree that some aspects weren't well-developed but I had a really good time with it :p
+Khoa Phan I played inquisition before origins but while I loved origins I was never able to really get into inquisition. The story didn't hook me at all, I keep trying to really get into the game but i just can't and I normally love games like it.
Clif ff yeah it was hard getting into it, the story was really slow at first but it gets pretty good later on. Origins set the standard that was too high for Inquisition imo.
Thinking of buying this now 🤔
Same
Same because it is sale now on PS4
worth it still
I have it and i was thinking if i should download or not

Funny, i've read/watched about 5 reviews now, and every single one except for this one has hailed the plot as the best and most epic in the series. Think he missed the mark here
i think they compared the story to different games
Typical IGN reviews
and everyone else disliked the multiplayer xD
I just bought the deluxe edition off of the ps3 Playstation store... it's weird that the standard and deluxe editions are exactly the same price
I know I was thinking the same
+Muhammad Rash Ahmed on ps4 the deluxe edition os cheaper
This game is do damn amazing. My wife logged 130 hours on this and she's still not down. i've logged about 30. This game is definitely one of the greats of all time. truly a masterpiece. just phenomenal
Weak Plot? now that's disappointing, especially for a Bioware game.
The reviews I read for this game up until now:
Some said the story is awesome, some said it's weak
Some said the main villain isn't just a stereotypical bad guy who wants to destroy the world, some said that he was totally forgettable
Some said the crafting of weapons and armor is good but unnecessary because you find good itens anyway, some said the best itens can only be acquired by crafting
So as you can see, opinions can be highly subjective.
Actually every Bioware game since mid 00's had pretty cringeworthy storyline.
gongal Nope. I love Kotor and also Loved all the MASS EFFECT games
I said nothing about kotor
What should I get, Dragon Age: Inquisition, or The Witcher 3?
+The Veneficus SAME Dilema here! :D
Ďinda S Why is it half the time the only people who respond are the people who are in the exact same situation I am? Hopefully someone will reply and help us out.
I think that the witcher has better reviews but im not sure which is better. i dont know if I should buy da:I or diablo 3 reaper of souls. what do you think?
יהונתן זייד Reaper of Souls. I've got that game. It's great!
The Veneficus thanks :)! Ill probably buy it today
I've never played a DA game before (I know) and I was wondering if this game would be too complex or too unfamiliar for me. I've beaten all the ME games several times and I loved them all. The question is is this game hard to play for a person who's never played one before? All the options on-screen look very confusing.
If Activision was involved this game woulda been 9 hrs long and ZERO STORY. The ending being a fake cause the REAL ending is in DLC.
Don't forget they'll release a new dragon age game every year.
XxX_Doritos_XxX Obviously, why have one 90 hr game when you can have TEN 9 hr games. $$$$
XxX_Doritos_XxX
Have you worked at a Video Game studio? I've had the courtesy of visiting Edmonton and from the looks of it, it's hard fucking work. The crew at Bioware Edmonton worked 14+ hours a day, 7 days a week, for 4 years on DAI alone. If you read press releases from the crew at Edmonton, there isn't a Season Pass, there will be no added companions via DLC, and any DLC coming out in the next few months will be free map additions to the Multiplayer. These guys worked hard and deserve a long sabbatical until they start working on the next game.
rayp526 I am pretty sure he was going along with the joke friendo
my b, then.
Tried playing this a while back after finishing the witcher 3 like 4 years ago and didn’t care for it. Tried it again a few days ago and I’m hooked at the moment.
ok I'm really trying g to get into these kind of games. should I start with elder scrolls marrowind (i played a bit of skyrim) or should I get inquisition?
What did you do?
skyrim definitely
"And amazingly nothing ever feels like filler" he says... Ok, lost all credibility there! All the filler crap is the biggest flaw of the whole game. Collecting shards, the various collect quests, the various sidequests with a very short story that doesn't have any consequence at all. What do you call that? It's filler!
I've put around 110 hours in it, and i'm probably not going to finish it. All the filler content ruined the game for me and burned me out.
U do realize u did not have to played all that filler quests ? lol
chris v this type of game is not the game for you then. I would not say those things ruin the game but in fact make it better for me
The fame is almost all filler. Its sidequests sure and not much of it is necessary and the exploration is equally dull and frustrating. This game beat me once and almost beat me a second time.
Thank you... it’s actually the worst part of the game. No or little story to most side quests and collecting. Feel like you get very little for running over the map endlessly for a bit of wool
Dragon age origins, although there were a lot of side quests, most you could do as following the story... this game went big scale for the sake of going big scale and although there was some amazing places to discover, most were just empty. Also the ‘can you jump up a hill or not’ was frustrating. Having to run around a mountain to get somewhere a few yards away
This game has all the rpg depth of Origins? That's funny. I must have played a different game then. Inquisition is fun to play, yes. But rpgwise is doesn't hold a candle to Origins which is by far the better game. Hell, I even enjoyed DA2 more than Inquisition.
DAO: prostitutes, gifts for your companions, good romance options, endless dialogue choices, speech craft, different origins...Man that game had it all
I agree with you. DAO the best both story and action. I completed and still miss it. DA2, better graphics and spells (since I always play the mage character) and I did finish the main quest as well. DAI, initially much fun to play, even better graphics and spell casting effects, but then the storyline is ... also feel like grinding a lot with sidequests that don't add to the main. Have put DAI aside after putting in many, many hours. Most importantly, why I'm building the castle? The main quest doesn't hold me to the finish line. I may revisit it in future, for sure, but there's so many new and better games out there these days!
PS: I bought the game at C$19.99, so no complaint at the value.
DA2 better?....had a concussion recently or something. Maybe you're just a troll. 😃
people is always gonna say the first games of a series they played is better.
Okay, idea for armors, since the material you choose affects the color, how about other stuff affects the acute size and fit. Like you can make coarts longer, or choose different leathers or cloths to change the texture of the material?
I'm really trying to play this game, seeing that I'm a fan of the previous two. It's just so empty and insubstantial.
***** yup... Beat it three times, one on normal, then uping the difficulting each time.... No character makes the game slightly bareable... and the areas......beautiful when no glitchy but so useless in terms of real world impact

I'm sorry you felt the need to replay it.
lol for the achievements and for demacia
***** Dragon Age 2 is so empty and insubstantial compared to Dragon Age 1 and 3.

And yet it was constrained to a very small setting. I liken it to the phenomena of using smaller plates for meals. Make the setting/serving smaller, and it's less obvious that it's lacking.
Although I love this game. Dragon's Dogma is still my favorite rpg.
Dragons dogma is the best games. Their biggest flaw is their story repetitive playing. Everything else is amazing
Do I need to have played the first few games to understand and enjoy this one? Because I haven't played any of them before but really wanna play this...
Sorta. But if you read a couple of plot summaries of the first two games and get the gist of the story with the templar and mage war you should be fine
Watch Shoddycast Dragon age lore. Its a 10 part series with each video about 5-10 minutes long it should catch you up and also theres the codex in game and you might want to read a bit on the wiki. You can also go on dragon age keep and make your own story in the other games without having to play them.
Thanks both, I appreciate you letting me know so that I'm not left wondering what the hell is going on while playing it.
I've put 75+ hours into this video game and I still have so much more to do. One of the best RPG's of the last decade, in my opinion.
I should've got this when it was on sale on Xbox live, dammit. I think you just have to be in the mood for these kind of games.
One thing i noticed while playing this game, was how little the difficulty setting actually meant. I played on the easiest setting for my first playthrough because i wanted the full experience, without having to frustrate myself with restarting after i died. I had a reasonably easy time, with a few tough fights if you aren't prepared for them. But then i went straight to nightmare, expecting to get my ass handed to me in a purple briefcase, but i never really did; sure i got owned by the first boss in the temple the first time, and the enemies take longer to kill and do more damage, but i never really needed to change my playstyle all that much... Have your shield warrior with as much Guard+ gear as possible guard a spot, a rogue to debilitate enemies and a mage to keep everyone happy, and i was pretty much golden... (i could do whatever i wanted with my own character)
I was told the overhead view was essential to survival, but i never really used it for anything, other then to scope out weaknesses and immunities, set up my warriors position and maybe an ambush from the rest of the squad...
4.99 right now on PS4 store...worth it?
Definitely
Still looks like the best rpg for this year
What competition did it have really, south park: stick of truth, Pokémon OR/AS?
I liked South Park :/
Yeah it hasn't been a great year for RPGs so far. Child of Light and South Park are the only ones of note.
What platform should I get this on and also do you reckon that this game will still be popular during Christmas time?
I'm 200 hours in and it is 9 years later wow.
