This should just be called Dragon Age: Fortnight.
The trailer tells me everything i need to know. They ran the numbers and concluded they might get a few more sales if they changed the style. No matter if it comprimises the gravity and seriousness of the game. Defenders will say the tone doesnt bother them. To me, of course it matters. Imagine if they changed the finale of the Godfather to anime style.. This Franchise is dead.
DRAGON AGE: Captain Planet and the Race Ark
I love origins
I certainly won't be buying this. I only recognised Varric because of Bianca. The character models are too cartoony a'la Fortnite. Awful dialogue which simply does not fit into the era of the game setting. A Vell jumper ? That's the mystery and danger of the Veil destroyed. Ye Gods. Too much emphasis has been put into trying to be Marvelesque and Marvel itself is doing it's best to plummet off a cliff.
I loved the tactic system in origins, being able to set different commands in increasing complexity for each companion was really neat
Great stuff. As soon as I saw the trailer I was interested in your take.
Remake for DAO, watched my dad play when it came out and I was four and he let me play it and I fell in love with the series. Honestly now I’m just disappointed and tired as an adult, but I still go back and play the games and I will play this one until it fractures what left of my love for the series.
Ok, TIME OUT! Why? Because you forget that Thedas is not exactly like the middle ages! How? Well, for one this world was once Elfs and Dwarfs only (at least in lands we know of - the humans come from somewhere else!), but also the Tevinter Imperium once controlled everything we know! Ferelden, Orlais, Nevarra, Kirkwall, Starkhaven, Antiva etc....people moved and mingled (hell, some are Elf-Blooded like Alistair, who's mother is Fiona!), so you don't have fixed Ethnicities in a certain area! There is no "Blacks are all from Tevinter" or "Asians are all from the free cities"...nope!
In DAI I don't truly have a favourite...hell, I don't like most DAI-Companions! I like Cassandra, Varric, Cullen, Josephine, and that's basically it! Hell, I would have liked Dorian if they hadn't made him gay ("Put a pretty dude in there! Make him gay!" - Imagine CARTMAN saying that!)...the others? SIGH...I'd love to exchange all of them for the cast of Origins or even DA2 (and I didn't like all DA2-Companions either, didn't like Fenris much for example and I loath Carver! If I ever play that game again? I've heard of a mod to make Bethany survive even if you are a mage yourself, so fuck you brother! You damn betrayer! Joining the Templars! If that isn't betrayal I don't know what is!)
The original idea for Dragon Age 4 reminds me of this early 2000's game I think was simply called "Pandora's Box".
Bioware is dead after this. This is essentially the latest saint row. EA will cancel the studio. I'm calling it
The last nail in the Bioware coffin .
When it comes to "gratuitous violence" or edgy for the sake of being edgy, i agree, it's unnecessary and stupid. But, there are a lot of things that have double standards or a exagerated sense of "sanctity", that need to stop.
If you like dark fantasy so much I recommend to check out Gothic. It's quite old german RPG with an amazing story that takes place in a penal mining colony. This game has big fanbase in central and eastern Europe but not so much in the anglosphere. Anyways cool video, I'm waiting for more
DA:O is one of my favorite games!
I replayed Inquisition earlier this year. Wheb I saw the Veilguard trailer and gameplay preview? Oh dear...
But you know there wouldn't be ANY white people in a game set in Africa or "fantasy africa" unless he (because let's face it, it would be a he) is a mustache twirling badguy
Yeah, this new game (Veilguard) looks like a mix of Dragon Age, Mass Effect (Andromeda to be exact, as the other games had more than 3 ability slots!), Cyberpunk 2077 (We are getting a "Johnny Solashand" after all and Minrathous looks like a dystopian cyberpunk city!) and Overwatch...I've taken to calling it Dragon Effect Thedas :(
New vegas is my dragon age origins, 76 was a spit in the face, havent even bothered with 4 since. However i regularly return to fallout 1 and new vegas
