That was… fast? The game hasn’t been out that long, has it?
The game was solid from launch. When a game is an offline, single-player game, with no future content planned, and good QC from the get go, you don’t need a whole lot of updates. You just need to fix the bugs that pop up when the general public with their wide variety of hardware/software configs and gameplay styles that weren’t tested for get their hands on it.
The game was really solid right from launch, so I guess it’s not lacking any updates. Bummer that it’s perceived as such a failure.
The one thing it can’t be criticised for as I understand it is polish. I’ve heard many complaints about almost everything else, but as far as technical matters it seems to have shipped very well optimised and largely bug free - a welcome change from what we’ve grown accustomed to.
Shame about the actual you know, game.
I, for one, loved it. That may not be true for a lot of people, but I’m glad the game was made.
I love the combat system and I think the more action oriented combat is a good change for the system. The story feels much less open world and really heavy on the cutscenes, but it really is more of an action rpg so that’s fine.
I really do think it falls short in the character interactions and dialogue. It feels like you are locked in to playing a really nice character, which I usually do anyway, but it feels pretty campy and limited compared to how varied the old games could be depending on your options.
It does have one of the best character creation processes I’ve ever used.
It’s definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, and it’s a good game, just kinda cheesy which is wildly different from previous DA games. But BG3 exists if you want to play a mean or evil character in a fantasy rpg
It amazes me that the developers and executives really thought they were cooking with this one.
RIP the Dragon Age series.
Mass Effect 5 is going to suck. See the pattern, their last three games sucked.
The last three bioware games or the last three mass effect games?
Of Bioware’s last three games, Andromeda sucked, Anthem was an atrocity, but Veilguard was decent, not great like classic Bioware games, but it wasn’t bad, it was at least fun to play and had a decent story and characters.
Of the last three Mass Effect games, Andromeda sucked, ME3 was great until the Horizon mission then it goes to absolute dog shit, and ME2 was great as a character driven RPG but feels a bit out of place in the franchise as a whole.
Only in the latter case do I really see a true downward trajectory. In the former there’s a tentative upward trend in the quality of Bioware’s games.
Does this really need a post? It’s a single player offline RPG with confirmed no dlc and wasn’t a buggy mess
