People thinking/wanting this to be Dragon Age Orgins 2.0 need to remember Dragon Age never tried to be that again. Like it or not that was something Bioware didn't want to put out again. After that the games were more focused on action. If two out of three games weren't strategy-oriented I'd say the series stopped being that. For me, it was a blessing, Origins was such a chore, from the gameplay to the writing. Finished like 6 times both 2 and Inquisition, got the Platinum in both but never went back to replay Origins.
You have a race elf-like characters, a race that looks like humans with horns characters, some other race that look like animals, then you have a race with animal tails, and fairies. And that's just some of them. I'd say that's diverse.
Even Steam isn't as reliable, I've known of people just buying a game to review it badly and then refund it. But at least the effort that takes means most of these people don't do it.
Do you recommend any specific build/class for a total noob? I haven't played (and finished) a cRPG in my life but I've bought both Pathfinder games and have them on my backlog.
"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the exact... same effing thing... over and over again expecting... sh#t to change..."
I 100% agree. In my case, I even found the story kinda generic. But yeah, my favorite character was the dog too, haha. I liker Leliana a bit, but I prefer her on Inquisition. And yeah, gameplay was pretty bad even back in the day. But I forced myself to finish it to play 2 and later Inquisition and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Must have finished those two games at least 5-6 times each. Amazing games.
At least they know it was repetitive. They need to fix a lot more stuff thought.
There's this video in YouTube of a guy fighting every enemy with the same stance using only one button and the enemies can't do sh#t. That's pretty bad.
The AI was laughable too. Even if the enemy was right in front of you and already chasing you, as long as you hid under a house you were safe. They would just stay there a few seconds and then leave the area and the search. Kinda funny stuff.

I think the last GOTY winner I actually liked was The Witcher 3 back in 2015.
Re: Opinion: The Game Awards' Persona 3 Reload Disrespect Is Crazy
Decent game that's not even a new thing and just a copy and paste of P5.
Didn't deserve anything.

Every anime style not being mainstream DBZ stuff = generic.
Really? 😂

Re: Assassin's Creed Syndicate 60fps Patch Out Now on PS5, PS5 Pro
Still one of my favorite classic Assassin's Creed. Not as good as Odyssey for example but still an incredible game.
Re: Capcom Strategy Game Kunitsu-Gami Fails to Meet Sales Targets

And then you need to wait for the PS6 Pro to finally run the game as it was intended!
Re: Hands On: The Last of Us 2 Marries Visuals and Frame Rate in PS5 Pro Game Changer
No, no. Needs a remake.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reveals Players' Most Popular Class, Race, and Faction
I thought dwarves finally could be mages after The Descent DLC from Inquisition, but I guess not.

Re: SEGA Is Delisting a Bunch of Retro Games, And It's Got Fans Thinking
As a big SEGA fan I already have most of those (there's some I don't care about).
So it doesn't affect me, but still sucks.

Sony sure made history with this one. Like E.T for Atari levels of history.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@Kraven
How dare you like a game that I won't be playing!
I need to make sure everyone knows of my hate for it. I hope the devs and their families all lose their job! 😡
Or something like that. How did I do? 😂
The real, valid complaints I've found are: past decisions don't matter except for a few. That's a bummer.
The combat is too action-oriented. Fair enough but I actually like that. I never played Dragon Age for the combat.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
I'm glad the game is good but "best Bioware game since ME3" doesn't mean anything. 😂

The opinion of anyone who uses "could of" instead of "could have" should be discounted too.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024?
Already played WWE, and played Doki Doki years ago when it released on PC.
No interest on Dead Space, so bad month for me.
Re: Atlus Fans Don't Think Xbox's Marketing Is Doing Metaphor: ReFantazio Justice
I mean, I know I'm not the target audience of the marketing, because I don't need it to choose which games I'll buy.

You didn't enjoy the first one? I thought I was the only one.
Re: Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe Behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Rousing Soundtrack
Balfe also worked in, you know, Assassin's Creed III which had an amazing soundtrack.
