TBH i personally liked inquisiton as an rpg but as a dragon age game it sucked. The ending made me curious. Dunno if they ll able to pull it off if the story writers are different. With EA nowadays i just wait and see.
The only thing that matters to publishers are the sales numbers, not reviews, not metacritic, not woKEH articles, not ProTrans gaming durr. These publishers are laughing their asses off at the market, they get the LGBWTQi+ onboard and the durr wOKeh!! marketing the game by whining incessidly online about it - but guess what, They STILL buy the next game too.
If this wasn't true, this 4th!!! sequel wouldn't exist. Until a game like Stellar Blade blindsides the industry with billion dollar gains none of this will change. Bet @stormworlf buys this game and pretends he pirates it or something
No, im gonna play it via ea pro or whatever
Last time I did this sort of dirty move was with Ubisoft+ (15 EU for PRO whatever - for 1 month) for testing / trying Avatar + AC Mirage + FarCry 6.
It was a contribution to the corpo behemoth, but a minimal one. Instead of 50(+)x3 games=150(+) Euro, it was only 15...
I managed to survive the regrets I had afterwards...
Having seen the gameplay reveal, I’m not even mad at this point. Why? Because this is the game, combat genre-wise, BioWare has been crawling towards making post DA: Origins. The design philosophy “You press a button and something awesome happens” is clearly evident as well as the inspiration from the likes of Batman: Arkham series, The Witcher 3, etc. They’re quite late to the party though and should up the difficulty moderately since most players now are accustomed to going through some real challenge first to get their dopamine fix. Thanks to the current era of mightily influential Souls-likes.
I didn’t like the claustrophobic city design.
Wonder what gameplay formula nu-BioWare will jump to if this game flops completely.

Finally, a large news outlet stating the obvious issues with Bioware, RPGs etc instead of focusing on relationships / sex / whateverthefuck
I genuinely didn't think there were any gaming publication reviewers with balls left (both literally and figuratively). I'm surprised they let him publish that article. Then again, maybe this will just force EA to write a much bigger check to PC Gamer come review time, to uhm, sort out the confusion. Yea, that's it!

I have no idea who this guy is, but for a Tubetard he's fairly accurate in his criticisms and doesn't come across as insufferable, so definitely not the worst of them.

Yeah he does have some good takes and valid criticisms.
He’s pretty good with salt videos and makes fun of others.
And he doesnt put himself in his thumbnails
Fuck all these utubers, what a waste of time, rambling on and on, who even has time to watch their shit. Can't anybody come up with their own opinion anymore or something? What an absolute pile of garbage there.

Every time I see PCGamer the first thing that I get reminded of is their iconic DA2 review:
Granted, the guy who wrote it likely no longer works there, but it was timeless meme-worthy material much like IGN's reviews. After that, the site embraced incessant and rather insufferable anti-Gamergate campaigns alongside all their activist peers (which went on for years - many never stopped), then the pro Epic phase, and now that Sweeney's marketing budget is running out, they've come back full circle, fondly membering the good ol' Dragon Age and dismissing derpy trends and mechanics. Which is positive I guess but still, as always, whatever shamelessly generates more clicks. Then again water is wet

Back in the late 90's and early 2000's (when they had monthly demo discs and physical magazines), they were great. It saddens me greatly to see whats become of them. In my head, somehow, they above all others would rise above the bullshit. Except they didn't...they fell in lock step with all their counterparts. The hearts of men failed in the end. Sigh.

for some reason i had convinced myself that there was a chance this would play like origins
What would ever lead you to that conclusion? Just, blind hope? Every "sequel" the game has had took it further and further away from the feel of the original in terms of combat and depth.

Late 90s PcGamer was the shit. Those demo discs were a lifesaver when you had a 33.3k modem. Long live coconut monkey!
