This weekends demo made me feel a bit better about the game, but still not as excited for it as I was before the demo. Probably good to get a reality check on my expectations anyway. Anybody try the titan storm event going on right now?

No, the 'stronghold' put me off completely. What was it?

Are you kidding? The whole gaming Internet talks about Anthem, RE2-remake and Metro: Exodus now. It seems they've lost their creativity - every website has the same.

But well, I am happy I'm not the only one who is not interested so much.

I didn’t have a chance to try it because I was at a Super Bowl party.  But it sounded pretty cool.  A storm of creation ripped through the game world and was spawning tyrants.

The Division got a lot of improvements, but yeah...it’s a similar situation, downgrade and everything.

I tried Anthem again yesterday, only to come out even less impressed. Fort Tarsis is such a sterile and lifeless hub..it’s even worse than DAI and MEA. People don’t move around...just stand their in their loop, pretending to talk...not even moving their lips. 

I’ve found Matthias’ character model, a main character, reused with different clothing and facial hair styles all over Tarsis.

It all just seems so last gen to me, when it should feel next gen.

Trying a few co-op missions with strangers was very disappointing too. Everybody just rushed through, so I was just trying to keep up. No visible cooperation.

It makes me sad...unless Drew Karpyshyn wrote an amazingly epic story, I can’t see myself buying this at all. The writing and dialog choices seem so meaningless as it is.

I don’t know why, but even though I hated Inquisition and didn’t even look at Andromeda because of that, I somehow had hope Bioware would find to old strength again, with Casey Hudson and Karpyshyn on board. For now I’m better burrying my hopes. 

Inquisition was amazing! Step up from Dragon Age 2 in every aspect.
Andromeda was meh.

Not really...Inquisition was not as buggy as Andromeda but had similar problems. Shallow writing, boring characters, dumbed down and less tactical gameplay, repetitive fetch quests and huge and beautiful world which still felt sterile and empty.

In retrospect even DA2 was a better game, especially the writing was much, much better.

It‘s fine that you liked it. I didn’t and I played it right after I had replayed DAO and DA2 with DLCs. It was the sole worst disappointment I ever had from a game.

Each to their own... I played all three games the day of their release... And Inquisition was easily the second best game in the series after Origins in my opinion.
Loved the story, the lore, the visuals, characters, open spaces, musical score... All of it.
