Admits to having only played 1 Dragon Age game, but refers to the franchise as one of the most mismanaged in all of gaming.  Admits to never having played Dragon Age Inquisition, yet claims that it only looked good because of medicore competition.  Sounds legit...

Inquisition was a very good game, and I spent a lot of time playing it and greatly enjoyed it for that reason.  Not because "there was nothing else good to play at the time."  Also, I disagree with your comment regarding Shadow of Mordor "being massively overrated".  The whole reason people are up in arms about Loot Crates being shoehorned into Shadow of War is because of how it messes with the great formula (Nemesis system) of the original game.  If Shadow of Mordor wasn't actually a good game, no one would care about the sequel, because there would have been no foundation to be hyped about.

Did you even read the comment? I'm literally going off the fact that I never hear about Inquisition and that many fans have expressed it as being mediocre.

I'm not judging the game so pointing out some kind of hypocriscy or contradiction when it isn't there isn't doing you any favors. That's why I said "Probably". 

Well Shadow of Mordor being massively overrated has nothing to do with it's sequel. I've played SOM and it's decent at best.

On the contrary, I read your comment in full, and understood it fully.  You made a blanket statement that "Dragon Age is one of the most mismanaged franchises of all time" and then have been back-tracking from it little by little ever since.  "Well, I haven't actually played any DA game since Origins", "I'm just going by what other people said", "Well, I said probably only looked good in comparion to mediocre competition."  If anyone hasn't been doing themselves any favors, it's you.

Shadow of War hype wouldn't not have existed before the Loot Box reveal if Shadow of Mordor hadn't been well received.  A lot of people were excited for Shadow of War based on the success and enjoyment of it's predecessor and the Nemesis system.  The PS4 and XBox One versions have user scores of 8.1 and 8.0 respectively.
