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. |
Not really. You're thinking too much into it. I just listed the franchises I could think of off the top of my head. There are probably better examples than Dragon Age. All the other franchises I talked about, I talked from experience. Except Dragon Age, where I went off what i've heard. It's not like i'm hiding my inexperience - or making some big deal about how Dragon Age was handled horribly. People simply questioned why I added that one entry to my list, and I told them directly why I did so. You don't have to get so worked up over it because you liked Inquisition. My position was never that DA was objectively the worst handled franchise ... you're just nitpicking too hard because you don't agree with it's inclusion. It's not my best example, but you don't have to be an ass about it either. I mean jesus, sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry. Do you want a full apology written to Bioware? Seriously, you're thinking too much of it.
Also, you apparently didn't get the point I was making when I said you didn't read the comment. The point was, I said "probably", EXACTLY BECAUSE people like you annoyingly jump onto any sign of negativity towards a series you like. I'm not saying that I know for a fact it's terribly managed, I was saying at the time that it *probably* was based on what the fanbase has told me. Why can't you comprehend that? You're just attacking for no reason.
My point was never that Dragon Age was the most mismanaged franchise of all time either. Don't put words into my mouth. I responded to someone who said that Gran Turismo was, and I showed that there is clearly competition for that spot. I listed multiple franchises, not just Dragon Age, so clearly my position was never that it was the number one mismanaged franchise. Just that other franchises are also being horribly mishandled.
But hey, maybe the fact that so many fans defend the game to death shows that I was wrong and fans actually love the game to death!
Do you even understand the concept of overrated? Let me tell you how this works. I think Shadow of Morodor is overrated. Other people don't and love it. That's why it has a high metacritic score. Showing that it has a high metacritic score doesn't mean it isn't overrated.
I don't know why you keep bringing up the sequel ... when I haven't said anything about it.
