DA:I was an amazing game. Sure it had a shitty MP with microtransations but it didn't affect the main game at all which was (as you say) 60 hours of goodness. Keep in mind you could play through numerous times with a different class, race and team mates, with different actions each time making that 60 into a lot more like me. People don't give DA:I the credit it deserves. You compare it to a lot of games since? MP only microstransaction filled crap most of it. |
Sorry but not in my opinion. I absolutely loved DAO...one of the best games I ever played.
I replayed DAO and DA2 including DLCs in anticipation, before starting DAI. I still can't believe how incredibly disappointed I was with DAI. It was the worst disappointment I ever had with a game in my 35 years of gaming.
The world was huge and beautiful but ultimately feeling empty and lifeless , the characters and writing were bland and only a shadow of DAO, the fighting system was dumbed down and casualised. The quests were full of fetch quests and tedious and boring.
I couldn't even bring myself to finish it after 80 or so hours. Still can't believe how anyone could award it GOTY that year, Granted it was a very weak year, but still. Especially the writing and NPCs were SOOOO TERRIBLE. AAAARGH
Microtransactions had nothing to do with it!
So happy The Witcher 3 saved me a year later.
