Wow, this round has had a lot of turnout. And unfortunately Witcher 3 is losing. Some of you guys have way too much faith in the modern EA controlled Bioware, who have yet to prove themselves to be as good a developer as they once were.

Agreed. Bioware is nowhere near as good as they used to be. They used to be the best RPG developers in the industry, now they mainly make action games with some RPG elements. They're not bad, just not want I out of them. There's plenty of action games out there. I need more RPGs. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well this is just nonsense. Origins was published by EA, amazing game. ME2 and were both published by EA, amazing games (and don't gimme that crap about the ending.....ya it was disappointing but that shit was blown way pout of proportion). The only slip up was DA2, which EA obviously rushed like crazy, and have obviously learned a lesson from. 

Every single thing they've shown and talked about for Inquisition looks and sounds awesome.

 

All that said, I really believe Witcher 3 will be probably even better than Inquisition. But I love Dragon Age, and I don't have to wait as long for it so it wins at this point in time for me.

like I said what they can do is make game bundling exclusive to Kinect SKU to keep it attractive... making the the Kinect less SKU relevant only to the Kinect haters and the one that really are tight on money for spending 50 bucks more

and they have to make Kinect more relevant than it is right now... all is not lost... we''l know more at E3 for all we know they'll announce some Kinect killer app... (yeah yeah I know, a man can dream though lol )

Agreed with all of this except for the Witcher 3 part. Tried Witcher 2 and thought the rolling around used for combat was to ridiculous and it ruined my immersion in the game.

 

While DA2 did do a lot of things wrong one of the things they got right was the story. The main story in DA was not that great the little side stories were much better templar/mages the possessed kid.  In DA2 this changed and the main story was very very interesting to me. I always enjoyed the background of the mages and their interactions with templars so I really enjoyed them going deeper into that.

I tried the demo for Mass Effect 2 and didn't really like it, never touched the series since. Dragon Age 2 looked good from the demo, but I later learned that it some severe flaws. SWTOR was good but would have been better had they not cloned WoW's combat. Origins was their best product in recent years but it was mainly developed without the influence of EA, it began development a few years before EA acquired Bioware. But even though Origins has been their best game in recent years, it still metacriticed lower than their previous games such as KOTOR, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Knights, and Jade Empire, and I personally thought it was only about an 8/10, which is good but not great on my scale. 

Don't get me wrong, Inquisition looks good so far, better than both previous Dragon Age games, but pre-release marketing can be deceiving, we've seen other games look amazing pre-release and turn out to be quite bad. I stand by my opinion that Bioware has yet to prove themselves to be as good a western RPG developer as they once were. I remain hopeful that Inquisition will mark a turn around for Bioware, because as you know I badly hope for Bioware to develop KOTOR 3 under the EA-Star Wars partnership, but hopefulness isn't the same as hype for me. And as I said before, it certainly doesn't help Inquisition's cause that it's releasing in one of the two busiest gaming months, a month which is likely to see at least 4 different AAA games release which I want to play, and on the same day as Shadows of Mordor, which I'm currently more hyped for. 


To each his own. We'll have to agree to disagree. Bioware never fell off to me



Jaywood2010 on 14 May 2014

Yeah im going to have to agree with Angelus on this and say Bioware is still a top notch dev

FYI, 360 is still ahead of PS3. It's looking like it could actually be a draw when all is said and done.

Its funny that people really believe that Xbox One won't get continued support from MS. Phil Spencer is gonna make sure the great games keep on coming.
