Xeno X & Dragon Age

DA:O was so good that despite my hate for EA i'm going to buy Inquisition.
Xenoblade Chronicles was the best console RPG i played last gen, despute all the goods i had on PS3. I played DA:O on PC though.


And let's be honest, i really enjoyed The Witcher 2, but the hype for the next one feels mostly as early adopters trying to justify jumping on the next gen so soon. And by now i have my doubts about when we will see FFXV, let alone KH3.

Bloodborne and Fable still needs to show much more.

Inquisition has earned a buy from me based on the hype for it thus far. Can't wait to see more of it. I played DA on the 360 and DA2 on the PS3 so my saves don't matter and personally DA 2 wasn't that great for me to care. The next game seems like a truer RPG than just an action game.

I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles Just yet though. I havent played A Monilith game since I had my Playstation 2. Perhaps when I purchase my Wii U they will have a digital version of the game, before I jump on X.  

Witcher 2 in my opinion is the only RPG from last gen that truly gave us what we paid for when we're talking about choice and having those choices affect the world. With sixteen different endings you couldn't go wrong with playing the game multiple times and trying out different choices and meeting new people. Luckily for the PC gamers they got to transfer their saves from one Witcher to the next. 

As for the Square games in FFXV and KH3, I am sure they will highlight Tokyo Gameshow because that show never really has heavy hitters outside of Final Fantasy complete with the usual bowing and ass kissing to the Japanese fans saying "We will give you some games, we swear" and then doing the opposite by focusing on the west once more.

Aside from the Witcher 3, I've never heard of those other games you've listed.

Hmmmm...looks like Obsidian is going back to the drawing board to save money because they lost so much after parting with Bioware. Makes sense. Meh...i'll just wait til I get a fully powered PC and re-enter PC gaming to get into these types of RPG's. Too many AAA's coming out along with school.

Thanks anyway, man.



Depending on how DA:I turns out it might be able to beat Xenoblade for me. But I won't hold my breath.

Do you think Xenoblade will be available on the Wii U digital store?

Well after Bethesda screwed them over with New Vegas royalties (they got an 84 meta, their contract said they didn't get any royalties from sales unless they got 85+ so even tho New Vagas was very profitable they didn't get a cent post release) and an undisclosed major publisher (signs point to MS) cancled a major next gen exclusive without warning. That combined with the rise of Kickstarter caused them to consider crowd funding a project that they had wanted to work on for 10 years that no publisher would fund. Obisdian never worked for Bioware, they did make a couple sequels to Bioware games but that was Atari (Neverwinter Nights) and Lucasarts (KOTOR II) and they got screwed on those as well by the publishers.

They are actually are doing well at the moment they have a bunch of projects coming up and South Park did very well for them. Plus they get to make a classic cRPG like they used to back in the day.

KOTOR was all I ever liked from them and I've never played Fallout anyway. Bethesdas games tend to be quite glitchy. Only PC devs I like right now have all gone to console so i'm pretty cool with it. I'll probably play Fallout on PC with a mod. Bethesdas games are best played on PC anyway because they glitch less than the glitchfest on consoles.
