Plz all the DAO talk just stop

[Surreal Gaming]

First this game is not bad is it great no but not bad it is what you expect from a game nowadays. To compare this to DAO is retarded on so many levels. First your comparing it to a game that came out a gen ago when all games were different. Not better not worse different. It would be like comparing wow to EQ. Both mmorpg but different times and dif play styles as a whole. Todays gamers simply dont have the heart or patience for a long drawn out build up rpg. Sry if it offends but it is true. Also your thinking DAO was great cause of the game it self. Your not taking in effect your personal lifestyle at the time your age your amount of time you had on your hands and etc. This game is for better or worse what gaming as a whole has turned into. Dont believe me or what to argue the point fine. Go sit down and play mass effect 1 entire game and then play DAI and tell me your fine with mass effect slow build up Clunky combat and just just tedious walking around back and forth. The story was alot better back then cause sadly you had more time to build it. Nowadays people dont want to spend 3 hours on game before they get the first action part or the first reward. Point being dont blame studios for failing to recapture the magic that you your selves have told them you dont want any more.

Blame EA and the press for boasting about "return to form" and "best bioware game ever". They set the wrong expectations, they reap what they sow.

So you wants older gamers to die and move along? thats what you sayng basically.

WoW still one of the best mmo out there by the way.

Exactly, this also.

Why proclaiming a RETURN TO FORM ,if DAO is old and obsolete.

Quite a contradiction.

This is why I don't suffer fake pretences like this game lightly.

You can't have all the Corpos claiming it's around a 9/10 and politics without fair criticism by 99% of the worlds populous.

What is BG3?

[everybe2]

Yes, past is past. Just drop DAO for good.

[Mugiwara]

So a sequel should be vastly inferior to the first game in the franchise? Just want to make sure I understand you correctly.

BG3 is a 30 minutes skip skip dialogues easy game.

The past is the past.

It is what it is.

Move along.

Older gamers are dying.

The future of gaming is Veilguard.

etc etc

You can't even compare the first 3-4 hours of DA:O with those of this game, it's not even fair. This is definitely the boring game in comparison, at least in terms of story beats and quests.

Video game requires Gameplay, 3 hours without it especially in a Dark bloody Fantasy IP. This is not a movie or interactive movie. And then ontop False advertisement then wonder 'oh why is this game criticised' It's clear some people somewhere shouldn't be decision making.

It is a game you expect nowadays? That's an odd statement to have, innit?

So, expectations are below standard because the people hired to do the job of directing/writing/design/coding/programming/gameplay, all of these positions, all of these teams, full of subpar individuals? Games have become vastly overpriced, games are becoming far too expensive to develop, and standards are somehow worse than they were in the 90's?

How does that make sense? We should compare Veilguard to Origins, and the reason for this is because the former BioWare staff were VASTLY SUPERIOR in every single way imaginable. Why settle for less? Why settle for something worse than what was considered the BioWare B-Team developing Origins in the late 2000's?

And we question layoffs, we question studio closures, but we never question whether these people should even have a job.

By the way, Baldur's Gate 3 contradicts several paragraphs over what the vast majority want from RPG's - As does the success of Wasteland 3, CP2077, Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, MH World, MH Wilds, Disco Elysium, Wrath of the Righteous, Rogue Trader, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Pillars of Eternity, the list goes on.

You should demand more for your time, your money, and have far greater standards than what you consider painfully mediocre.

People with room temp IQs usually don’t understand what comparisons are and why they are a good thing.
