I hope this game is really in-your-face with its AGP fetishism. Also, every NPC in the game should be gay with zero explanation for where children come from.

Wouldn't the explanation be Magical babies made by magical dick growing lesbians, or womb growing gay men.

I don't know if that worse or better then the idea of everyone in the game being gay.

Broadly speaking it had a few good ideas in the combat sections, but it otherwise had Inquisition’s pseudo-MMO structure while somehow being far more cringy.

Honestly, Inquisitions pseudo-MMO structure is was killed the game for me and keeps me from finishing it to this day. You can really tell that the game was originally planned to be an MMO, but the MMO hype train started dying around 2012-2013 so they repurposed it into the game we ended up getting.

Say what you will about DA:2, it at least "sort of" felt like DA: O in game play and combat, if nothing else, and it at least carried me through the game. DA:I combat, despite being the most over the top, felt like it had the least amount of weight, and I will never forgive the dumbing down of the talent tree's and stat point allocation. Anyone working on an RPG who pitches an idea to make a game feel less like an RPG should be fired on the spot (or at least given a written warning).

Anyways, while I get everyone complaining about the woke b.s that will inevitably be in the game, I'll bet that's going to be far from Dreadwolfs only problem. We all know that game is going to come out with a tacked on multiplayer mode that's shitty, unnecessary, and drained resources from the main game, over priced micro-transactions for both the single player and multiplayer in an attempt to make it "games-as-service-y", and is probably going to release in a glitched riddled, half finish state due to being rushed out by EA so as to meet the holiday dead-line.

Speaking of which, does anyone want to start making bets on how long it takes before we start seeing price cuts for Dreadwolf after its release? Andromeda barely lasted over a month before big retailers started cutting its price, I wouldn't be surprised if Dreadwolf doesn't even make it a full month before a price drop.

Personally, I’m hoping we get another Fallout 76 situation, where we have retailers giving the game away for free because it’s that shit.

I doubt that’ll actually be what happens, but it’s still hilarious that that happened once…

I want everyone to forget the woke garbage in favor of a game so catastrophically badly programmed that it crashes hard enough to actually kill X-Boxes.

Which, by the way, was alleged to have sometimes happened with Anthem, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.

More than once. There are reports in the thread for The Last of Us Part 2 that in some stores in Asia it was bundled with the Playstation, and it was more expensive to buy it without the game.

There was a second Last of Us? Is this like that second half of Death Note people keep bringing up that doesn’t exist?

Honestly, the direction of making the game more colorful light hearted fantasy is so wrong in many ways.
Dragon Age was made to be a spiritual successor and next gen of Baldurs Gate 2, and it was explicitly designed to be darker, grittier, and more mature. This were all mentioned by the original developers.

DAO arrived and it was great for its time, the fans love it and EA wanting to cash in on the fever, decided to make another sequel fast. DA2 was crappy not only because of the time management, but also reduced the tactical aspect into "press button and cool shit happen" mobile feature.

Making it into generic high fantasy just erased it's own identity. If you asked what makes Dragon Age unique, no one can give you a straight answer. From one concept to another, you couldn't confidently say "this is Dragon Age". But if you show a Soulsborne concept art, most Souls fan would immediately recognise it.

Increasingly it looks like the answer will be, "It's super fucking gay." And the developers will giggle and say that's a good thing, all while never understanding why the game is a flop.

Honestly? Don't care. I gave up on Inquisition because it was a mess plotwise, they binned the awesome tacital real time with pause combat that had served them well for years in favour of generic cooldown management shite, and most of the henchmen you could recruit were dull as fuck and a ticky-box diversity questionnaire as a whole.

Hopefully Obsidian's Avowed (set in the Pillars of Eternity world) will be better, but given how Pillars 2 flopped (because they forgot to market the fucker) I'm not holding out much hope for that either.

Well, to be fair, Pillars wasn't any better when it debuted. Was POE2 actually better?

Mixed bag when it comes to certain options. Had some serious balance issues, fuckton of bugs, and its turn based mode wasn't present at all. Its naval combat was actually slightly shittier which is impressive given its a text based battle.

Pillars 2 didn't flop because they forgot to market it but it flopped because it was shit.

Im a huge crpg fans, but even I can't stand the shitty plot and mechanics. Doesn't take a genius to know that answering multiple choice questions (ship battles) is an idiotic game mechanic.
