    I enjoyed the others in the series for some reason, but cautious about this one.

    It’s only Bioware in name. It’s actually a normal corporate just wearing their skin.

      The Bioware we knew and loved has been gone a long time. DA2 was hardly Bioware, let alone Inquisition.

      Look I get what you’re saying, but they’ve realistically made two stinkers, Andromeda and anthem, and I actually like Andromeda not to mention it was made by a completely different and brand new studio that probably shouldn’t have called themselves Bioware.

      I also enjoyed inquisition, it was fun and had a ton of commercial success as well as a really good final expansion that was universally praised. I get Anthem really burned a ton of bridges, but it’s not on the scale that places like Reddit like to make you believe. The gameplay was legitimately fun, the story was awful and all over the place.

        When those two stinkers are the only content they’ve put out in 10 years, there’s not a lot to really build a more optimistic outlook from.

        Even then, Inquisition was iffy and Mass Effect 3 generates bad reactions to this day (though I still enjoyed Mass Effect 3 for what it was).

          LOL no, you’re just trying to farm the Bioware hate circle jerk. Inquisition was fine, mass effect 3 has the best gameplay and storylines of the original trilogy outside of the ending.

          Do better, this isn’t Reddit, you don’t have to “karma farm”.

            No, Inquisition was an incredibly middling game. I dropped it after about 15 hours when I realized I was having no fun.

            If you enjoyed it, great. I still enjoyed Mass Effect 3, too. But they weren’t great games.

              Tell me you got stuck in the hinterlands without telling me you got stuck in the hinterlands.

                I got past the hinterlands. Skimmed through it, in fact, after hearing online that there was nothing there worth doing.

                The rest of the game failed to grip me as much as the first one did, and I didn’t even like DA:O as much as other games in its genre. Granted, I also dropped Dragon Age 2 like a hot potato, so perhaps if I had enjoyed that game more, I wouldn’t have been so turned off of Inquisition for being marginally more tolerable.
