@Gelugon_baat: Still the fact that is not credible a site that gave an 8 to an unfinished game (also a "destroyer-of-its-own-saga" game, also the game that its own company apologizes, and their own creators feels shame of it), but online publications sold to us as a game that worth your money. I'll tell you the obvious: you pay, you get your 8 even if you package your own excrement, you don't pay, you get the real note (in best scenario) or under real note (to encourage to pay in the future). Look at the conclusion:
The Good Epic conclusion Beautiful environments Brilliant soundtrack
The Bad Monotonous combat sequences
So, monotonous combat is the bad just what we wanted from this (or any) game that we enjoyed enough to buy more content... (more specific: the bad is the good for a fan of this game). But even if combat was monotonous (as 100% of AAA games out there), that loneliness thing drops the ratio to 5? hum... You could be right and I could be mixing all, but really, since Dragon Age 2 I still having that sensation after each note in big portals...
Most portals really need to do a big mea culpa andprove their sincerity with facts, because youtube is out there and we don't need more notes now, we can see the game in action, and youtubers are 100% honest (at least with themselves) if they don't earn money from companies, just for adds as it should be, because adds came from viewers, and viewers will visit their channels if they feel honesty from them, a thing that (since Dragon Age 2) I don't feel anymore from big game portals, and I'm not alone, Metacritic can testify that with numbers.
@Gelugon_baat: Please... an 8 to Dragon Age 2... really? be honest. And not only this site, all sites, in fact, in Metacritic has 82 while players gave 44 (half!), Howis possible that gap? (and 9 to Inquisition psss)
@jecomans: the problem is that we are in the XXI century, to know the game Youtube is better than a wall of words, these sites must understand that the note is the only that remains, the note goes direct to Meta Critic, the note will filter the games in search results, etc, nobody read walls of words about a game that we can see directly played and perfectly explained in Youtube, and also, I are 100% sure that the youtuber really had played the game (that I really doubt about a lot of written reviews)...
Devs who care about their product, and their users. The exact opposite to selfish ones as ones that denies or even banish (in online mode) the use of mods because they want to sell you some stupid cosmetic stuff (and even they're worse than the worse of the mods). Is great to know that a company want the best for its game.
@Solid_Answers12:yep, both has its pro/cons, I can't understand when a videogame DESTROYS a saga to sell a bunch more to the casual market cofcofGothic4DragonAgeInquisitionDiablo3cofcof... sorry, that cough... To assume a deep saga preserving its lore/style/genre deserves our deep admiration.
@Solid_Answers12: It is probable (mostly because its notoriety I'm afraid), but TW came from real books so they've already has all the universe and most characters already created, while PoE has born from scratch... ;)
@Solid_Answers12: not mention the difficulty to match all possible options, in terms of plot and writing it has the best chances to win (in a fair play of course).
