Do not watch the following video if you don't want to be spoiled on FFXIV ... stuffBut in all seriousness, I'm waiting for a Western RPG team to produce something epic like this: I'd forgotten how long that vid is (still love it to bits)
my brother once tried to have me play FFXIV with him, but I never really got into it (turns out I'm not one for multiplayer games in general anyway )

Yeah, JRPGs have always kicked ass at cutscenes and cinematics for some reason. But the gameplay and dialogue usually leave something to be desired.

Amazingly, I've never seen that trailer. Me either. I happened to stumble across a YouTube channel called gamermd83, and the owner of channel mentioned how one of Dragon Age: Origins trailers had heavy metal music playing in it. I got curious, and sure enough lol. Not gonna lie, I don't think the type of music choice would have flown in todays day and age.

I watched that thing over and over...I liked it better than the other pre-rendered/non-engine trailer for Origins "Sacred Ashes". Got goosebumps watching it again - cheers.

If anyone knows anything about the SJWs, it's that they all hate heavy metal music.

Really? I watched that thing over and over...I liked it better than the other pre-rendered/non-engine trailer for Origins "Sacred Ashes". Got goosebumps watching it again - cheers. Maybe it circulated in console-specific channels? Maybe? I think that's the Xbox360/Ps3 trailer. Sorry for hogging it. I watched it over and over as well, though I do like the Sacred Ashes one better. You get a strong sense of realistic teamwork and party dynamics and the badass abilities they have. I enjoy that very much. I try so hard to keep away from the sort of people who used the term "SJW" unironically that sometimes in my innocence I feel like your aggression is a tad preemptive. But then the universe sees it fit to insert the likes of the following in my way, while I was browsing reviews to try and decide whether Pathfinder: Kingmaker is worth my time and money: So here's my request for what DA4 should feel like: by all means, Bioware, go crazy with the ultrafeminist women, pussy dwarves, and cuck orcs qunari. I want the Codex's screeches to be heard from the four corners of the Internet. Come on, that's kind of funny. The guy clearly has some frustrations to get out of his system, and playing a video game from the perspective of a complete ultra-conservative machismo and writing a ranting user review is certainly less harmful or disrespectful than other outlets I can think of. It's a bit much to assume that he represents anyone or anything real and wide-spread that others need to be snap-judged and insulted for. Someone out there will always be having a moment like that, no matter what you do. Why should it inform how we treat each other beyond that?

I want the Codex's screeches to be heard from the four corners of the Internet. In my admittedly limited experience, once you start peeling away the arbitrary nonsense terms like "darkness" and "maturity", you inevitably uncover a writhing mass of prejudice and entitlement. The pattern is well-established across all gaming forums I've ever visited. Feminist women are somehow always poorly written, while subservient sex dolls never are. LGBT and POC characters always wind up being shallow and pandering, while excluding or murdering them is just good old, traditional artistic integrity. I'm not a bigot, I just want games to he good again. The fact that making them good again involves excluding, stereotyping and demonizing minorites is just an unfortunate coincidence.

It's funny, in my rather more extensive experience, once you start peeling away such things as calling "maturity" or "darkness" arbitrary nonsense, and a lot of 'always's and 'inevitably's in sentences when just referring to people, you uncover the exact same thing with an added side of tunnel vision, self-righteousness and, yup, lack of experience. What helps keep me more or less calm is the knowledge that while the kids who think in such shallow ways are very noisy and pathologically seek to kick up a fuss and derail and garner reactions, they're proportionally a tiny minority and are mostly ignored by the vast majority of people who couldn't care less about absolutist assholes of any kind. Except to be annoyed at having pleasant conversation interrupted by their little songs and dances.

Blizzard has made it a point to make Diablo 4 more in line with the dark roots of the original and I for one couldn't be happier. Now if Bioware would also look more at the originals moving forward I'd be pretty darn happy.

Now if Bioware would also look more at the originals moving forward I'd be pretty darn happy. I couldn't agree more. My very first impression of Dragon Age as a brand was an interview including a gameplay demo some time before release where an elven cutthroat maneuvered behind enemies and shoved knives in their backs while a heavily-armored warrior kept them distracted and an exotic and wild and evil-looking witch provided artillery from behind, using frost spells to quell enemy fire traps and combining grease and fire spells to catch and burn them to death while moving through and systematically clearing a burning and desecrated Tower of Ishall. There were no crazy costumes or shiny beautiful faces or overly flashy abilities, just rags and steel and dirt and decomposing bodies just barely dragged out of the way and lots and lots of blood. I've never forgotten that raw and gritty demo, and think back to it every time I feel like starting another play-through. Anyone else remember this?:

This was the best DA trailer. Has a cool mini narrative, has edge to it and adult atmosphere. I'd kill for the series to embrace this style again.
As well as greater realism. Just not a fan of the splodey, arcade-like style that DA2 established.

I don't know, obviously this comes down to whether you can appreciate the music or not but i always found the 'metal trailers' to be over the top 'look at me I'm mature' rather then actually being mature.

Heh - I actually actively dislike the music when listened to alone, but when they were applied to the trailers, I really liked the duality. Given what I remember about the "rage" the trailers invoked back in the day, I'd say that qualifies as a minority opinion, though. I will say, I never saw them as attempting to seem "mature" for the use of that music, though. Just...different.
