Gamespot: "Playing ME:A left us conflicted"

>not the latest build!

If I had a dollar for devs telling gullible drones to not worry about a game preview build being crap and to expect a superior one on release only to find out it's the same version with all the flaws present, then I'd be a millionaire.

We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves....alot of previews all have one thing in common and that there are performance issues and animation issues that still need to be addressed. Now I don't know what the deadline is as far as polishing goes, but if there are still issues here and there and the build that gaming sites was playing was from an earlier build, it's possible that those issues are being or have been addressed at this point.

What might be a bit concerning is that Bioware stated these gaming sites couldn't record their footage....so idk. The very latest vid released concerning combat...looked ok. My only real concern at this point in terms of combat is there an option for us to combat roll?....I'm a bit old school, and it may change when i actually get my hands on the  game itself, but i'm not fond of hovering in mid-air shooting at enemies from above.

Don' get get me wrong i like that they are making attempts to make the combat fresh, I just wonder if there are options for traditional combat.... 

That's unfortunately very true. We can hear stories of 5 gorillion bugs removed since disarming the turian, but it can be just an expected number of bugs in such a period in an AAA game development, and we must remember that the reporter had concerns even with being in a situation of playing preview builds numerous times. I have no doubt that if the reporters were allowed to record not spoilery parts of the build we'd be sitting on a meme gold mine.

Combat parts are probably okay. It's the close-ups and faces Bioware are probably scared to show to avoid more bad PR and screenshot comparisons with TW3.

Christ I hate the "feels like DA:I in space" bullshit.

Why? Why exactly does it feel like DA:I in space?

Is it because it has large zones for exploration? Tons of games have that, doesn't mean they're re-skins.

Is it because you can harvest materials when out exploring? Tons of games have that, doesn't mean they're re-skins..

Is it because of the combat? Last I checked, ME is a shooter and Inquisition is not

IS it perhaps because of the visuals? Not possible, sci fi and fantasy tend to look somewhat different. (Though now I kinda want elves in space) 

Hmmm...is it perhaps because of the story? Oh yeah, I forgot that the Inquisition journeyed into space to find a new home for the Mages.

The whole argument is baseless and pathetic. People keep complaining that it looks or feels like DA:I in space and then providing very flimsy reasons for that. Put more thought into it then maybe your argument for why the game is bad will actually be more than just baseless complaining.

In all honesty, "improved Dragon Age: Inquisiton" and "DA:I in space" sound pretty good to me.

LMAO.

Funny enough, Shinobi only quote the most favorable quotes too even from the more cautious previewers in the GAF thread. I think it's good to show not every outlet was skeptical but I still think it's pretty fair to say that for a game in this franchise there should've been more hype at this point and you can't just force it because people judge what they see. It's not just us or other fans but the people finally getting to play it will react the same and "Far more than DA:I in space" seems to me like a statement that's kinda apologetic and aware that it's going against the grain.

Technical and performance issues reported so far seem typical of modern AAA title game, especially ones based on Frostbite engine.

So, really, you're overdoing with fears guys.

Would it help if they qualified it a bit? DAI feels like ME1 [in the respect that it has large empty spaces]. I kinda assumed that was implied.

So, we should be happy about sticking to technology that carries with itself known technical problems? Okay.

Sorry, but if I tried to hit a nail with a screwdriver you wouldn't blame the screwdriver manufacturers but rather call me an idiot for not picking a hammer.
