It’s better on your mental health, wanting a good escapist game and story, not to have first release bugs interrupting you. Wait for the second patch.
By then, real reviews will make themselves known.
This is the way. There are corpo/early access reviewers who are giving it 10/10s, and I'm also seeing morons screeching about review-boming it because of the DEI/Woke Agenda™️ and that you can make a non-binary player character. It's gonna be a shitshow on release.
Feel bad for the Dragon Age fans, they've been waiting for this for ages.
I’m one of them.
I’m constantly looking for that game format since Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins.
There’s been what? Greedfall. That’s it.
Which is sad. TV series have knocked movies on their asses as the better media lately because they are now the better story tellers. This format of game tells the best stories.
And yet they’re just not being made.
As much as I’d like this game ASAP, I’m still waiting.
I hope Dreadwolf gives you at least a little bit of what you crave, soldier 🫡
For what it's worth, Dragon Age as a fandom has some of the nicest, least gatekeepy gamers I've ever interacted with. I feel really bad y'all are stuck under EA's thumb.
Remember, Bioware started as a love project for DND. Baldurs gate. Neverwinter nights. (NWN was a community!) Some of us are from that time, just old DND people scratching that itch.
Yuuuuuup. Not worth getting a save deleted or dealing with the bugs. Really hoping for it.
Edit: purchased after seeing good technical reviews. Enjoying so far still in prologue. Tone is a bit lighthearted so far. Combat is flashy and fun. Will see how it holds up as time goes on
Man can i just say; fuck those right wing tourists? All their pointless screeching does is drown out actual criticism and give bad developers an excuse to ignore feedback. If they cared they'd actually have something to say, like how the combat shouldn't be hack n slash and is uninspired even for a hack n slash.
I agree with you, same thing happened with Last of Us 2. Valid criticism was drowned out and to this day if you say you disliked any aspect of the game you have to give a disclaimer that it isn't because there were gay/trans people in the game.
