This organization fared much better than the Software Preservation Network, which the US Copyright Office recently barred from lending out copies of retro games themselves. It’s a lot easier to access material about the games.
I was gonna make a joke about Nintendo, but I’m pretty sure they actually sued someone for publicly hosting 30 year old copies of the Nintendo Power magazine.
Is it a bad game? The original Dragon Age is one of my all-time favorites. I haven’t followed Veilgard much, and never played the second one because it requires(required?) the Origins client.
I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.
For all the criticism I have heard about this game, I haven’t seen anyone say it’s buggy or runs poorly. The problems people have with the game are way beyond the scope of bugfix patches, so it kinda makes sense to me that the game is as good as it will ever be.
I mean the game is… okay, anyways. Which in the context of a Dragon Age is disappointing as fuck even after the boredom simulator that was DAI. But it’s not like anything is particularly bad either, not even the dialogue. It’s… fine. Aggressively mediocre, even.
I’ve got two friends that can’t log in anymore. I feel your pain. It sucks a lot for sure. I enjoyed the article, thank you for posting.
One thing I wished they would have explored a little more was the psychological effects these memorial pages have on those left behind. Part of what helped me fully grieve and accept the loss was to eventually stop going to the pages. I guess in some way a false hope kinda starts taking root, at least it was that way for me
I have one friend on Steam who is incarcerated. My best friend that died is on my PlayStation friends, and Fortnite specifically. For the first year I used to log in to see how long it had been since he last played. As time went on I did that less and less. I still view his profile.
I love how you all are so flabbergasted by how simply okay the game was that each and every time someone asks how it is, everyone fumbles for words and cannot express it in any other way than solid, stable mediocre experience. Like lol. So I guess it’s good game, just not a good Dragon Age xD
