MargotRobbie, do games w Dragon Age 4's New Name Is 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard,' First Gameplay Look Next Week

I hope Bioware go back to their roots and take more inspiration from DA:O and BG3 instead of DA:I and go back to more tactical and less action-y gameplay. The overwhelming success of Baldur’s Gate 3 proves there is a market for traditional CRPG, especially coming from the the studio that made the first two Baldur’s Gate.

Also, less Ubisoft/Skyrim-esquelarge empty open world and more carefully crafted maps with emphasis on choices. DA:I wasn’t a bad game, but if Bioware releases another DA:I in 2024 it will definitely be compared unfavorably to Bg3.

pm_me_anime_thighs,

I remember the leaked(?) gameplay a while ago showing how it was very action heavy clearly inspired by the God of War reboot. But then BG3 happened and I would feel really bad for the devs if they were told by management to pivot and just copy another game instead and now theyre remaking the game yet again… I honestly have no faith in the gameplay being anything near as good as Origins, but hopefully the story and world and characters can be good? Do good writers still work at Bioware anymore?

I enjoyed the others in the series for some reason, but cautious about this one.

It’s only Bioware in name. It’s actually a normal corporate just wearing their skin.

eutsgueden,

The Bioware we knew and loved has been gone a long time. DA2 was hardly Bioware, let alone Inquisition.

Defaced,

Look I get what you’re saying, but they’ve realistically made two stinkers, Andromeda and anthem, and I actually like Andromeda not to mention it was made by a completely different and brand new studio that probably shouldn’t have called themselves Bioware.

I also enjoyed inquisition, it was fun and had a ton of commercial success as well as a really good final expansion that was universally praised. I get Anthem really burned a ton of bridges, but it’s not on the scale that places like Reddit like to make you believe. The gameplay was legitimately fun, the story was awful and all over the place.

Stovetop,

When those two stinkers are the only content they’ve put out in 10 years, there’s not a lot to really build a more optimistic outlook from.

Even then, Inquisition was iffy and Mass Effect 3 generates bad reactions to this day (though I still enjoyed Mass Effect 3 for what it was).

Defaced,

LOL no, you’re just trying to farm the Bioware hate circle jerk. Inquisition was fine, mass effect 3 has the best gameplay and storylines of the original trilogy outside of the ending.

Do better, this isn’t Reddit, you don’t have to “karma farm”.

Stovetop,

No, Inquisition was an incredibly middling game. I dropped it after about 15 hours when I realized I was having no fun.

If you enjoyed it, great. I still enjoyed Mass Effect 3, too. But they weren’t great games.

Defaced,

Tell me you got stuck in the hinterlands without telling me you got stuck in the hinterlands.

Stovetop,

I got past the hinterlands. Skimmed through it, in fact, after hearing online that there was nothing there worth doing.

The rest of the game failed to grip me as much as the first one did, and I didn’t even like DA:O as much as other games in its genre. Granted, I also dropped Dragon Age 2 like a hot potato, so perhaps if I had enjoyed that game more, I wouldn’t have been so turned off of Inquisition for being marginally more tolerable.

pm_me_anime_thighs,

Ah, the classic reddit “you disagree with me you must be a troll/bot/karma farming”

Do people still care about Dragon Age?

I played 1, was underwhelmed. People made lame excuses for it like “Oh, but it wasn’t developed by Bioware’s a-list team…”

Then 2 stunk up the joint.

I don’t even REMEMBER 3.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I haven’t played 2 or 3, but calling DA:O bad is a bit of a hot take. What did you not like about it?

While the overall plot is fairly standard issue fantasy save-the-world fare, I think the execution and the RPG aspects were excellent. How the game really made your choice of origin matter was incredible to me, and I enjoyed several of the characters too.

It does look like shit though, I’ll give you that. I wish it was less depressingly brown-grey washed out looking.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

First, it was on the Xbox 360 but looked like an Xbox game.

Second, the plot was so hackneyed. Literally every event was telegraphed by miles.

Madbrad200,

I still remember the ordeal of getting through the Fade portion of Origins… it was awful.

The rest of the game was top notch though

simple,

I don’t even REMEMBER 3.

Dragon age inquisition is pretty well received from what I’ve seen. It wasn’t amazing but I don’t think the series is as dead as you might think.

Renacles,

Inquisition came out at a time where we had no good games for an entire year, it’s pretty bad.

ramius345, do games w Dragon Age 4's New Name Is 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard,' First Gameplay Look Next Week

This might actually make me play something other than bg3.

Madbrad200,

I’m cautious about this game. It’s been redeveloped like 3 times into completely different genres, pretty much nothing has been shown about it, and Bioware is nothing like it was years back.

ramius345,

Ugh I forgot they had that EA stank all over them.

gusgalarnyk, do games w Path Of Exile 2 Begins Early Access Later This Year And Is Coming To PS5

I’m stoked, the ARPG genre feels stale. Hopefully they keep up what seems to be engaging combat. No rest for the wicked is still in early access and D4/LE/POE1 have very unrewarding combat IMHO.

This can’t come soon enough.

Ultraviolet,

I’m cautiously optimistic. It looks like a solid core for combat, they need to keep the power creep in check. Most of PoE1’s issues stem from the fact that an optimized build just one-shots everything, and the bandaid fixes that try to fit a source of challenge into that meta.

Phegan, do games w Path Of Exile 2 Begins Early Access Later This Year And Is Coming To PS5

I can not wait.

Etterra, do games w Netflix Announces Minecraft Animated Series

They REALLY missed the boat on this one. Maybe if it was 8 years ago. Nobody’s gonna care now. Minecraft is old and leans too hard on bedrock, nevermind that it was PC early adopters that made it what it is. This is the problem with success; it makes good indie stuff with potential into sold-out corporate trash. Happens all the time and Minecraft is no different. Eventually it’ll get sold off to some holding company in Romania or something and be deleted from the Internet.

My kid is under 10 and absolutely adores all things Minecraft. He will be over the moon to hear this news. So will all his friends.

taiyang, do games w Netflix Announces Minecraft Animated Series

Natural next step, given the riveting narrative of the games. Truly a masterpiece in story telling.

Real talk though, you haven’t lived until you played Minecraft in VR and looked an enderman in the eye. It hits on another level when it’s literal eye contact, like looking at the wrong guy on the bus and getting murdered for it.

SatansMaggotyCumFart, do games w Netflix Announces Minecraft Animated Series

I can’t wait for Chris Pratt to be voicing Steve.

NocturnalMorning,

Don’t be so sure. It could be Dwayne Johnson.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Bill Murray, if he likes the director.

Quick, someone find a Quimbley Tarantino or something to hire so we can put Q. Tarantino on the script!

Was a fun series.

DarkThoughts, do games w Netflix Announces Minecraft Animated Series

They went full toddler mode with MC a long time ago. No thanks.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Surely this was after “Story Mode” I’m guessing?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer,

I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.

DarkThoughts,

No idea. Never played it, no idea when it came out, never cared for it. I don't think it was necessarily a straight cut from one to the other but a gradual transition through various changes with the game and the company. I'd hazard a guess that this transition began before Story Mode though, even if it wasn't as apparent at the time, as it is today.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

I honestly thought it was when dungeons came out

Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

There is also a separate live action Minecraft movie in the works. With Jack Black playing Steve.

Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that’s the target audience.

Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won’t mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

GameWarrior,

I guess so. I just don’t see where they’re going with it.

sushibowl,

When your audience is five years old you don’t really need to go anywhere with it.

Jyrdano,

I still cant get over the fact the game I played when I was a teen 15 years ago is such a huge hit among kids now.

Stovetop,

It’s the video game equivalent of Legos. I think it has staying power in a way few other games have, precisely in the same way that Legos have remained popular toys for generations.

Ibaudia,
@Ibaudia@lemmy.world avatar

Minecraft is the most popular video game to ever exist in human history and someone thinks that is an easy market to capitalize on.

citrusface,

I legitimately cannot understand how anyone is excited for the same game for the 6th time, but y’all do you. I’m not gonna yuck your yum.

accideath,

I didn’t even notice BO4 and 5 were a thing…

ripripripriprip,

For me, it’s free and I haven’t played since blops 2, so it’s kinda cool.

citrusface,

Fair fair fair - you do you fam.
