Looks fun; I’m digging the art style and the lighter tone of the trailer feels fresh when compared to a lot of what’s out today. I didn’t catch if it was in gamepass though; either way I’m hyped AF for this
Doubt it’ll be game pass day one. Game pass only includes ea play basic tier which doesn’t include big new releases. You’d be better getting ea play pro for a month and unsubbing if you don’t want to play full price to play it at release.
My prediction is that people will overhype it with lots of hopes for super complex systems, call it shit when it has fewer mechanics and civs than 3/4/5/6 with all their DLC, and then eventually decide it’s good after a couple years of DLC and patches.
You know, the usual Civ cycle. I’ll probably buy it day 1 assuming it isn’t actually broken, per usual, and dump a couple hundred hours in it, per usual.
The AI has never been great in the series for various reasons, but for whatever reason it just did not know how to play in Civ6. I’d either get crushed by the bonuses early on if I played on high difficulty or have the game firmly in hand by the Renaissance otherwise. Easily the worst game in the series for me as a result.
Yeah, it seems at a certain breaking point in the difficulty curve it becomes “catch up with the AI boni”, which made it a completely different game for me. And as you said, usually by renaissance you know if this is going to be a landslide victory (which at that point becomes a chore), or if you’re screwed.
Yes pretty graphics are nice, but I have never understood why it seems like all effort to make better game ‘AI’ just completely stopped.
Like I get getting game ai to act ‘real’ is/was virtually impossible, but it’s possible to fake it enough to make it enjoyable and has been for a long while and yet is always an afterthought.
This game looks better every time they show it. Initially I was very worried when they talked about the dreaded project killing words “made for a modern audience,” but it appears this is going to be alright.
Simple, the original team that made DA:O went off to do other things or was promoted into management where they did well, but couldn't replicate the magic of their OG team.
That skull crushing weapon is so satisfying to watch.
Judging from the trailer it looks like we will see more open arenas. Good to see they won’t try to make a repeat of Eternal and instead try new ideas. Looking forward to see how it plays out.
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if the actual game artstyle was like this. Dragon age franchise hasn’t been dark fantasy since DA2, and inquisition hasnt been pretty schizophrenic when it comes to the tone. Might as well go with it and embrace the camp.
