    That's not BioWare/EA job. They are in the business to make mass accessible action games labeled as an "RPG". As long as it continues to sell they will continue to laugh all the way to the bank...

    If you can still not decide to buy the game, I can recommend this totally serious 10/10 Metacritic review:

    I bet this is one of those fake account EA makes to review their games on Metacritic.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware/EA are padding metacritic user reviews again. Their games really need it.

    It was obviously not mine. Why would I have a metacritic account? LOL

    Also, I'm very sure that it's satire.

    It's still bumping up the user scores by 10 points, so it's practically indistinguishable from a positive review for the uninitiated.

    "I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware/EA are padding metacritic user reviews again. Their games really need it."

    Yeah, because pro BIO/EA people are the only ones 'padding' the scores. No doubt plenty of 'haters' are giving ridiculous low grades . Hell, there's a guy on the Obsidian forums bragging about giving it 0/10 and he hasn't even played it yet argues that it's a proper 'review'. LMAO

    People who give games 0/10 or 10/10 - espicially without playing it first - are scumbags who ruin the entuire system. Good thing i don't really take other people's opinions seriously. L0L

    Hey Volly my Metacritic review, I didn't play it too just watched some videos, unfortunately it was 0/10:
    Show Spoiler

    This game is a disappointment, don't trust the positive reviews. If you like WoW combat and quests, go buy Lords of Draenor, it is a much better investment. They tried to copy Skyrim but this game doesn't come come even close, it is just WoW single player. I was expecting more elaborated sidequests and main quests but the ending result was sad to see, the game is full of repetitive and boring busy work quests with no well crafted story on sight.

    The combat... it's awful, it is basicaly a hot key based WoW but single player, if you liked the tactical combat of Dragon Age: Origins, you are for disappointment and if you expected good action combat, buy Dragon Dogma instead. Actually, This... is just awful. I'm not a hater, I liked every single Bioware game released so far but this made me sad, Bioware got out of its way on this one. They are amazing storytellers, that crafted some of the best video game stories but this time...it pains to say this but Mass Effect 3 had a better story line and quests.

    Don't let the game media fool you again, it was the same thing with Mass Effect 3.

    Liked my performance?I tried to not to be a hater in there and be completely fair.:troll:

    Nice troll, but reviews are meaningless to me. Only lemmings based their gaming habits on others opinions - be they positive or negative.

    It's seriously the most boring area design ever. Hills and grass, wow, my balls are on fire from such artistry. I've never seen hills and grass before, no sir. Can't just walk out my back door and see that, nope. Pictures of future areas don't look much better. Forests, beaches, etc. No real flair to any of it, it's just there.

    To be fair 90% of games have this same problem.

    Do they issue a refund to your credit card directly or is it Origin credit?

    "The staff members may not be ignored" so I have to reply to you.
    After all the shit with NSA, Libya and stuff, the "tinfoil hat" and "conspiracy theory" phrases lost all their meaning. You are either some kind of shill, or an extremely dumb person (or most probably both).

    wow killing rams,picking random flowers,looting iron,auto attacking sure is fun.
    There was 0 meaningful encounters let alone combat in these 21 minutes. And it was even faster then normal.
    Truly a Citizen Kane moment in gaming history.
    Also rift closing is about as same as in RIFT mmo (clone of WoW) I am not even kidding literally same all with waves :lol:

    Oh wow, so now they got beat in the story department by fucking Bethesda?
    [​IMG]

    Also 10/10 reviews all over the web for an RPG without decent leveling mechanics and with subpar combat for both action and tactical combat fags? Who are all these morons and where did they come from?
    At least 4players gave it 59% and wrote a lengthy rant. Luibl, the last man standing against the popamole.

    You don't even get auto attack, you have to hold down RMB the whole time. Really adds to the visceral combat to hold a button down!
