3 new Dragon Age Trailers from San Diego Comic Con

[Jaesun]

I don't see what the big deal is. It looked fine to me. It is certainly better than fallout 3.

I still really have no interest in the game. *waits for bargain bin*

They weren't having sex. She was still wearing her medieval underwear.

Serves me right for not actually watching that shit, I guess. Still, the couple could've been dwarves.

 

[Suchy]

What's up with the idiotic anime sword trails? Why the hell are they in EVERY FUCKING GAME?

 

[Data4]

Looked more like a chastity belt to me.

 

[xantrius]

Game looks way beyond excruciatingly meh, but I'll probably enjoy it as I have no taste.

It's in same league of stupid as colorful special effects for special abilities when it doesn't make any sense for sword to go purple woooooosh.

 

[xuerebx]

Looks a bit better now. But I can't stand RTwP!

Nobody here at the codex has found this little gem from gamespot describing what it is to be dwarf commoner (beware: spoilers ahead)

http://comic-con.gamespot.com/story/621 ... es;title;1

When I read through this, the game DA: Origins suddenly became a little more interesting to me.
To me, the dwarf commoner origin story looks like it has been inspired strongly by the mafia of Sicily, with its clans and -yes- crime families etc. - in game, of course.

That's sounds really good. After my positive experience with ME, DA is certainly my most looked to game.

All that gore is incredibly disgusting and really off putting (how juvenile can you get to where you make God of War look tame by comparison?). The dwarf commoner writeup sounds good, but the three videos are all exactly the same.

 

[aries202]

The gore Bioware and EA? hoped to add to the game to make it more dark, gritty and mature just makes blood and gore more comical and cartoony than anything else. I'm not put off buy it; I'll just treat the game's blood and gore level (which you can turn OFF, according to David Gaider) as the blood and gore seen in a James Bonde movie.

 

[Dele]

Lots of pointless blood because by the looks of it, you cant cut limbs off enemies, all that blood just showing up from nowhere.

Now severance-like dismembering would be better with less blood

Oh come on, you can probably disable the gore like in every other RPG.

After seeing the combat animations and the horrible finishing move I know I´m not interested in that game. Looks like Xena movie fantasy trash...

So based on the combat and NOT the origins that were linked here by Aries, you decide not to be interested. Let me tell you something, that combat, as bad as it may seem to you, is still better than probably of half of RPGs, not to mention such candidates like Arcanum.

The graphics and combat whoredome is reaching a critical level

I didn't watch the new video. Is gore in DA really that high? That would be quite a feat to pull off when this is your competition:

 

[Shoelip]

Sodomy + bare handed decapitation... Wow... they really got the ancient Greece vibe down pat.

I doubt that the combat is better. And it is not the lack of tactics that makes the combat bad and annoying for me, it is the retarded finishing move and that crap which looks like an jrpg or Kung Fu movie (or Xena/Hercules movie...). Btw it is the same reason why D&D 4th Ed sucks for me. How it looks now, combat is tacticswise and from the artdirection more like a jrpg for me.
Besides the combat, this RPG will be in the same style as bioware rpgs are since KotoR. Nothing wrong about it, but definitely not the type of rpg I want. Which is sad for me because I really enjoyed the BG series (freedom of the 1rst one > than story of the 2ed).

I don´t mind about simple graphics. Helherron tile based graphics are more enjoyable for me than retarded 3D Uber-Animations with humans in Dark-Age Armor jumping around like monkeys...


Sure, I can be wrong and the game is great - I would be happy about it - but as it looks now, I´m just not interested and don´t consider to buy the game.

EDIT: The amount of bloodspilling is far beyond bearable, it just looks annoying and stupid.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

It's not gore, it's plain dumb. Every strike pumping out a litre of blood but fight still goes on.
Those GoW gifs look quite decent, at least better than usage of blood/gore in DA so far.

 

[Talonfire]

Someone should inform BioWare (and EA) that "dark and edgy" isn't measured by the amount of gore and fornication present. This feels more like a desperate attempt at being dark and mature, and as a result it doesn't look to be either... just an immature, tasteless mess.

 

[fastpunk]

Hey, speaking of DA:O, has anyone seen that new video with the unboxing of the Collector's Edition? Check it, it comes with a handy dwarf cock and a soundtrack which has 2 tracks mixed and produced by Marilyn Manson! I'm getting two of these, it's so cool!

[Vulture underbelly fur]

Is it just me or there's not a single parrying/blocking animation in the combat videos? I mean, I've recently played The Last Remnant (a jrpg) and there's a parrying/blocking animation for every attack/special move/monster attack, not to mention that every monster has parrying animations as well. I've noticed they've dropped these things after NWN1. WTF? You know things are bad when the combat in your game looks less realistic than in a jrpg.

 

[sportforredneck]

That's just obscene.

 

[oldmanpaco]

That's just obscene.

Once when I was about 8 I saw my cousin do that to a grasshopper.

True story.

 

[bozia2012]

It's the thing that irritates me the most - AAA titles with uber-graphics EXCEPT: the textures are shit, the model animation is shit, swords and guns magically stick to the character, armors and limbs clip through the model etc. WTF. DA looks like it was made with GameMaker 2003. Chainmail sleepwear FTW.

Damn, didn't know GoW is so retarded.
