Why are people allowed to talk about Da:I this early anyway? There's a week to go before the game is even released innit?

Actually, I think the player character in that particular scene is more deserving of the paper bag treatment, considering his hideously faggy hairstyle (that remains in the same shape even as he lies down, which indicates he used some sort of medieval hair spray).

I guess review embargo ended some time before actual release date. Also probably some shop have retail copies already,.

I don't understand this. If game companies are making reviewers wait X days after the game comes out, review companies are losing lots of hits because it rapidly becomes old news. The only reason to bow to a publisher is if they're promising to let you get exlusive or early coverage of their games. If they are costing you money up front and not signing deals with them lets you review their game on release day... what's the incentive? ...kinda confirms some kind of direct monetary payout.

Right now, I could have written a unity review and published it, because I'm not beholden. Makes no sense to the big dogs.

I knew what to expect and "You want to ride the bull" still made me spit out my wine all over my keyboard and screen.

Are you in the video game media? Did you get an advance copy?

So far the only review claiming the game is "meh" is the Eurogamer one. Everything else indicates GOTY... But I don't trust those sites much. Not because of some Doritos bullshit conspiracy, but because I genuinely believe those people are incompetent when it comes to reviewing anything else than casual shit like Assassin's Creed, Sims or CoD. I'm waiting for the one from codex. Delterius, you're still in?

EDIT: Oh, see it now.

There was a time when I thought, that having an entire race of blue, bisexual alien nymphos was as cringy as Bioware could ever get. Boy, was I wrong...

You botched the roll and couldn't understand a codex meme. Minus 5 experience points.

Its meant for the Codex. But that's only if VD won't review the game himself.

That was just Bioware taking twi'leks to their logical conclusion

lol at Codex getting review copies from Bioware

I wouldn't worry about Vault Dweller, he's probably too busy right now for such frivolity. Unless I'm wrong?

Here's a review of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Graphics are meh.
Art style is shit.
Dialog is shit.
Combat is bland and boring.
Romances are hilarious fan-fiction quality of dog shit.
8.9/10 GOTY

Forgive me, both of you, for being a little slow, but I'm not quite following. Did the Codex get an advance copy for review?

 

[Abu Antar]

Assassin's Creed Unity supposedly has shit performance and that might explain things.

 

[Ninjerk]

I didn't even realize the game was coming out this year.

If there's one thing that Gaider's shining head basically guarantees is that this website will never ever get a review copy of any BioWare product.

Is RPGfan a trustworthy site? Never heard of it before...

My adventure began as most Bioware journeys do: with a slowly-paced, restrictive, and relatively humdrum introductory sequence that gave way to one of the most open, colorful, and cohesive game worlds I've ever dived into. Is this Bioware's Skyrim or Cyrodiil? Perhaps, though that comparison doesn't truly convey the structure of the game in an adequate way. There's a gigantic amount of world to explore, but it never feels as random or homogenous as some of Bethesda's more recent Elder Scrolls titles. The locations here are more akin to areas in Xenoblade: large places to be sure, but far more densely packed with interest than I found Skyrim to be. Regal villas and Uncharted-like dungeons lie tucked-away in the mountains of the Hinterlands, spooky, run-down hovels in the midst of the Fallow Mire hide ghastly horrors from the light of the full moon, and dragons tear at giants in the recesses of the foggy Storm Coast. This is a much bigger world than either previous Dragon Age, but that scale doesn't come at the cost of having an identity.

The guy says fed-ex quests are basically just a pointer to "real" quests...

From the outset, I worried that these large places would be little more than window-dressing to hide a cynical AAA checkbox-extravaganza. My concern was that banal objectives like "Close 6 rifts" and "kill 10 rams" would offer little real impetus to comb the rolling hills and dry plains. While it's true that there is some sense of that, I thankfully found those objectives to more often be supporting goals that get the player exploring the world and undertaking far more interesting quests. Closing those rifts might take you to a corner of one region where a smuggling cartel conspires to make the place inhospital to refugees so that they might continue an illicit mining operation. Hunting those rams could lead to ancient ruins full of world-building lore and powerful magical items. So, the answer is yes: this game has some bland Fed-Ex quests. However, they're punctuated by an utterly gorgeous world and far more interesting objectives often enough that they feel more like side distractions that give you a sense of accomplishment in the midst of your exploration, rather than the centerpiece of the entire experience.

That's what I thought. But when you said "I'm still reviewing it", I thought you meant that you were currently in the process of playing it an writing your article.
