How can you folks be so negative! This is the best humans invented since the machine gun. It just kills your

So the game is decent if you reprogram yourself to judge it as a console game rather than as a PC game? What kind of bullshit argument is this?

The point is this IS an action RPG designed first for consoles. If you don't want to play that, don't play the game period. If you do play it, the controls are fine for the kind of game it is. People complaining about the controls are mostly focused on how not-Origins it is, but that's the core game more than not having click-to-move. Witcher 2 didn't have click-to-move either.

I wasn't talking about the controls. I'm talking about a shitty game suddenly becoming decent if you think of it as belonging to a different genre or platform.

But if you want to go that route, fine. So how does this game compares to Dark Souls?

From the looks of it, it looks like a shitty Dark Souls clone. Also what I said when I first saw it. A mix of WoW or Skyrim and Dark Souls. And a bad one at that.

I look at it from the other end. Once those encryptions and asset management systems are properly reversed engineered, We will have a one shoe size fits all for every EA game. It will be much easier to mod and reverse game files if they all use the same engine / encryption / asset pipelines / libraries.

Other then that, I whole heartedly agree with you.

This isn't some tax evasion conspiracy. Good software companies SHOULD be developing and maintaining their own engine and that engine should be modular enough to support more then one game genre. I'm surprised game companies don't do this more often.

Aside from marketing campaigns (pffft) and distribution channels (which give us the oh-so-amazing GameStop DLC exclusives) providing a publisher-wide engine is the only value I could see a developer getting from a publisher, besides their annual budget itself (which with EA seems to come with more puppet strings than the Age of Ultron trailer).


EDIT: Also, I hadn't considered the consolidated reverse-engineering aspect. I don't know enough about the efforts to map BF4 vs. something like DA:I or how much overlap there would be, but it could help. Then again, Frostbite games also seem to really lock down the .exe to prevent MP cheating, which is a big obstacle when trying to utilize foreign/non-native resources.

I'm not convinced, but it is possible that there could eventually be a coordinated effort to harness Frostbite. A compiler program or decryption app from DICE would go a long way, but I doubt we will see that this side of the Apocalypse.

Embrace it... embrace the teen movie antics and writing. This is the future!

Can you see?

CAN YOU SEE?!

 

[Angthoron]

No we can't, the image is broken.

Also, that voice acting, holy shit. The passion, the tenderness, the shocked reveal.

 

[Grunker]

Actually, no. Link is broken

 

[Slow James]

lol Unintentional humor is unintentional.

This game plays better with a controller.

This is know as cheesyness overload. Too much of it and you'll turn into an weeaboo. The creature known as the weeaboo too once resisted the temptations of too much cheese but as they experienced more and more of it their souls became slowly corrupted by the cheese and suddenly they transformed into the pitiful state of weeaboo. It is much akin to the transformation a dark elf may experience into drider, a state of constant agony, and where the weeaboo once hated cheese, they now crave it with every breath they take.

Bioware must have learned that many have become corrupted by the powers of cheese and so seek to market their games to this crowd of beings as they cannot say no to something which contains too much cheese.

Mmmm... Ulrox is so moe!

No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!

But if you want to go that route, fine. So how does this game compares to Dark Souls?

I dunno, I don't play console action games.

It's nothing like dark souls really, its not a crawler and there's not much player skill involved. The target audience of this game is very clearly mass effect + skyrim.

So you don't know that Dragon Age isn't a very good action game either?

Compare it to dragon's dogma rather, its quite similar combat system except you wont see mage joint casting and localized damage on big monsters.Theres no timed roll and dodge , not the feeling of danger like in dark souls.You can program your companions to use potions at a % of health and attacking the same target , they are like the side kick of dragon's dogma , with a lot more dialogue than "wolves hunt in pack".Prettier with better areas to explore, easier too. It doesnt deserves the irrational hatred some give it here, especially when it doesnt prevent to play true PC rpg this year.
You know you could just buy it for cheap in a third world online shop via proxy or vpn and just activate the key on origin , its not that a big deal .
