This was not offensive compared to the other horrors we seen. Everybody just take a deep breath and chillax. Everything is okay.

So ok, we were all expecting to laugh with what DragonAge has become but I really don't get the art style... I really don't.
Pretty certain if it had non-cartoonish style it would be more appealing to a broader audience, thus it will sell more or I'm totally wrong and it's the art style that it will make it a "successful" game in their post mortem meetings.
PS. Have a little bit of respect to the first game, jesus fucking christ, even if DragonAge 1 was always the perfect 6/10 CRPG, man this is awful.
[edit] Now that I'm thinking about it, DragonAge died since DragonAge 2 so no major harm done I guess but this new turd might beat the last two.

BioWare's been in death throws for over a decade now. I'm honestly shocked that EA hasn't absorbed their properties and shut the studio down. They've shut down better studios for less. Origin, Westwood, Bullfrog, and a whole list of them. Has BioWare done anything significant since SW:TOR? Mass Effect: Andromeda was a debacle, but it sold 2.5 million units. The reception for the game was really bad, particularly for a BioWare game. When the critics were handing it 6.5/10 scores for a BioWare game, you know it's not good at all. And that was 7 years ago. Anthem apparently sold well, but was also a big debacle and hated by critics and fans, and they never delivered all the promises. That was 5 years ago.
It probably was at some point in its development, then they decided it would be like Baldur's Gate 3, but more awesome, and went back to making an RPG, but with fetch quests and recycled assets.

Yep, gameplay still pretty bad, but the teaser was much worse. It failed in basically every aspect - the tone, the style, the identity, everything. To be quite honest, I was actually positively surprised by the gameplay. Not because it was good, but because the teaser was so awful that I expected the game to be even worse than it is.
I think the best thing about these announcements and trailers are that I no longer have *any* interest in any of these AAA game studio games any more.
