Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 30th March 2009 Impressions are solid, at least. :) Some previews of the GDC demo... http://pc.ign.com/articles/967/967555p1.html http://kotaku.com/5189916/dragon-age-origins--a-tragedy-in-the-making http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/dragon-age/967572p1.html Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 1st April 2009 Why was there doubt to begin with? Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 1st April 2009 Well, between NWN and KotOR and Jade Empire and Mass Effect and the console ports of the game and the Lord of the Rings clone trailer we saw a while back, yes, there definitely was. I'm still definitely not expecting another Baldur's Gate II (for one thing, Bioware has said that they'll never make another game that long again), but if we're lucky, Neverwinter Nights 2 and its expansions will have some real competition... :) Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 2nd April 2009 KotOR was awesome, Jade Empire was fun at times with some great enviroments, and Mass Effects was ZOMG awesome. So...not seeing your point here. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 2nd April 2009 KotOR was okay but disappointing and had simplistic combat, Jade Empire and Mass Effect are basically action-RPGs. Bioware hasn't made a serious strategic RPG since BGII:ToB. I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that this one sounds like it will indeed be one... I was definitely skeptical for all the reasons I listed before. :) Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 5th April 2009 Alright, now I'm hopeful for it again, storyline-wise at least. :) Really good interview with David Gaider... http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2009/04/04/interview-david-gaider-senior-writer-for-dragon-age-origins-part-1/ http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2009/04/05/interview-david-gaider-senior-writer-for-dragon-age-origins-part-2/ Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 11th April 2009 I picked up Jade Empire the other day for $2 [special edition PC version] and I started playing through it for the first time in about 3 or 4 years. Some parts are better than I remember [enviroments, character interaction, and, to some extent, the story], and something aren't as good as I remember [combat, which is poopy, and AI partners, which are useless]. Overall, a solid game. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2009 Never have played that game... if I found the PC version for $2, though, I'd get it for sure. I do want to try it. But I don't think I've seen the PC version for less than $20, and I don't have an Xbox to play that one on (I have seen a cheaper copy or two of that version). Oh well... whenever I do find a cheap copy, I'll get it. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 21st April 2009 Amazon saves the day once again. You can pick up Jade Empire: Special Edition for about $5. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 10th May 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SuJ5T9sfAA Can I give up on it again now? http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58563 ... And the quotes from them aren't a good sign either, for sure. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 18th May 2009 Yeah, that trailer was pretty bad. But what I've seen of the actual gameplay looks good. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 18th May 2009 When the trailers are all horrible and completely wrong for what this game should be, I think being pessimistic about the game is the most reasonable thing... I know they might be trying to drag in people who otherwise wouldn't play the game, but still. Angering your hardcore fans, as Bioware has again and again now (and with this project, recently) really isn't that great an idea, I think... and this kind of thing definitely makes the hardcore fans angry, those who haven't given up on Bioware entirely that is. I partially have, but the Baldur's Gate games were just so great that I can't entirely do it... Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 17th June 2009 The system requirements are out... http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/48356/Dragon-Age-Origins-PC-System-Requirements-Revealed Quote: Windows XP Minimum Specifications: Only 60GB for the download version? That's not bad, I'll get three! Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - Great Rumbler - 27th June 2009 That's a pretty big install size, even for the disc version. Hmm, Dragon Age: Origins might have a chance of being good after all... - A Black Falcon - 27th June 2009 Yeah, definitely. I mean, I have the space, but still, ridiculous installs are annoying. Just manage loading it from the disc better... :( |
