Dragon Age: Inquisition Review – Savior of the Industry | The Koalition

Let’s face it, a lot of games this year have failed to live up to expectations. Most of the AAA games have let people down one way or another. With this in mind, one could be forgiven if they believed that Bioware’s latest would also be a disappointment. However, this isn’t the case at all. Among a sea of less than stellar blockbusters, rises Dragon Age: Inquisition. A title that more often than not, exceeds expectations and delivers one of the most robust and fulfilling games in recent memory.

This is a guarantee'd game of the year.

[Venomousfatman]

I'm hoping people take a liking to this game much more than how they received DA2.

[Profexxion]

Considering it's a much better game, they probably will.

[Paprika]

Dragon age 2 was good, but following origins it wasn't worthy. If it was another original IP, it'd have been received slightly better. A solid 8/10 game imo.

Savior of the Industry? Aside from me enjoying this game, I don't understand that statement.

[Romudeth]

Read the review. It's explained in there. :)

[rbailey]

I really wish this game didn't come out on a day with every other game lol I'll play it eventually but not before I finish Far Cry 4.

[gangsta_red]

I had to chose between this game and Far Cry 4 for the holiday weekend and I went with DA:I. I thought maybe I could fit in both but no such luck. I'm going to have to at least get further into DA before I even attempt to submerge myself into the wonders of Far Cry 4.

[pandehz]

You mean Far Cry 3

[jaydonbatb]

Wow, great review Tony! I look forward to playing this game when I have the funds lol.

[HisRoyalFlyness]

"Savior of the Industry", that's a very bold statement

[Romudeth]

It's not really that bold. Have you seen the rest of this year's games? This is the only one that isn't a disappointment lol

[Profexxion]

The only one you played maybe?

[Romudeth]

I've played other games this year lol

[MysticStrummer]

I've played quite a few games this year and haven't been disappointed with any of them. The Savior of the Industry idea isn't bold. It's silly.

[led1090]

Had Alien Isolation not come out this year, i would have agreed with what you said

[rextraordinaire]

Savior of the industry?

No. In order to be that it should have been a flawless release with no game breaking bugs.

It's a good game, but it has everything that's rotten with the industry. Unsolved problems at launch only to meet release date is poor industry practice.

If that's what the official forum of a "Savior of the industry" game looks like, I'm out of here.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the game.

I just think the title is really, really too bold for reality.

[Killz4Twinkies]

I respectively disagree. I do not think it is by any means the "savior of the industry" but at the same time give credit where credit is due. It is a great overall game / probably one of if not the biggest console game ever and improved on almost every single issue with its predecessors.

Now there are some minor bugs (nothing that has taken away from the experience in my play) but by no means "game breaking bugs" as you say or unsolved problems. Could you elaborate on the bugs you have experienced?

Especially with all of the games that have released with truly game breaking bugs that wont even allow you to play them - i believe this (along with FC4) a nice momentum boost into 2015 and beyond.

[rextraordinaire]

I posted a link to the forums. Obviously you haven't clicked it. You would have seen that for many, many persons the game is completely broken.

Also, like I said, I love the game. I'm just not blinded by my enjoyment of it. It has serious issues and that's not acceptable.

[Killz4Twinkies]

I did click the post which linked over to the ea help forum for the game which scrolling though the first 20 or so topics is about downloading the soundtrack and people not being able to romance certain characters - sorry i do not feel like sifting through 8000 posts when my question was directed to what problems that you personally are having that makes the game unplayable for you since your original comment was based on the game being unplayable?

I learned long ago that there are many trolls out there (see amazon reviews for xb1 & ps4 from obvious opposing fanboys)

No more bubbles - good luck getting your game fixed regardless as it is a great rpg!

[anticlimax]

Since you asked what gamebreaking bugs:
Directx crashes, gpu's overheating, menu freezes, user interface disappearing, falling through maps, vital bossfights where the boss can't be killed, ...

I could go on for quite a while.

[Maxor]

This game is the "Herald" of the new RPG generation, and unlike other over hyped games, like the polished turd that is Destiny...this game actually delivered. The benchmark has been set. The Witcher 3 has a lot to live up to.

Between Watch Dogs, Destiny, Drive Club and AC: Unity, gamers confidence in the industry needs to be restored. DA: Inquisition epic scale and execution does this in spades.

[rextraordinaire]

Of course the game is good. But it has serious flaws that should not be accepted. Or, read that as "The flaws it has wouldn't be accepted if it was made by someone else than Bioware".

[Aloren]

Are you serious ? You make it sound like Bioware has it easy when it comes to flaws, people are still bashing them 3 years later cause of the ME3 ending, and they're still complaining about DA2 and they keep calling SWTOR a failure, etc etc.

If anything, Bioware has had it a lot harder than most other studios.

OVERRATED

[Horseheadinthebed]

My gaming time is spent between this and far cry 4 at the moment, this is a quality title but seem to be getting my ass kicked quite often , some major grinding may be needed!
