Dragon Age Inquisition Patch 5 Update

VCPost: "With the growing whining of game addicts, Dragon Age: Inquisition's developer Bioware has announced Patch 5 will include several structures that will enhance gameplay experience for the role-player video game.

Patch 5 will only be available for PC players only due to unspecified patch infrastructure issues."

Whether it is just the beta for Patch 5 or the patch itself upon release that is exclusive to PC remains unsaid.

So the PS4 isn't getting this update? WTF??

Kryptonite42O3348d ago (Edited 3348d ago )

That's insanely disappointing.. Why did they not include party storage? I love the game, but not including it was just a dumb move. I'm constantly having to destroy useful things to make room in my inventory.
Hopefully it makes its way to console... I need party storage already!!

lemoncake3349d ago

Strange the patch isn't coming to console, their reason seems so vague as if this version cannot be patched. Maybe they are saving this stuff for the GOTY edition on console or some type of DLC.

Aloren3349d ago

That's a terrible article...It's actually the beta patch that will be only on PC. The patch will obviously come to console later, after the closed beta.

You can read on Bioware blog:
"Please note that due to the nature of our patch infrastructure, the beta program is currently open to selected PC users only. "

Valenka3348d ago

Rather ironic that you missed the rest of the statement on Bioware's blog that continues, "Unfortunately we don’t have any information on this or other upcoming patches to our broader PC player community or other platforms at this time."

Aloren3348d ago

Which, following the previous sentence, obviously refers to the release date of the final patch, as opposed to the beginning of the beta on PC...

DragonKnight3349d ago

Article starts with "With the growing whining of game addicts" then begins to list features in the game which should be considered standard.

What kind of RPG with a loot system doesn't allow for storage? Hell, even Kingdoms of Amalur had a storage system and the two games are remarkably similar (Amalur has way better combat), so what's the excuse for the lack of it in Inquisition?

Same with being able to change your character's appearance. The Character Creation in this game is not that great, especially due to how you first make your character's appearance in the game in that area with the bad lighting and everything. You quickly find out that what you think your character looks like after the creation is not really the same as when you were creating the character.

Also, this game's RNG bites, so being able to buy powerful schematics can be much better than hoping they'll drop. I played as a mage and wasn't able to get the top 2 mage staff schematics due to having no luck with the RNG.

That said, this game really seemed ridiculously rushed so I don't know if I'll really make use of these features if they ever come to console because I've beaten the game and have little reason to continue playing.

Servbot413349d ago

You know thinking back it feels like every Bioware game with a character creator had awful lighting that was nowhere near what the average lighting was during gameplay. I remember having to start Mass Effect over multiple times because of how awful your character looked after creation during regular gameplay lighting.

jhpadilla3349d ago

Yeah we "whiners" who paid for the games are treated like the lowest form of vermin.

Nobody "forced" us to buy the game, play it, or enjoy it, right?

Right.

And then they wonder why economies collapse. All fall under the pressure of their own DEAD weight.

DOMination-3349d ago

Although the storage would be nice, i don't think its particularly needed. Its not like diablo for example where you may need to keep stuff for future or different builds and the gear has so many variations.

I found with DAI once you upgraded there really was no need to keep your old, much crappier gear.. just sell it! I don't really see the point in keeping stuff for sentimental reasons and you can craft anything good again anyway.

Lucreto3348d ago

There are certain items you may want to keep.

I got a sword far stronger than my own but I can't equipment it because it is 3 levels above my current level. It will be sitting in my inventory all that time taking up space. It is the same with fire resistant charms and upgrades which sit there which could be of some use later.

caseh3349d ago (Edited 3349d ago )

"You quickly find out that what you think your character looks like after the creation is not really the same as when you were creating the character."

Haha I thought it was just me who wondered wtf happened with my character. I've played into the game for a few hours and I can't bring myself to restart just to redo my character, at the same time I can't bring myself to play it any longer as my character looks so stupid. *face palm* fml...

DragonKnight3348d ago

The worst is the lip shine. I mean, what the hell happened there?

Bioware Blog says the BETA is only open for the PC and even at that, its only for select testers. The post in question states that "due to the nature of our patch infrastructure, the beta program is currently open to selected PC users only. Unfortunately we don’t have any information on this or other upcoming patches to our broader PC player community or other platforms at this time."

Am I the only one that hears "incompetence" in that statement?

Other platforms = Xbox & PlayStation = no confirmation on whether or not Patch 5 will be available.

@shloobmm3, don't confuse common sense with mind reading or seeing into the future. It's not common sense because there's absolutely zero guarantee that the patch will come to Xbox and PlayStation.

Dragon Age: Inquisition was my GOTY last year and it's only getting better from here on out.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Retro Review – A Nostalgic Leap Short Of Legendary

Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.

The quality of these free games has been awesome. Before anyone says they are not free I was already giving Amazon $6 a month for prime shipping and video this isn't why I pay for my subscription

Teflon02912d ago

Still technically paying for it, even if it wasn't your intent. They've been giving out games with Twitch prime, they just changed the name. It's the same sub as that was. If you weren't aware, great. But you're paying for it.

That being said, I don't personally care. For me as long as you're willing to pay that for 1 service and get more. I personally take it as free. Like prime video, music though the prime version is trash, and all the Twitch benefits are all free to me because I didn't care about those when I got it. Just comes with it.

Only noted because that's technically wrong as a defense to that argument, whether I'm on yourside with the initial statement lol

mkis007912d ago

It's free to anyone who has already been paying. IDK why people need to split hairs.

TinkerNation912d ago

How does Prime Gaming work? Do you keep the games, or is it only as long as you have Prime?

Germaximus912d ago

lol Nice distraction from how they're now charging people to increase viewership. It's "just an option." /wink lol
