The more I see of this game, it just looks uglier, and more boring than before. I'm starting to think they just put a few of BioWare's flunkies on this game, and EA fleshed out the dev team with some of their internal goons. The REAL BioWare has been hard at work on the masterpiece that will be Mass Effect 2.

Combat looked incredibly canned and the special effects were PC circa 2002.

I don't know what build/ system this was running on, but it wasn't pretty.

I'll probably still grab it though, as I'm a fantasy nut, but this is looking more and more like an average game with some massive hype behind it. Who knows, maybe they'll polish the $hit outta it before release? Still, the engine itself seems clunky and bland. I know that Bioware's strength is in story-telling, but even that appears lukewarm (in this game) from what I've seen.

Not Bioware's best work.

Wow....this game looked alot better along time ago and also thought the combat would be more like hack&slash with Rpg elements but i was wrong....

Personally I don't think it looks that bad, as for Gamer_Politics it will be more of a hack and slash game on the Consoles, most of the videos we have seen for the game at this point have pretty much been all PC based.

you also have to remember that most of the videos we get to see are of old builds, so what the game looks like in these vids probably is not how good the final game will look.

Having said that graphics wise the game doesnt quite look as good as Mass Effect yet, but I like the setting of Dragon Age a bit more because I really enjoy Fantasy games.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion500d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad500d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90500d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183500d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde499d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90499d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde499d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator499d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13499d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183499d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
