EA/Bioware plans to make it worthwhile to buy Dragon Age: Origins brand new. Introducing a new scheme that is bound to rub a few individuals the wrong way, the company has announced that anyone opting to pre-order or purchase a brand new copy of its upcoming role-playing game will receive with their orders a free DLC entitled "The Stone Prisoner".
The move has since received a barrage of complaints, prompting an EA/Bioware employee to make a response, which can be read in the article.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
I think this is a good move... Give new game buyers something extra. Why buy a used game from Gamestop? They reduce the price by $5 on newer games, might as well fork over the few extra bucks and get it new anyway.
Also, you can find good deals on new games on Ebay, Amazon, and Half.com

What are you saying "the moment you sell a game you should have to guarantee a way to pass your DLC along with it out of the box." I'm not following you.
What about new cars??? Say a dealer gives you $1000 cash back on a new car. Do you think they're going to give you $1000 back on a used car of the same model?
I think should be illegal, or considered by law some sort of foul marketing. You can't discourage second hand market cheating this way. In my opinion, the moment you sell a game you should have to guarantee a way to pass your DLC along with it out of the box.
I see nothing wrong with this incentive.
"scheme"....is the word....
i don't really see a problem with this reserve or buy it new and you get DLC buy it used and you get no DLC. EA would lose so much money for used game so they give you an incentive to buy new rather than used
