can't wait!

GentleGiant5327d ago

Lots of useful info, cant wait to see it in action on the 3rd.

It looks a lot better than I thought it would. I don't know why people keep saying it's not that taxing....the minimum and recommended specs are the highest i've ever seen. I was hoping to be able to force 16qaa and get near 60 frames...not gonnna happen now. My gtx280 got old faster than I am willing to accept

I hope dragon age comes with a benchmark tool....or that someone makes one at least

STONEY45327d ago

A bit demanding considering the graphics don't look that good. I might get it since it's by Bioware though, they make good games.

Awesome, good to know my new 5850 and i7 860 will take it with ease.

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.

robtion519d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad520d ago

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

Crows90520d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183520d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90520d ago (Edited 520d 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.

DarXyde519d 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

Crows90519d 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.

DarXyde519d 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.

TheColbertinator519d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13519d 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

shinoff2183519d 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.
