Ah cool. I might give it a replay myself.

Anyone here getting a Nintendo Switch? 🙂

Yep. Getting it solely for Zelda. I planned to refrain from buying a WiiU until they released a new Zelda for it. So, when BotW was announced to launch on the Switch as well, I figured I may as well get the newer system rather than the WiiU.

Playing thru ME3 again right now for prep work.

I haven't delved too deeply into MEA, but I expect I'll buy it when it comes out. Currently, Witcher 3 is my all time favorite game.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to buy it as well and hope it turns out well. I just have very little faith at this point.

And yeah, Witcher 3 is great. It’s probably, my favorite game this generation so far.

I'm not dirtying my hands with peasant's tools.

Smh.

But yeah I've heard great things about Zelda, so probably will buy it just for that too. Hopefully Smash bros will come out on it soon as well, and some decent third party games...

It's worse than it seemed the first time imo.

Witcher 3 really is incredible. Kept my attention for so long, despite me not being an avid gamer.

Haven't played any of the Dragon Ages, though.

Witcher 3 is great, yeah. Pretty much universally agreed upon.

I prefer DA😮 over Witcher 3, although it's rather outdated graphics and gameplay wise.

Dragon Age vs Mass Effect?

Haven't even played that. I did see someone play Inqusition recently. Seemed alright, I guess.

Has anybody here played The Secret World? I dismissed it as shit early on but it's apparently good.

Eh not sure, probably Mass Effect for me. It had a better standard with DA having weaker games like DA2 and parts of DAI.

It has it's highs and lows. Shows that it was Bioware's first open world-esque game. Hopefully they learned their lessons and MEA will be better.

Not really interested in MMOs since I bought Overwatch. Only really liked competitive PvP in them.

About equal. I might actually lean towards Dragon Age tbh.

I think DA😮 has aged better than Mass Effect 1 has, personally. And while Mass Effect 2 is still incredible, Inquisition was incredible as well and Origins is certainly comparable even after all this time.

DA 2 is also probably better than ME3 was overall tbh.

I have. It's certainly interesting and I found the investigation quests to be very cool even if I did have to cheat a few times because I don't know morse code and shit. The story kind of peters out at the end though without you really learning much of whats going on, at least when I played it.

Do I have to play the others before Inquisition?

@Neph - The factions seemed pretty cool but I heard that there's very little difference in the grand scheme of things based on the faction you pick. Definite shame if that's the case.

Does anyone here play SSB4, by any chance? lol

@Temp: I would very much advise you to.

There's not much difference at all yeah. You get different write-ups at the end of missions and between hubs you get a different mission but it really isn't that big of a deal.

Illuminati all the way btw.

They're all awesome in their own way, but based on my first impressions, it's Illuminati > Dragon > Templar.
