Dragon Age 4

The mechanics like moving around, shooting and shit like that.

It was from Giant Bombcast when they played the preview at E3.

It's a AAA title, I'd like to hope at the very least the game doesn't handle like shit.

Destiny handled and played well too and you know what? That game was average at best.

Ok?

I'm not saying it's going to be great. I'm just saying that I heard good things and intrigued.

Yeah I second in hoping Dragon Age never does that. Just hearing Fallout 76 for instance being multiplayer focused killed any chance of me wanting. We play RPGs like these to get away from the online noise, not bring it along.

It was bad too. Tried it quickly put it down. Just into the single quest.

I would be fine with that as well. I don't care if there is multiplayer just as long as it doesn't creep it's way into the single player. Just like Quan, I also tried the multiplayer in DA 3 one time, realized it was shit, and never touched it again.

So, what does everyone think will actually happen if Anthem is a failure?

Please, please, PLEASE be good you bastards.

The blog post sounds like it might be heading in the right direction.

I think Bioware gets unfairly heaped on by gamers. Mass Effect Andromeda was a failure but everything else has been fairly good quality.

Honestly, there's a part of me that wonders if Andromeda being what it was, is a blessing in disguise. The poor reception (ymmv obviously on how deserved it was) has put pressure on Bioware, and with Anthem not exactly setting the world on fire, they have a lot of incentive to not end up like the likes of Westwood, Bullfrog etc.

And I have to imagine EA is hoping for the best too. The BFV issues, stock value plummeting and of course, Star Wars Battlefront 2 being what they are, I would imagine the people at EA don't want to have to rely on Madden and Fifa to be their only big hits.

Even with Gaider (and I imagine most of the original staff) gone, I believe DA4 can be awesome. Inquisition did a lot of things really well. If they can avoid doing anything stupid, fingers crossed these years waiting will be worth it.

I think as far as story telling/writing goes, DA4 will be fine. Patrick Weekes is in charge of the series now, and he was one of the best writers of the Mass Effect games, responsible for a lot of the best segments, along with some of the best parts of Inquisition.

The challenge may be simply in making a good and fun world to explore. That has been something that Bioware seems to have trouble with.

As great as Weekes was in Mass Effect, I feel like he's more hit and miss with DA. Though if he has more hits than misses, the point becomes moot. As long as he doesn't **** with the lore too much.

Cant wait for this. I hope its a step up from Inquisition though. Build on the Origins format and throw out the open world if you can't fill it with meaningful content.

I'm also glad this one is putting a focus on Solas. He was the only companion worth anything in Inquisition IMO

It might be me but I hoping it's follows the same structure as the first DA game where its linear with a few hub world. I don't think I want open world because I'm getting tired of them.

How dare you. Varric and Iron Bull were amazing.

Agreed. You can have big areas full of stuff to do without going the Ubisoft route.

I think there's honestly very little chance that this isn't some kind of open world game. My hope is that it's more Witcher 3 open world, with fewer, more well developed zones, than DAI open world, with a ton of empty pointless zones that are filled with filler.

I think the game is years away still so I have time to finally commit to its lesser Witcher 3. I am a dragon age guy through and through.

Witcher 3 is a masterpiece and the best open world RPG I have ever played.

I did beat Witcher 2 and do plan on getting around to it.
