I can't bring myself to play DA:I ever again after the Witcher 3. Just feels like going backwards 100 yards. Hope Bioware see's they've got real competition and up's their game next go around.

Well DA:I was not BAD, i had fun playing it. Its a good game. Problem is Witcher 3 is light years ahead of competition right now.

And to add insult to injury, the whole DLC policy of major companies is really leaving bad taste in the mouth, compared to what CD Projekt RED offers...

Not to mention they already announced 2 MAJOR (100h~ each) expansion for TW3, one by the end of this year and other one early next year...

What did DA:I get ? More meaningless DLC...

100 Hours each would be like two full games, expansions talking like adding 30 more hours in total and for 24€ it's ok for me considering the free dlc's

W3 has set the bar pretty high.

Hey it is 5 bucks, that is a good deal in my book.

Roin · June 2015

Yep because an item pack that you are charging for, will definitely get people to stop playing Witcher 3. Right? Remove 5 dollars from wallet. Pull out lighter. Set the money on fire. Scoop up ashes when finished. Go back to playing Witcher 3. You're welcome.

i totally feel you DMKano. like the game is great and all but some of the mechanics are sketchy at best. also his voice acting is not that great.

LilithM · June 2015

Hey, it's nice for people like me who having zero interest in playing W3 because of a dude like Geralt. So for me it's irrelevant if it's 600 million light years ahead of DA:I. You still play the same boring dude.

Never gonna give you up, DA:I...

yaminsux · June 2015

DA:I never really got into me, the fact they tried to mimic MMO experience into an SP game is beyond me. DA:O is the only one for me, brutal choices had to be made which I dont see in the two iterations on DA.

The whole DA:I experience, is just too boring for me

You know, I get Witcher 3 is the "second coming of christ" and all, but I get REEEALLY sick of people comparing everything past, present, AND future to it. Seriously.

TL;DR: Witcher 3 is Witcher 3. Everything else is everything else. Comparisons to something that is not Witcher 3 is stupid. Stop doing it people. Seriously. Enough.

Octagon7711 · June 2015

Hopefully there will be some nice mods for W3. I'm liking ports less and less these days.

I loved the first DA, the second one I barely finished.

This game is just so frustrating. I have zero interest in going around a map and collecting a bunch of random crap, or doing boring fetch/kill quests. But that is exactly what you have to do to even progress through the game. Whoever designed such an awful system should have gotten the boot.

This! I got totally burned out on it. 20 Points to unlock next story mission. 15 Points to unluck next interestin side missions, 15 Points to unlock that.

In the beginning around Haven the story pace is good, exciting even, but after that it just grinds to a halt.... litterally. Forcing you to grind stupid boring MMO style quests to grind Points to unlock story progression!

Whoever came up with that, I hope he/she got fired and never designs another game again! /FACEPALM

witcher 3 blows dragon age away by mils, there is no contest.

witcher 3 leaves bioware to dust.

ArcheAge2014 · June 2015

witcher 3 is a masterpiece that sets rpg very high.

witcher 3 is right up there with elder scroll series. Man it is very hard to beat them.

Thierulf · June 2015

I like TW3 more than DA:I, but I can still enjoy DA:I as a different game. Besides, DA:I's combat is much more engaging, in being more tactical and party based. And honestly, much more difficult. TW3's combat mechanics are trivial, even in the highest difficulty setting, where beating some dragons in DA:I Nightmare mode was a, uhm... nightmare.

That I can agree with. Combat in DA:I is way more fluid and responsive.

That is my main pet peeve with TW3 at the moment. Movement and combat is a bit messy.

red_cruiser · June 2015

I played the first Witcher, and the entire game I was like "I'd rather be Elric.", so despite of all the good reviews, I never played Witcher 2 and I won't be playing Witcher 3.

That being said, Elfroot Picker Offline had it's moments, but I wanted more story and less massive MMO style zones to explore.

That sums up my feelings exactly heh

Haven't played The Witcher, but I expect I will. Still, I would rather have some more story content than item packs. I mean, WTF is going on with Solas? You can't show us something like that and then just drop it.

I think it would be cool to have some content based around rebuilding things too. Like, getting some of the towns that were nearly burned to the ground rebuilt. That sort of thing.

jpnole · June 2015

Add me to the list of players who haven't touched DAI since playing W3. I even regret the last DAI DLC. Won't be buying this one. Not because I don't have $5, but because W3 gives me so much more than I got from DAI. I'm not buying any more Ubisoftificated, connect the dots of the constellation games.

jpnole · June 2015

Forgot to add that W3 will be both GOTY and RPG of the year.

Xion1985 · June 2015

I own all 3 witcher games. I always buy into the hype, play them for like 10 hours get bored out of my mind and don't play them again. Nothing about Geralt is at all interesting to me. The worlds nice and pretty, but outside of that I can't find a single reason to play it.

I know this is completely subjective but for my money I'd rather play any of the dragon age games. I'm glad the wticher sales well and helps the RPG genre out but it's definetely not for me. That said, CDProjekt would probably have made this into 5 smaller dlc's and given it out for free over a month or two. I don't really trust CDProjekt red as much as most of the gaming community does but I do like their stance on DLC for the most part (Especially if their expansions actually deliver).

Distopia · June 2015

The Witcher 3 is one game, a great game yes, yet still just one game. I certainly won't be playing it and only it from here to eternity. DA:I wasn't a horrible game, wasn't even bad IMO, it's not great either, but it serves it's purpose admirably. If anything held it back I'd say it was sticking with last Gen releases of it.
