    Finally a western AAA arpg... I can't wait to hear more about this game. And after six years of development I guess we can expect a very solid game. :proud:

    Just what's needed, another ARPG.....
  • WellspringWellspring Member EpicPosts: 1,464
    What are some example games that are an ARPG? I'm not familiar with the meaning. Is the Witcher 3 an action rpg?

    ARPG usually refers to action oriented with a top-down perspective. Think Diablo/PoE/etc.

    I don't expect it'll necessarily be the 3/4 view we're used to. I'd bet not.

    Polygon had quotes from BioWare CEO where they say specifically this is NOT an RPG. It's an action adventure game.

    “It’s an action-adventure, not RPG,” Wilson added during the Q&A portion of the call. That’s a change of pace for BioWare, which is best known for its role-playing game franchises.

    About time they did something new instead of more 4's and 5's. Great news.

    Based on your post history lately I doubt you will enjoy it...I'm sure you will find something to complain about.

    When the Sun begins to Rise, we don't know what it is!
    When Dawn comes, its a AAA+ games
    When Noon Comes, its a C+ game
    When Dusk Comes, its an F- game
    When Night comes, all servers close and everyone forgets about it!

    That pretty much sums up Bioware, who everyone tries to figure out what each of their games are to get the hype meter up. Then when the game comes out, everyone buys it and says its AAA+++, then over time people figure out its really a C+ game, but its too late! They have already cast their AAA+++ vote and the honeymoon is over. Then after a few months to maybe a year, we find that all the Official DLCs combined cost more than the actual base game itself. Then pretty soon, everyone forgets about the existence of the game except the die hard fans of it....

    Example was Dragon Age Inquisition....
    Sorry, but to me Dragon Age Origins was amazing...

    Even so... both games are forgotten games.

    So....It's an action adventure?...Like Uncharted?

    I hope it's a Monster Hunter style game like Dauntless is trying. But then again, I usually think that about most games. heh

    Monster Hunter since '04!

    I hope we get to see BW shine with the benefits of EA's resources and the allowing BW to tell their story.

    To me, EA, represents quality and stability in the game engine. Thats something BW can benefit from.

    Mass effect andromeda will be the prime example of what EA has to offer for their subsidiary companies.

    Wouldn't it be great if they redid DA:O in frostbite and gave it the DA:I combat system.  I would buy that in a heart beat!

    That game is delveloped way before EA spit into Bioware. Let's just hope they didn't corrupt
    this new game already.

    Really hope not. I can't play those kind of games.

    Also guys they said they started working on the characters and stuff 6 years ago. That's not the same as actively developing the game for 6 years.

    It could amount to some guy at Bioware had a couple ideas while on the can 6 years ago, and they decided to run with them recently.

    Can I quote this when Mass Effect Andromeda turns out to be a watered down corporate turd devoid of inspiration?
