Did we see anything from the game? I remeber just some vague, general information. Thats not usual marketing strategy for high profile AAA video game, within less-then-year release window.
If BioWare releases another flop, Im afraid it will not survive much longer.

For some reason I get the feeling they may get one more chance (the next Mass Effect game that they're cooking up...)

But by the time this DA4 game comes out, it'll have been almost exactly 10 years since they last released a game that was generally well-received (DA3). Which is kind of amazing.
 
BioWare is sure taking their sweet time to release anything nowadays.

Almost 11 years since the last Dragon Age at this point in time.
 
It's still a while, then... and to be fair, I think that's a good thing. It may means they're taking their sweet time to write and develop a good game, rather than rushing it out to cash in.

I believe.
 
My belief or faith in BioWare died years ago. Also I don't ascribe to the theory that a delayed game is somehow always better in the end. That is a false fallacy at best.
 
Well my 35 years of gaming has proved my view correct. That's just me. 🤷‍♂️

Anyway yeah it was rebooted twice already and that's a red flag as well.

I fully understand you. I was there too, but with BioWare it's like BSG, every new game they make I'm thinking "maybe they actually did it this time?". You're being much more sensible and rational than me for sure.
 
I don't see Bethesda being comparable to Bioware in that way. They have their own issues, but I don't think they've fallen off nearly as much as Bioware has. At least they're still making the kind of games their fanbase liked to being with.

If you asked me 12 years ago my opinion would be vastly different. I was one of the very few who defended DA2 on this site. I ruffled the feathers of many old watchers.

Early Access is completely different. We all knew why it took as long.

We're not talking about Early Access or not. We're discussing whether additional time leads to a better game. And we didn't know it would take as long, no. The original plan was to release the game much sooner, but Larian decided it was worth delaying the game to add more reactivity. I think they mentioned that several times, including in the Panel from Hell just before the release.

Normally, more time to work on something leads to better quality, unless the organization of the project is bad (so it's not always true, for sure). It may not be good enough in some cases, but that doesn't mean the extra time didn't improve it.

I dont think logic could make valid argument in this discussion ...

Frankly I don't even know why I bother to engage anyone.🤷‍♂️

People who recommend two-a-dime porn games in a RPG site "for their story value", and come about pretending they know what's good writing and why BG3 is not that engaging. Not bothering to interact with a lot of the rabble around sounds like the second time I've caught you being sensible and rational in just one day. ;)
 
Sometimes I feel like Peter Griffin from Family Guy with his what really grinds my gears episode. Way to many opinions that are not easy to put in words I get misunderstood.

Then along come posters who just make you infuriated.
