IndustryGamers recently spoke with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka about Dragon Age II, and the discontent of some fans at the changes in the RPG sequel compared with Dragon Age: Origins. Dr. Ray points out that these changes helped introduce a wider audience to the series, but also talks about making changes based on user feedback in upcoming Dragon Age II DLC, and presumably Dragon Age III. Here's an excerpt: "We’re working on future projects in the Dragon Age franchise," he acknowledged. "We have some more DLC plans, that actually address some of the feedback from some of our core fans. I think that’s going to be really satisfying to fans who liked DAO and DA2. We haven’t announced Dragon Age III formally at all, but we can say we’re definitely thinking about future products. There’s some cool stuff in the works there."

Here's why I didn't purchase DA2 and will not likely be buying DA3 or any Bioware products in the future.
Bioware no longer makes games that are what I want. I'm hoping that someone else will.
Here's why DA2 went from a 'must buy on day one' to 'never buying it':
1) Loss of overhead camera (made me wait for a demo/reviews) 2) Gameplay changes such as 'waves of mobs' 3) The demo sucked (and likely the full game did too) 4) Bioware employee(s) posted their own reviews (without revealing their conflict of interest). To me that's pretty fradulent. 5) Metacritic user reviews clearly showed the game sucked 6) PC Gamer gave it a score in the high 90s. 7) Development time/effort was too short, clearly shown in the repeating of map areas. Maybe DA3 will take place in only one room with different colors each time. 8) Bioware is doing lots of damage control BS. Basically the game sucked, but Bioware is right, and made the right decisions. So DA3 will be worse.
Overall, I suspect EA isn't happy with the lower amount of sales DA2 did than DA1. Or maybe DA2 sold well and they fooled lots of gamers into paying for it. But I doubt DA2 sales > DA1 sales, and I'll predict DA3 sales will be worse. |
