Apparently it's getting a lot of hate and I never played Dragon Age before, but can someone explain why?It's stylistically even more of a departure from what people want. Dragon age has always had a bit of an identity crisis, so it's not surprising .
Apparently it's getting a lot of hate and I never played Dragon Age before, but can someone explain why?Gamers are fractious babies.
Apparently it's getting a lot of hate and I never played Dragon Age before, but can someone explain why?They did a cinematic trailer with Varric being the exact same person he's been for like twenty years and they called it a Marvel quip-fest.

The initial trailer got a lot of hate for not looking anything like the other games graphically or tonally, though there's the caveat that the series evidently has never been good with first trailers looking like the games they're representing. After seeing this gameplay sneak peek, I get the feeling this game didn't buck that trend, and if that's true, I imagine most of the people who were worried about the game will turn around after we see more tomorrow. I'm definitely feeling more hopeful, at least.Yeah, it's been a thing for all of them. People were divided in the shift for 2, and inquisition had people hoping it was more like origins. They've unfortunately never been good with trailers.

people whined about a cinematic trailer even though the characters have been snarky with each other since the first gameYeah bro but it's cool to hate that now.

Darn, I was hoping they'd go back to origins' combat system lol.
I hope it all takes place in the Fade

I'll never understand people thinking this was going to be like Origins, they were moving away from that over a decade ago.It was more of a small hope that they'd go back to it. I have that hope with each new release lol
This looks remarkably solid IMO.
this game does not resemble the past games at all.No Dragon Age game resembles the past games.
It looks pretty bland. Is there no character creator this time?

>partially due to EA forcing them to use an engine that's terrible for RPGsAre they still stuck with Frostbourne or Frostmourn or Jason Bourne or whatever they used for DAI?
Looks boring
Looks amazing. Can't wait for the epic story! The gameplay looks so fluid this time tooActually got a good laugh out of me since these posts were back to back, lol.
It's because of butthurt Origin fans from 15 years ago still haven't gotten over the gameplay changes since. That and they've only seen the cinematic trailer from yesterday that showed a completely different art style than what the gameplay showed today. Mainly a lot of fickle angry internet people. The core fanbase is going nuts over excitement right now.Yeah people haven't gotten over this RPG series that started with a fantastic combat system in Origins continually being casualized with each installment. You may enjoy automatic combat where you spam one button to win like the shit we saw in the gameplay reveal today but a lot of people want more out of their role playing game's combat.
The ones that actually watched the gameplay trailer today and are hating on it are likely just bitter naturally and had their minds made up from the get go. The usual people that hate on everything are already in this topic lol. The gameplay showed off a rogue so of course it'll be more action based with that character and at one point you got to see a skill tree with a bunch of empty slots to fill. That scene was super early in the game too. It was meant to just show people what's going on story wise from the last game and what the engine looks like.
Thing about Dragon Age that casual people don't understand is you come into it for the love of the characters and love first before anything else. Real ones know.

"But it showed off a rogue!"
Yeah it showed arkham auto-targeting shit, the character flipping and rolling around like a moron and basically spamming a single attack. Oh he chose another attack a few times for flavor then it was right back to the spam and being in zero danger. You're coping if you think there's gonna be any more depth to it than what we saw.
Edit: BUT all that being said, you are correct that Bioware games are more about the characters and their interactions. Gameplay is almost an annoyance that gets in the way of what you play them for. At least to me.
