IGN review on gamespot lol

Why dont we all just go to IGN and have fun over there and close down Gamespot ;)

But no surprise at the high score, its after all one of the most "inclusive feminist PC" games out there.

i am waiting for more videos to come out, i would have posted them aswell

Game Informer gave the game a 9.5 too. I'm still holding all reservations until i get my hands on it.

I watched the Gamespot video review. Excellent stuff. This game looks awesome and sounds HUGE. I'm really looking forward to picking this up next week. First I picked up Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, then Halo: The Master Chief Collection today, and next is Dragon Age Inquistion. I'll probably grab a couple more before Nov. is over. What a fantastic month this has been.

90+ hours for just a straight playthrough!! Wow, that would probably be double or triple for me because I'm not a RPG guy. My first attempted at an RPG was Skyrim and I really liked it, but after about 30hrs in, I just lost interest.

I do like watching other people play though.

Can't wait tell next week, Bioware is back!!

Nothing wrong with becoming more diverse. The industry could use more women and minority games, as long as they're not there just to appease groups.

Sure there is nothing wrong with a game being diverse if its there because of the story.

The diversity in Dragons age and all of bioware's game has nothing to contribute to the story, its sole purpose of being there is to seem diverse and please the extreme left wing radicals and to work as "YouNeedToBuyIt" for the sex hungry teenage boys who have and never will be that close to a actual real life women unless they pay for it.

He also forgot that AC Liberation had a female protagonist...

Here are a few other:

Joystiq -- 5/5

"Dragon Age: Inquisition is BioWare's reaffirmation of what it's capable of delivering. It's a gorgeous game on an epic scale. Rich in character and story, it creates a fantasy world with plausible social rules you can get lost in. It makes you feel that you aren't just exploring a new world, but helping shape it at various levels of society. Inquisition sets the bar for what a blockbuster RPG should be. Oh, and after everything is said and done, make sure to stay following the credits." - Alexander Sliwinski [Full review]

Game Informer -- 9.5/10

"After two disparate entries with different philosophies, Dragon Age's identity crisis is over. With a mixture of open-world exploration, entertaining combat, and top-tier characters, the team at BioWare has found a winning formula that isn't shackled to either Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II. Inquisition is not defined by the traditions it returns to, but by the new directions it forges for this magnificent fantasy universe." - Joe Juba [Full review]

Polygon -- 9.5/10

"Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of the biggest games I've ever played, and I still want more. This is the astounding scope I referred to above. It's no longer as simple as how your choices affect your small band of adventurers--though that can vary quite a lot as well. Dragon Age: Inquisition puts the fate of the world in your hands in a way that few role-playing games have done before. And even after another 80 hours devoted to it, it's a world I cannot wait to return to in whatever BioWare does next. I don't know what higher praise I could give." - Philip Kollar [Full review]

GamesRadar -- 4/5

"Dragon Age: Inquisition creates a massive, vibrant world on a scale far greater than its predecessors, and does an excellent job of making you feel in command. The heart of this game rests with its characters, who keep you invested in the action." - Maxwell McGee [Full review]

DigitalSpy -- 4/5

"BioWare has clearly listened to, and learned from, the criticisms leveled at Dragon Age II. It has also cherry picked some of the best elements of its Mass Effect series00most notably the more exhaustive dialogue options--to create a role-playing game of sweeping scale and often surprising impact." - John Robertson [Full review]

Destructoid -- 8.5/10

"Dragon Age: Inquisition not only feels like a fully fledged role-playing adventure, but it's also packed with fun things to do that will keep you busy for weeks. Having played well over 100 hours, I'm still finding things to do, working on my multiplayer characters, and plotting another playthrough to handle things a bit differently. Inquisition is a triumph and proves that despite some missteps along the way, BioWare hasn't lost its touch." - Chris Carter [Full review]

GamesBeat -- 87/100

"What BioWare has done better than most in the past is just as smooth and well-tended here. Characters are well-realized beings of desires and complications. The world of Thedas is an inviting glimpse into complicated fantasy, now with that new-generation gleam and polish. Add to that the Inquisition, a central narrative mechanic that will turn the speediest of speed-runners into an obsessive-compulsive herb picker, and the game is a worthy addition to a spectacular Western RPG franchise, only barely surpassed by Dragon Age: Origins." - Gavin Greene [Full review]

I can't wait to see what you guys have to say about it.

Awesome to see Dragon Age: Inquisition getting such excellent reviews all around.

I have no interest in Bioware games so I can't comment on the content.

Glad the game is getting great reviews and has a lot of content to enjoy.

Agreed. We go through dry spells with a sprinkle here and there all year and the BAM, they hit us with a ton of anticipated games all at once.

Man I want to play this game. Loved the first one.

Dragon Age 2 got good reviews also and the game was shit. I'm not getting fooled again I'll pick Inquisition up in the bargain bin in 6 months.

I'll wait for more player feedback. I mean, the first game got great reviews and turned out to be Bioware's most painfully boring game ever, so...I'm no entirely sold by these reviews.

@DigitalDame: awesome job!

Yea, most big releases like this are automatically given a high score. Waiting on the codex review.

Dragon Age 2 is one thing but most people loved the first Dragon Age game. That game according to the majority deserved it's positive reviews. Full disclosure I haven't played DA2 yet so I can't comment.

Oh I know it was popular, but I just couldn't stand it. The dungeons were exceptionally poorly designed, the setting was as generic as its artstyle, Each section draaaaaagged for about 10 hours longer than it needed to, and every aspect of its design made me want to put it down and play Bioware's vastly superior fantasy RPG instead (Baldurs Gate 2).

i really hope the story is good, and by the looks of it is

ikr? my only gripe with the first one was combat. But the combat in this one looks pretty darn fantastic.

Still bitter I see. When will you learn to accept reality?

I wish more developers would do this. Release review copies of the game early and left the press embargo a few days in advance. It shows that the developers really have confidence in their product.

Even if you are skeptical of the reviews its very refreshing when a developer takes the risk and lets reviews of their game come out early. To often we see devs release games they know are shitty or broken and release a bunch of hype trailers and keep the actually content a mystery. More transparency the better.

I totally agree with that sentiment. Last of Us was a perfect example of this

i cant wait the first big deep and gorgeous next gen WRPG

Its true that quality of a game can't be measured in terms of quantity, that number is still significant. The Dragon Age inquisition's are opening lore-maelstrom threatens to fill fear inside you.

Well this is it mate

Why is anyone hyped for this?

They haven't made a good game in like 10 years. Dragon Age 2 and Mass effect 3 were probably the worst hyped up disasters I've witnessed.

People have the memory of a gold-fish I guess.

There's absolutely no risk involved.

Giving early review copies to reviewers is basically a marketing tool nowadays.

Does this game play like skryim , or like world of warcraft?

There is a risk involved. If reviewers like your game then you get a stream of positive press that holds more weight then just trailers. However, if your game is bad it can drastically impact your sales. A lot of mediocre games sell well not because they are good but because they create enough marketing buzz to have a strong first week lunch.

Mass Effect 3 was amazing, even though i might have issues with the ending. Dragon Age 2, is great but not amazing. How about Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, Star Wars The Old Republic, Dragon Age Origins

I agree here with Ride despite the relationship nonsense and the ending ME3 and the series was some of the better games that year.

So they have made a fair amount of great games in the last 10 years.

i mean saying they haven't made good games in 10 years is ignorant

Mass Effect 3's ending was the least of its problems.

Please elaborate

I'd have to write for hours on end.

@kakamoura: You're making an argument that ME3 sucked, why? The story had some of the most emotional moments in the series
