Just a heads up Dragon Age is up on EA Access for the 6 hour trial. Once I accessed it through the EA hub it had the option to buy it, but if you slide over and actually select the cover art of Dragon Age it brings up the free trial option...downloading now....thanks you EA
6 hour access is there for Dragon Age
This topic is locked from further discussion.
When does it release?
@freedomfreak: 18th in US i think

Merci. This is nice then.
Still, it can also be seen as a ruthless tease. 6 hours is enough to get yourself into it. Kinda sucks to have that be taken away then, even if it is for a few days until release.

yeah but if you buy the game all your progress transfers
It darn well better :p
Indeed and the game starts out fantastic, I hope it maintains its momentum for a while after the intro part, but I'm not too worried as I loved the first 2 games and this one is getting solid reviews so far. Only thing is I regret having played an hour wihout going through Dragon Keep first, so I am going to finish that now and import my decisions and start over
is this only for xbone or pc too? looking on origin and can't find anything but "buy the game, believe the hype" spam ads all over the place

Think yourself lucky, they want £49.99 in the UK, that's over $80. The really wierd thing is that's for the digital download from Origin and Amazon but Amazon are also selling the disc version for £39.85 with free posting. How this is worked out, I'll never know.
Excited to give it a whirl

Dopes like you are the reason games are expensive.
60 bucks is not expensive. not for playing something that cost millions to make. You know how much it is to take a family of 4 to the movies for 2 hours of entertainment? about 60 bucks for the tickets alone plus add another 40-50 on food and drinks. 60 dollar games nets you hundreds of hours of entertainment that's available whenever you want in your own home. a 3d Blu ray? usually found for about 30 bucks for again 2 hours of watching. some cost up to 50 bucks. dinner for 4 at a decent restaurant? your looking at over 100 dollars. I guess its all relative, but games haven't went up in prices in 20+ years really. when you account for inflation they are actually cheaper then they used to and the cost to make them has gone up 20-30 times what it used to cost as well.
Dopes like you are the reason we seen online passes from EA/Ubi, Day 1 DLC, locked content on disc. and micro-transactions. all because some people refuse to pay 60 dollars for a game. I'm sorry but unless your saving up an allowance, 60 dollars shouldn't be an issue and if it is, maybe you should find a cheaper hobby. Nobody is "entitled" to be able to buy every game they want. its that immature attitude that ruins gaming, the internet, and why the latest generation of kids are flat out lazy and entitled.

I like how you grasped at straws to justify your position. I stopped reading after the first sentence with your goofy analogy. $60 is too expensive for a video game because I say so. Don't like it? Put your head in your pillow and cry about it.
i think he just destroyed you. you seem to have zero valid arguments against his so you're just closing your eyes (reason for not reading his post past the first sentence *even tho we all know you did*) and pretend nothing happened.

as you can see from the other responses below yours, your 100% wrong. why would i cry about it lol. 60 dollars might be too expensive for you personally, but its not too expensive in general. So if you can't afford to buy a game, you go cry about because they aren't getting any cheaper. and since most big games sell in the millions, obviously there are tons of other gamers out there who feel like 60 dollars is ok

nothing bad was directed at you FYI, i just said i do as i prefer buying my games on consoles. Yeah if you buy the PC versions you can usually save a few bucks. Either way its irrelevant to the little cry baby complaining that games are too expensive when i showed them how cheap they are for what you get

Yeah, you could go to the movies and spend $60 or you could go to a restaurant and spend $60. That means $60 isn't too much!!!!11oeneoneeojnm
STFU and GTFO.
it means the price per hour of entertainment is significantly lower in games then most other hobbies.
how about you go spend 100 million dollars of your own money to make a game, then see how you feel when some little kid cries that 60 dollars to play it is too much ;)

I have a better idea. I'll not and just complain that $60 is too much, because it is! You dopes are willing to pay that much when you could be paying less.
lol by waiting 6 months? by buying used? by pirating games? going to PC? none of those options are even remotely worth the money saved for me. Its not dumb to buy something that gives you hundreds of hours of entertainment for 60 bucks. How is somebody having a hobby dumb? hobbies are supposed to be done with disposable income. 60 bucks isn't that big of a deal. Your gonna have a harsh reality check when you grow up my friend. Us, as gamers should support the people who make these games, because if we don't the games won't come. they'll find new ways of money. F2P BS, MTs, DLCs, locked content etc etc. It would be like saying why are you going to buy that painting for 100 bucks. wait until the artist is out of business and you can buy it for 5 bucks. yeah that might be true, but then the artist will stop painting because it isn't worth it and you can't get more paintings. As gamers we need to speak with our wallets. and that decides where the industry goes. Every time you refuse to buy a game because its 60 dollars, your causing a ripple effect that screws over the hobby you supposedly love.

Me, who the hell wants to wait a year to play a game they want to save 20 bucks lol. no Thanks i'll pay my 60 and enjoy it right away.
Dopes like you are the reason games are expensive.
60 bucks is not expensive. not for playing something that cost millions to make. You know how much it is to take a family of 4 to the movies for 2 hours of entertainment? about 60 bucks for the tickets alone plus add another 40-50 on food and drinks. 60 dollar games nets you hundreds of hours of entertainment that's available whenever you want in your own home. a 3d Blu ray? usually found for about 30 bucks for again 2 hours of watching. some cost up to 50 bucks. dinner for 4 at a decent restaurant? your looking at over 100 dollars. I guess its all relative, but games haven't went up in prices in 20+ years really. when you account for inflation they are actually cheaper then they used to and the cost to make them has gone up 20-30 times what it used to cost as well.
Dopes like you are the reason we seen online passes from EA/Ubi, Day 1 DLC, locked content on disc. and micro-transactions. all because some people refuse to pay 60 dollars for a game. I'm sorry but unless your saving up an allowance, 60 dollars shouldn't be an issue and if it is, maybe you should find a cheaper hobby. Nobody is "entitled" to be able to buy every game they want. its that immature attitude that ruins gaming, the internet, and why the latest generation of kids are flat out lazy and entitled.
Solid post, would read again.

Post of the year? You dopes think it is lack of sales from people who refuse to pay $60 for a game that is the cause for micro-transactions?! Yeah, that's it. These companies instead of wanting to squeeze every penny out of you they can, are just trying to make up for lost sales from those who won't pay full price. Jesus Christ. It's like the blind leading the blind...

lol IDK he sounds like he might not sleep for weeks.
it means the price per hour of entertainment is significantly lower in games then most other hobbies.
how about you go spend 100 million dollars of your own money to make a game, then see how you feel when some little kid cries that 60 dollars to play it is too much ;)
I have a better idea. I'll not and just complain that $60 is too much, because it is! You dopes are willing to pay that much when you could be paying less.
lol by waiting 6 months? by buying used? by pirating games? going to PC? none of those options are even remotely worth the money saved for me. Its not dumb to buy something that gives you hundreds of hours of entertainment for 60 bucks. How is somebody having a hobby dumb? hobbies are supposed to be done with disposable income. 60 bucks isn't that big of a deal. Your gonna have a harsh reality check when you grow up my friend. Us, as gamers should support the people who make these games, because if we don't the games won't come. they'll find new ways of money. F2P BS, MTs, DLCs, locked content etc etc. It would be like saying why are you going to buy that painting for 100 bucks. wait until the artist is out of business and you can buy it for 5 bucks. yeah that might be true, but then the artist will stop painting because it isn't worth it and you can't get more paintings. As gamers we need to speak with our wallets. and that decides where the industry goes. Every time you refuse to buy a game because its 60 dollars, your causing a ripple effect that screws over the hobby you supposedly love.
Your argument clearly demonstrates that you do not properly understand the value of money. Hell, my car provides me with thousands of hours of usefulness, but that doesn't mean I am willing to pay sticker price for it. Maybe when you dopes grow up and actually pay for things like a mortgage, insurance, health care costs, etc, instead of living off of mom and dad, you will understand.
lol i pay for all those, and the market dictates car and house prices, they fluctuate based on the market. thats why there is KBB who gives you a fair purchase price based on the market and value of the car. Also cars and houses are a necessity and large expenses. gaming is a hobby/form of entertainment. comparing a hobby that cost 60 dollars to a car that cost over 50k is a poor analogy at best. houses and cars have also gone up in value in the past 20 years. Houses are an asset that gain value. There is a huge difference. what you are saying is to walk into walmart to buy a game, see it cost 60 bucks and go **** you its not worth it and storm out. I understand the value of money. I'm sorry if you can't afford a game, but it doesn't mean that 60 dollars isn't a fair purchase price because it is. TO use your analogy, a game cost lets say 100 million to make. you pay 60 dollars to use it for life. So by your account you should be able to buy a 100 million dollar mansion by paying them 60 dollars to use it as much as you want as long as you want and its a rip off. You are just flat out wrong here man.
