@dogman12602 @Mingdoni Usually all gameplay demos shown are played on a pc. Even the console exclusives are rendered not on their console but on a pc for the presentations.

@GuillermoX Yeah. The combat is OK, actually very neat. But since everything else was so good it looks inferior in comparisson. More than it actually is.

@hinzkunz Still better than Bioshock 2 DLC which was on the game disc

@erik2005 then pay another 5 EUR for a beer or two and get excited again.

@grbolivar So they are to blame that they want to make good DLC instead of short and underdeveloped ones?

@SIDOUSOMEGA Or buy a PC and attach it to the TV. Does the same things, only better and cheaper

@Coco_pierrot Most of the game developers try to create meaningful stories and charachters, and vision. But they struggle. The richest franchises (everybody knows them) Happen to be constant grinds. Halo CoD, WoW, Starcraft, GTA (whatever). So they just make sequels while Creative studious struggle and fight to promt something innovative and unique between the storm of yearly sequels and whenever they succeed in that already hard task, their games are thouroughly criticised.

About the music, unfortunately it has become an ambient sound. Something to accompany everyday life. That is not art. Entertainment as a whole has become like the street cleaners or sanitairs - a job to entertain in the background for the sake of comfortability of consumers.

@kingcrimson24 Hitman 2. It had segmented levels, stupid story, very very linear kills and not to forget AI that behaved randomly. BTW Hitman Absolution is the closest to Hitman Silenta Assassin. You need to replay hitman 2 again to refresh your memory.

@myungish I see that the games you mentioned are more or less the second in the series. Usually the second game is the best because it enhances the original and generally is the most successful one. After that (especially if the release is very successful) the developer stops taking risks and makes more of the same. No wonder Valve doesn't announce half life 3. They know that a sequel should not be considdered just as a part of a series but a separate game that is as important and needs the same attention and creativity as any new IP. And that is a good lesson for most developers and publishers

@I_ArCh0n_I the mages and templars conflicts and tension is just what's left from the antient wars that catered to the fall of the Tevinter Imperium (check it out). So basically the main conflict was alwas mages and demons against everyone else. The blight, grey wardens and the archdemon (from DA origins) is just a ricochet from antient times and is not the main topic of the world. It explains why most people in DA Origins refused to see the blight as a threat.
