@blueinheaven: You mean the hair that actually moves when its windy, unlike the original?

Oh wow the hair actually moves? Wow. That totally makes up for the graphics looking like they were drawn by a six year old child. In a box. Wearing a blindfold.

Charge more, do less.

Use to not have a problem with Remasters (and stuff like Quake are excellent) but predictably they are taking the piss.

Except it does more. The animations alone are way better.

Remastered

The remastered is miles better in this scene.

Is that really supposed to be hair on her head? lol PS2 graphics in the LIS 'remaster'.

Legend of Heroes, great turn based RPG's from the Sky Trilogy and the Crossbell games to the Cold Steel series, constantly evolving and connected universe and improving gameplay with every arc.

Much better than Persona and Final Fantasy in every way imaginable IMO.

Fallen Order was a total snoozefest. Awful story and characters, boring repetitive environments, terrible skill trees, stupid wall-running which didn't fit the game at all but they had it in Titanfall so yeah let's slap it in here what the hell.

Insanely over-rated developer, I wouldn't get my hopes too high on any of their future projects.

RT is almost never worth the performance hit. 4K DLSS quality max everything on a 3080 is my current 'go to' mode.

On older cards (2080 is still a great card) DLSS will give you what you need. RT sometimes makes me feel like I'm in a friggin hall of mirrors, it's over-rated. IMO, before some clown pipes up telling me it's just my opinion like I didn't already know that!

PC, even more enticing now since Gamepass keeps getting stronger.

Switch and Toilet Gaming should be the same category.

@blueinheaven: Lets look at the Steam scores shall we.....

The Witcher 3, 97% Overwhelmingly Positive

DAI, 75% Mostly Positive

In fact, on Steam, DAI is actually slightly lower rated than DA2 and MEA

Yep more nonsense pointing at scores because I destroyed all your arguments.

It doesn't really matter which game you or I prefer the important thing here is we have firmly established that your criteria for what merits GOTY is completely warped and entirely based on a) your own fanboy agenda and b) your own perception of what other people think, that last one is particularly hilarious.

And on that note, we are done. You are now talking to yourself. Have fun amigo.

@blueinheaven: You are in serious denial. You may be entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to the facts. The fact is that DAI is seen as another Bioware disappointment in retrospect. Really, if DAI came out after TW3, it would of had the same fate as Mass Effect Andromeda.

The Witcher 3 is considered one of the greatest RPGs ever made, DAI is not, simple as that. And The Witcher 3 had a much bigger cultural impact and was much bigger in sales than DAI

But lets go anyway. The Witcher 3's main story may not be the best but DAI's main story is completely rushed and cliched. As for the side stories, its no contest that TW3 dominated DAI. And exploration is far better done in TW3 than it is in DAI, which goes through the motions. And really, TW3 and The Witcher in general is far more creative than the generic Dragon Age series. Its not just the setting, its the story threads, the themes, and the lore. The only thing DAI does better is character customization, but what good is that when the protagonist is bland as hell?

Once again, Mario Kart 8 is seen my many as the best game of the series. What part of this do you not understand? It also has its own cultural impact. And no, the others have not held up as well as 8 has and the Switch sales prove it.

Disco Elysium is indeed, considered an RPG by the vast majority of people. Try again.

It is you with the pretense and the denial. The fact is that games, like all works, can be seen as much better or worse in retrospect. For example, Dancing with Wolves won the Oscar the same year Goodfellas was nominated, but which movie is seen as the better film now?

DAI was seen as a Bioware disappointment in retrospect? lol, how does that even work? So people play it and love it then later decide it's a disappointment because someone else tells them it is? Listen to yourself man...

I've already pointed out exactly why W3 is light years off being one of the greatest RPG's ever made. Never mind what you think OTHER PEOPLE 'consider' I am talking to you not them and have blown away every single one of your arguments one by one but you keep coming back bleating on about things like sales etc that nobody gives a f*** about. And what is this 'cultural impact' you think W3 had? This is comedy gold.

Let's forget this whole DAI/W3 thing, I mean you're giving me this.. 'Exploration is far better done in TW3' I'm going to go right ahead and assume you have never, ever played DAI. There are amazing things to see, the environment is beautiful and not just endless bland countryside, and the locations are totally diverse, all the absolute opposite to TW3 and the lore, built over many games is incredibly deep and true to itself not 'this is what Geralt is doing this time' from TW3. You're either lying or just hopelessly deluded and determined to fanboy all over TW3 till you're blue in the face.

Mario Kart best game in the series doesn't mean instant classic. Again with the cultural impact BS are you on drugs? NOBODY cares how much it sold, there is hardly anything worth buying on Switch anything half decent will be lapped up.

DE: again you're talking about other people instead of defending it yourself. I pointed out it's extremely niche so is not even on the starter block for GOTY and of course you just completely ignored it like you have all my other points about the other games.

You're wasting my time. Repeat yourself again like you have with every other post on here and call on 'other people' to back you up (lol) if you feel you must, but if you ignore all my points again and persevere with a one way conversation we're done.

@blueinheaven: The Witcher 3 is widely viewed as a better game than Dragon Age Inquisition, so much so that it caused DAI to be viewed far more poorly in retrospect, and in turn, Bioware. That is the real history here.

TW3 does storytelling better, it does exploration better, and it manages to bind the exploration and world design with questing and storytelling far better than DAI does. In fact that aspect, Mass Effect Andromeda does better than DAI.

Mario Kart 8 actually adds to the mix like anti-grav. And it has a legacy, despite it being a 2014 Wii U game, it is the best selling Switch game ever. So it stands the test of time with flying colors.

Disco Elysium is closer to an RPG than any other RPG as it is the closest to matching the pen and paper roots of the genre. Disco Elysium also has one of the genre's best leveling and stat/skill/perk systems, all without having a combat system. You do not have to have a combat system to have RPG gameplay and Disco Elysium shows this.

Witcher 3 is viewed as better than DAI according to who? You? You're pulling stuff out of your ass again and trying to pass your own opinion off as fact. Both games are very different and people take to one or the other for different reasons. Both scored very well and most RPG gamers have played and liked both.

As to your 'points': W3 has a couple of really good side quests and a plain awful main story. Not sure how that equates to better storytelling. Exploration is boring in W3, everywhere looks the same oh wait you see a new continent and there's snow. There's no creativity in the world building at all, nothing like The Fade or the many varied environments in DAI. World design is far more interesting in DAI too. The locations are unique and far more interesting than just endless countryside everywhere you go.

I can see why people like W3 and even prefer it to DAI if they're just big Geralt fans but you refuse to acknowledge what DAI does far better because it doesn't suit your agenda. You are not at all interested in the merits of one game over the other you just want people to agree with your opinion.

Same thing with Mario Kart 8, its legacy or how much it sold have literally zero bearing on its merits as a classic and its a racing game I should think it holds up over time in exactly the same way the other 7 did in as much as its just another Mario Kart game. Nowhere near GOTY material unless you're a Nintendo fanboy.

DE is not an RPG by most people's standards it's a VN with stats and is incredibly niche. Regardless, it's an acquired taste, hardly GOTY worthy for that reason alone.

You may as well give up this pretense of trying to do right by worthy GOTY contenders when really you're just trying to get people to agree with your own fanboy agendas.
