Too bad the game is ruined right before the 20 hour mark. Terrible writing. Terrible voice lines.
Performance is amazing, Ultra with the RTX 3080 at 90fps? You can do that. 120 fps with the RTX 3080 at medium? Sure. The only issue is the starting area is much heavier than the rest of the game, so I actually increased my settings after I finished that part.
Frostbite on fire in this title though. Beautiful graphics, best of the year, and runs super fast.
If you have any issues, set everything to medium (with max textures if you have 10GB or higher VRAM card) and be shocked at the high performance.
Not particularly surprising, the game itself is a mid action game that, at this point, has basically nothing in common with Origins at all, so no original fan of the series would be particularly interested. Nor would core RPG players in general - it isn’t one. Trotting out this after BG3 has definitely shown that classic style RPGs are absolutely commercially viable is hilarious, though I suppose it was too late to course-correct. The fact that it’s supposed to be Dragin Age, the series that BioWare had created as a “back to the roots, PC-first RPG” as opposed to Mass Effects more “action and console oriented” experience just shows how much this company has lost the plot and homogenized everything into one gray goo. Three fucking abilities on a shared CD and a primer/detonator mechanic is something I expect to see in ME, not a Dragon Age game.
Don’t think so, this is like the third iteration of DA4 as I understand it and was made in the last 3-ish years. Hence the trend chasing with attempts to imitate nu-GoW combat.
The game has great combat, great visuals, great UI. I like the addition of dodge and parry and jump works properly with mantle and attacks also. I'm playing Mage.
The game is failing because bad writing and stuff that you can't say here, people are just dancing around the issue. The first trailer was a good indication, people were right to judge it harshly. They could have easily sold twice as many copies if they just wrote the characters better. Sold 4x more if the tone was better. I've played 20 hours of it and the game is excellent except for one area, the dialogue and writing.
I love Emmerich though. The old guy ended up being my favorite ha.
BTW you are using 12 abilities at a time. More than enough.
I am starting to see SkillUp's problem where in the late game you randomly run in to higher level enemies that have too much health. That's my only other concern. I was really annoyed when I ran in to an enemy 10 levels above me (a boss also) that took 30 minutes to kill because I was ice heavy and the enemy was ice resistant, VERY resistant. 30 minutes for one guy, was tiring. You can't swap weapons during combat and there was no warning like in other RPGs to stay clear of him. I should have just quit and reloaded but I stuck it out for 30 minutes.
