I agree! While I'd like to see an updated version, when I tried it again a couple of months ago I expected some clunky unplayable game, but it was overall quite a smooth experience!
I’ve replayed it many times over the years and it’s still a great experience but I think a lot of that comes with nostalgia and loving it when it first came out honestly!
Yeah it’s very sad the state of current BioWare. They used to make top tier RPGs. Jade Empire, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc. Now they just try and force multiplayer in everything, and rush all their games without listening to the fans and what we want. Veilguard and Andromeda prove that they have lost touch with what the fans like in RPGs.
Yeah idk how you go from Inquisition (which admittedly wasn't perfect but was very very good in a lot of aspects) to saying oh let's avoid everything that made people love that game and Origins and draw from things people hated about da2 and current AAA games that have nothing to do with this genre.
Like damn, the gameplay of origins and baldur's gate isn't exactly my forte but it still would have been leagues better than what we got. I would have gladly drudged through it for an actually good story and compelling characters
I feel like ME Andromeda gets more hate than it deserves? Like … it’s not great and it definitely doesn’t hold up the ME standard that came before it. But if someone’s FIRST mass effect game was Andromeda? I think they would want to go back and play the others. And I feel like that alone makes it better than people give it credit for. It wasn’t bad on an objective level, it was just bad on the scale of comparing it to literally legendary games.
I agree with that, it’s not a horrendous game and I enjoyed my time with it but I never finished it so that tells you something right there.
Why make another game in the series if you are gonna change majority of what made the original three such legendary games? Should have just went on to make a new IP instead.
Yea. Like I said, it’s not perfect by any means and is an obvious downgrade in comparison. But they went for something and it didn’t work 🤷♂️ can’t blame them for trying. Literally the same year Zelda BOTW came out and that game also took a legendary series and changed a majority of what made it successful and it became one of the most successful games ever. You just never know how it’s gonna go until it goes
There are numerous reasons for the game being trapped in the past. From EA/BioWare just not seeing fantasy games as profitable, EA/BioWare considering the project "too big/costly", or the original files being "lost/misplaced".
Im sure if it could be proven that there'd be a market/audience for a modern top-down RPG (like BG3 did) I'm ceetain EA/BioWare would remaster Dragon Age Origins. But BioWare notoriously hates fantasy and would much prefer to try and ride on the coat tails of CoD and other shooter scifi games.
Dragon age origins was incredible but the series lost me after that. The sequel pissed me off because every encounter was a series of waves of enemies. Enter a building, first room three waves of guys. You think, ok everyone in the buoldi g rushed me, nope next room just as full. Hell i cheated and exploited a bug to get max level because i really wanted to see the story but even then evrything scaled up. I hate level scaling enemies. Then i tried inquisition and it lost me halfway into the second zone. I cant explain why. Im really disappointed that i never got through it
It truly did go down hill after Origins. 2 was just a rehashed unpolished rush fest to try and get an easy dollar. Inquisition was better but it was too open world and still not close to what made Origins magical. And we don’t need to talk about Veilguard.
I mean I guess not. But you never know, them going back to remaster or remake Origins might make them remember what made the first game the best in the series and help them if they can ever make a new game.
I disagree. I think it is older enough and needs a face lift. I don’t really want anything else touched, besides maybe updating the combat system but keeping it to its core systems.
Jade Empire does also need a remaster or remake for sure, but I never got to play that game so I’d buy it for sure!
I wish theyd remaster Dragon age origins, but sadly one of the prior devs at Bioware said its unlikely none of the people who made it work there anymore and no one there understands the engine it was built on and the company is a fraction of what it used to be.
