I just saw some of it on GTTV.

doesn't look like it will have any gameplay in that trailer.

Don't get too hyped up for the trailer. It is like 10 seconds long and boring.

What a terrible trailer. This game has been in development forever and they don't even show off anything resembling gameplay. The setting is so generic that it could have come out of any developer, too. SMH, Bioware.

It's Bio-Fucking-Ware. It's on PC. It simply cannot fail.

You keep believing that. What with the title Origins, it sounds like the game is episodic now. What with this being EA, it will be lowest common denominatored for consoles, I bet.

Glass is either half-full or half-empty, duh.

I see an amazing looking PC RPG in the making, you see another Jade Empire White Man.

Look at it this way: the game was debuted in 2004, and we have NEVER SEEN GAMEPLAY. That is even worse than FFXIII.

Jabberwocky · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2008, 05:58:10 AM »

Looks like it's borrowing some style from the LotR movies (in a good way, I'll add). Then again, all western fantasy games seem to be borrowing from those movies these days.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2008, 07:43:10 AM »

Major disappointment.

If the people creating this thought that was something to get it's core audience hyped for the game, you have to wonder about their decision-making abilities for other aspects of the game.

So far Dragon Age is 0 for 2 out of the gate.

I was reading the Bioware forums and the Marketing/PR director? (I think it was he/she) was stating how the 9th "Teaser Page" was actually a pretty cool thing they did for the fans and stating that they should be hyped over just that. Now this shit. I wonder how they'll explain away and murky looking video that had awful dialogue and no gameplay whatsoever.

Yup. This game looks like total ripped off LOTR shit.

I'm just shocked they went from the terrible Forgotten Realms setting and then created their OWN LOTR rip off, which is all Forgotten Realms was in the first place.

Oh well.

If the trailer ended with a "Lord of the Rings: Whatever" title, would anyone have noticed?

I absolutely despise the use of 'generic' and 'meh', but damn if this game doesn't fit the bill. How about just a little sense of originality? Of course I'm still there on day one since it's Bioware.

yes, everything you saw was in-engine.

Well, at least that is something to be happy about.

Also, that geoff dude said that a second trailer will be released tomorrow. In it, you will get a better feel for the "scope of combat" in the game. Which means we will probably see a big sprawling fight. I wonder how that works into the mechanics of the game? Will it be like an RTS where you build an army (through adventuring with a small team, ala NWN2) and then do a battle? Or will it be like the Total War series where you control groups of fighters? shrug.

It’s in the same spirit as this one but wait until you see the scale of the combat.

Which means it may or may not be more cutscenes. I'm not getting my hopes up again.

What's up with the characters' skin texture? Sorry I'd take even the most bland and generic anime art over this any day of the week. I don't like WRPGs and this game's probably not gonna change my mind... only game that could probably do that at this point would be getting Richard Garriott back to make a single player Ultima X.

Wow, that was terrible. I had to watch the first forgettable trailer again just to confirm that this was indeed new. Looks like Osama Bin Laden set up the BioBomba. So, is this EA's fault or what? It would be kinda poetic if 2 EA cockhead things happened in one week.

In other words: no gameplay people, don't bother watching.

I don't get the fuss over the teaser drawing similarities to LOTR, but whatever. It's an entire genre inspired in some way by LOTR. It is what it is. Dragon Age is a fantasy game from BioWare, I'm not sure what people were expecting if not this. And we still don't even know what this is, but it's interesting enough so far.

Maybe that's where we're just going to have to differ. I'm going to assume the gameplay is fun, because I've not had reason to doubt BioWare's abilities from what I've played. I should say that I don't particularly follow games all that much nowadays, so pre-release marketing from publishers and gameplay dissection from whomever is largely lost on me. I don't pay attention. But I watched the trailer, I like BioWare, so I'm interested.

We will have to disagree, because BioWare's console outings are one of the big reasons I'm willing to let myself have little faith in this. I am not sure if they are capable of making a "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate 2 anymore.

BioWare may have even peaked before they moved to consoles. Maybe they moved to consoles since they knew the filthy console fans wouldn't know an excellent game if it slapped them across their fat faces.

Mass Effect was a masterpiece. Please tell me what was wrong with that game besides the technical issues. It was fucking incredible... such a good narrative, solid gunplay with a cover mechanic, great dialogue system, amazing visuals, and such an awesome atmosphere. It really felt like you were taking part in an epic space odyssey.

bobo the sidequests were all the same!!!11

then don't fucking play the sidequests. I only did like two of them and still clocked almost 25 hours.

There are no worthy complaints about this game. Demi, you can fuck right off.

TVC15 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:02:15 PM »

I don't hate Mass Effect. I merely think it is good. It's far too short, and the squad mate AI is absolutely useless.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #54 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:07:57 PM »

How is 20-25 hours for the main quest too short? Come on..

And you have to remember that the first game in a series more often than not has the least amount of content simply because they have to work on the engine. Now that UE3 is fully optimized for ME, Bioware can focus more on content and have a longer game. This happens all the time.

The squad AI could use improvement but it's not a big issue at all. And if you use Biotic squad members, they use their abilities all the time. You see them lifting people up in the air and throwing them across the room very often.

solid gunplay with a cover mechanic

If ME is your example of solid gunplay with a cover mechanic (which half the time doesnt even work), maybe you should give Rainbow Six a try

You might find a good game

MCD · « **Reply #56 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:12:43 PM »

mass effect biggest fault is the total lack of varieties.

almost all areas in the main quest are buildings and shit and they are all small.

and the planets are all empty and barren with one building which is the same as any other planet.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #57 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:13:52 PM »

The gunplay was fine. I admittedly rarely used the cover system because it really wasn't that necessary, but the actual gunplay was fine. I had a Vanguard... she specialized in shotties, pistols and of course had several Biotic abilities. She was a beast and I had zero issues with taking down enemies with the shotgun and pistol.

Maybe they should have given it some more time to actually get some content in then? Seriously now, that's the worst excuse for a lack of content that I've ever come across.

It's too short because my final save time in KOTOR was upwards to 60 hours - did I mention that game was more varied then ME as well? Shocking, coming from an Xbox game. Xbox. One.
