- I thought that the game was going to read in the save from Dragon Age 2 which I never finished. I started playing that last week and have around 25 hours invested then found out that it used the Dragon Age Keep app that doesn't read saves but uses a different method to acquire your choices from previous games so I was a little disappointed.
- The app is very good though and it allows you to edit around 60 different plot points from the previous games. It did read my decisions from the first Dragon Age and after I made some choices on the 3rd act of DA2 which I hadn't finished it played a 15 minute flash video of the story with the choices I made which was awesome since it's been about 5 years since I played the original Dragon Age although I did remember quite a bit about it than I had thought I would.
- The first game was an expansive journey which took you around the world of Ferelden in a grand adventure. The second game went in a different direction and had you in a single city with some expanded areas and the game didn't feel as epic as the first and wasn't received well although the story was great.
- The 3rd game goes back to the grand adventure of the first with a larger world full of content. I've read that some people have spent 20 hours just in the first town.
- The graphics are a huge overhaul and it does feel next gen with some really good looking faces. I spent about 30 minutes tweaking my character.
- The combat is a mix of the first and second games so you can play it as an action rpg or tactical depending on the difficulty you set. I'm playing with a controller and it feels great and it's easy to control, there is actually a jump button for the first time in the series.
- I think Bioware learned their lesson and have put out one of the best games of this year and with over 150 hours of content maybe next year as well.
- So there I was minding my own business out in the jungle when I thought I heard some loud foot steps behind me, I went to get into my car and then "BAM!" I was flying through the air dead from the initial impact. I did forget to mention that I had previously shot at a rhino. Don't ---- with rhinos.
- Far Cry 4 is Far Cry 3 on steroids, everything from the previous game has been upgraded and enhanced which made a great game even better. The only thing the game needs is a kill cam, I would love to see they ways I've died from an above camera view.
- The environments are lush with more grass and trees than the last game and with the snowy mountain peaks in the background make this a stunning looking game.
- I'm able to run the game at mostly max settings after having to edit an xml file because I was getting occasional stutters, this should be fixed with a path soon. It ran fine after that and I had no other issues, except for rhinos.
- The wildlife in this game is more aggressive, you have to be cautious of your surroundings and even from the air, hawks will swoop down out of nowhere and will attack. I was in a boat and got out to collect a plant, but didn't notice the piranhas, dead again.
- I only put in a couple of hours since I was sampling the other games and I am really impressed with the game.
GTA V (PS4) Awesome Buy Now!
- I bought the 360 version when it came out last year and played around 15 hours but didn't get close to finishing. The game was good but I just didn't like the way it looked or performed.
- I was going to wait for the PC version which comes out Jan 25 but once they released the first person trailer I had to get the game.
- I've played about 3 hours all in first person view and it makes the game feel totally different.
- The movement doesn't feel like a first person shooter, you can tell the camera is on a body so it does take a bit to get used to. They have all kinds of new animations for this view like jumping over objects and crashing out the window of a crashed car. It all adds to the immersion and being able to walk down the street and admire all the attention to detail of the city is amazing.
- The shooting seems better and when you go into cover I do have it set to switch to 3rd person view to get a better sense of my surroundings. You can change your view at any time by pressing the touch panel which is really nice.
- The graphical upgrade to 1080P and the smooth frame rate makes the game feel like a next gen game.
- The install did take around an hour on the PS4 though luckily I had some other games to play.
- New Releases - Well the final week before Thanksgiving means a ton of games. I have 3 picks this week, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, and GTA V. Escape Dead Island looks interesting as well.
