It turned out that he didn't know he could assign points to Shepard and his companions as he leveled up or equip better armors and weapons.
I just can't comprehend how he was unable to notice giant flashing button in menu or any of the level up popups. I know journos are horrible players but it's easier for me to believe he did it on purpose in some desperate and/or misguided publicity stunt.

haven't you seen the cuphead video? the instructions are LITERALLY on the screen right there. and even without it you apply what you learned before to overcome the obstacle, which a fucking pigeon figured out faster than he could jump over it.

I worded my previous post wrong, what I meant was, if I didn't know better, I'd sooner believe it was publicity stunt rather than incompetence. His lack of skill is just so surreal, he's supposedly working in gaming press for two decades yet he's on par with eighty years old grandpa who's holding controller for the first time. Although, I imagine eighty years old grandpa would click to see what each button does and would stumble upon level up screen sooner or later.
 
Yep. They casualized everything after he published his negative review of ME1. According to him, the game was too difficult. It turned out that he didn't know he could assign points to Shepard and his companions as he leveled up or equip better armors and weapons.

It's simply amazing how game journos ruined gaming. Every other media had journos living in their own faggot sphere, but gaming never got over trying to appease them.

How old is Skyrim Granny? Says a lot that game journos are quite literally worse at video games than a old woman is.

It also puts Dean Takahashi, allegedly an actual journalist, on the same level as Angry Joe, who did the exact same thing in his Alpha Protocol review, bitching that he couldn't hit anything and even doing a stupid little sketch about it because he didn't realize he needed to beef up his firearms skills.
 
Its so obvious that Conrad is suppose to represent the sub-section of the playerbase that hated the ideas of clips and shep is the game devs telling them to go fuck themselves.
The way thermal clips were initially designed and written does actually make sense, they just changed it so that during gameplay they work exactly like standard ammo because Call of Booty or whatever.

Initially, during ME2's development. TCs worked in that you'd shoot your gun and it would build up heat, then you could pop a clip to instantly cool your weapon down and keep shooting, but you could still let them cool down conventionally and keep shooting them if you had no clips to spare just like in ME1. Making the guns not fire if you had no clips is extra retarded because that's not even how they're supposed to work.

So in-universe the way they work is fine and would be a logical addition to your toolset. I don't even know why they felt like they HAD to make it work like conventional ammo rather than the initial design.
They'll just portray selling the kid into demon possession as a good thing.

Imagine being a senior developer on the game and the message comes down from on high to change it all because a game reviewer is too stupid for it. It already requires greater than average intelligence to do that job and then you're subject to trying to please people considerably below the bellcurve. You must feel like Mr. Incredible being bossed around by that tiny supervisor.

Had a glance at reddit to see what sort of buzz is around DA4 compared to other big RPGs. Pretty dead:

I wonder if that has anything to do with the rabid, autistic fan base that'll instantly call you a pissbaby for daring to say that you don't like the direction the franchise has taken.

If you want to look at other metrics, there hasn't been a positive video about the game on YouTube that has broken 100k views. For a franchise like Dragon Age, with the dev time and production cost of the game, that's terrible. Simply put, people do not care about the game whatsoever.

Speaking of autistic reddit communities, I saw this in the Kotaku in Action reddit (equally filled with spergs) and haven't seen it talked about anywhere else.

I'm not sure what the ramifications are, but I think it's an interesting scenario where exclusive coverage rights were given to a company that almost instantly shut down. I don't think there's ever been an example of that before.

(edit: just saw that Hiphopopotamus posted about this above after i submitted this post)

The main takeaway for me is that it seems even god himself thinks the game looks trash.

I think it's mostly dead because they took to long to make it. It's been ten years sense the last game came out most people have forgotten about the series and moved on. They should've made this game like six years ago at least. Too busy pumping out garbage during that time to bother with this series I guess.

It's not the only reason, but it's definitely a major one. It's especially bad because Inquisition ended on a cliffhanger, with oodles of unresolved mysteries lurking around the edges. Those are now so stale that it looks like the developers themselves are going to shrug at them. Long development times are becoming de rigeur, but some franchises can survive it and some can't ... and Dragon Age is not Grand Theft Auto, nor even is it The Elder Scrolls.

I'm starting to think this isn't only going to disappoint, it may be an Anthem-level disaster.

The game started out as a mobile action game or spinoff game that was not even part of Dragon Age. Then they tried to make it an actual RPG, in the Dragon Age IP, and didn't have nearly the team experienced nor talented enough to make a full scale RPG world and story. Now they've just confirmed that you only control your main character and you do not control your companions even in combat. So it's back to being essentially a generic action game just with a Dragon Age skin and branding. That has taken a decade to make.

worked for bg3. if it has enough gay bear sex and "drama" for white women it should do fine enough.

anthem once fixed was a fun enough game on it's own tho, where you could ignore most of the story. I expect this game won't have that luxury.

I think BG3's success can in large part be ascribed to BioWare leaving a big hole in the market for an easily accessible RPG with decent production values. Most people are put off by taking one look at an Owlcat game or similar. so for those people there hadn't really been a proper RPG in almost a decade.
Unless you count shit like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Since everything is an "RPG" these days.

I don't care about the looks of an Owlcat game. I do care that it's still fundamentally broken six months after relief. They've some great programmers and writers, but they need a decent project lead and to manage their deadlines better.
