I cant be more happier about this!

Looter shooter 4 co-op mobile only P2W

Really hope this isnt all of Dragon Age we’re gonna see this year. A logo I care zero for, a screenshot, footage or hell…even artwork.

Bioware is really gonna have to win me back with this one. Andromeda was not it. Even if that was the b team.

Really looking forward to Dragon Age 4.

Yeah, you all that replied me are probably right lol I’m probably being selfish since I don’t care about Persona 5 or FF7R. Maybe if the discussion was around Shin Megami Tensei V though, hehe…

I just think that it would be weird for Xbox to get those titles but not their sequels. It’s like Xbox is eating a bread that was already bitten by Sony (lol)

Isn’t it better to just wait until the game comes out and see its reception in that case? Because if memory serves me right, Andromeda and Anthem looked like hits prerelease, or at least good, as well.

I don’t as Bioware nowadays is an empty shell of itself. I am not sure when it was the last time they released the really good RPG game.

Besides Anthem Bioware has never made a bad game IMO, just games that some people didn’t like based off it deviating from an older formula or not continuing with certain characters or settings. I expect Dragon Age to be great and do really well despite that segment of folks who will pan it on general principle because of the ā€œBioware is deadā€ chestnut.

Do we post 4chan stuff at all or nah?

Anything new aside Avowed rumor?

4chan is 99.9 percent bullshit. Not worth posting IMO

They are wrong too often for them to be worth posting

Avowed was posted already? About the 2022 release date, bit smaller map than Skyrim and apparently a little under being a AAA game?

Sounds like total horseballs to me

Yeah, posted and discussed :joy:

Some of those sound realistic. We will see.

A bit smaller than Skyrim is possible, according to Sponger they were going for bigger but maybe they realised it was better to make it a bit smaller, more dense. 2022? Nah! Under AAA? When ToW is already AA and Avowed has been in development way longer and going by what we read about it (unofficial though) I doubt it isn’t AAA.

People underestimate the size of Skyrim’s map.

If they fill it with tons of content (including underground cities and dungeons) it is good.

World size really doesn’t mean anything until you know whats in it, GTAV feels huge but 2/3rds of it is empty desert and there’s little to no reason to actually explore any of it

Skyrims really isn’t that huge but has endless amounts of dungeons/villages and towns to find, plus the movement is very slow making the game feel even bigger

Smaller/Bigger than skyrim means nothing until you know what the world is like

Oh very true. The map actually in Skyrim is quite big I feel, but it’s especially the dungeons that really has the most meat and things to do. The cities too and villages but it often is quite barren too. It never bothered me. But if Avowed is more dense, that’s great.

The one thing I don’t get is why they would call it not AAA. When the budget is clearly higher than ToW and even though we officially have no details yet, I think it will have a lot. But I’m not gonna get hung up on this. Especially not when it’s 4chan.

Now I am actually curious how the teams internally label their games.
