That gamespot is full of lowbrowed console gamers is kind of obvious. Who else could love that trash combat and gameplay,...
*raises hand*
I loved DA:I personally, next to D:OS, DA:I is my second favorite game this year. Sure it has bugs but trash? Far from it methinks.
And I'm a PC gamer.
It's not trash imo. It's just a very mediocre game, a typcial lowest common denominator game made for the mainstream console audience that loves simplicity and faster than fast rewards. It's a game that is usually hard to hate but also hard to love. That's why it sells so well. A lot of people like it "somehow" or parts of it although it doesn't have a single real strength that'd make it really unique. It just copied elements of other games and clued them together without any own ideas or innovation. The result is an inconsitent mess. It's one of those games in which the sum isn't greater than its parts. It's actually the other way round. It has some good parts that doesn't work together well and it has some bad parts that just stay that bad. Real pity. Even DA2 was a better game because it was a lot more consistent and managed to combine its parts (although they mostly weren't all that good after all...) to a better overall experience. And probably the biggest problem with DAI is that it has no identity and no consistent game design philosophy. It's basically a simple button-mashing console MMO (just look at how the regions aka zones or the combat are designed...) marketed as a story-driven (PC hardcore) SP RPG. It's like Bioware didn't have the balls to decide which game they really wanted to make. It wants to be half action-MMORPG and half cRPG, but it does neither serve really well in the end. That's why it is mediocre by design...
Short: "A game made for everyone is a game made for no one."
And if you have to read posts like "I love Dragon Age Inquisition and I'm not even an RPG fan/gamer." you finally know that there is something very wrong with the game...
