Dragon Age Inquisition (first thoughts)

After seeing the Inquisitor trailer I must admit that I´m very excited about this game, I was already excited before but now after seeing the trailer I´m almost counting the days until it becomes available. As they mentioned in the trailer that will be on the 7th of October 2014. Which isn´t that far from now, I mean I´ve waited much longer on games and this doesn´t feel like it´s that long!


In the trailer you see a human looking character, which kind of gives me the idea that you´ll have to play as a human like you did in Dragon Age 2. I don´t see this as a problem but I´ve heard that a lot of people prefer to play as a different race, for example as a dwarf or elf. The combat system looks fast as it did in Dragon Age 2, I´m happy about that because I really loved the fight system in Dragon Age 2! The graphics look good and I´m actually suprised that Dragon Age Inquisition will also be available on the ´old´ generation consoles (Playstation 3 and Xbox 360), but that´s good news for everyone that´s holding on to their consoles.


I saw some familiar faces, for example I saw Varric from Dragon Age 2 and Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins. Another character that appeared in the trailer is the Seeker from Dragon Age 2, this is the woman that´s talking with Varric during the game and how you figure out what happened. So Dragon Age 2 will play a big role on this game, something terrible has happened and it opened a rift that your character and companions will have to close. By some miracle your character survived an explosion and the Seeker sees you as a threat in that moment. But if that means you´ll have to fight her or if she joins you as a companion is unclear at this moment. But I did see at the ending of the trailer that you have a big group of character around you, which means you´ll probably get quite a lot of companions or people that side with you.


Somehow I do have the feeling that you´re playing as a new character, so you probably won´t play as the grey warden from Dragon Age: Origins or Hawke from Dragon Age 2. Looking at your armor you´re probably from the same group as the Seeker, but what your role is and who you are exactly is unknown so far to me. So eventhough this is a clear sequel to Dragon Age 2 I don´t think you´ll play as Hawke or if you´ll encounter Hawke, which makes me wonder why some of the companions of Hawke would follow you. Anyway it looks interesting and I´m definately excited about Dragon Age Inquisition!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
