Dragon Age: Inquisition: worth a buy at $7 just to play through on the easiest difficulty?

If you can I'd wait for the GOTY edition that goes on sale for like $10 since you get all the DLC including a very hefty epilogue chapter and some combat rebalances.

As someone with major reservations about Inquisition, it's definitely worth it for that price. With the right mindset, you might even love it.

It's on sale right now as well ($8 with Plus).

one thing to understand about inquisition is people will tell you that you dont have to do the mmo style bear rear end quests, but unless they changed the game in a patch thats completely untrue. the thing is that people who like the game tend to forget whatever goofy war table poo poo they were doing and enjoying and assume you can just play through the story straight, but that's not true. so the game is pretty contingent on whether or not you get some enjoyment out of doing at least some of those activities.

There are generally enough quests where you can skip the lame sounding or uninteresting ones. That's what I did anyway.

Before you use war table points to unlock a new area, make sure that area is a level you can actually do.

When i finally got enough bullshit points from doing bullshit, I excitedly unlocked a new area. I got there and all the enemies were red skulls and I couldn't do anything. Looked it up on the internet, you're supposed to unlock some other area first. Uninstalled the game.

Your gf will approve of both your newfound sense of moral justice and your ability to juggle the desires of dozens of potential waifus.


P5 might actually improve the chances that your gf will soon allow you to become a sexhaver.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I actually liked the war table for it's choose-your-own-adventure style antics to see all the various outcomes different advisors give you. But then I actually liked the cast of Inquisition (bar Sera) so if you don't like Bioware characters then you'll probably hate it, but it you do you'll enjoy it?? :shrug: Especially for $8.

Like I would never tell someone to play Persona because Japanese high school is the least appealing setting I can imagine but apparently it's great if that's your wheelhouse?

If you're okay with over-ear design, I'm quite happy with my "Ear Force Recon" 50P turtle beaches. They are unpowered, which is a convenience for me, but will be a con for audiophiles.

They're like 40 bucks.

Also the 50, 50p, and 50x are all identical, the 50p is "PlayStation blue" and the 50x is "xbox green". Well the trim is. So if you prefer green to blue, I don't think it matters.

I started playing Life is Strange: Before the Storm today and I'm really digging it a lot more than I thought I would. The soundtrack is great too, fits the theme and atmosphere so well. My only complaint are the controls when walking around.

So with Wipeout Omega are you just expected to not be able to complete some time trials until you unlock certain ships? I can't for the life of me get 2:01 in Metro Park; I can't get under 41 seconds a lap no matter what I do or ships I use, hitting every boost and not ramming into a wall. The fastest that gets me in the fastest ship I have, the Feisar Speed, is 2:04.

Yeah you basically need to unlock new ships if you want all elite passes in 2048. The Feisar Prototype is definitely the best ship for Time Trial (except in A+, since the stats are bugged the AG-S Agility is faster than all other ships in that speed class, don't know if that's been patched) It's doable with the Feisar Speed but you need to use the first shortcut of the track for the extra barrel roll and it sucks.

I really think (reasonably good) earphones + mic are the way to go, since they're more efficient and can get more volume out of the PS4 controller's weak output.

I use KZ ZST's myself because I love those cheap little bastards.

Thanks, that shortcut is an rear end in a top hat and the one thing I'm not using. I was smashing my head against it for an hour lol I'll just do it later.
