Guys, You Might Wanna Sit Down: Dragon Age 3 Exists

All the DA2 haters need to piss off.

If it's like DA and not DA2 I might give a shit, maybe.

Bioware's writers have the minds of prepubescent teens.

If 3 crosses DA1 and DA2 characters together it will still be the most epic fantasy ride in gaming history.

Really interested to see what they do with it after the criticism, no interest at all (currently) in actually playing this after seeing what they did with 2.

Make DA3 a game that even those not crazy for DA can love and you've got yourself a deal.

I actually didn't mind the second one. But if they could stop reusing locations over and over again that'd be swell.

All the DA2 haters need to piss off.

Ugh...

Well that was pretty obvious. I enjoyed the DA2, faults and all. Hope they can strike a better balance with the formula this time. I liked the ideas they had for changing up DA, but some of it looked liked it could have used a little more time to work on.

Ugh...

Let me guess, this time you'll tap TWO buttons for the majority of the game?!

I LOVED Origins but 2 was just so average. It had some good parts but when you compare it to something like The Witcher 2 it looks like a joke.

Agreed .... it was a fine game and I'm eager to play the third when it comes out , whenever that is , can be a month , a  year or whatever. Screw you haters.

How were 2's sales? After its lukewarm reception (well, among the fanbase), I thought this may have been a while off.

DA 2 was awesome, just take your time on this one Bioware, I want to play ME3 first.

So,if I could name my character Hudson Hawke in DAII,I'd hope that means I can name the protagonist for the next installment Chris Gaines...

Awesome, I can't wait to play this 10 months from now, WOO!

HEY MAYBE YOU GUYS ENJOYED RIFLING THROUGH CHESTS FILLED WITH MOTHEATEN TROUSERS AND GETTING SENT TO DARKTOWN FOR THE NINTEENTH TIME AND HAVING ANDERS CLIMBING ON YOUR BALLSACK LIKE IT WAS A FUCKING BEANBAG CHAIR BUT THIS AINT JUST SOME RANDOM BACKLASH. DA2 WAS A SERIOUS FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT FOR A LOT OF FANS OF DAO MYSELF INCLUDED

I sat down like you suggested, read the news, stood up, and walked away knowing there is a very good chance this game might break my heart the same way the second did. Maybe I should just lower my expectations.

Am I the only one who thinks the biggest piece of news here is that the Senior Director of Creative Development for Dragon Age is name Alistair?

Hm I don't think it's a bad game, but I just don't like a single aspect of the game they changed to make it more accessible. Sorry. :)

If they're already hiring for  DA3, then it smells like another rush job to me.  I mean DA2 came out  just 2 months ago? After DA2's mediocrity, I'm concerned for ME3 now (even though it was thankfully delayed). I'll be approaching any Bioware releases with caution now after my disappointment with DA2. Ugh, just seeing that picture of Hawke makes me want to punch him in the face.

Hope it got space mining this time. Only thing DA2 lacked, really...

I'm hopeful. DA2 wasn't that bad. They just need to take their time.

Dragon Age 2 was good. I'm looking forward to a third one.

Congratz on picking the worst possible pic.

Bioware seems to have taken the criticisms of DA2 to heart. At least, I hope they have. They got pretty thoroughly trashed on the reused dungeons and softening of the RPG elements. I expect the next game will be somewhere in-between Dragon Age: Origins and DA2. Whether they'll actually meet my expectations, though, is up in the air. I hope they realize that many of us would hold off making a decision about buying the game until they reassure us that some of these gameplay issues have been fixed.

I will play another Dragon Age game.

I could hit more Dragon Age!

I actually enjoyed my time with the 2nd one, wasn't the greatest game I've ever played and it surely had its flaws but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Why don't they spend a good TWO YEARS making an awesome game, instead of rushing another shit parade out just so they can make this an annual series?  Bioware is fucking up.  

I enjoyed DA 2 quite a bit while I played it but I'm definitely very, very, very happy that The Witcher 2 is a fantastic RPG that fills in the hole in my heart where my disapointment for DA 2 basically being stuck between RPG and third-person action game, it was an RPAG (Role-playing action game).

I wanted a pure RPG experience and found myself feeling disapointed, so in this way, Bioware please give DA 3 two and a half years of production time, minumum. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

release date August 2011

Good! I'm sure they'll learn a lesson or two.

Now lets hope they actually spend time on the game.

I hope they play the witcher 2 and see what a real RPG looks like, DA2 was a joke.

Think i'll wait this time.

They better bring the Mako back.

Take your time guys. I know you have a good one in you,

New engine please....

Get rid of Hawke. Get rid of Kirkwall. Just take us to a different country with the same overworld map. And for the love of god give console owners an auto attack.

I would be more excited but I have never played a dragon age game and I have no intention in doing so.

It's the Jesus of Kirkwall.

I'm always up for more Bioware-style RPGs. Just hoping they're finally gonna start building more 'organic' and less 'modular' feeling worlds.

Really hope EA starts building all games with Frostbite 2 and keeps on investing in R&D into their own engine - and for better and more efficient procedural production of top quality assets.

Maybe they'll really be able to churn out a Dragon Age each year and still deliver an appropriate quantitiy and quality of assets.

Guess this means there is no DA2 expansion? If so than yeah, DA2 was very disappointing. Here is hoping that they take more time to polish the game, add more lore, and make for a grander adventure. I don't want DA3 to come out until 2014.
