Maria Caliban Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 The console version of Dragon Age has been delayed 14 days. There are some people on the Bioboard claming that this means an utter loss of momentum and sales. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Purkake Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) The console version of Dragon Age has been delayed 14 days. There are some people on the Bioboard claming that this means an utter loss of momentum and sales. Ign says: "Dragon Age Origins will be released on November 3rd in North America and November 6th in Europe for Xbox 360 and PC. The Playstation 3 version will follow later in November," the BioWare rep said. The PC and 360 versions are still coming out together only 2 weeks later. Only the PS3 version is getting the shaft. It's not like anyone will actually play it on the PS3, so I don't see how that would make them lose anything. Edited August 8, 2009 by Purkake
Maria Caliban Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I guess they didn't want to compete with Alpha Protocol. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Monte Carlo Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Given that the console version was originally slated for an indefinite post-release date and the emphasis was on the PC, that delay will hardly cause the sky to fall in. Of all my doubts about this title, success in shifting units on all platforms ain't one of them.
Niten_Ryu Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 So after delaying PC release for months, they still fail to get all 3 versions out at the same time. PC version should be very bug free right about now if QA team have worked all this time. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Bio's post-release support is pretty good, so I'll expect the first beta patch by the end of the third week in November, maybe we should run a book on it? Cheers MC

What support problems do I supposedly have? There has been all of one patch (or have they released the second patch?) so far and the first one apparently created nearly as many problems as it fixed, with the biggest issue being the black textures on certain planets that could cause you to drive into invisible lava and die. If you haven't been having issues then there is no problem at all. If you do have issues, then Bioware hasn't done much of anything (visibly) to fix those issues and you've been stuck with a broken game for months. It's been awhile since I've checked out the MEPC forums, but that's what I recall it being like. Edited August 9, 2009 by Deraldin
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 There has been all of one patch... That's really just DLC... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Bos_hybrid Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) ? I own MEPC. What support problems do I supposedly have? What Deraldin said. Which is surprising because Bio is usually good with Q&A and after release patching. Maybe it has something to do with Demiurge, I don't know, but the reported problems where enough to put me off getting the steam PC version. Edited August 9, 2009 by Bos_hybrid
Majek Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 There has been all of one patch... That's really just DLC... Talking about DLCs, weren't there more promised? 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Magnum Opus Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 There has been all of one patch (or have they released the second patch?) so far and the first one apparently created nearly as many problems as it fixed, with the biggest issue being the black textures on certain planets that could cause you to drive into invisible lava and die. I had that issue with the black textures. I looked on the forums after I installed the patch, and the Biowarians told me how to fix it. Turns out their biggest issue was resolved by deleting a few files from a folder. Bioware's post-release support is still pretty good, IMO. As good as it needs to be, at any rate. If there's another patch in the works, the need for it is evidently not all that pressing. I don't doubt that there are people screaming bloody murder, but... have checked out a couple of fora, and much of the gnashing-of-teeth seems to be regarding the DLC certain people seem to feel they're "owed". Typical internet wankery, in other words. 'course, I never had all that many issues with MEPC in the first place. Maybe I just got extremely lucky with it (though such a thing would be abnormally atypical; if a game's got a flaw in it somewhere, I'll usually end up having to scrape it off my shoe, somehow).
Guest Slinky Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Demiurge did the PC port and they are the ones who are working on the second patch, so I think it's unfair to blame Bioware. I wouldn't be suprised if EA gave the master command to incorporate the patch in the upcoming second DLC and that is most likely released closer to ME2's release date to enchant ME2's sales.
Monte Carlo Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I presume they mean Mass Effect (Personal Computer) as opposed to MEXBox or MEPS3 (etc).
Purkake Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 What the hell is an MEPC? I simply give up. Mass Effect (on the) PC.
RPGmasterBoo Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Oh, so that's what this whole discussion was about. Edited August 9, 2009 by RPGmasterBoo Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Aristes Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah, apparently you need to take a few classes in leetspeak to understand what folks say in a thread about Dragon Age.
Maria Caliban Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 That MEPC was brought up in regards to BioWare patching their games, and the conversation was about BioWare supporting/not-supporting MEPC, I don't think the identiy of MEPC is that hard to figure out. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Aristes Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) I just needed to 'figure out' the acronym. UR so GR8! EDIT: I figured I should probably put in a smiley so folks realized I wasn't trying to pick a fight over the acronym. Edited August 9, 2009 by Aristes
