Dragon Age: Origins

I heard that a magazine gave it 94% and potentially RPG of the decade which is a massive statement to make... this was a PC mag though and I'm a PS3 owner so couldn't really read into it that much.

Was it designed for consoles initially? Lot's of hype surrounding it all though this seems to becoming more and more the norm for any game due for release or even those not out for like another 2 or 3 years :S

I thought the combat etc looked very oblivion like when you zoom out to 3rd person and as it is made by Bioware I reckon they'll do a good job of making sure the console version is playable. Just wish some european publisher would get hold of Demon's Soul's that seems to be the number 1 RPG around!
 
I'll have a look at the videos when I get home but am hopinh this is good as I've been following it for a long time.

As has been mentioned, Bioware normally come good, so hope the controls aren't an issue!
 
As much as I adore my 360, this is definately a game for the PC. I must commend Bioware for doing a decent job for the consoles (looking at Giant Bomb's videos) however.
 
not impressed by the graphics of this, quite bland and it does seem a bit chaotic (thought i saw the dreaded slowdown during combat). Gameplay seems to be an amalgamation of Baldurs and NWN.. so no bad thing at all :) ... also could have just been the music (pipes) but a flavour of the Witcher in there?

Haven't seen anything innovative yet. But its a day one purchase coz its its a bioware rpg :)
 
Interesting to see GameSpot reviewer saying the PS3 is the better console version with higher textures and such things.

Strange as I thought the 360 version was better than the PS3 version when I played it at the expo...

Either way the PC version looked a lot better than either of them.

Of the 10-15 mins I played it probably 8-12 of them was dialogue and proceeded to bore the pants off of me :-/ Maybe a PC game but there's no way I would want to sit reading text to this extent playing on my console :(
 
Personally playing it on the PC but glad to see there making the extra effort in giving everyone intrested the best experience instead of being shoehorned into a 1 size fits all layout.

Edit - glad to see it getting good reviews across all the platforms aswell.
