FallenWarrior Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Don't know what the heck you are talking about. PC standard edition is $59.99 and the PC digital deluxe edition is $69.99 here in the US. Doesn't matter where you buy it....gamestop or right off Origin. http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/dragon-age-inquisition/114766 While I agree games have been getting more expensive.....so has a lot of other things. That's just life. PC standard edition = 369+ SEK ($47.58) Depends on where you get it from. PC deluxe edition = 699 SEK ($90.14) as download from Origin. So the US version is $30.15 cheaper. Quite a bit rip off if you would want the deluxe edition. Edit: Prices might be different in other countries as well
bjornk Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Origin's Euro based prices are always more expensive than the US prices. If you live in the Euro zone you have to pay more for the same game.US Prices: Dragon Age™: Inquisition $ 59.99Dragon Age™: Inquisition Digital Deluxe $ 69.99Euro Prices:Dragon Age™: Inquisition € 59.99 ($76)Dragon Age™: Inquisition Digital Deluxe € 69.99 ($89)
Killing Joke Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah editors like to do the conversion 1 $ = 1 € for their games prices, although we must keep in mind euro prices include taxes.
gregathit Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Makes you wonder if the increased cost is from tariffs imposed by the EU or what?
GrimReaper Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Steam does the same, though. Just don't buy it from Origin directly and you'll pay much less. The same often holds true for steam, I only buy from steam if there is a sale.
gregathit Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Agreed! I have bought the bulk of my games from steam sales and paid around $5 or so for each. Now THAT is what I call a reasonable price!
bjornk Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, you may find certain titles at a cheaper price on Steam. Unfortunately, not every title on Origin is available on Steam. Gamersgate (Swedish) can be a decent alternative though. For example, compare the pre-order prices for Far Cry 4: Far Cry 4 Limited Edition Origin : € 59,99 ($ 76) GG : $ 59.99 Steam (US) : $ 59.99 Steam (EUR) : € 59.99 ($ 76) Ultimately, it's the publisher who puts the price tag on a game though.

GrimReaper Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Or you can buy from a keystore. They have a shady feel around them, though - I don't like to buy in such stores but sometimes I feel it's necessary. I will probably buy Inquisition from a keystore because I am not willing to pay such a price for a game from a company who has disappointed me often enough. I don't really get why the prices are so high anyway. Especially when it's digitally distributed, the money it costs to get the product to the consumer is much lower that way than say if you need to ship retail versions. No DVDs you need to replicate, no packaging, no physical distribution (no storage and shipping costs), no manuals that need to be printed etc.
windpl Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah editors like to do the conversion 1 $ = 1 € for their games prices, although we must keep in mind euro prices include taxes. This is not excuse, localized version tend to be 30% cheaper than steam one and russian are like 80% cheaper. Blame greedy publishers. Always.

While I don't disagree that the publishers are greedy......they are not the only ones with sticky fingers! Politicians are the absolute worst when it comes to greed and corruption. Back on topic: 3 Weeks and 1 Day until Release!!! Woohooo!

Partially true, you can't compare Russians and (most) Europeans living standards.

Partially true, you can't compare Russians and Europeans living standards. Those who have internet aren't poor. So I can. And If publishers are making money there, plus there is a massive piracy in Russia I don't see reason for so high prices on west, only one come up - because they can.

Partially true, you can't compare Russians and Europeans living standards. Those who have internet aren't poor. So I can. I have been there. Not poor doesn't mean they earn same salaries. Even former eastern block states part of Europe is still under western countries living standards. For example, a polish video games dev won't earn as much as a french one.
...0... Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 EA can shove this game where the sun doesn't shine. DAI Standard.jpg DAI Deluxe.jpg I'm not interested in comments about higher income and stuff since people who make those comments live in a country with higher average income. I would never spent that much on PC game EVER. That are rediculous prices. But hey EA who only cares about money not the gamers. But fans no matter what will always defend it. Suddenly so many now say i was never fan of DA:O lol...thats sad:( P.S I must say i never visit german sites language you know but at least they show game as realy as a PC game and not stupid console version. Still EA Origin no go zone and prices well i can easly buy every month 10 games for 60 bucks no problem but because i have money i just spent it because i can. If game is rediculous prices i won't buy simple as that. I wait for budget version when it's 10 euros and i can play it on steam(never happen so i won't play it) same i do with UBISOFT and UPLAY no go zone. This all is my personal prefference and view on the subject, so please enjoy the game and IGNORE ME OK I go look if GOG.COM 100% DRM FREE PC GAMES avaible to play
winny257 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 here is another gameplay, but this time a PC version, HD quality. http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/10/25/50-minutes-of-dragon-age-inquisition-gameplay-show-a-new-area-equipment-and-much-more/
jxm Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 So the dragon Age Keep is online and open for everyone (with an Origin-Account of course) https://dragonagekeep.com Already had a look into it, and I have to say it's maybe a lot easier to do this than playing through both games again (especially when you still don't know how many references to the previous games are made at all, and how important they are). Sadly the import of custom DAO Heroes doesn't work (yet), so I consider it a wee bit pointless at the moment, though on the other hand your Warden is never referred to by first name anyway, so it wouldn't matter too much I guess. Anyway, I think it's quite a nice idea, and probably a good alternative to save-game-imports ... and even helps to refresh your memory a bit as you go through the story-tapestry

gregathit Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for the link jxm!!! The beta had been closed for so long I had quit checking it. I went through and set up my game world and watched the tapestry. Got me all fired up and ready to play some DA.
kionee Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I loved Origins, I even liked the story of DA:2, despite the repetitiveness of it. So excited for this one, and I hope it's good, I really really do. This year has been a bit of a letdown so far, i'm hoping it ends with a bang not a whimper.
Car Fax Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Yeah, I have to agree. 2014 has been full of mixed water in terms of video games. Lots of hyped up games that didn't end up being the "Grade AAA" quality we expected them to be. (Also, what constitutes a Triple A game? Really, that word has been getting tossed around for years now...) Are our standards too high, or are we just getting shafted by Devs/Publishers?
jxm Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah, I have to agree. 2014 has been full of mixed water in terms of video games. Lots of hyped up games that didn't end up being the "Grade AAA" quality we expected them to be. (Also, what constitutes a Triple A game? Really, that word has been getting tossed around for years now...) Are our standards too high, or are we just getting shafted by Devs/Publishers? I partly blame it not on the games, but on ... the Internet. Really, back in the days all the information one could get was in articles on game-mags every couple of moths so, maybe with some videos on the CD. Nowadays however every popular game gets dissected way ahead of the release. Every little bit of info gets analyzed to death, and people argue about how bad a game is before its even launched (or praise it without facts to support it...) And I think this way we players sometimes expect too much of a game and get dissapointed much more easily. I mean, we were hyped back then as well, without too much internet-fuss. But I think the I-net made this worse. Just a personal theroy, without scientific basis
LadyShade Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Official Dragon Age :Inquisition Release Dates: November 18th in the US and November 21st in Europe
Chaos63 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Christ, I'm gonna have to drudge through the disaster that is Dragon Age 2 to get my savefile before I can do this thing. Playing a qunari better be worth the trouble.
