I expected DAI to be a commercial failure upon playing the game, it's so bland and lifeless, there's nothing in it for both casual consoletards and as hardcore oldschoolers. Yet, somehow, all the aggressive marketing and armies of paid shills singing praises to DAI before and after its release must have done the impossible, and made this game successful enough to warrant at least an MMO, if not both MMO and "proper" sequel. It's a corporate Frankenshtein, sewn together from the corpses of Skyrim and AssCreed, existing solely because of a marketing life-support system. Probably not as popular as EA would have liked, but certainly not warranting the much-needed shutdown of Biohazard.
I will eat my shorts if the next DA installment won't be an MMO. I will fucking eat them with ketchup, mayo, and a side of salty tears.
