So, I've been pretty excited about Dragon Age Inquisition recently. I think it looks pretty great and I've heard almost nothing but good things about it... well, except for some things about bugs.

Every system seems to have quite a number of bugs, glitches and problems with it, but the PS3 and Xbox360 versions seem to have by far the most. Frequent crashes/freezes, abnormally long loading/saving times, unreadable text, terrible framerate, along with all of the other bugs that plague the newer systems. And that's not to mention the relatively poor graphics! (I really don't mind about graphics, as long as I can experience the story and gameplay properly)

But with that being said, I still want to play the game, and there are some patches coming up which will hopefully fix at least some of these issues. The thing is, if I want to play it, I basically have to play it on PS3. I don't own a PS4/XBone, and while I do have a PC that could run it, that's largely reserved for work/study, so it's currently out of the question (I have a small laptop for my regular PC gaming, which can play most games up to the very newest pretty well).

So, I come to you now, to ask if anyone has tried or played the PS3 version of DA:I?
Is it still worth playing, despite its flaws? Have you even experienced many of these problems? Or have things been blown out of proportion?
I've heard a lot of problems (like crashes/framerate drops) are due to the game constantly trying to upload to the Keep, so can be fixed simply by turning off those online features.

What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

I have been playing it, even did a review of the first 20 hours of gameplay that I did.

It is a rather enjoyable and yet sometimes frustrating game as you try to find all the pieces to the puzzle. BTW, that statement is actually both figurative and literal as the crystal temple has you looking for shards all over Thadas.

Thanks man! I appreciate it! That was a good review, thanks for sharing it.
Did you experience many glitches/crashes at all?
In all the time I was playing I experienced only 1 freeze and one time a stutter but that might have been the system itself since I was not able to reproduce them. In all it is fairly stable.
In my experience it's a bit hit & miss. I have some friends that can't actually start the game because it instantly crashes, and others that can play without any problem.
The only problem I have had myself is that sometimes, when pressing escape to access the menu, it instantly closes. I haven't been able to reproduce it at will, it just happens sometimes and it can be a bit annoying, but with constant quicksaves I don't usually lose a lot of progress.

Edit: I can't read apparently. my experience is for PC only.
