Text Size Issues
I have a standard definition TV, and I've never really had a problem with the text of games being so small. Dragon's Dogma was even tolerable, but Dragon Age Inquisition is just so blurry and small t...

I feel for people having these issues, but in all honesty, if you still have a standard definition TV then its really time you went out and updated your TV's. You can't expect these companies to continue supporting SD indefinitely. Its been almost 7 years since gaming went High definition. How much longer do people need to update thier TV's? HDTV's have gotten so cheap....well, its just borderline insane not having upgraded at this point. You can buy a smaller HDTV set for less than a couple hundred bucks. If you can afford 60 dollar games at launch, its time to upgrade to an HDTV. Again, you just can't expect these companies to support standard definition indefinitely.

Did you not read the posts where people were saying they were using HDTVs and having the same problems or...?
Players have already noted that playing on an HDTV, and SDTV, has shown no improvement. This is a lack of UI change options for the text size, not size or depth of the pixels in a tv. I have also read, on these forums, that PC users are finding the text pretty small too. Which is a little surprising given that PC users are generally a foot away from the monitors, while console players are generally in the 6 ft range. Well given the small text, majority of us are in the 1-3 ft range.
Indeed. That and the fact that the reason many have purchased last-gen versions is because they do not have the means to upgrade their TV AND get the new consoles. That's my situation. I could get an Xbox One today, but I'd also need to upgrade my TV.
I COULD do that, but that's a lot of dang money, man.
Man, the text size is so small. I have to got to the options menu and zoom in the screen as far as it can go to make it readable and I still have to be a few feet from my tv in order to read it.
Well...I can't agree only because you don't know how long some people had to save up for a game. Also just because gaming has gone HD am I expected to throw away a perfectly working tv? You don't know how people's pockets are.

If they release a game on a console 10 years old then it's only reasonable that they take in consideration people that still have SD TVs. Makes sense to me.- About as useful as Microsoft kicking themselves in the nads by going net-only as a decision for the Xbox(whatever) when at least 1/3 of america doesn't have internet (I talking about the ruralist here(is Alaska, middle of nowhere Montana, etc.). In this case bigger aint better. The devs should have had the text proportionate to screen size and readable at 4' minimum for console users. Most people I know, don't have a spare 5 grand to by S.O.T.A computer systems or consoles every year.
I do have high def t.v and still can't read the text.
