I like dumb stuff like this, so I was intrigued by the shitty sounding plot, but you said the animation isn't much either, soooo...yeah I still wanna find out more, something wrong with me.
Dragon Age
Dragon Age is a series of fantasy medieval role-playing games by BioWare. BioWare considers it a spiritual successor to their Baldur's Gate RPG gaming series. It is furthered upon through the creation of comics, books and other forms of media. Truly this is the age of dragons.
Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have ever heard of this if you hadn't wrote this, but okay, thanks. Now I know not to look for it.

Better or worst than Tekken: Blood Vengeance?Worse.
Blood Vengeance at least knows that it's corny and it has no qualms with being completely ridiculous.
And not to mention that Blood Vengeance's fight scenes were bearable.
The quality of Dawn of the Seeker doesn't really surprise me, given that this seems to have been born out of the same mentality that drove EA to finance animated features based on Dead Space and Dante's Inferno (blech).
So, I have to ask. Has there ever been any sort of cross promotion of this sort that has ever been more than kinda ok? Apparently the first few Mass Effect novels were alright or whatever, but considering the amount of dumb comic, anime, and book type things that have been made solely for the purpose of increasing awareness about another product, it seems like they must work, to some extent.
@ArbitraryWater: Square's Compilation of FFVII was, depending on who you ask. Personally, I disliked every part of it that I exposed myself to, which was most of it, but there's no doubt in my mind that every part of the Compilation made mad skrilla. Polymorphic content!
Oh wait, the Compilation wasn't meant to be cross-promotional. It was a multimedia cash-in made years after the fact, so maybe it doesn't apply.

I enjoyed Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. Advent Children was kind of a mess with crazy fight scenes, but Advent Children Complete actually did a lot to improve the narrative. I was actually pretty curious about Before Crisis, but of course that was never released here.

@ArbitraryWater: I guess they do work, since companies continue to make them. There have got to be better ways to raise product awareness, though.
They sell, but the real question is, are any of these obvious tie-in/cash-in movies/comics/etc. actually worth the money and of a quality that exceeds "Meh, it was okay"?
Holy shit, I didn't even know this thing existed. I enjoyed the first Dragon age because it reminded me of Baldur's Gate. I didn't find the story all that interesting and the gameplay departure for Dragon Age 2 gave me no reason to buy it.
I wonder if or when Dragon Age 3 comes out that any one will still care for the franchises. By the sounds of the quality for this movie, EA sure as hell doesn't.
