Listen here, I ahve not seen thsoe reviews myself, i went to another forum and got ALL THE REVIEWS they ahd listed. Those two were not in there. If you notice its not jsut good scores, there is 7/10 and 77/100 there to.

But keep trolling, you are mighty good at it.

Even though the first game was on consoles and published by EA it's obvious we can blame consoles and EA for the second getting a lower score.

I was being sarcastic. Why didn't Hermits blame consoles or EA when the original got a 9.5?

"Game is amazing must be because it's on consoles!" You didn't hear any of that.

Gamespot has one of the better reviews so far, only part of the review I dont agree with Kevin on is the story.

Any score in the 8/10, 8.5/10 or 9/10 are about what I have experienced so far.

Might not be as awesome as Origins so far, but better then expected.

Glad I cancel my preorder after the demo and gave this game a full chance.

Expected the score :) My personal hype is still AAA, and the game so far has been good :) I'm not the one to talk cause I'm biased, but I'm loving it. It's just a shame that ME2 got a 9.5 when compared to DA2.

DA:O started as a PC exclusive, only later on Bioware decided to port it in consoles. That's why it played like ... in consoles and it felt right for PC.

RPGSite 8/10 - Dragon Age II is without a doubt a really good game with a few small but glaring flaws. (DAO 91/100)

Strategy Informer 8.5/10 (PS3) - There's good moments, there's bad moments, there's weird moments... (DAOPS3 9.3/10| DAO PC 9.2/10 | DAOX360 8.5/10)

Joystiq 4/5 -

here are three more. General, whats the exact website of those two other reivews? Links to site please so I can add them.

Good to see that Gamespot at least has some integrity left. :D

You don't have to, it's metacritics job. Why don't you finish the game before start a defensive campaign about it, you can't really judge the story from so short time.

I am not beign defensive at all, I actualyl think gamespots review is spot on, did you not see me mention that? 8/10, 8.5/10 or 9/10 seem pretty spot on to me from 4 hours with the game so far. Might change by the end of the game, but so far its better then expected after the demo.

Also I am takign a break and having some lunch for your information.

And yes you can tell the quality of a story 4 hours into it. Maybe not get the full picture, but so far the story, choices and especially the writing of hte dialogue is very good. Its faster paced which im not huge on and the lack of ZOOM out further sucks, but those are my only issues with the game so far. After lunch and a smoke I will get back to the game.

No surprises here. The BioWare that made Baldurs Gate 1-2 is dead. Dragon Age: Origins was it's swan song.

Just seen the review, so Origins was the better game, but DA2 is the better RPG ? :P

Pretty much what was expected.

I sure noticed gamspot been soo tough on game reviews this year. the only game to score very high this year was LBP 2. i wonder what they'll give MW3.. another 9?

Whats cool is they are starting to go back and review PC games they completely skipped over last year and actually reviewing smaller dev games more...

DA:O got a 9.5 so this is a major step back for the series. Pity.

• Multiple elements have been inexplicably simplified over the original

which ones have they reviewed?

So I just picked up the game today. Won't play till later, but what difficulty did the reviewer play at? I'm thinking of just skipping straight to hard for a challenge.

:lol: Thank you consoles.

fell a little short then what i expected, but i'll be the judge of it once i get it.

still very excited to play this game.

It's all ingame and on Highest + DX 11. You can tell by looking at their background of other people.

You know people called us haters and flamed us when we said this.

Vaasman

He said DA2 is easier than DA:O. The normal difficulty on DA:O was too easy making it a boring gameplay with little challenge. I say go for hard.

Joly Rover, new Magesty 2, magicka, zeit Squared, monday night combat. Couple others but was honestly surprised to see them giving back some of the respect to Pc gamers. Sadly, they have a long way to go but atleast seeing a couple non "mainstream" games get reviewed will keep things going.

Were those screenshots taken with or without that hi-res texture pack bioware released? They couldn't even give us our graphics on the disc! T_T

i was just goofing around in the xbl marketplace and noticed day one dlc. shame shame.
