Dragon Age 2 GS Review 8/10

1.0 higher than my expectations, I'll get it down the line for like $20 or something.

How times have changed :lol::(

Dear console gamers, thank you. *facepalm*blue_hazy_basic

Shouldn't the blame be on Bioware?

It the week of flops.:P Anyway still a good score but the I don't have much interests in Dragon Age and the demo didn't change my mind.

I'd say it met the hype, even though I'd thought it get an 8.5. Does that still count? :P

Looking forward to starting the game up this weekend. I'm lucky I have off for Spring Break all of next week!

DRAGON flopAGE 2

*checks hype thread* AAA has one more vote than AA. Thus I shall call this a flop! FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPAce6301

I agree with the score...its a great game,but it is not as good as Origins. A lot of the strategy that Origins required isn't really necessary in DA2. I think I've only had to pause the game a couple of times now and even that wasn't really needed. The story doesn't feel as epic as Origin's did either, despite the unoriginality of Origin's story.

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]What is your point? That justified criticism is bad?

Why should the game benefit PC gamers? They've been the most vocal in criticizing the franchise.Bigboi500

That sucks, I am really disappointed in Bioware -_-

I really can't see how someone could play DA:O then play DA2 and feel as if the simplification of the certain aspects of the game didn't make it worse. Dragon Age 2 is a fun game,but its clearly a sequel that doesn't match up the same level as its predecessor.

A lot of the characters are pretty lame compared to the Origin ones as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, my brother played some Dragon Age 1 on 360, wasn't it like so simplified as a RPG game that you couldn't possibly simplify it even further?Salt_The_Fries

Your brother was playing the game in the wrong platform.

Bioware games are getting more dumbed down with each passing year.

on top of this diaster, if ToR flops in subscriptions (which it looks like it will), bioware might really be done for.

im not playing that pile of ****

Just watched the video review still seems worth getting. Not total trash as people seem to be making it out to be, still getting it

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]

That it's just business as usual, and plenty of console DA fans will enjoy the game despite PC gamers complaining about it. Don't like, don't buy it.

McStrongfast

The very first line in the review is "Dragon Age II is an enjoyable and complex role playing game..." So all those saying the game is bad are quite wrong. I guess haters gotta hate.

Screw this game, they simplified the combat and inventory and focused more on story telling? Way to ruin a good game bioware.

I think ill go play a truly great RPG like the witcher that has an even more simplified combat system and inventory and even more focus on story telling.... oh wait....:o

But seriously, with all the witcher love that goes around this forum... you think people wouldnt immediately write off a game that changes its format to be more like the witcher. I think folks are just too eager to say "lulz consoles ruined it"

I have never understod this, the witcher was a bore fest to me, I tried to play it many times, I am sure i will enjoy DA2 more then the witcher, if I dont then DA2 is total crap.

I never got too far in the witcher, and the bad voice acting kinda put me off. I was more trying to point out a glaring inconsistency. Im also expecting to like DA2 alot more than the witcher.

So flop then?

Here's the sequence of events following today:

- Despite DA:O being an incredible success on the PC; DA2 sells rather poorly given the changes made to the game

- Console owners eat up the newly designed DA2, and it sells double what the original sold on consoles

- Seeing the low sales on PC Bioware blames piracy while completely disregarding their previous multiplatinum sellers on the PC

- Bioware hands a nail to all PC gamers, and tells them to start hammering it into the PC's coffin

[QUOTE="Lethalhazard"]Casuals are going to eat it up. My friend already bought the game and DLC, and hes saying its better than the original because "the combat is faster and its easer." So yeah. It'll sell more than the first and it'll probably increase trends towards this type of game (half-assed, DLC ridden, pre-order bonus x 20 games).LookAnDrolL

Its a shame people think Bioware is selling out.

I'm gonna laugh when DA2 sells a few million, then all the haters are still gonna hate even after the success of DA2.

I'm a big bioware fan.

This is a flop. Calling it anything other than a flop is a joke. Their games have higher standards than 8.0. This is just silly.
