More free advertising for Duke :D To clarify my previous MSG: "I think some people need to pull out the dictionary and find out what 'sexist' actually means. Until then, GTFO." I'm referring to people like FOX, who are apparently illiterate or have poor logic and reasoning skills. Is there an example of duke belittling women? Hitting them? Being derogatorily for no reason? Being discriminative against women? Being sexually violent to women? I don't think so. All I see is a foul mouthed dude beating up aliens to save the world. Yes there are women in this game, Yes they are all probably sexy looking/strippers etc. But that doesn't make duke sexist does it? In the logic of FOX and respective idiots, is a porn movie sexist? is Las vegas sexist? Is any movie with some form of graphic sex considered sexist? NO. In all cases. Sexism isn't an observation of the world around you. Sexism is being BIASED against a gender, regardless. Sorry, that's not the case here is it? The fact of naked chicks/blokes/whatever is another discussion completely, and to be fair, who cares. The game is rated M, so deal with it.

People rating the game highly tend to focus on the quick combat and action-esq style of play. Also they tend to say they couldn't get into DA:O combat, or games like BG2. Now, on the other side you have people who love RPG games. Depth, and characters. Party and equipment management and choice. Face it, these things are what people expect HIGHLY from Bioware... and it is totally lacking in this game. To those happy to play an action game, they see no difference. Great for them. This is no insult to them. I like action games too. But not when I expected an rpg, especially a sequal. I expected an involving RPG with tactical combat and depth in story and party members... This is sub par. Additionally, I don't understand how people can justfy the bait and switch? The fans feel conned guys. You may think DA2 is good, but the others feel CONNED. Do you understand? How would you feel if you pre ordered a sequal to a game you liked and got something else for it? There is no link to DA:O at all. If it were a different IP then there would be no problem. But its not is it? Lastly, to the comments about graphics.... LOL this game looks appauling. Even gamespot has a screenshot comparison of all the settings, anything above DX9 looks exactly the same. The main problem is the quality of DESIGN. Most of the game is bland, poorly textured and repetative. I can't take anyones review serviously if you tell me this game has good graphics.
