oh look fight like a spartan again ~rolls eyes~.



Tbh I have yet to be swayed either direction by the news coming out of this and other previews im still on my orginal.. "Oh Dear" reaction. I have seen nothing thats convinced em this is a disaster n the making but ive seen nothing that convinces me it will be the epic sequel id hoped for. And if one more moron says fight likea spartan i think ill scream. Sodding 300

I really do think that sales pitch of "think like a general, fight like a spartan (paraphrasing)" is cheesy as hell still. If someone tried to sell me a product with that phrase I think I would have to dunk my head in a bucket of ice water to start fresh before the rest of the presentation. It makes no sense in the context of DA's fantasy world and I don't care if it's a desperate marketing ploy to remind people of how "cool" someone thought the movie 300 was. Just lame...I wish they would stop using that. With my luck it will be plastered all over the back of DA 2's packaging.

This isn't REALLY DA2 related, I'd just like Gaming sites to not make up their own facts about the games they review. I see it in IGN, Kotaku, all these other starting sites. Just because you're not the L.A. Times does not mean that you don't have to be journalists.

Yes, obviously all that’s true, but it doesn’t change the fact that Dragon Age 2 still looks as brown and uninvitingly bleak as the inside of a public toilet.

Ironically, no sooner had we thought that the game looked a bit poo than Bioware’s David Silverman started talking about Dragon Age 2’s new unifying art style.

Not to bash the gentleman who wrote the article - they can have their points - but comparing Dragon Age 2 with a public toilet and poo was extremely distasteful.

*start of sarcasm*Regarding Spartans, yes because of course, before 300 there was no such thing as Spartans... *eyes roll and end of sarcasm* don't get me wrong, I know why people immediately think of 300 when Spartans are mentioned, but some could easily equate it to Halo *shudders* or you know... the stories of the real Spartans. I actually like the opening part of the line anyway 'Think like a General', considering people have been so worried about the tactics side of DAO going bye bye, I have to ask, if that were the case, then they surely wouldn't have had that line in the sales pitch would they?

Kotaku gets scoops, but they can't write. They're not even unified in their biases. It's like Fox News but with no one thing to agree to hate on.

Not really. 300 was a mess, you just wouldn't care for the Spartans because they are like cardboard cut-outs. Not a single moment was there a sense of danger for these Spartans. The way the story is told might have worked in the comics medium but certainly not in the film. I prefer The 13th Warrior more, now those Vikings are kick-ass esp. Buliwyf.

i´m not worried about this article. it gives no new info and everything written we know already and we already got commends from the folk of bioware that the grafic site of the game is still in work and the most notable thinks will be done near the end of the development phase for da 2

and we are used to the grafic style and that it is no halo or crysis and this is ok imo still i hope they improve it a little some screens made me worried and some places in da:o were just horrible(for example Redcliff entry area )

usefull comments about the story, companions and so on will only be given in reviews next year. no way to judge this right now

same for the fights. the only thing the community and magazines got to see were early fights and one of varrics "oh they were all so brave heros" moments. so no way to say how it plays in later levels and devellops

did this reviewer even play by himself? he only mentions a presentation...

Hah! let's see what the dev have to say this time.

[Esbatty]

Sounds like they didn't enjoy DAO to begin with. Plus its only apreview and not an actual review of the actual game so... meh. I'll stick with Joystick Division for a more indepth review tyvm.

More blood & gore the better & DA:O was defintely one of the
most Astonishing Scenery wise at High Graphic Settings on PC. Perhaps
Bioware should've made the romance scenes at least R rated in DA:O.

More blood and gore? Origins was already pushing it to comical limits why in God's name do we need more blood and gore? And no, Origins did not have one of the "most astonishing scenery". It was very bland, very dull, very lifeless.

And what the hell does the sex scene have to do anything with the article?

Very Bland & Very Dull indeed.

Sry to double post but I had to respond to this. All of those screenshots even with the last one having the added spell animation, still have a bland look to them. No matter the awesomeness of the architecture and design, the colors were still very pastel or just bland in general. My view is on the landscape and surrounding world, not just on the party members and the enemies. 

So yes Very bland & Dull indeed. 

So what medieval kingdom had bright & colourful scenery & architecture? Perhaps DA:O should've been set in Time Sqaure New York with all the colourful advertising?

This isn't set in a medieval kingdom. This is a fantasy kingdom in a fantasy world. Unless you are trying to say mages and darkspawn existed in the dark ages. Fantasy doesn't follow guidelines on how to look. 

I play video games to get away from the dull "bland" colors of life.

But it uses words like toilet and poo! It's street! It relates to the children!

Apparently these games take place in the Badlands



After a rare rainy day no less



I can't wait for the generation of engines that can make drab not look drab so to speak.



I mean if I go to a boring ****ing forest it still would have quite a bit of color in it.



Its almost like the benchmarks for graphics are water and grass

actually i wish games had more color in them, one of the reasons i'm liking the game enslaved it's because the environments are filled with color, lush vegetation, lots  of shades of red, blue, green, you name it.

[Skellimancer]

UGH. i thought the graphics were not finalized.



Does this mean the modding community has to fix the graphics as always?

Think like a general, fight like a spartan



Make love, not war.

Run in to battles naked.

I'd rather fight like a Viking



TOO BAD VIKING ISN'T THE IN THING RIGHT NOW AS NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT THAT WOULD BE A TAD MORE APPROPRIATE< ALL CAPITALS. NEXT WE BE FIGHTING LIKE MONGOLS IN A SPINOFF WHERE WE RIDE AROUND ON MOUNTS EYAH

I'd rather think like a Vault Dweller & fight like an Enclave Hell Trooper. All in bold.
