Way to make me look like a dick. Wait for the forums to pounce on the user, then enter in and be the knight in shining armor. It's like the devs know better than us or something. :bandit:


Um you generally are a dick. Its ok we're used to it. :whistle:

Again, a direct feed to game play footage is needed, but you can still get a good idea from the footage I've seen. It's fast, exaggerated (as intended) and very much like Japanese hack n' slash games.

In all fairness, if it was like the Japanese hack n slash games then Hawke vs qunari would be done like this

(the actual fight starts around 2:00 mark... and can't say i'd actually mind this level of visuals in DA)

Did bioware release the gameplay video that people have seen? or was it leaked?

I try not to be too much of a troll, but some gameplay video on DA2's site would be nice.

Dynasty Warriors is an amazing series of games developed by Koei depicting the struggles of various chinese warlords who built empires during and after the Han Dynasty. It is based off the novel Romance of the Three Kindoms by Luo Guanzhong.



While it was at one point my favourite series to play, it has gotten worse over the years. My personal favourite was 4 and after that one, it all went down hill because the hack n slash, and what not became tooooo unrealistic and over exaggerated which is probably why the "haters" are referencing it.

As far as I know crying doesn't make it get done faster. If violins and rain clouds do, I don't know. And no there is no official thingy out. And I wouldn't look at the leaked ones if I were you.

What the hell is Dynasty Warriors, anyway? I keep hearing about it from the haters.

From what I gather, Dynasty Warriors is exactly the sort of game I would hate.

As such, I've never heard of it.

I wonder why these people who ostensibly hate it have.

You can always open youtube and run search for "dynasty warriors gameplay" to see what it's like.

The 'puppy dog eyes' thing  always works on me when my neices want something. I figured it was worth a shot.

Yeah, I'm thinking that maybe the reason the only gameplay video may be a leaked one is that Bioware doesn't want people to see it and think that it's the finished product when it may still be a work in progress.
It's probably best to only judge the game on videos Bioware release, not leaked ones.

Yeah, but I wanted a subjective evaluation from a DA player. Assuming there are any people who've played both; Sylvius has a good point.

i've played 4 and how is it not unrealistic?, i'm pretty sure a barely dressed woman can kill thousands of soldiers with a boomarang in that game

all 6 games plus their expansions are all unrealistic, all I meant was that as I stated it became too unrealistic after 4 what with them going into fury mode and catching fire.

I just watched the trailer to part 6 and had a good laugh Posted Image

Not my kind of game I don't think.

Ahh okay; i thought it's about the supposed visual similarity, and for that a gameplay video could be enough since we don't have anything more than that for DA2, either Posted Image

Yes, let's stay on topic. Maybe the Devs can explain the whole darkspawn = "I'll get you, He-Man, and your Battlecat, too!" look.

yea i was wondering that too. I thought the darkspawn looked perfectly fine the way they were before. unless this is some type of other darkspawn kinda like how humans look different, then i see no reason to change them, nor do I see any logical reason for the change. But hey, i dont play games for how my enemies look so its not a big deal to me.

Probably too late to redo all darkspawn model anyway.

Can someone post a picture of the new darkspawn?

I can't remember what they looks like.

Is it just me, or does the entire design look far too much like some utterly cliche and stylized anime crap you would see from some mainstream japanese game developers?


To answer your question, 'yes, it's probably just you.'

However, to be fair, your analytical, predictive skills, which appear to be based on assumptive guesswork, could be better put to use in the arena of politics. You do seem to have a flair for flinging. Unless of course, you were providing a preemptive, but constructive criticism in the event you don't actually ever purchase and play the game.

My intent is not to mindlessly insult Bioware, because they are definitely my most favourite of all video-game developers... BUT this looks severly different from anything from the DA 2 I was expecting...


That's good that you clarified yourself. Another expectancy, amazing. (You do know DA2 is schedule for release next March?) But, given that DA2 has been in development for some time, you probably didn't inform BioWare early enough for them to take your 'expectancy' into consideration. However, it's possible that BioWare are writing down 'expectancies' for DA3, so cheer up.

Perhaps you could wait for the game to be completed like the rest of us and then tell us how well or how poorly your expectancies were met.
