It's almost shameful how many times I've watched that. Please release an official gameplay trailer before year's end! With my excitement for DA2, I almost dread the inevitable moment when news on ME3 starts breaking and I have to wait on that too.

Oh boy! Gigantic 6 foot swords! Way to be like every Asian RPG on the market, Bioware.

you do know that specific sword model was also in DA: origins?

And not all asian rpgs have giant swords, nor are they exclusive to asian rpgs and western games are also guilty of it, even before this...

Read the chart. It sold 961,290 week one.

But EA announced it sold 2 million in the first week.

I'd rather believe EA over that chart.

You'd rather believe the company who has something to gain from fudging their figures than an objecitve source?

Either way, EA reported it SHIPPED 2 million copies, not SOLD.  There's a difference.

Obviously considering how swiftly ME2's prices dropped those 2 million shipped copies weren't hopping off the shelves.

Actually the 2 million figure for ME2 was shipped not sold. It was later stated it was only 1.6 million sold (same as ME). Conversely, even before Awakenings had been released, Origins had shipped 3.2 million.

Edit: darn out posted again!

Legendary Studio's Newest Title Wins over 30 Industry Awards, Ships Over 3 Million Units Becoming BioWare's Sixth Consecutive Blockbuster Franchise.

From the article:

"announced today that Dragon Age™: Origins has sold-in over 3.2 million* units worldwide"

Definition of sell-in: "manufacturers' efforts to persuade retailers to distribute and stock their products"

vs if they had used the term  "sell through": "In publishing, sell-through refers to a percentage of units shipped which are actually sold."

*not to take away from Origins success, I'm absolutely happy that it sold well but the 3.2 figure is the equivalent of ME2's 2 million one week figure.

To compare, how long was DA:O out when that number came in?

This is rapidly becoming the biggest cop-out since "it was all a dream".

But it's true, though. None of these so-called "leaked" videos continue into the real "world", it's all stopped after the exaggerated scenes. It's almost like these people are trying to make people nerdrage.

I think the problem is though that everyone thats disappointed in seeing the "exaggerated" gameplay have it regurgitated back to them that the "real" gameplay is vastly different. Maybe it is in the mechanics, but it'll look mostly the same, which will  still leave people disappointed if they're thinking the exaggerated gameplay is night and day different than the "real" stuff.

No one dev side has said it's vastly different. It's different, but not vastly. Some may not love the new direction; we're very aware of that. But there are some that do.

Well...that's just depressing. Sigh. I'm really starting to wish the story would be in a companion book so I could have the pleasure of the writing, but skip the game. That's really sad....

Does it really matter? DA:O has Sold Through more copies. Hard to debate fact.

Shipped =! sold 

EA Shipped out 2 million units that doesn't mean 2 million units were sold to gamers. Just that retail shops got 2 million copies of the game.

It does matter if the number is recent or not. If it came out when say... the game came out, I'd yield but if it's the number that came out say... two months ago then there's a different viewpoint.

Dammit, now I wish I'd had time to go to PAX.

Me too! I only got Gaider and Priestly to sign my DAO case; still room for a lot more. Maybe next year you guys'll have a DA2 expansion to demo?

I, for one, am pretty happy with how it looks. The combat in Origins was pretty tedious at times so This is definitly an improvement. As long as the story is good and the gameplay fun, count me in.

more power to ya:D

you might wanna equip a shield though as people who like the new direction are normally bashed on. good luck;)

[Bobad]

Gargh!, this is completely intolerable, I really liked the combat in Origins and now I hear that what we will see in Dragon Age II will be more akin to Dynasty.  Not Impressed.

[Maverick827]

A little slower would be nice, but I'm not going to cry about it on the forums and pretend like that will do anything helpful at all.

Mike, I love the new direction. More for mage combat (unmodded Origins mage combat sucked), but I prefer the more interactive style of melee combat as well.

Dynasty is a gross exaggeration. Fable would be closer if you would pick anything. Edit: Even then, it is very different from Fable, just saying that it is closer to Fable than Dynasty, but whatever.

Dynasty Warriors, for those who haven't seen or played it: Remember the opening scenes to the Fellowship of the Ring movie? It showed Sauron come out with a huge mace and he swung it once, sending multiple soldiers flying and humans and elves were dying by the score? Now imagine your character is Sauron, and you are wiping out entire troops in a matter of moments. That is Dynasty Warriors, where you were truly an army of one.

So how many copies of ME2 have been sold since the 1.6M in the first week? How much did DAO sell in the first week?
