In the leaked gameplay video I'm watching now, there's a what looks like a dodge roll at the start of the demo.

Of course.  But I always "go for it" in video games.  Why play it safe when the worst possible consequence of failure is reloading?

I have to throw my cents in: I kind of hate DA:O

Nothing against the game, well I guess so. The story never registered as pivotal, never gave me a reason to really CARE about any characters (where as mass effect does) hence while DA2 announcment and news came into being i've jumped into the hype. The story sounds a lot better with focusing on a central main character, gives is more.. cohession? centered? whatever. Not to mention that combat in DAO was boring as hell. I'm a console player. I don't have the money to invest in an expensive computer and I prefer analogue stick movement over anything else: I have more control. Keys would always lead me into killing myself in games.

In DAO it was press A to attack, and spam abilities when they recharged. Waiting all the while for a thing to die. It bored me to death, but I did beat the game. DA2 combat looks.. well FUN. Entertaining. So, yeah, I can't wait.

Never gave you reason to care about the characters!? Combat boring as hell? 

Oh wait...you're a console gamer. Carry on. 

lovely.....I am a console gamer too you know?

THANKS YOU! I play on console is it my damn fall that its more comfortable? I've played PC games and doing so makes me feel like I've got carpel tunnel going on. It hurts my fingers and the controls are not as responsive. I grew up on Nintendo so sue me. (and now I hate nintendo for their huge gaps between games that are actually worth getting).

The story of games is why I play mostly, hence why I gave DAO a chance. That and I don't like entering a sequel without playing the previous. I don't care if it takes place in the same time frame of sorts. Its a pet peve of mine even if others go into a sequel without touching the first. Where the story begins is something everyone should know first. YOu don't start wastching a movie in the middle, nor a book and therefore you don't start a series in the middle or at the end.

DAO had me waiting for something cool to happen. ANd I got pissed when Ali..wow can't even remember the dudes whole first name. WHen the straight dude lol, took my epic dragon kills (him being the one do acrobats around its neck is NOT ALOUD! ME because I am the main character). That and I also hated when the character had no voice of their own. I couldn't care about the world of DA because my character didn't play a role in it. They said things via text, no dialogue. In this day in age with gaming, with DEMAND dialogue in a story driven game, not text. At least I do.

Trolling is obvious. 
Don't worry, you'll definitely play games that you like in the future. Something like Fable or Final Fantasy 14. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie]

For your information  I
don't like Fable (never appealed to me) and Final Fantasy 14 is a mmo, a
genre that I detest. Pay to Play = go to hell in my book. If I buy a
game I'm going to be able to play it when I want, how I want. So your comment is moot.

I do the same thing. I take risks in games because its more entertaining. Someone earlier complained the ME2 was too repetative, sure it was a times but I enjoyed the hell out of it, especially this 4th play as a Vanguard as I would mix up out to use my abilities with my companions. Would bring up the wheel and tacticaly have allies use an area warp on a group of husks for instance then SHOCKWAVE them away. Just one example. Would take risks and charge into a Harbinger on Insanity with a shotgun in hand. Sometimes I'd survive and feel proud of doing so, other times die. Risks make it more fun. I always play on insanity in ME2 now, even though I got the achievement long ago.

Sounds like someone doesn't really like Dragon Age so why are they hanging aound the DA 2 forums at all?

I liked DA, the history and the story, while not altogether original in my opinion was intringuing. The characters themselves never pulled me in to actually caring about it. I beat the game, so something had to have entertained me enough to do so, just not enough to do it more than once. This is a DA2 thread, and from what I've seen DA2 is looking like the game DAO should have been in my book and something that will keep me entertained enough to play it multiple types. Perhaps DAO was too classic an RPG style for me. I've never been a fan of invisible dice behind the scenes determining the damage I do or whether I hit an opponent at all, even if physically I did hit them. I feel that I might as well be playing a D&D with a group of people if such chance was behind effectiveness, rather than quick thinking and skill.

I have the opposite reaction.  Mass Effect is boring as rocks.  And not even the fun kind of rocks you find on the beach.

You're fighting in a squad..?

If that were universally true, Fallout and Oblivion would not sell like they do.  It's a bit ridiculous to say the PC plays no role in the world when you go on to save the world.

These are just your preferences, I understand.

And consoles are not expensive these days? You don't need a top tier gaming computer to play DA, far from it.

Even so, it seems to me that if I were to purchase a computer specificaly for gaming then it would shortly be obsolete with the games. I can't buy one that will work for one game specificaly, thats like buying a console based soley on one title. Waste of money.

That and as I've said earlier, console is just more familiar to me. Less hand cramping and more responsive. TO ME. That doesn't mean its everyones opinion or that it "should" be their opinion. Its mine. Analogue sticks allow for more maneuverability and control.

Lets end this Console vs. PC tirade anyways.

Damn Straight. Your every day Best Buy bargain bin laptops can probably run DAO on max with out any problems these days and make consoles look outdated.

[Leonia]

The argument that computers are too expensive is sort of old-fashioned. I've been using the same gaming rig for the last 3 years just fine. Just a matter of making sure you leave room for upgrades later (and no I haven't upgraded in those 3 yeears and haaven't need to). Also, we're so off-topic now. Can we go back to talking about class equality in DA 2 or something?

[Ryzaki]

The whole "I don't like the first game but I'll wait for the sequel in hopes that it'll be totally different."  baffles me as much as the people who completely loathed ME playing ME2.

And also : Gaming PCs are not overly expensive.

What about people who loved ME1 when it came out but loved ME2 even more? Is there a club I can join?

And building one yourself or having someone build one for you?  Even more ridiculously cheap.

Nothing wrong with that. It's just I find people who completely hate the first one and play the second to be confusing.

Hey, being a grognard is why I like ME2. It's not perfect, but it's a major step back towards the goodness of Traveller, which had minimal inventory and no experience system at all.

(Kidding -- somewhat)

[LoveAsThouWilt]

I love ME2 and ME1. No more, no less. Can't judge them against each other since its the same story continuing. ME2 improved the combat, gave new more usefull abilities, made different classes FEEL different. I miss the mako. Sure I don't flip over in the Hammerhead, but at least with the Mako I could chart untraveled worlds and enjoy the view. The Hammerhead... I never die, its too easy. I rush through the Hammerhead dlc stuff on insanity. ,

I must admit that the mission structure of ME2 was too.. simple. Too small. Recruit, recruit, mandatory mission, recruit, loyalty mission, IFF point of no return, collector base. It was essentially doing the same thing over and over again. Would have liked more over arching missions. We got what.. 2? 3? it feels like.
