This is very, very silly.

[Dubya75]

I never used the Blood Dragon armor in Origins, so I doubt I'll miss this...definitely not going to pay for another game to get it.

I know this is EA's attempt to push sales for Dead Space 2, but they didn't think it through. This is just silly.

[ClassyUnicorn]

Is this how people reacted on the ME board when it was announced you had to buy Origins to get an armour for that game?

To me the trailer just felt like some parody, even though it's supposed to be serious. It's that ridiculous.

Where do you get the impression that "it's supposed to be serious"? I really don't get it, and in all honesty I cannot see how anybody would look at that trailer in a serious way. The tone, the scene, the camera and the comment have nothing "serious" about them. Maybe I can see it more because it has been my work in the past, I don't know, but really for me it's obvious that's a joke (with naturally the "serious" bonus of having a set of armor, but that's secondary to the formal intent).

If there's a thing that that trailer is not is "serious", as the other item trailer of DS2.

I guess it is more ridicolous the fact that you want to look a thing seriously when it obviously isn't. So, in fact, what you felt was the right thing, not the logical assumption, as it is many times the case.

No it wasn't, largely because they're both Bioware games and most people bought both anyway.

[Marionetten]

Looks absolutely awful. Good as I had no intention of purchasing Dead Space 2.

OMG people, it's really so difficult to understand that trailer? It is a joke, a pun. It is intentional the "silliness" of the armor, its being out of place with the setting of the game. It is done voluntarily to look "silly". This is the pun and the joke. It's one of the standard of sarcams, taking a thing out of context to make it look silly and hilarious,

What is so difficult to understand?

I really don't get why you people insist on judging on a serious base an obvious joke. Next time I would take "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and judge it as a tragedy and determine the silliness of an ass in that context, if I were you.

Makes the same sense.

Epic fail BioWare. Atleast ME2 was your game.

Anybody who will get Dead Space 2 for just the armor will be awarded the Darwin Award of Conscious Customers.

Already happening with those that are looking at the trailer as a tragedy.

"Oh my loved IQ, where have you gone? In what empy space of my mind are you relegated? A slave for the tragedy of a comical depart".

Wow. That's totally hilarious. I'm laughing myself to death over this ingenious cross-promotion now. How do they come up with this ****? Comedy gold indeed. Game of the Year confirmed!

[Dubya75]

Its a shame really, Bioware could have spent the time and resources on giving us a video that's actually got something to do with DA2...like a demo of the character creator for example, but instead we get this...WHATEVER!

It's just a joke. It is not meant to make you ****** in your pant laughing, for this is much better tragedy and reality. Sarcasm is not made for this.

However problems arises when you take sarcasm as a serious thing, and you make a fool of yourself.

Although the only connection between the two games is the publisher, I think it's a nice little extra for people who were planning on getting both anyway.



It's certainly not something I'd get worked up about.

Yeah because it takes so long to create a piece of armour that was already in Dead Space.

yeah...uhm....different engines, different armor design, making a simple character creator demo video would have arguably been simpler.



now back on topic, I like how these "add ons" are called "rewards" to the fans.

so, uhm, I love Bioware, but in no way I am a BDF card holder........so this begs the question, what kind of reward is it? a reward to the fans who spend another 60$ on a totally unrelated game? If so it's not a reward at all.....hell Dead Space is not even developed by Bioware. I mean I would understand the whole blood dragon armor in ME2/DAO....I do, same studio, same genere, same fanbase and Bioware raises awareness for their new project. But this?

unless of course it's because Gaider wrote the bulk of DS2 in which case I'd actually be ok with it 

[bigbade]

@ above



EA.

[MIB-2]

Wow, this is bad... I don't mind the armor part, I was going to pick up Dead Space 2 anyway, but this is not a beginning of something that can end well - what's next, Barbie Horse Adventures mount?



The thing that pisses me off the most about this, though is the fact that I won't get to use the armor - I play Bioware games exclusively on PC, and was planning to buy DS2 on PS3 for extraction

I bought a crap ton of Dr. Pepper when Mass Effect 2 came out just so I could get enough codes to purchase all the neat in-game items. Mind you, I hate Dr. Pepper, but it was a $6 investment at most.
An entire game, though, is just asking too much. I don't fault EA or Bioware for throwing this fun little extra in, it just makes me a bit sad in the pants that I can't participate because I'm too chicken to play Dead Space.

I know how you feel. 

[sfcrafael]

if I get Dead Space 2 on STEAM, will I still get the armour code for DA2?



or is it retail only?

[Hardin4188]

At least we aren't forced to have it. I would cringe if I saw this in any of my playthroughs. It doesn't belong in Dragon Age at all.

[thegoldfinch]

... I don't understand the backlash? It doesn't look mind-blowing but I think it looks good, and I want it out of a compulsion to have every DLC I get my grubby little fingers on. I guess marketing knows that!

The only thing I want to know is if the code is universal for all platforms. My boyfriend will be getting Dead Space 2 for the Xbox but doesn't play Dragon Age nearly as much as I do, so I plan on snitching it from him. However, I plan on playing DA2 on my PC. Will the code still work?

I pre-ordered DS2 a long time ago but no way I'm going to use this. This is just ridiculous lol.

may i have your code?

[187 Lifeless]

I actually think the armor looks cool. I would totally buy that as DLC but I have zero intrest in Dead Space 2. I still have the first one unfinished on my shelf. This goes against my OCD to get every bit of pre order DLC I can.
