To top it off the real game wont be out for another month after the beta release. This beta might be a bad idea. :0


It won't be out for two and a half weeks after the demo.

yay i don't feel like an idiot for guaranteeing the demo anymore Image IPB

Speaking of which... where's that guy who swore there was no way there would ever be a demo in a million years because it was totally impossible and then tried to dig himself out of that hole by saying that if there was it would be console-exclusive...:lol:
I miss him.

Folks, if you feel someone is trolling, let a moderator know and don't respond. We'll deal with the situation appropriately.

Mysterious Guy probably has to speak to other counterparts. Like legal and EA marketing.

Cool a beta yea........... how can someone make a beta for something as epic as DA2. I mean after beating the beta i might slit my throat out of the sheer fact that it wasnt the entire game. To top it off the real game wont be out for another month after the beta release. This beta might be a bad idea. :0


Err, not exactly :P

The demo is being released to consumers on February the 23rd. This is 15 days before the North American release date,l 18 from the rest of the world (don't hold me to my word, I rashly assume the rest of the world has the same release date as Europe.)

Someone probably :ph34r:'d this by now though.

Demo confirmation leaked... At least it is kinda something, better than Legends Beta reannouncement.


True true.

But still, I feel being let down because there wasnt at least a new video or something. I dunno....I for one couldn't care less about a facebook game. 


It is highly likely that they are about to dropping more info now that we are only 1 month from launch. At least one dev has already said that they are going to realse alot of stuff in Feb.

Guys, lets go back a few days. None of us were even thinking about a Dragon Age 2 demo. Now, we're getting angered over the fact there is going to be one? I do agree, the way this whole thing was handled wasn't probably the best, but look at the bright side: WE'RE GETTING A DEMO. And who knows, someone might leak the demo on the 11th, it doesn't matter. We're getting a demo.

The problem is, unless you can IP ban, it wont fix this issue. Multiple trolling accounts are being created Image IPB

Two weeks too long man. Well for me at least. I am more than likely going to run to the colorado mountains and freeze myself until the real deal comes out.:P

Hopefully with Stan and John being open about their inability to say anything on this subject, things will cool down around here.

Hopefully that question is resolved by someone who one of the devs emailed, if not then we will just have to wait and see.

A lot of people are disappointed in the way marketing was handled




People don't like it and it does seem like somebody let the hamsters out of the cage at a bad time, but I would call what has happened a success. I mean in a single day they have 43k views on this one single topic. That is a lot of attention given and a lot of showing of a lot of interested fans(to the point of some showing a sense of "disgust").



Apple pulls crap like this all the time(same with Sony), not saying EA/Bioware did this on purpose, where they "accidentally" leak info that ends up stirring up the crowed and getting a lot of attention(and it works very well).



I mean sure, you have the righteous indignation that comes with it, but when you get this much added attention... well I can't see how that could be a bad thing in context.

Now I guess all we can do is wait for all of this "BRRRAAOOOWOWAH I HATE YOU BIOWARE" to slowly fade into "D'aaaw, I love you BioWare. =3"


Nah

The anger needs to be directed at the correct people...

The very same people who call themselves 'marketing' and don't seem to have a clue

Really John??? Apropriately??? don't you mean you will impotently continue to ban which solves nothing because it's a doddle to create a new account on this "social network"?

Indeed, they are getting crafty. Thanks for dealing with it though.

Which I personally am grateful for, solely because I can now (instead of sitting in an uncomfortable chair) use my iPod while lying in bed to browse forums every so often.

No one knows.

Exact quote from Gamestop Demo Website...

"This early demo access is being granted to Gamestop employees only. Any
form of distribution, recording, posting of any elements of the Dragon
Age 2 demo and any of its files is strictly prohibited until February
23, 2011 when the demo is made available to all consumers."

This is why the Steam Signature Edition couldn't be done in time. EA was too busy negotiating this BRILLIANT deal with Gamestop.



I'd love to see some numbers of who actually plays the GS employee version, haha. I'm betting a lot get sold or handed out. Do Gamestop employees even play games?
