It's a videogame.

Videogames copy and paste areas all the time.

Final Fantasy 14 style as well?

- poor level design with one-to-one copy-pasting of whole quest areas (do they mean, some areas are a carbon copy of each other???)



think ME1, if you know what I mean (different locations, same layout)

[MJF JD]

considering the majority of it takes place in kirkwall I would expect to visit some spots more than once...

And I ain't drawing any conclusions till I read at least 20 reviews from varied sources.

Are you holding TW2 to the same rigorous standard?

Of course. And by varied I mean the lowliest blog to major publications. It's about all I can do to get a decent idea on what a game is like before I buy. Naturally, I'm a bit more on the fence with DA2.

I probably has to do with Kirkwall as the central location.

Ander's first quest is in the Chantry. Isabela's is as well. Stuff like that.

@Shiroukai: Peter Thomas said that in one of his playthrough he heavily spent skills points in 4 trees, plus another 2 skills in another tree. It doesn't seem bad to me. Maybe the reviewer hadn't explored all the game, so he didn't max out his skills.

I can't wait for Eurogamer to again completely trash the game, and then rate it with an 80.

I surely hope they're exaggerating things, I tolerate many things in games that make people really irky but the one thing I don't like is recycled areas.
The pros are looking good though.

I don't think most people expected it to be better than Origins ... I sure as hell didn't ...

Considering how rushed development seemed to be and that we'd be spending almost the entire game in one location, neither did I.

That's a common occurence?

Wasn't there also a thread about some influential UK magazine which picked the game as it's Editors Choice, and since those are rare and >90 it says something as well. The main thing is that no one important gives it less than 85.

like origins?

[AlexXIV]

Aside from the negative points the rating is still in the 80s, which means I am going to buy. 90+ is great, 80+ is good, and since it is an RPG it's a deal. Bit of a letdown though that Bioware chose to rush DA2 instead of trying to beat DA:O but oh well. Guess it's all about business. Still a good game.

Still wouldn't be ME2 quality. Dragon Age plays second fiddle yet again.

Do reviews normally come out this early? How do they decide who to ship the game to? How does this process work? I'm just curious.

Print magazines usually get their games a little earlier i think so that the issue with the review can come out before the game comes out. Their next issue would be a month later (around March 20th), that would be after the game comes out, so they got their review out now.

It should be pretty much the same game as the finished version, maybe a few smaller bugs more here and there.

There's a difference between backtracking and recycling, I can cope with re-visiting the same areas multiple times for story reasons but I don't like when areas are copy-pasted like the side missions in ME1.

...DAO was epic? I mean, I loved it, favorite game ever...but it never felt epic.

Anyhow:

PC Gamer UK:

DAO: 94
DAII: 94

PC Games (Germany)

DAO: 91
DAII: 88

Gamestar:

DAO: 92
DAII: 87

also since when is an 87 and 88 bad? would it really make that much of a difference if it was a 90?

Yes I think they get it when it goes gold or even before. The test is supposed to be in the magazine when the games hits the shelves and I think for exessive testing it takes at elast 2-3 weeks.

Do these Germans have any credibility? What made them so special that they got to review the game before all the legitimate review sites?

[Catsith]

87% is a great score from Gamestar. I really thought they were going to trash the game. For reference, they gave Two Worlds 2 an 85%, Fallout New Vegas an 88%, DA:O Awakening an 86%, Mass Effect 2 an 88%, DA:O 92%....
