Having read a lot of the posts, it seems that everytime some dislikes something, they're perceived to be moaning, complaing and b****ing.
Well, if they dislike something, then of course it's going to be a negative comment! Why can't people just post that they 'dislike' something without being attacked as miserable little whiners?
Has something to do with:
- The sweeping statements- 'everybody that likes this is 12 years old'
- The arguements to tradition - 'DA2 is not DA:O, I am offended and
terrified by change'
- Prejudging content that NO ONE knows about - 'this game has a terrible story and it's not strategic! (oh, i'm playing on normal and haven't scratched the surface of the story and characters...)
- The utter lack of any constructive criticism - 'DA:2 sucks! combat is bad! warggarblbgaglgrrr!'
Disliking the game is perfectly fine. I've read perfectly valid complaints. What I, and others, don't like is dismissive, unhelpful, and juvenile critiques.
Here's an example of decent constructive criticism:
"The huge jump distance makes it childish, although I like the fast movement because I like getting to places quicker xD
The combat could be improved (like the fact your sword just hits air), but I do like the fact your characters attacks feel more animated now, rather than just swinging randomely at enemies... it feels like it has style to it.
I like the fact they voice acted it, but something just doesn't seem right about it, I don't really know how to put it, it's like they've tried to turn this into Mass Effect. I like the idea of your character being voice acted, but I just didn't feel it, or at least so far, was only a Demo and there weren't a great deal of scenes, so it may get better, but that's what I felt from the demo."
He lists specific changes to the combat that he would like to see, suggests that the movement, while good, could use some animation tweaks, and states,
politely, that he didn't like how the voice acting was handled. That is good criticism.
Retour en haut
