As a person who's never played the first (and due to bad quality on the Xbox port probably never will) and for that matter, never really enjoyed a Bioware game in general. I'd have to say that I'm extremely happy with how the demo turned out. I'm really looking forward to using the Sir Isaac of Clarke armor.

5/5

8 of 10 based on demo. I assume the full-fledged release will have fully developed interpersonal interactions, too.

Graphics (on PC) are average, at best, honestly. Even two years old games feature better eye candy.

Animations are laughable. My female Hawke walks swinging her arms around and bobbing her head like a zombie.

Being lectured by my "mother" 5 minutes in the game because the game forcibly left my "brother" die is a pathetic scenario twist.

Also, I can't make two steps without being interrupted by a cutscene, which is rather annoying.

Finally, we're back to tunnel crawling in a rather barren, shallow and boring environment.

Lothering, which was praised as a village of peasants in a lush countryside (according to the map and DA lore), suddenly has nothing to envy to the aridity of the Moon.

As expected, this is a huge let down.

I would rate it 2/5 at best. Any higher rate is just a scam.

considering its a demo and i was expecting it to feel different from Origins



5/5



i didn't get my hopes too high, but it wasn't disappointing in any fashion except maybe a lag here and there but that is my hardware and not BioWare.

It really will depend on how coherent the plot is. The combat is an improvement over the original, even if it can be a little bit hectic and confusing at times. Graphically, I'll need to wait and see how it performs in DX11 and on very high settings. I'm not a fan of the whole comic book look, and I'm not sure why they went in that art direction.



The in medias res plot of the demo didn't really grab me; and the best thing about Dragon Age is the setting/story. I'll reserve judgement until I play the final product; but at least the combat is an improvement.

Once I finally got the damned thing working, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of emotion in some of the scenes. I felt like there was too much combat, though ... it got a bit tedious. I would still ... based solely on the demo ... give if a 4 out of 5. I reserve the right to raise that .5 in either direction.

Why is all the writing horrible? Did Bioware contribute anything to this game besides a label?

meh out of 5.

Is it just me, or do the boss battles remind you of old FF games? You know, where the boss had a gazillion HP and it took forever to take them down?

You know what this game plays like? Heavenly Sword. For any of you that may have played that game.

Remember when people complained on how easy boss fights were in DA:O :innocent:

Yeah, nevermind. It only took forever because I first played as a Rogue. Went with a mage second time through, and I annihilated the bosses.

Rogues still suck.

According to the poll, we like giving out half marks!

The writing wasn't Oscar-worthy but horrible? They were commenting on how to flee the country... How 'good' can it be?

1.8/5



I came in with low expectations and had them met with the same low expectations (granted I did the console version first, I'll give the PC demo a try later.). Combat is just a giant action mash fest "Mash X until ability comes off of cool down, use ability, mash X". Everything is so clustered together and screwey that I can't tell half of what's going on anymore. Most of the great spells from the Mage trees in Dragon Age: Origins are gone. Wanting to take a more controlling path with freezes, ground paralyzations and stuff seemed to be few and far between, everything being geared more towards blasting your enemies to smitherines, which is fine for some people, but I like options.



Also, locking out character customization and inventories? Really Bioware? Look, I already know you've pretty much jewed us on races for this time around, but at least give usa chance to mess around with appearances for gods sake.



And another thing, the dialogue wheel is completely unecessary, telling me the exact effect that my comment is going to have is not what I expect when coming from the great dialogue options from Dragon Age: Origins where it had a deeper line of dialogue options the farther down you went.



Look, the action elements and dialogue worked well for Mass Effect, but don't shove it in my CRPG's, it just doesn't work, the game didn't really have a lot of charm at all. A few of the characters made me smirk a bit, but I felt that the characters were a little empty for me. Fully voiced dialogue is cool, but again, back to the dialogue wheel, ruins the experience in the long run just to have an excuse to shove as much of Mass Effect 2 into Dragon Age as you can hoping to ride on your previous success.



Me? I'm not gonna buy it, it's been my stance since I've heard of the sequel and, although I was hopeful the demo would have changed my mind, it hasn't. I'll just wait for the next expansion for Dragon Age: Origins. And Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Like I said before, this is the kiddie pool version of Dragon Age, and well, I'll stick with the adults, thanks.



P.S. Yes I will try the PC demo, regardless it will probably not change my mind.

The writing really didn't seem to be on par with Mass Effect.  With that said, it's still pretty decent and is still light years ahead of other RPG's such as Gothic or the Witcher.

Based on the demo alone, 3/5. But I think the full game will get 4/5 or 5/5 from a lot of people myself included. The full game will provide more difficult battles where tactics matter, not to mention exploring, quests, interactions, etc. The demo was just some easy combat so didn't show off the game very much.



Speaking of combat it takes some getting used to but I like it, especially playing as a rogue. I'll definitely be playing the full game as a dual wielding rogue.

Yeah I find that part quite lame to be honest! How his mindless charge followed by death was considered... ugh.. sacrifice to save them? Especially after hero and his allies spent 2 minutes fighting the damn thing and were alive and well!  Hm.. sort of reminds me that thing with toronto cop who got totalled by snow plower. People are so quick to find meaning in totally dumb and meaningless "sacrifice". Oh well but I digress. We're talking about games after all

[Nissa_Red]

The Witcher didn't have a dialog wheel.

That alone makes it stand out as a game with a better dialog than DA2.

DA's dialogs were probably better than The Witcher's, but I still enjoyed both games very much.

Anyway, [/offtopic].

With the major exception of DX11 being disabled I was pleased. I played the demo from three different laptops. A high end Toshiba Qosmio, and a less impressive Toshiba L675 (2010 AMD Processor) and a HP dm1z netbook (AMD Fusion Zacate). All three ran well, with acceptable framerates. even the L675 which I was impressed with because it runs on an IGP, and the dm1z because it was below minimum processor specs.

4/5

[Madonna]

I persoanlly loved it, I give it a 5/5. 

[Luvinn]

It exceeded what i came to expect out of a demo. It may be close to the same engine as DA:O, but it looked awesome. So, according to the demo i'm going to have to give it:



5/5

[spernus]

Can't make a real judgement of the full game with this demo.It seems that the full game will have meaningfull choices and consequences,but it must be played to properly judge that.

Combat is definitively improved,since origins was rather brainless.It was supposed to be tactical,but the game was broke and some overpowered spells just lowered the challenge or destroyed the act of planning.It it's not really tactical,it better be fun and DA2 will easily be more fun to play as you level up and gain plenty of abilities.

I think the game will perform and score well,but mostly with the console audience as the PC sales will definitively take a hit compared to origins.

 My breakdown is for the PC version (Played as MAGE ):

Graphics (its on medium) 4.6/5: The art style may not be everyones cup of tea but for me it looks fantastic especially for being on medium settings and d11x turned off (Which as most of you know will provide that extra UMPH in graphics). Textures are a little bland in some places but overall everything looks great and is easy on the eyes.
Gameplay 4.7/5: The combat is fast and fluid and provides (at least for me) a sense of impact. Also moving between characters is simple and enjoyable. 
Sound (5/5): As per biowares standard they deliver and excellent score of music and the overall voice acting is also top notch.
Presentation 5/5: Menus are easy to navigate and pleasing to use. Nowhere did I find myself wondering what I had to click or which menu I had to open in order to get to what I wanted.


OVERALL: 4.8/5 (96%)

Bioware, at least by what the demo unvails, has yet again produced a great product and I cannot wait to play the full version come march 8th.
