Its amazing how many noobs are complaining bout the demo and relating it to the full game, u guys dont realize the demo is a tease and was made a while ago...the full game is gunna have all the updates and is gunna be 100x better than the demo. REMEMBER its JUST a demo, made to show u first hand what the game is gunna look like...stop ****ing bout the demo's problems cause they arent gunna fix them because its a DEMO. I LOVE the new comabt style btw and the graphics, at least on my comp, are AMAZING...DA series, STILL number one of all time!

I was hoping that "played it again" would be one of the options.

I didn't pre-order but the demo upset me so badly that I cancelled my non-preorder.

Oh snap!

[JamesX]

Except a demo is suppose to show the basic mechanics of the game and how it plays. Which is what some of the people are complaining about.

[Eclipse_9990]

Lol @ haters being the minority.

[MasterSamson88]

 I'm going to pre-order as soon as I get some time.

I could counter by saying that just because their is a majority, that doesn't mean that they are right.

If you care nothing for the established lore and feel of the DA series, than the demo is awesome. It's a bit bland/generic in a lot of ways but with more than enough polish to sell well to the "Ooooh shiny" crowd. It's not top-of-the-line graphics by any stretch of the imagination, but it's polished enough and the game play is fun (if shallow) enough to attract a positive following.

Conversely, if you care about the story, the setting, the characters, and the overall feel/ambiance from the First game, you should (not that many people WILL) take a long hard look at the demo and what it seems to be offering/indicating about DA2. I've been considerably mute about my criticisms of the demo, mostly because of the in-limbo status of my pre-order.

I will say this though, the demo did nothing to convince me that my pre-order is worth it. I may wind up keeping the pre-order. I may cancel it entirely. After playing the demo, I'm not sure I'm in Bioware's "target demographic" and that makes me uncomfortable going forward. Add on top of that the dubious nature of my ability to reasonably play the game (for both the PS3 and PC version [though I've had no problems yet, DA:O is near impossibly laggy with it's memory leak and EA/Bioware's refusal to test their products on multi-core systems, let alone allow and support multi-core machines, leaves me worried.*]), and you get my current position.

*- I'm not even kidding about this. Have an excerpt from a Support conversation I had this morning/last night with the tech person's name removed (so as to not get them in trouble).

[07:56:45 AM] [Tech]: EA games do not share all processor.
[07:56:54 AM] [Tech]: it run on only one processor.
[07:57:20 AM] [Tech] also, mostly system that have 8 processor have problem with every EA game
[07:57:32 AM] [Tech] which means its not tested

I should point out that I said I had a 6 core processor. I first typo'd 8 and corrected myself a moment later, but the tech kept using 8 core when talking about the problem. I have an AMD Phenom II X61000t Black. DA:O runs horribly after 15~120 minutes of play (varies in time frame, but not in consistency). If DA2 is going to be more of the same, than... >.> it might not be worth it.

Never put up an pre-order, and most likely i wont. Did not like the demo at all.

Undecided, still keeping my pre-order as of right now. The demo really didn't change my stance on things like the Dialogue wheel (I hate it) and I feel that the combat is too fast but I"m still somewhat interested in the story

I hate needless war, hunger, and poverty.....you hate the dialog wheel in DA2. Glad you have your priorities straight.

Really? I thought us trolls were already well aware of the fact that ninja gaiden and playing an interactive movie was more popular. Hmmm, we should advertise or something.

Yeah you'd make sence if this was a youtube comment section, not the bioware forums. Most people here are RPG fans as much as any elitist.

Obviously keeping my preorder.

[Huffy_Hufschmid]

i have a pentium dual CPU 1.8GHz comp with 4gb ram and Windows 7 64 bit and a 1gb nvidia geforce 430 graphics card and DA:O runs just fine with the graphics and texture on high settings under a 1440x900 resolution on full screen...Even tho my CPU speed is slow as hell, it still runs GREAT so idk what ur particualar problem is OpDDay...i also run Starcraft 2 and FalloutNV just as well...but maybe its just me.

Point taken.
OT: I haven't played the demo (and won't), but I did preorder several months ago.

Might be talking about the change in dark spawn, the change in currency values, the change in social fabric, the idea that you can be a bloodmage and still not be killed (unless you are a gray warden), etc. etc. etc.

There are a billion threads about these things.

[DJBare]

Pre-ordered, starting having doubts after the demo but will likely go through with the purchase, the demo was an old build so it get the benefit of doubt, if the full game turns out as average as the demo then it's likely I will try to find another developer.

[Black-Xero]

I was even more excited for the game and kept my pre-order.

In addition to what you pointed out, I'd say that people who dislike something are less likely to post about it. Only the truly dedicated of us care to actually voice opinions.
