So... we're the only ones that like it i take it? Can't say i care for what i saw on those forums though. One of the posters claims basically that pc gamers are more likely to go to college than console gamers... Sounds like elitism to me :/

^ But it's true, isn't it? (:P Only joking, of course.)

I was reading one user's complaints on Gamespot and apparently he didn't like it because the blood smears on the face were too graphic...

... so apparently he wasn't familiar with the "Dragon Age" environment.

I don`t get why everyone hates on the combat being totally different when the mechanics are the same. It plays exactly like Origins, just this time your character is faster to do it. I actually think this might make the game harder (which I think it needed to be) because everything will be more fast paced instead of what Origins had.

I don't get it either. Oh well.

I have a Bachelor's degree and I will be playing DA2 on xbox 360... anyways, I wonder whether the people playing the demo realize that it is an old build and many things have been disabled in the demo that will be available in the full game.

"Judging by the DA2 demo, it's Bioware who are scared of RPGs."



That's the first comment from the Eurogamer impressions website. That comment pretty much nailed what a lot of people think of the way Bioware took the game. I'm still going to get the Signature Edition, but I still feel that Bioware may have cut off a lot of what I liked from the first game.

Apparently line-list dialogue with an unspoken and expressionless protagonist and isometric top down strategic camera are the cornerstones of role-playing games. Since neither feature in DA2, DA2 is no longer an RPG. Who'd have thought?

I also want to say that I don't expect everyone to fall in love with the game, but I just don't understand why some think that all Bioware did was smash their faces on their keyboards the make this game. I've played some TERRIBLE games, and even the demo was so much better than most.

Bioware should never release eny demo in the future there is to many BG2 fanfreaks on the forums.
EDIT: At least not whitout it being a done version of the game.

It's usually a good idea to head into these things with the understanding that those who feel negatively tend to be more likely to post in forums and reply to articles about these sorts of things than those who were either positive or neutral. Does that mean that we don't take any of this into consideration? No, of course not - there are always valid and useful criticisms to take into consideration.

'Thanks for ruining RPGs', however, is rarely a valid or useful criticism.

Let me get this straight...Biowares old fans are somehow "freaks" for wanting a true spiritual successor to the greatest RPG of all time (besides Planescape: Torment). Did I get that right?

No, but Mac users are more affluent and better educated than PC users.

I haven't heard anyone ask for a BioWare to do a equal to the Quest for Glory series. However, I'd support it if they did so.

"True spiritual successor" is a pathetic mystifying word.

Many on other sites form misinformed claims out of fear and bandwagoning thereafter. Like claiming all enemies' animation sucks while we have only met humanoids and darkspawn. And they claim the enviroment is boring -- well a blighted landscape and a city isn't much a representaition of a whole game.

I agree, constructive criticism is good, but most of what I saw there was "B10W4R3 5UX LOL CONSOLE GAMERS RUINED GAMES! BAAW" When like above posters have said, DA2 is faster than Origins but plays nearly the same.

Can't forget the "hack'n'slash" combat as well, can we? A true RPG must not under any circumstances have flashy combat.
