We got the two books. Now all the things I myself want to use will be when the game is released. Sweet.

Anybody else worried that DA2 isn't gonna be that good?
I mean they're trying to get everybody to pre-order with these special editions, DLC and add-ons.
I'm worried that once the game is released and the feedback is negative, people will stop buying so they're trying to get the sales in pre-orders. I really hope i'm wrong though

Every vibe in my bones is telling me the exact same thing.

Also know that every "big" movie that has been advertized to death ends up a flop?
I just hope they don't shoot a blank with this one..

That's kind of an overgeneralization. It also depends on your idea of a flop. I think Avatar was piece of **** but it was advertized to death and is one of the most watched movies of all time, thus making it not a flop in that sense. I mean, some movies do over saturate the market to make up for not being good (like Transformers), but I think that with DA2, most people are just looking for something to justify their own fears/concerns. For example, Mass Effect 2 had a huge tie in program, what with the preorders, the dlc, and the Dr Pepper items. The same can be said for Halo 2 and 3 (and a large number of other games). You might not have liked those games (or your might have, no assumptions) but if that's the thing you like, they were excellent and well reviewed. I don't see why DA2 has to be any different, just based on a few examples like Drive Angry (shudders). The fact is that its a business, and they have to make money to stay in business. Even the smallest indie developer still has a bottom line.

I think a lot of the concerns people on these forums have is just knee jerk reactions to what they see as changed or deviating from the path of comfort. Undoubtably some of those people will find their worst nightmares come true, in no small part of them believing it to be the case, but I think, ultimately, Bioware will deliver. Marketing is marketing, and getting the word out is just a way to sell more copies of the game. I actually think it is a viable method. I doubt it happened this way for DA2, but having a core base of dedicated fans help promote a game keeps money on the development side, instead of PR. In an ideal world anyway.

None of this is to say that I don't, at the very least, see and appreciate the opposite point of view. I do, and there is a part, albeit a small one, that fears the shadowy hand of EA's money making machine will grip Bioware. Still, they've held out so far, and maybe EA will start to return to its more idealistic beginning philosophy. They did, after all, go to bat for ME1 with that stupid sex scene 'controversy'. Then again, in the words of Alan Shore, all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to say "It's just business".

Still, I intend to retain some part of the naivete I lost most of during life and hold out hope that the world is not a black and dismal place, and maybe, just maybe, people who make games do so because they enjoy it, and it isn't all about the money. So far, I have seen no reason to throw up my hands in despair.

This is, quite possibly, the single most sensible post I have seen on these forums.

That is all.

And I agree whole heartedly. However, in answering the Facebook situation, I never signed up with on it for the simple fact that I like my privacy. If DA2 was a multiplayer game I would understand using Facebook as a medium for gaining some ground publicly, but it's not.

Facebook is the largest networking site in the world. Why can't they use it? And in my oppinion it's working and working well.

Folks on these forums are so negative, I swear. Everyone has a right to express their own opinion, but I propose we start using a standardized format. Henceforth, if you have nothing constructive to add, I suggest the complaint format should be as follows:

"Durka, durka, durka, no liek <insert noun here>!"

It would save hours and hours of weeding through all the senseless prattle. Just my $.02.

*glares* You have got to be kidding! Ugh, facebook... The ONLY reason I have account so that I can contact my brother if we ever change phones numbers/move at the same time again. (yeah trust me when I say those were the worst 3 months of my life so far.) All I can say is someone has been using facebook too much in BioWare. Also the challenge will most likely fail, I will be surprised if we do win. So surprised in fact, IF we win; I, for the first time ever, will play as a mage in Dragon age 2. I'll die a horrible death most likely as one but hey it could be fun.

ps Will do my part and hit like and share untill the 4th, I hope we do get the last tome; I just don't see it happening is all.

They should have made it only a 200k get. At least that would seem reasonable. <_<

Well If you already have profile then it won't be hard for you to click share??  

[Childofbaahl]

if you click on the picture in someone's share...it says 50,000 not 1,000,000... strange as it says 1M in the text... maybe they've changed it

[hindhaughlee]

FYI it's says 50k shares now. They took it down from 1m to 50k

[Saraphial]

*sigh* I did it, but I feel so used...

[Childofbaahl]

what you going to feel like after the next 4 days.... dirty....

[JP6400]

If it is 50k and not 1 million... then we might be succesful in that challenge too.

If it's still one million then we will surely fail.

[Bio Sil]

keep moaning and saying its not gonna happen and we might get it down to 25k

[sierra-357]

Its 50,000 from today until March 4. So probably 2 million total...

[LordMarrick]

well i hope i can stay away from this topic as much as possible but i dont think that is gonna happen as im soo hyped about DA2 and this is gonna be the most active thread but 4 days of Facebook spam no thanks i will wait and see what heappens i have the 2 books for the original 1mill so and the staff and other wep so im not bothered

[Childofbaahl]

50K a day... should be do able right? 200K over 4 days... no problemo...

[Loseless]

On topic: GJ ppl.
It does make me think if it was the PS3 users that got added in at the last frew hours, I cant see no ohter way for it to rise 250-300k.
As for this facebook idea one word.......meh....guess I do my part.

Just FYI if you don't want to overload all your friends with the share, do the following:

1. Click Share
2. When the window pops up click the lock icon next to share, click customize
3. When the window pops up, under the section "Make this visible to: these people..." click on the drop-down and choose "specific people"
4. Type in a name of someone who you either don't like and want to spam, someone who wouldn't care if you spam'ed them, or someone who doesn't use their facebook
5. Click save settings
6. Click share

This way you're not one of the annoying people who clutter up other peoples profiles but you still get to share the link.

Enjoy the spamming!

[Grethus]

'Powerfull'? How did that slip through?

Anyway, I'll add to the chorus of congratulations on achieving the demo challenge thingy! And good luck for those partaking of the Facebook challenge bit.

Good hint, thanks!

I call shenanigans.  No love for MySpace users?    Of course, I'm a 35-yr old married male, so I don't meet eligibility requirements for either, anyway. 

[rabidhellhound]

For those who don't ever use Facebook, what the hell does, "visit the Dragon Age Facebook page and share that days post." mean? Granted, I know that I'm behind the times on the whole Facebook fad (and don't ever really intend to get into it), but some actual instructions for people who are clueless or have never had a Facebook account before and don't know how the hell to operate it (or haven't been on since their last major change) would be very nice.

[christophermicheal]

so if the quota isn't met for the first day post what's going to happen? Oh the rest of the 50k were dislikes? Because who's going to keep spaming their friends after the first day fails, if it does that is. I did my part, shared it with all 4 of my face book friends.
