Troll moar.

If I only count games released in the past 7 years or so, I'd also put DAO at the top of the list.

DAO is a terrific game.  I don't doubt that many people rank it as the best game of all time.

I love how the biggest score difference is by a console gaming magazine. I guess you succeeded in what you were trying to do Bioware!

No one cares about the PSMagazine... no one but Killzone junkies ever do.

And the fact that DA2 is still getting good scores from places that scored DA:O high may prove that nailing the console aspect didn't necessarily hurt the game.

Except the score went down or stayed the same in the PC-specific reviews. The conclusion of the original post that says the over-all score of DA:2 has increased is incredibly misleading as it comes all from this one console-specific review.

Hey, I'm buying DA:2. I plan on enjoying it for what it is. But, I still find the data amusing.

It's true, the only reason the score is higher so far is because of the PSM3 review, though tbf a lot of reviews have yet to come and hopefully those will be better

No one trusts PSM except Killzone junkies... and Killzone was bad compared to any other FPS.

Well put. I'm hoping DA2 ranks as the best console game I've played in the past decade, Origins only ranked number 2 in that regard for me. PC however, Origins was by far my favourite.

Technically you have it has 9.4, which on a scale out of a hundred is not good.

That is the technical score that they give. OXM rates out of 10, too, and I listed it as 9.0.

Anyhow, updated with PSOM score.

Also, to people complaining about the averages: If DAO ends up with a higher average, that's fine. But that's how it looks now. Stop being elitist.

SFX Magazine have given it 3.5 stars out of 5. They say it lacks the scope of the original game as it is plagued with loading screens and small areas (X-box version was tested). They liked the characters and combat but felt the main quest line was not heroic enough.

I got the new issue earlier as a subscriber.

Thank you. Adding it now.

EDIT: Actually, I can't find the DAO review of it. How...erm...legitimate is this publication? And does anyone know how to average in stars properly?

Only PCs matter! How dare BioWare attempt to release good games on a platform other then mine? Yes, 2/3rds of DA:O sales were on consoles but PC users are the True Fans™.

As someone who has been playing video games only for about the past 8 years, I do rank it as my favorite.

The only reviews that count are the ones that I agree with, dammit!

[Bryy_Miller]

PSM gave Origins a 63? I didn't know it got a score under 90.

[konjusina]

Lol the only reason the score is good is because the changed their game to appeal to consoles and the masses.

[drahelvete]

The only reviews that count are the ones in Metro, 



because I can't afford video game magazines.

Yep. Which explains the great scores PC magazines are giving it, of course.

I know, I know, the only scores that count are the ones that back up your theories. If DAII gets a bad score, I'm sure you won't hesitate to say that it proves everything you've been saying.

And, FYI, DAO sold millions. So, it appealed to the masses back then, too. Sold well on the consoles, too. I guess DAO was a stupid kiddie console game.

If Bioware releases a toolset, you can expect most of these issues to disappear eventually on the PC version. Even the recycled environments.

People are actually able to modify the DAII demo with the toolset we have. It obviously won't be able to do everything, but it's something hopeful.

If only I could fit that in my sig.

[Blacklash93]

I am disappointed with the scores and criticisms so far, honestly. After the vast design improvements ME2 made over ME1 I was hoping for similar success and advances to be reflected here.

It's no dealbreaker, though. I know the writing will be great as always and even with the plot complaints, I'm sure the reviewers just weren't sure about the type of story DA2 was supposed to be. You're going to be disappointed if you go in expecting another epic, far-reaching quest to save the world.

DA2 is meant to feel grounded and is primarily focused on exploring the chapters of a very specific character's life. Calling it "limited" and "unfocused" in a way pretty much tells us that Bioware is telling the story it wanted to.

Hopefully that might be enough...

Considering how much work the Dragon Age team must have put in to making that toolset in the first place, I doubt even they want it to go to waste so quickly after Origins.

SFX magazine is the biggest selling SF and Fantasy magazine in Europe. The reviewer was flown to Bioware to review the game - it's legitimate (even if I don't agree with some of their conclusions). 3.5 stars out of 5 is 70%.

I don't know what their DA:O review score was.
