I can only agree. Me, who complains to have so little RPG, (really great) on console, I think I've never been so filled in a year.This is a great year for RPG fans as we are geting DA2, Witcher 2, Skirym, and ME3. Who cares wich is "better"? I for one will buy and play, hopefully love. all of them.

At least that leaves some hope for PC players.Scoutyo wrote...
For what it's worth, this thread's creator seems to suggest that the review was for one or both of the console versions. Apparently "they keep comparing it to the PC" version (see the OP's post on page 2).
I haven't seen the magazine, so I can't vouch for the score. But I guess soon enough we'll be playing and forming our own opinions.

Okay, typically I wouldn't comment in a thread like this. But GI is just utter trash when it comes to game reviews.
If someone can tell you that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a better game than Shadow of the Colossus, they are either a liar or an arse face.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the actual contents of the review yet?
The numbers are extremely unimportant unless if we know what the actual review is talking about.

Yeah, those were for DAO. And, these are console DAO scores:
Game Informer - 80
Destructoid - 75
PSM3 UK - 63
Eurogamer - 60
Edge Magazine - 50

You must be picking the lower grades, I thought it did much better than that. At any rate, people should take reviews for what they are: highly biased gushing by fanboys.

You think 8.25 rating will make da2 rpg of the year?

Well, you said GOTY.
Besides that, why pick out one single review and say "Because this magazine says it is inferior, it is inferior".
Play.tm - 85
Eurogamer - 80
VideoGamer - 80
Those from the PC version. If you saw those scores, would you call DAO GOTY material?

Witcher 2 and Skyrim have to move forward. DA2 seems to have some trouble catching up, according to some reviews(not this one, OP seems to be trolling) and my own judgement of the, granted, incomplete gameplay of the demo. And Origins being Origins, that's perfectly understandable.

Sooooo depends who you ask, now doesn't it?

Orgins got an 8 from them. Also Fable 3 got a 9.
I take reviews with a grain of salt.

Skyrim will take it. Open worlds are always the winner, and always preferred: after all, they appeal to more people. Talky-ready games, while still considered very good, appeal to a bit more of a niche crowd.

I wouldn't discard Witcher 2 so fast... Oblivion was a huge disappointment to me, and I still believe pretty much all the hype around it was due to it being a technical marvel at the time. It kicked the doors of the seventh generation of gaming with a rotating machine gun and yelling "IT'S ON". Gameplay-wise, it was pretty lacking.
I have high hopes for Skyrim, since they seem to have adressed most of what I didn't care for in Skyrim, but man oh man, Witcher 1 was such a pleasant surprise and the second looks so beautiful I can't help but remain certain it's RPG of the Year material.
Which I believe DA2 also is. The greatest problem with DA2 is that it has to follow up an ode to old school ocidental RPG, epic in every sense. If anyone finds it lacking, it won't be solely because of its own demerits, but out of the greatness of its predecessor.
Witcher 2, however, comes from a discredited game from an unknown developer that grew tremendously in scope and quality, if the Enhanced Edition is any reference, while Skyrim comes from possibly the most noble of the still breathing ocidental RPG series and, as far as I'm aware, and being a longtime fan, the worst entry in the series.
Witcher 2 and Skyrim have to move forward. DA2 seems to have some trouble catching up, according to some reviews(not this one, OP seems to be trolling) and my own judgement of the, granted, incomplete gameplay of the demo. And Origins being Origins, that's perfectly understandable.

The way I see it, this is a good year for RPGs, where we have DA:2, The Witcher 2, and Skyrim all being released.
Unless Skyrim is pushed back, I imagine it'll be rpg of the year. Not that I'm not going to enjoy DA:2, but I don't see a short, streamlined, mass effected rpg making rpg of the year in a year when a big sandbox (darling of gamers and journalists alike) is going to be released with the history of success behind the franchise as it does. Also, sorry Witcher, you're not going to sneak off with the rpg of the year award this time now that you're being released alongside the big boys. ;p Though, I'm sure I'll enjoy that game as well.

I am picking lower grades. I'm responding to someone claiming that an 88 (or the claimed 8.25) is not RPG of the Year material and we shouldn't expect it. I'm just pointing out that picking out one (or, in my case, eight...) reviews out isn't going to really mean a lot. If I took Destructoid's opinion as the Holy Grail, I'd probably think DAO sucked. But different people have different feelings.
I could take DAO's highest grades (perfect 100s) and say that it definitely should have won GOTY. Neither method is better.

I'm loling at anyone that thinks anything is going to beat out the granddaddy of sandbox open world games this year for rpg of the year.
But, hey, they could screw it up royally. Anything's possible, but if this was Vegas, the incredibly safe money is on Skyrim.
