I'm trying to stay away from spoilers, which is why I haven't read too many of them. Besides, I prefer to make my own opinion, so except for very specific things, they're mostly useless to me.
It is to be expected that most feedback right after release is negative though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'm looking forward to Thursday, and based on what I've seen so far, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I'm worried about the import glitch after reading about it but it won't stop me playing it as soon as it arrives. Hopefully it ill be patched soon enough.

If the game is better than the demo (and i thought that it was already quite good) then I'm happy.

I am surprised people aren't talking about the length of development. It is about 16 month since Origins and normally Bioware would take an extra six months or so I would guess.

All the "It's rushed!" complains were countered with "BioWare is teh sex" arguments since these boards were opened.

 Stupid escapist review had a massive spoiler in the video at one point.
The review average is probably around 8.6 or 8.7. I think the game looks more than biowares standards and it looks like it has improved on DAO in many ways. Still very excited even though so many people are hating. Cant wait.

[GreyWardenNathan]

My SE from play was posted today, and im still excited but mixed with a lot of worry, alot of the things people complain about i understand and if its true it will disappoint me i think. It seems armour is pointless in this game as only you can use it, they should have atleast make a upgrades shop that you could make their outfits better, You better be able to change their weapons as well. Otherwise they might as well have done the same to hawke

[TobiTobsen]

I'm always asking myself: why exactly are we getting the game two or three days after the american folks on the the other side of the big lake?

Apart from that i'm excited to play the game myself. The reviews are all good, even if they complain about copy&paste dungeons etc. so it can't be a total disaster

About feedback on these forums... I like to see what happens next week. By that time everyone has played the game and excuses like "you only played the demo" and "faith in BioWare" won't hold anymore. I also think that people making the decision to buy the game (or not) based on the demo or the articles or user reviews is natural. The "you can't judge the game until you've played it" argument is partially true, but it is also nonsense, because you can't buy every game out there. Sometimes you need to make a choice. However, I don't like the aggression (both sides) and the melodrama on these forums. It's getting worse by the day.

My "overall" expectations are that the next time they release a game, we can play it too, instead of waiting on the sidelines like this. I hate seeing other people enjoying the game when i have to wait for it just because i live somewhere else.

there are a lot of aggressive arguments on here at the moment, i put that down to excitement about the game (positive argument) or overall disapointment in the game (negative argument). Everyone has their own general opinions and will like it when people take notice of what they are saying (doesnt everyone).

we really cant buy every game out there that would be financial suicide, so the mojority of gamers will rely on the reviews, demos and overall feedback of other gamers (again not helped by the massive yes or no aggression approach). Im very surprised that on the threads second page and everything has remained on neutral ground, easy on the eye to read... so to speak.

"you only played the demo" and "faith in BioWare" arguments i think come from people that have an intense love for the genre as a whole (correct me please if im wrong) so i do see their point completely. I wouldnt particularly say im a bioware fan as DO is the only title of theirs ive played so have no base for comparison... but next week will be interesting when the dust settles to see what everyone thinks of it as a whole around the world. Pinch of salt still required to read some opinions, add that to some of my british chips and im damn over excited about getting my hands on the game 

[Cyras. Knight-Errant]

I mostly try to stay away from the spoilers as well, but since the US-release i'm regularly skimming through the forums looking for opinions on the game. I've read the threads that popped up over the day but most of them are only amusing and not very informative. It's mostly the faithful shinning knights of the bioware fanbase against the evil forces of trolls and the disappointed. ;-) At least they are funny to read, especially the PC-elitist ranting (consol-kids).

I personally think the true game lies somewhere between these to clashing positions also i still somehow trust Bioware to deliver a decent game. But maybe this is the reason why so many seem disappointed, because the expectations form a BW game are always high. The reviews i've seen so far support this. The lower ratings are always justified with that it isn't as great or complex as former BW games.

I take the feedback here as entertainment to shorten the time to the European release but I rather form my opinion on my own after i played the game.

Well I loved DA:O, Loved DA2 Demo too.

Unfortunately I recently built a comp and have yet to reinstall DA: O and put my save games on it.

GRR.

I only pay attention to a dozen or so of the forum regulars whose opinions, positive or negative, I know I can trust. A lot of posters have been bashing the game long before they even saw any gameplay or tried the demo, so I'm hardly going to be taking any of their comments seriously (in fact, I reckon most regulars who like the game will be too busy playing it to come on here to post for a few days, so the doomsayers will be in the majority in the threads for a time).

There's some technical issues which have been brought up, which is a concern, but none of them are major enough to bother me greatly (unless they aren't fixed eventually ).

I won't judge the game until I've finished it myself. I've been following the game's development, was happy enough with the demo and I'm not looking for (or expecting) DA:O part 2.

[Aurgelmir]

Trying to avoid spoilers as well.

Looking forward to it, but I'm getting the impression that its not 'Bioware Hall of Fame' material from reviews and friends who're playing the game.

Still though I expect I will, at the very least, enjoy it for what it is.

[Guitar-Hero]

Wait a few weeks then look at what people say, people who are enjoying it are probably playing it

[HapGhost]

Skimming through the forum I find a lot of negative feedback which is almost all technical related. There also seams to be a lot of misinformed or prejustical opinions. This is the first thread that I find to be balaced and, well, "sane".

Anyway I believe you should respect the creative freedom of the team behind the game, and I for one am looking forward to continuing my adventure in the Dragon Age.

respecting the creative freedom of the team should be easy for us all after the games they have made in the past (its a great team) I get the feeling though that some people are angry that its so "different" from DA:O... but wait, wouldnt everyone be annoyed if t was EXACTLY the same with nothing taking the world forward? Im at least glad people here are sane as mentioned before by another poster.

Seen it all before. Right during launch all forums light up on how a game is ruined forever. Until I can judge the game by myself people can continue to serve whine and cheese as long as they want.

[ReinaHW]

Modified from a song I like called Final Destination by Within Temptation -

'Oh I'm waiting, always waiting. I'm curious on if it's decent. So I'm waiting, always waiting, soon I'll form my own opinion on it!'

Those whining are likely the usual shooter fans who want the same tired shooter they get all the time or those just wanting attention.

I'm disappointed at the sound of it being dumbed down, games are dumbed down enough as it is these days in order to cater to those who complain if they don't get their hand held all the way through a game and everything done for them.

I hope the game will be decent, enjoyed DA:O a lot, still enjoying it. But I am worried.

[Illthar]

 I look thru the feedback being posted but seriously like 8/10 I quit reading after the first few lines since it's nothing but ranting.EVERYONE has right to their opinion about a game but sometimes it just gets silly. It's like everyone has the right to be absolutly pleased in every aspect, every day, right now every time. It gets to much! Show me the constructive critisism for gods sake! (Admitting, some of it seems constructive though!)
I've sworn to myself, when I've finished the game I will come back into this black hole of a forum and write an contructive review of the game, based on my opinions as an 28 year old father of 2 with an full time job and with my perspective on playing RPG's since the diaper days. 
Does that mean I'm gonna write all good? Absolutly not! If the game does'nt deserve a good review, the review will not be good! My days of "fanboism" is long gone. Now days though, I've inherited the ability to actually judge a game for what is is and should be.... a game!

As an oldschool follower of Bioware, I cannot help but be disheartened at hearing how DA2 has been watered down. I know times have changed and their main target audience has shifted but it still hurts that they're ok with compromising their art for the sake of profit. Of course, I take the negativity with a pinch of salt and when I get the game on friday, I'll give it a genuine shot.

[Subject One]

Dragon Age 2 has received good reviews on spanish sites, but also a lot of bashing from the 'hardcore' pirate-gamers. What I am expecting from the game?

1- A combat system that works better on Xbox360 than DAO.
2- A game where Bioware has got the balls to make a very different story (I really like the political-social approach... someone really want to save the world AGAIN?... how original!)
3- I really like the dialog 'wheel' system. Silent characters feel outdated to me.
4- Recicled environments are really my only big concern so far.

I think that DA2 will have some things better than DAO and some things worse. But I'm glad that Bioware has tried to change/ update the old classic fantasy RPG. It would be easier for them to stick with the old 'hardcore' formula, but they don't want to do the same game twice, and I think that this is the only way to evolve. Maybe not all the changes will be great, but I'm sure that the game will be fun.


PD: Sorry for my poor english. Next time i will write in spanish. Cajones

On PC so auto attack not really of concern. Same general complaints as the demo from closed minded people. Not that worried although I am aware there are genuine things that I may not like.

[proudclod_sj]

i cant really say that i personally am too worried about auto attack (PS3 player) i have a feeling it may keep me in the thick of battle and constantly concentrate to make sure Hawke isn't stood around doing nothing, then again ive heard you can turn it on in the options menu so if my theory is wrong, on goes auto attack.

I have become a bit concerned about recycled environments throughout the game (not seen myself yet so only a fleeting concern)
