haven't started the game yet but i yay !!!!

[android654]

yay... If you like what Bioware did with Mass Effect 2, you'll like Dragon Age 2. The Qunari are seen a lot different than in your conversations with Sten. Bloodmages are portrayed differently. Side quests feel important to your companions, well so far.

All in all its sitting really well with me, and look forward to pulling an all nighter with this one.

I'd say yay. Most of the people who don't like DA2, are the same folks who don't like ME2. They don't like change.

Or they just don't like DA2.  The don't like change, fear change lines are just as bad as the dumbed down crap.  Backhanded insults at people who don't like the same things you do doens't really prove a point.

I got mine as a gift when I had told one of my friends I was going to wait for the super special edition.  I have not put much time into it yet, but I've had fun so far.  So a qaulified Yay I guess.  Once I've finsihed the game I'll have a more full view on the subject.  I'm having fun in the combat as my stand out thing I prefer over DAO/A.  I like games to go more storngly to one side of the turn or action based spectrum than DAO/A did, it was too middle gorund for me.  I'd rather have DA2 which is strongly action oriented or a closer to full turn based system like final fantasy 12.  On the so far don't like it side is the talent system.  Not that DAO/A was perfct in this regard but it seems to be more forgiving to generalists.

The thing is people want another DA:O, sorry to say, this is a different game...get used to the change

I just cannot believe the amount of misery in this whole forum itself. I laugh at miserable people then move quickly away from them- they'll never change. Ever.

It's obvious that the people who love it aren't here- they're off playing it and having a grand old time and we're stuck with these crabcakes. I'll be back when those people are here to dish with.... =D

Like you, I guess? 

Not liking various aspects of a game or even the whole game =/ being miserable.  Sheesh.  People will have different opinions than you sometimes.  Besides, I've seen both yays and nays.

I bought the signature edition. Installed it, now I can't run Dragon Age Origins or Dragon Age Awakening. It got them both.

Having played DAO, I was not used to the camera control in DA 2. I'm getting used to it though.
So far.... mixed feelings...

On the contrary, that style of gameplay worked great for Mass Effect primarily because it was a shooter with RPG elements. This is meant to be a sequel to a traditional RPG; "the sequel to the spiritual successor of Baldur's Gate". The action elements just feel out of place, and your options for skills/powers seem meaningless.

Overall, it feels like this game doesn't know what it wants to be. I've loved every Bioware game to date, ESPECIALLY the Mass Effect series, but this.... this is a nay for me.

Got to say, having play evey major role playing game since before there were home computers I am happier than a pig in poo after about 8 hours of playing and no it is not an ME2. The complexity of interaction with companions is much higher than DAO and so far I would say the story depth is much greater. Batlefield tactics are similar to DAO just smoother assuming you actually manage them. Of course if you just put everything on autopilot there is nothing to it but in that case it is not the game that is dumbed down it is your playing style.

and not liking a game is fine- it's the miserable posts that go on and on and on about hating the game and wanting money back when they know it's not possible, etc.- those are the posts I'm refering to.

Sooo...

Most of us love the PC voice over. Hence the reason Bioware added a PC voice in the first place. Imagine that!

Well I guess if it's a single person counting you love it, then it is most. 

No, it really is the most. Sometimes you are the minority.

As for me, I will give my judgement to this game tomorrow, Steam says DA2 will unlock for me in 11 hours. At least I can spend 8 of it in school so it won't feel like a month. I think I will enjoy it, I don't usually compare games to other games and just enjoy what was given to me. Like when NWN2 was released, most NWN fans were pissed off, but I liked it. It wasn't the same, no, but it was very enjoyable if you didn't let your bias kick in.

ABSOLUTE NAY.

I waited to buy the game because I was tentative and, after having played it at my friend's house (and seeing the reviews), I'm glad I didn't.

My short playthrough of the demo and at my friend's house has shown me that Bioware has given us a throwaway in DA2.

-The locations are bland. Flat, color-less, empty (and I mean devoid of life... ME2 felt like a bustling galaxy, even in empty places. Here... everything just seems disjointed and static). The beginning area of the game, which would have been an amazing opportunity to kick off the game the right way by showing the full range of the Darkspawn destruction, was instead limited to a couple brown ditches, a small, crumbling structure, and a battle on a flat, brown field.
-The story is almost non-existent (we're several hours in and have yet to encounter anything that resembles a coherent plotline, save "go here, do this.").
-The combat is clunky. Between targeting issues and camera fowl-ups, I've easily MISSED enemies with attacks and had to repeat entire battles because my Defender is too stupid to defend my mage, who goes down in three seconds from EVERYTHING attacking her, when I tell her to.
-Shepherd in ME1 *and* ME2 felt special, because she was uncompromising, strong-willed, and experienced, which showed in every playthrough on either Renegade or Paragon. However,in DA2, everyone keeps saying I'm a "Champion"... but I can see no clear reason why Hawke is special, other than she's the PC.
-The poorly written dialogue reinforces this, as Hawke is bland and uninteresting. Her compatriots are similar in this regard, as they sign on to her party without question, offer help for no reason, and become fast friends for no reason other than it's convenient to expedite the pace of the game.
-The first two hours of the game emphasize combat only, barely touch on specialization (which is confusing unless you spend 20 minutes reading all the different branches), and are filled with endless waves of cookie-cutter enemies. Hell... even the writers seemed to get bored with it, because I was allowed into the city with two short walks on the same, small map, before I was consigned to a ONE YEAR fast forward and then introduced to a bunch of NPCs (lacking any discernible personality besides being gruff and shrewd) that knew my character as a slave, but had yet to be introduced to me. Oh, and my first big quest is "make mom happy."

I hope to God Bioware is releasing the REAL Dragon Age 2 next week, and this is an early April Fools joke, because this game is God-awful pitiful at the on-set and several hours through does not appear to be getting any better.

I also hope to God you've got all the talent on ME3, because an awful lot of bad decisions have been made for this game and it painfully shows.

Wow I actually guessed right when i cancelled my pre order because of the mixed reviews on the forum so far i felt from the demo the game would not be a 60 dollar title. Sweet/sad i saved myself some money for a change. I will buy the game eventually but when it is closer to the gaming value i say 30 to 40 dollars. I would have loved for the game to be as epic as DAO was but sadly from what i am hearing it is not, therefore here is to waiting for a Steam sale weekend when the game cost matches the quality of the content a bit closer.

Just finished my first playthrough (as a Mage), while i didn't enjoy it quite as much as i did origins it was pretty good. The lack of character/party customization really made the game less immersing and also i wish it would've been a bit longer. But its a pretty good game overall, i don't feel cheated.

DA2's a cute game, so far. I haven't beaten it, but so far, it's adorable.

Like an ugly, dumb, three-legged dog. It tries to hobble along, bless its heart.

It's been so average so far, I can see how people love it and how people hate it.

Though hopefully the game will get better after this awful unrelated quest spam is done with

[Logen9]

Yay

[Selectric]

Compared to DA:O...nay.

On its own, it's alright so far. But I sincerely hope for DA3 Bioware goes back to DA:O for inspiration, not DA2.

[dtmoss]

but of course yay

[colata]

Just played about an hour of it and I found this game pretty enjoyable and well made so far.

so, Yea

Also, I can appreciate dev's effort to innovate? combat system and it works for me.
Simplified yet effective/ variable enough skill tree system/

I think it's crafted well enough for multiple playthroughs.

and luckily I could appreciate high res patch
but buggy very high option might need some more patch.

Nicer graphic/ varied believable combat animation and combat system add HUGE replay value to this game I believe.

Changed art style with some mid-eastern attire look fresh

As many reviewers online say inventory system is maybe too simplified, I feel that too.

Ability to customize appearance and equipment to make character to one's taste is one of major affection of RPG genre over many other simplified action adventure / fPS, but simplifying it too much is very hard to understand...

Taking out redundancy would be nice but over simplifying?
Taking good/ well received features from other genre is always welcome/
but taking out already advantageous feature of RPG would not be good for RPGers?..

Not a big fan of appearance dlc..

Yay

I'm a bit disappointment at the removal of some aspects, like customizing your companions look with gear or that the combat is too fast but, other than that, i'm loving it.

[Oneiropolos]

Decent on it's own as a game, but compared to Origins, a Nay. I'm really discouraged by the rivalry/friendship system. I keep see-sawing even while trying to keep my character make consistent decisions. Look, if my decisions are going to create rivalry, fine, but how come whenever I just try to make the right, pragmatic decisions, Aveline can't make up her mind whether she's my friend or my rival?

Also, I really enjoyed being able to stop and talk with people in Origins...I HATED that that was removed from Awakenings and I'm constantly visiting houses now just to discover, nope, still can't talk to them. I feel really disconnected from the characters. I can't figure out their motivations besides shallow ones (Sorta like if you didn't talk to Morrigan or Zevran enough you'd just figure they were either a complete jerk not worth knowing or in Zev's case, completely shallow and vapid.) The characters are FUN, don't get me wrong. But they're not as engaging as they managed in Origins and I think alot of that is the seriously more limited discussions. I feel like I'm in ME2 again where I get to find out Garrus is recalibrating crap ten thousand times.

[Lumikki]

I haven't played the game, so hard to say anything. But after demo, I would say, it looks like fine game. Problem isn't that game isn't good, problem is that people are expecting game to be something else and these same tradionalist RPG people can't handle it. It's not the game what has problems, it's some people in this forum who has problems.

So, I ques my vote is Yay.
