You can't honestly read those reviews and take them seriously. Disappointment or no, the game doesn't deserve a 0 on any account. Anyone who disagrees doesn't understand a thing about writing a proper review.

This is a holy war. DA2 needs to flop if we hope for RPG genre to survive.

Haters can't even wait a week to do the entire game before giving any mark... ridiculous. I hope this will get better when peoples who actually enjoy it will give their mark after an 100% walkthrough...

I can appreciate that some people don't like the game but surely only idiots would not realize that making constructive detailed reviews, even if scoring low would make their case far better. As such they are doing everyone, even those who want change a disservice. All this does it make metacritic pointless to get user opinion and will force companies to look at other places for user feedback.

It was obviously a /v/ raid.

I'm going to buy this about 6 months down the road, pick it up half price or so, exaclty what I did with origins.

Now, what game should I get?

Does it take one week to complete a 15-hour game? Besides, the console version has been leaked for a while now.

The denial of you people is astounding. 4chan has already come out several times and said they had nothing to do with this.

A cursory glance over the majority of the bad reviews on metacritic shows:

1. Most of them are well thought-out, eloquent and rational, which if you're familiar with metacritic is exceptionally rare.

2. They are all harping on the same issues, in great detail. Very few are "OMG THIS SUXXX" raving.

This is not a /v/ raid, this is the result of completely alienating the core audience from the first game. People have opinions that are different than yours. Get over it.

If it was anything but 4chan, the critic scores would be at least ANYWHERE WITHIN THE VAGUEST BALLPARK the same as the user reviews. Either the critic scores would be like a 5 or the user reviews would be an average of 6. An average of 8.5 vs. 3? Uh, sorry, but you'd have to be pretty mental to buy a discrepancy like that.

Especially since they're almost all from March 8th--before a person could possibly have really seen the content.

It's 4chan.

Please don't believe what 4chan says. They have trolled you.

So what you are saying is that the wall of 0/10-1/10 reviews are spot on? Come on, man.:lol:

Precisely. Reasonable people do not rate anything that actually is a game any lower than 1. If it installs and runs and you can shoot things, it at least rates a 1.

The reason the reviews sound marginally credible is that they did their research. The scale of the trolling is impressive, but it's still obviously trolling.

It's not being a "hater" to call out a terrible game for what it is.  The people giving the game 1s and 0s are doing so to bring down the metacritic average to more accurately reflect this.

If there weren't a bunch of irrational 10s then you might be right, the people with complaints would be hovering around the 4-5 mark.

Hell hath no fury like a traditional RPG player scorned.

No, but I think they accomplish their intended goal, which was to bring the average down to around 4, where it belongs.  This game is an insult, coming from a company like Bioware.

To be fair, if someone doesn't like a game they are not going to play through the entire thing just to write a review unless they are a professional reviewer being paid to do it.  Those who like it or don't immediately hate will probably play more before reviewing it.

You and the developers, I'm sure.  Do whatever makes you feel better.

After all it is just opinions, some of them are trolls some of them are dissapointed fans. It will always cause distress among the fans when a game company changes their style so much.

That's fine, I don't really care about sycophantic dismissal of any criticism whatsoever.

IF you had bothered to read any of the reviews, you'd see that they make valid points.

GameSpot gave "Dragon Age II" a 8.0.
GameSpot's critics gave it a 8.4.

However, the one that has the most impact... GameSpot's gamers (site visitors & consumers) gave "Dragon Age II" a 7.4.

GameSpot's User Rating (consumers) just fell to 7.3

 Hilarious review on that site from GodlikeSlayer:

GodlikeSlayer Mar 9, 2011
Bioware has become very good at making shoddy casual rpgs, much to the disdain of it's fanbase, this is an unworthy successor to dragon age origins no improvements to graphics and gameplay was added, I felt physically ill after playing this game.

We get that some people might not like the game, but I think they might be taking things a bit far, lol :lol:

You're on the wrong page OP:
http://www.metacriti.../critic-reviews

There, I fixed it for ya.

*directing the rest for general public*

Seriously, pretty much 95% of user "reviews" have been "BAAAAAH BAAAAAH BAAAAH ME WANT ORIGINS AND 10000 RETURNING NPC BAAAAAH BAAAAH!!!!". It's starting to ****** me off. I don't even have the game yet but I know that I'll enjoy it. The demo wasn't that bad, a Bioware product can never be that bad.

Play a game that REALLY has horrific gameplay, play a game that REALLY has horrible graphics, play a game that REALLY has a bad story, characters and voice acting and THEN start ****ing about how bad this game supposedly is.

The thing about the "modern gamers" (read = spoiled kids) is that something that isn't top notch and 100% perfect simply isn't enough. They get angry cos' this isn't just a huge expansion of Origins (why the hell should it be?) and start trolling forums and review sites, trying to sabotage Bioware into making another generic, slow-paced, unicorn RPG.

Origins was enjoyable but having played the "standard RPGs" since the 90's, I'm kinda waiting for something a bit more fresh and different.

I could ignore all this trolling but it's infesting the gaming scene in nearly EVERY SINGLE goddamn forum. Every company. Every game. Elderscrolls community must be the only one that has been generally positive throughout the years.

The intended goal is to troll the game like the bunch of whiny fanboys that they obviously are. The game may not be your cup of tea, but it sure as hell in not a 4/10 and BioWare does not deserve to be punished simply because you and a bunch of purists who want games to remain stagnant don't like a few of the changes that make the game faster, more enjoyable and easier to manage.

Maybe that's because Every Game Company has started churning out cookie-cutter drivel, and your standards are just low enough to find that acceptable.

I'm not insulting your tastes, I'm saying that just because you like something doesn't/shouldn't mean everyone else has to as well.

Welcome to the internet.  People have opinions.
