All those "0" scores are very helpful.


They're about as helpful as the 10/10 scores.


Good to know.

I don't bother with reviews, i've been looking forward to the game since I finished playing Origins, before any details of DA2 had even been released.
And from what i played of the demo, 2 is gonna be another epic peice of software. :)

I make my own mind up on games, I don't let some review sway me one way or the other.

Its fanboys at their best, causing a crapstorm over very minuscule details.

Also, there is quite a lengthy thread in /v/ atm about this...they do appear to be spamming it.  If reviews sound the same, and use the same terms, such as this notable gem of the past:
"It installs a virus on your computer that can't be removed"  (referring to DRM)

Then the reviews are spammed.  In Metacritic it appears to be referring to "Dragon Effect", "Conversation Wheel", "2003 graphics", etc.  Just read a bunch of them.

Even if the game has it's flaws and downsides it's not deserving a zero. Most of them are trolls. And i'm willing to bet that after giving the game a zero they went straight back to play it.
Idiocy!

83% on Xbox360
84% on PC
83% on SP3

And there aren't even 30 review for each. The score might even drop to 80%

Until I play the game I won't be freaking out. Darksiders has 83%, Dungeon Siege 2 has 81% and I love those games.

Those are not real ratings, just /v/ being assfurious. Seriously, go look on 4chan, they're not even being subtle about it.

Meh.

Metacritic gets panned when reviews are high, it gets panned when reviews are low..

There are only a couple of places whose reviews really matter and can influence my game purchases...trusting random peoples opinions on the internet just seems silly.

Now if you'll excuse me..this guy said if I give him my credit card details, age, occupation..he can take a small amount of my money and make me rich! Smell ya later!

Probably just people trying to balance it out. No one is going to give it an honest review if 636390683968930863986 trolls are giving it a 0.

Ouch...

I hope sales are at least decent so that BioWare can rectify their mistakes in a DA3...

Who the hell trusts user reviews. 90% of them are so poor that they should be outright removed from metacritic. But hey I guess we don't hold anything to standards these days because apparantly  the people are the content providers. I'l just share a little review gem

Truth be told the console versions are only 3-4 points below the DA:O console scores, not exactly a significant difference.

The vast majority of people giving the game terrible reviews on metacritic, or here for that matter.. have either never reviewed another game ever (check their user info), or in the case of these forums don't even own the damn game. I have a few nitpicky issues with the game, mostly pertaining to feeling like there isn't enough side content outside the city, I always felt stuff like that was refreshing in other RPGs (Neverwinter Nights/Baldur's Gate/etc.) but the core gameplay and overall narrative and artistry met or exceeded my expectations every time.

If I had to chide Bioware for anything, it's that their newer games seem to have less content in them in general. It's too easy to knockout the newer games in a few days, whereas BG or BG 2 would take me at least a month or more even if I played 6 hours a day. I feel that even though I go out of my way to do every single available sidequest I can find before I start even one primary quest that there isn't enough to do, which is a shame because I really do enjoy the experience and character interactions that bring the whole thing together. Varric's party dialogue is priceless, not quite Shale quality, but quite good nevertheless. But when it comes to hard content, and priceless difficult weapons and armor to be obtained and whatnot... the staple of most RPG endgame dungeons, it's been ignored again. Even just an old fashioned difficult optional boss... none of that anymore either. I miss the challenging optional dungeons like Watcher's Keep in Baldur's Gate 2, that kind of content has vanished :( It was one of my favorite parts of knocking out RPGs in the 90s, because you really felt you'd ACCOMPLISHED something. Now I get an achievement for figuring out which end of the damn sword goes in the other person.

Slamming? A metascore of 84. That's "Generally favorable".
Or did you mean the user reviews? You actually listen to people from the internet? :? In that case....sorry.

sooo.. 150 or so people voted / rated on it... and that's a meaningful significant number somehow?

You do know about the whole vocal minority thing, right? You've basically got 150 or so angry trolls there... and this is meaningful or relevant how?

People are dumb. Glad I'm not people.

Shocking.

And given how early these reviews are, the worst is yet to come. :(

It's Final Fantasy XIII all over again. Hardly any critics have the balls to score the game based on its merits whereas all of the fans are ripping it into shreds.


It's a blatant raid for the L0LZ. I've yet to decide who is responsible for this. Banned Bioware forumite? RPG Codex deluded trolls? Mike? A combination of those?

Don't know what Bioware should make out of it.

People who claim about user scores of a recently released game are much more stupid than haters or fanboys.

Is it really so hard to believe that a lot of people are disappointed with this game?  I know I am.  And it doesn't make me angry, it just makes me sad.  I even played through Origins a fourth time out of anticipation.  And what did I get at the store yesterday?  A half-baked combat system, some questionable design choices (why is everything so pointy now?), and a bunch of bugs and glitches.

 *mumble* you forgot - 

*cough* CD Projekt RED
*cough* Blizzard
*cough* Bethesda

In all serious..like Woo said...it's initial reaction regardless...both positive and negative...let it settle for a few weeks and they'll get a better idea of the general consensus and where the issues are.

Disappointed people don't flood user review sites with zeros and provide no real meaningful feedback.

They say how professional reviewers are bought out all the time,

but hey, those editors review or play much more games good or bad than normal ppl do
so, they quite possibly know their way around rating games with relatively objective? system.

So those incredibly low score user review without solid explanation is complete nonsense.,.,
