Thread title fail - those are not real reviews, but user ratings
A lot of those probably from the same enraged nerds polluting this forum.
It's the same as with ME2 & Final Fantasy XIII : " OMFG, this is not exactly the game I created in my head !?!?!?!?!?!!!! WTF, they changed something, change is evil !!! I must go on the internet and rate the game 0/10 wherever I can !!!!"
As of now there are 163 user ratings on metacritic with an average of 3.4, critic average is 84/100, on IGN there are 150 user ratings average 7.7. Pretty contradictory don't you think ? Better to play the game and judge for yourself.


I was JUST going to post that. On GameSpot the game's user rating is 7.5/8.8/9.0  (PC, X360, PS3 respectivelly), based on hundreds of people as well.

Obviously, BW must have bought those people off as well :whistle:


I just looked at the site to see why the PC ratings are lower, they can be summarized as followed " OMFG, I'M AN ANGRY PC NERD, MY KEYBOARD ONLY HAS CAPITAL LETTERS, I ONLY SPEAK HYPERBOLIC LANGUAGE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL !!!! AND THIS GAME ? IT'S PURE, UTTER GARBAGE !!! THIS IS NOT AN RPG !!! IT'S A DUMBED DOWN CONSOLE GAME FOR BRAINLESS RETARDS WHO CAN ONLY PRESS ONE BUTTON !!!!"
'nuff said

I havent played the game yet so I reserve judgement


Hope you actually get your copy so you can after all your efforts.


Thanks Aidunno :)   Although it still hasnt shipped yet from Play.com so im not optimistic at the moment. We will see though...   EDIT:  Scratch that just got a posted email :happy:


Additionally from everyone here I heard a lot of positive things about DA2. User Generated scores inflict much bias and one person could be so fustrated he's using 4 or five different accounts to slate the game! Of course us being big Bioware fans makes us inherintantly biased too.  But I would certainly take that user score with a big grain of salt.  Use the critics review for a more reasoned opinions at this early stage.

There must be some games out there that you like. Go play them. You'll feel happier. If not, I apologise on behalf of the gaming industry for not meeting your needs.

The game certainly isn't worthy of that early 94% review.

Though it's not a 3 either.

My feelings on the game keep changing, I really don't like the combat I've finally decided though. I think the game takes too long to really 'kick off' too. Things only really started to get interesting for me at about the deep roads.

If anyone here thinks that DA2 is being 'dumbed down' for consoles is bad, just wait until they inevitably start focusing on making 'rpgs' for motion control. :-D

Gotta love Bioware's delusional fanbase. A game got a bad review because it panders to console gamers? CLEARLY THIS IS TROLLING OF THE WORST KIND.

It's funny how any and all negative reaction can be instantly dismissed with a single word - trolling. 4chan, rpgcodex and I guess the KKK are responsible, not genuinely dissatisfied customers.

Of course. There's just NO WAY that Bioware could have screwed up, after all. Clearly all these negative reviews are from narrow-minded elitists and trolls, or are massive raid conspiracies from 4chan meant to sully Bioware's good reputation - even though Bioware's rep has been taking a beating ever since Mass Effect 2.

Look at the bad reviews - 95% of them have posted only 1 review 1 rating on that site. Its just funny how some people try to ruin the game and NOT let others form their own opinion about the game. I'll just wait for my own copy to make my own opinion, as I prefer to think for my self, not be a sheep.

Also look at the reviews - they gave scores of 0 to 1. The game is clearly not that bad, it can't be, because it have to be a freakin 2d tetris, and even then it would get at least a 4.

User knight5923 posted this in DA2 firt impresion forum THIS is constructive criticism in MY opinion

So, after +/-10 hours of gameplay, I think I've figured out the best way quantify my experience with this game:

Dragon Age 2 is more or less a good game, but at the same time, it's also a horrendous, train-wreck of a sequel.

Now before someone starts jumping on my back saying "It's not supposed to be Dragon Age: Origins .... it's not really a sequel, it's a spiritual succesor to such and such, blah blah blah...." I simply point to the name. It's DA2. It's a sequel. And it's really, really a bad one.

Now This isn't going to be all doom and gloom. Recall, I did begin by saying it was more or less a good game, and it is that, when looked at independently. Graphics are good, voice work is good, general game mechanics are not too bad, story is interesting, characters are kind of intriguing, decent writing, and at the end of the day, there's lots to do. In fact, if Bioware had simply called this game "Hawke's Kirkwall-ian Adventures", and completely severed ties with the Dragon Age series, I would most likely have had very few problems with this game.

But they didn't. This is Dragon Age. And it's gone off the rails.
By shoehorning this game into the series, it means there's no choice but to judge it directly against it's predecessor, and it leaves me thinking of how vastly superior DA:O was in almost every way.
The inventory system has been all but scrapped. Weapons have been harshly restricted. Companion equipment has been reduced to a single-item-upgrade easter egg hunt. Items have generic names (ie. Belt), with vastly differing statistics, and no story based backgrounds or descriptions to make them unique (with the exception of the few DLC items that you had to pay extra for). And your pack is constantly besieged by a unending flow of unusable junk (how many Small Opals and Oversized Whetstones can one man carry?)
Thedas has, despite all reason, been turned into a completely alien world from a design perspective. (Now, I realize that it could be argued that any stylistic differences could be explained away by the fact that the plot is being retold by a 3rd party, but seriously, if I'm going to spend 50 some-odd hours in this world, a little consistency would be nice) The Darkspawn look like skeletor, Ogres are giant bipedal pugs, Flemeth's randomly become a creepily sexy grandma, the Qunari are minotaurs, and the Elves are a bunch of Nav'i whose colour has faded to grey.
The missions, though interesting the first time through, quickly become repetitive. Every dungeon, mine, and sewer seems to have contracted a serious case of Developer Deja Vu. The environments are xeroxed so often that Hawke is surely starting to feel like Bill Murray in Goundhog Day. Your journal is continuosly filled with simplistic "Take this thing you just found from place A to person B" missions, your reward for which is a few coins and a random verbal response, which on occassion, will make no sense at all. (At one point, I brought a dead woman's body to a record-keeper, who joyously responded: "Oh, thank the Maker ..... I never thought I'd get it back again!")

Basically, the point to take away is this:
If you love RPGs, and you haven't played, or didn't care for DA:O, you're gonna love DA2.
If you loved DA:O, there is defintitely some fun to be had here but ...... maybe wait for Steam to have a sale/images/forum/emoticons/uncertain.png

This game deserves no score lower then a 7, it isn't even a bad game. It seems a majority of those reviews are a bunch of butthurt PC fans.

The 3.3 score of Metacritic further proves my stance on people playing the games themselves and forming their own opinions. I'm sure many willl be detered by the falsified words of these "reviewers", the only reviewer I trust is myself.

Most reviewers are paid to be absolute ****es, especially to sequel games, I wouldn't think much of it.

The 2010 GOTY that left many ME1 fans of the RPG features bitter and rage-infused to the point that they're STILL upset even after a year, yes.

And, wrong. Most reviewers these days are paid to give positive reviews. Otherwise gaming companies won't invite them to E3 or pay for their 5 star hotel rooms and fancy dinners anymore.

It's within your right to ****** away $60 for a sloppy console port. More power to ya.

None of them are as memorable as Morrigan, Alistair, Oghren, etc. Just another area where DA 2 fails short of Origins.

I love how devs are bribing reviewers these days.
