Hey, like I said, I don't even mind all the negative reviews and find it all kind of funny.  I just said it doesn't surprise me in the slightest if the flood of metacritic 0 and 1 reviews are from raging /v/idya fans  Your post didn't exactly deter me from thinking that.  <3

Well I've already said this plenty of times already, but user ratings for this game on metacritic are a battleground for haters, as are a few others games like Call of Duty. The number of user reviews is also pretty small, and I've no idea how many played the game.

You're not the only one. I wouldn't doubt it, but I also don't really feel it was them. If they did though... hahah.


Be nice if most goverments went, you know thats enough! . A number of goverments at the UN right now given all the unrest caused by it are even right at this momment debating even leaving the switch on short of for transactions and data transfers. Or at the least case making everyone register to a Real ID system as is done in South Korea, and putting in force laws and requlations.

Also Metacritic is heavily, well not baised, more like stupid. Look at some of those reviews on other games, its like the site is over-ran with Old School Gamer Goths, who think the SNES is the best thing since sliced bread.

But so far all of this crap is from PC snobs. Get over it, the PC market just isn't that big, and well face it its cheaper to roll out the X-box 720, or the PS-6 than it will ever be a PC.

Well in the end reviewers scored it less than usual, and almost everyone bashed the game cause of its lack of freedom and party customization.
Gamespot ask himself why Bioware needed to remove something it wasn't broken.
Really...why?

People, people.....throwing insults around will get us nowhere.

Accusing others of being trolls is useless, pointless and stupid.
Stick to talking without throwing insults.

8hrs into the game I'm enjoying it very much. Most people that like the game don't spend time reviewing but playing.

Most people also haven't received their game yet so they don't spend time playing but reviewing.

...is growing more and more distant with each day more idiots like yourself populate the gaming industry's consumer base.

Fortunately, as time goes by, we slowly get rid of old grumpy haters too. ;) Said by an "old school" if you need to rate me by age.

I don't think that anyone in his/her sane  mind denies that there are very valid negative reviews there. As there are positives too by the way. But the same that I don't trust 10s, I don't trust 0s either. Specially when many are obviously rigged. But hey, whatever.

A pity that so many "mature" individuals give a so poor and lame example to those who follow.Posted Image

... I will be honest, I am unsure about DA2, leaning more to dislike. But I dont like or agree with this at all. I want a fair and accurate rating, not this, this is BS and people will actually buy it becuase they cant trust the reviews when they see constant 0s. Secondly, I feel sorry for BW. Do I hate some of the things BW has done, definatley, advertising things that werent there, planned dlc, removal of things that didnt need to be changed, rushing, not testing, etc. But They still worked hard making this game, its a shame to see it treated in this manner.

Honestly I really hated what happened to ME2, and like I said not keen on the ideas in DA2, but this isnt the way to get a dev to improve and act better, and I actually feel I need to counter this and buy the game to support them... I dont agree with lots of things they did but doing this just goes to far for me, when devs worked hard, even if they did things I dont like they still spent hours a day working on the game it kinda makes me pity them and feel the need to atleast balance it, treating the game/developers/company wont improve how they work, they are more likely to act seriosuly and care about fans if you are civil and explain what went wrong with contsructive criticism. *sigh* this is just trolls (yes I hate people saying it but this case is true) being ****s about it, its sad that they represent the side who dont like the direction DA is taking.

QFT
I will get my copy on friday ,saturday is worst case scenario but serously liste to this guy in MY opinion is USESSLES to do rewies now because  people that defend the game are BW  fanboy/girls people that say game is bad for this and this reason are acused of being (?) troll so even the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is lost in the flood of BW fanboing/girling (is that even a word?) and trolling so let just wait a day or two for the emotion to cool down because then you can   give the game a bad/good rewiew and not be acuse of being BW fanboy/troll etc

and please wait til i get out my flameproof suit  wil take me a minute thank youB)

I feel for you. You can distrust Metacritic's user score. I agree the users go too far by 0's and 1's. But overall, Wall Street will judge company's share market based on Metacritic and GameRankings. Also game sales can be influenced by such ratings. If you don't believe Wikipedia's references, you could check their external links or sources and track from there for accuracy.

I have posted 2...maybe 3 times on this forums and have never rated a game officialy. Yet i have played Bioware games since the Black Isle days and loved them (till their decline IMHO) lately. And as you can see i have bought their games (naven't bothered to register ME1 and Awakenning).
Am i too a troll or my opinion is not valid, only because i try to express some constructive and valid even though heavy criticism to a company i valued most of all game companies and expected something good from them.
Granted there are ppl who just flame, but why dismiss the valid points?

The whole review system is flawed. I for one wouldn't trust or dismiss a critic review more than i would a user one. If the users could unite to "flood" and "troll" a game it would be even easier for 1 person to go and "buy" the "right" critic for a "right" and "good" review.

I for one thought I was going to hate it (still not sure how they play Anders out) but I love it and I showed the demo to my bff last night and she loves it too. No it's not Origins and I love, love, love Origins, but it's a dang site better than Awakening or any of the DLC that was for Origins. I never trust reviews and Bioware will fix their boo boos or they'll give us a toolset so we can fix their boo boos. Plus, I'm rather looking forward to the dlc this time. I think they'll mass effectize it and it will be much better than the DLC for Origins. I've think they've learned their lesson on DLC. Am I optimistic, maybe, but I believe in Mike Laidlaw and crew. I have faith in them.

Plus, Gamespot gave it an 8.0 with a critic score of 8.3. They're the one site I've always trusted and an 8.0 score on Gamespot means the game is a great game.  Not excellent but certainly not subpar.  I think the problem is that people didn't like the changes made.  There were many 8.0 games that I fell in love with.  I'm sure this one will be no different.  Dead Space was an 8.5 and I'm addicted to that game.  Giving a game an 8 does not mean it sucks.  Will this get game of the year, no, there are too many excellent games coming out this year including ME3, but I'll play it and love it.

The Golden Age is long gone. By now it's best to stop hoping for Bioware to make games of the same quality as they used to, and start looking for greener pastures.


What?

If there ever was a "Golden Age of Gaming" it is now. Although the japanese gaming industry is falling (like every kind of entertainment in Japan btw) the rest of the world is thriving, games are mainstream media now and therefore bigger projects are "Hollywoodified".
But there still are and will always be hardcore niche games, you just have to look out for them.

Now, as for bugs etc in this game: yes, it sucks but it is a side effect oh the capitalistic world we're living in. Some don't seem to understand that EA is the company that decides when a game is released and those who understand usually just point fingers, but let's face the truth for once - it's no one's fault that some games are released in a lackluster state.

I seriously don't get why people keep shouting, "omg Da2 is so bad, etcetc".

I've played It, Its not bad! there are some issues with slowdowns that can be fixed by tabbing out and in.. other then that its a fairly solid, and a very enjoyable experience. I am about 10 hours in atm, and I see no sign of the end.

Fact Is if you are not gonna take your time and enjoy the dialoque and cutscenes then you might aswell skip dragon age overall, Its a major part of the game and its the only bloody way you'll actually immerse yourself in the game.

Its obvious some of these reviews were rushed, and most likely not made by someone with the actual patience to enjoy the entire game.

If your gonna use the "esc" button, then you might aswell go back to playing pacman.

These are the same idiots who gave games I hated good scores, so as far as I'm concerned they are wrong more often than not. Also, they have advertising dollars to factor into their "impressions" of a game. I, on the other hand, do not and can give an honest assessment (and anyone who doesn't believe that apparently doesn't know about the reviewer who was fired for giving a game an honest, bad review - which I agreed with by the way - just because the game publisher complained about the bad review and pulled their ad). Dragon Age 2 is NOT perfect, and some of the changes I feel should not have been made, however, compared with MOST of the games on the market it is definitely worth playing and I love it,  and no review from a game site or magazine is going to change my mind after my first hand experience. I hope people aren't actually forgoing playing the game because of some idiot's review. These are the same people who give VERY simplified, action, button mashers good reviews. Maybe this game is over their heads.

bet thease so called reviews did not think the game lived up to the hype or to their ex[ectations fron origins.


the best thing about sequals that do not use the same character from the first is that one must remember to treat it as if it were a different game.

the star of Dragon:AGe:ORigins was Thedas itself and t eh country of felderren(mispelled) not your WArden, your just a major player.


the star of dragon age two is the free marches(still Thedas), mostly the twon of kirkwall, and Hawke is just a major player.


the star for dragon age 3 will also be Thedas, but it could be Orlais this time around and someone completely different being the major player



eiterh way, take all reviers with a grain of salt, as they did not find the game fun, does not mean that I wont

Of course there is fault. And it is in all of us. In a risk to put this into a more social/philosophical plane, the spiral of increasing and "never enough" consuming has gotten us in the last decades and game industry is not untouched by it. More games, faster, now! leads to what we see now, and unfortunately not only in the game industry. So yes, we have our fault in the grand scheme. And as far as i am tempted to blame it all on EA (i do blame them and their **** corporate practices) i think i am responsible enough to say that we, customers have our guilt for bringing this on us. I would wait 3-4 years for a game, would the average Joe? 
Or the "I want all and i want it NOW" mentality is biting back at us?
