That's the impression I'm getting from reading many of the first-hand responses on here and elsewhere. The latest review posted on VGS offers a counter-point to the often sycophantic and rose-tinted assessments written by many professional reviewers (who I suspect are in the pocket of EA):

I can't recall any previous Bioware game receiving such a polarizing reaction from the community. For the next DA installment, I only hope the devs learn from this experience and go back to the drawing board to look at what made DA:O such a phenomenally successful RPG.

That website is a joke. 0/10 is an absurd score, and the writer was probably 12.

No less absurd than the perfect 100 score The Escapist gave it.
In this age of score inflation where every game gets 9/10 or 10/10s, 8/10 is considered average, and anything less than 7/10 poor, its refreshing to see a score based on a grade scale that aligns more or less along a normal distribution. If a game is terrible (and clearly the reviewer thinks it is) why shouldn't it get a 0? Anyway the score is the least important part of a review and I wish people would stop attaching so much meaning to it.

Lets see here... Almost perfect ranking for the previous DA? check
Calling DAO story "perfect?" Check.
Give DA2 a terrible score. (Beyond terrible. A freaking 0.) check
Look not liking DA2 is great. But a 0 out of ten? That not only ignore the several GOOD things the game has brought about, but absolutely tramples their credibiliity down to simple fanboyism. The score is important in this instance, as it was set to send a message by VGS. No game deserves a 0/10. Why? Because that means its not even a game!
DA2 and Bioware are not immune to criticism. This isn't criticism though, not even close.
