/v/ and /b/ (they're the same, really) aren't lazy. If they want to troll, they troll.

And Germany and France ain't Europe. Gamereactor gave DA2 9/10. Are they bought off?


And Frances top review mag gave it 12/20 is there a point

Also did you take geography in school?

post actually been about ridiculing the game. Too bad its not. I'm not coming on to this board to praise or bash DA2.

I'm just here to get the notion that David Gaider put out there saying that 4chan was behind all the negative reviews. I'm here to defend all the valid opinions out there that Bioware is trying to sweep under the rug because they may hurt their buisness.


Well if playing a martyr risen agains the evil corporate world makes you happy and boosts your ego, fine by me.

To your credit, I must say that you act more mature and put on some constructive points unlike most of the people who create similar topics.


This isn't about my ego. You keep trying to dismiss my posts based on irrelevant factors. First you point out my join date. Then you try and insult me directly. I have been trying to stay civil here but all you are doing is tossing ad hominems. Nothing you have said has been constructive as of yet.

Anyone who thinks /v/ is behind the wofeul metacritic scores DA2 is getting has no concept of either /v/, 'raids', or metacritic itself.

That 3/10 everyone's giving your game, BioWare? That's genuine, honest community feedback. Take it on board.

Something doesn't add up though.

A lot of people say they enjoy the game and the critic reviews add up to 83%.
On almost all games the user reviews and critic reviews stay within the same score.

Alpha protocol the Obsidian SPY RPG that is not all that well received cause of bugs and silly AI
Has 72 Critic score and 7.3 user score (IE 73).

You're telling me that people on average hate the game SOO bad it ends up with a 4.0 in user score over 83 critic score.
Unlikely except for people on purpose voting down the game.
Also all you have to do is create an account and move a slider on Meta critic to lower the score.

Can you honestly tell me the game is THAT bad.
Sure it has no ISO view and it isn't as long as the first one, but honestly.
Atrocious games has gotten higher reviews both with critics and users.
I am not defending Bioware, clearly this wasn't as big of a hit with critics either, but hardly an average of 4.0 for user reviews.

This is anger taking place and a small group of people decide that they want to leave their mark of hate the only way they can.
There is a too large of discrepancy for it to be totally honest.

FFXIV has a critic review score of 49 and user of 3.8, see they are not that far apart.

But DA 2 with 83 vs 4.0 that is way apart.


Imho, it all comes down to expectation. For someone that doesn't follow the forums, if he ever played a Obsidian game in their life, they'd know it'll come out as a buggy unfinished mess with brilliant idea and superb writing. On the other hand, the difference between DA:O and DA2 is so obvious that the casual gamer who followed previous Bioware title just might feel that sense of betrayal.


Slapping a 0 on a game as a user review just reeks of "butthurt I am going to show them attitude".

Can you honestly say that the game is so FN bad that it is worse than anything that has ever been made.
Is the game so buggy that you can't start it? Do you see my point.

If the game is not as good as you think DA:O was, it hardly makes that jump to 0.
I can see how people would then give it a 5.0 or so as for a "mediocre" game score, that is not good praise either.

This is just plain overreacting and lashing out like kids.
Sure you might not like the story or that it lacks ISO view, but giving a game a score of 0 means that it is broken, that it's super buggy and you can't even start it, that EVERY single thing is so horried that it is a 0.

This is simply not true.

This is why user review/scores don't account for much:

It is either a perfect 10 or a horrible 0 for most reviews.

Yep.

Hey, X-Play gave it a 3 out of 5. They were crazy about ME2, they named DA:O RPG of the year in 2009, so why do you think they rated it 3 out of 5? Maybe they gave their honest opinion or maybe the swag bag didn't clear customs?

Quit having buyers remorse, the game is not as good as they promised it would be.

The actual number is completely irrelevant. They are just sharing their displeasure in the only way that people will take notice, by nuking a metacritic score.

People have a bad habit of just slapping a 10 on what they like and a 0 on what they don't. I think that's why youtube moved from the 1 to 5 star system to a simpler like/dislike one.

I agree with you. Ignore the 0/10 reviews. On the flip side, ignore the 10/10 reviews as well. They tend to be just as bad.

But look at the top rated reviews on metacritc. Not all of them are 0/10, In fact, a lot of them are 4/10s and 2/10s.


Also EL OH EL at the guy who thinks France and Germany aren't part of Europe. I wanted to stay civil but reall, that is just unforgivable. I don't know how bad someone's education has to be to not know the two most famous countries in continental Europe are indeed part of Europe. Where did that guy think WW1 and WW2 took place?

If you feel insulted by this, I am sorry I didn't mean to flame you. And I am not trying to dismiss your posts, what I am trying to tell you is that while you may view this as a valid point worthy of attention - ultimately the debate that it spawns is completely pointless, because everyone will walk away with their own opinion.

On a more general note, I'd say that the most reliable source of a review for myself is my own expirience with a game, and I believe that this is true for most people, so arguing about it and making conspiracy theories is kinda useless.



Maybe its because his points are valid?

Do you think all negatives about DA2 are made by immature little brats?

Not everyone is enjoying DA2. So far, about 6 hours in, id give it a 4.5 out of 10, im not enjoying the game at all. So far. Im not going to officialy rate the game till i finish it.

I know people overreact.
/v/ raid or not, the only other game I know of that received such a bad user rating , WAS a part of raid in scores was MW2 for PC, people went to Amazon and did all they could to make it look bad.
It sits at a 3.8 compared to 3.0 for DA2.
I honestly can see how someone can think it was some raid of super-overreacting going on when it comes to DA2.

How do you get tricked into buying this game?
Last time I checked it had a FN DEMO!!!!

That demo showed what to expect and then one can also wait for a day and read the reviews.
But I guess all the 16 PC reviews are consequently paid off by the EA conspiracy going on huh?

It's just BULL!

People that feel the game is so bad that they want to punch puppies, wouldn't have bought it in the FIRST place after playing the demo.

The game isn't EASY on hard or nightmare, it just doesn't have an ISO view and the action is faster.
It is such overreacting it is silly.

Bull. They started making excuses as soon as the Demo hit. They said it was an "Old Build". The game is just like the demo, so therefore I think there was some chicanery afoot. No different then a guy conning a woman into a breast exam by saying "It's ok, I'm a doctor." Except Bioware bent us over with out even a decent reach around.

I know about the demo, you know about the demo, because we visit gaming news site/forum regularly, I highly doubt the more casually gamers even care enough to try out the demo, especially when people have faith in the quality of Bioware's product. Not to mention all the promises Bioware made just prior to the release. Auto-attack on console, detachable camera for both console and PC, I can see why some people who react so violently to the game if they had no prior exposure to DA2 before they bought the game.

Yeah, and if you USE your head then you would quickly realize that the user score wouldn't sit at 3.0 for PC if you disregard all the 0 scores.

So we are to accept the 3.0 over all score but not the 0's making it so? Strange new world this is.

Those scores probably doesn't represent most players.
Just like when you go to a forum you see more whiners than praisers, for a simple reason the people happy are playing the game instead of raping scores on every single site they can find.

This game might be a "step down" from DA:O many PC critic reviewers has said so but atleast they can also recognize the game for what it is as well.
I hardly think they are all paid off.

This is a game it is a CHOICE to buy it or not, but people think they are somehow entitled to a game exactly the way they want it.
If you don't like it don't buy it and move one, don't be a chump/child and rant and rave how the "gaming industry is so whack and gone are the good ole rpg's cry stories".

Yes there are less of the old school ones out now and this DA2 was moved away from that in a way, no doubt.
But it hardly means the game itself is so horrendous.

/v/ raid this and that I don't care about or flat out believe, but clearly it is just a bunch of overexaggerating people taking the time to trash the game more than it deserves.

That is just my point of view.
Just as the OP says don't believe talks about it being a /v/ raid, I say the same as don't believe the user scores either cause clearly they are out of balance and semblance or reality.


Addendum:

I am a longtime PC player from at least back to 1997, I don't play consoles and I LOVE RPG games, cause of the value and usually more game time and depth etc.
I have never been much into turn-based RPG games or games that require a pause for EVERY SINGLE ACTION.
So let it be known that THIS PC player doesn't mind the action of this game, and I can clearly see it still warrants pause play in higher difficulty.

I am fairly certain that I am not alone in this view and as a PC gamer, then again I haven't bothered to rush to Metacritic to slap my score on the game either.
So as you can see, people that like it or at least somewhat enjoy the game just play it instead.

I didn't insinuate anything. I used it as an example of one of the reviews in Europe. I can find more French reviews if you want.

And Jeuxvideo is huge. Its one of the biggest European gaming websites. They are like Famitsu in Japan.

It's most likely EA forcing innocent BW employees to make these statements. I highly doubt BW would voluntary lie to the masses.

I'd like to point out that reviews are rarely 'bought' in the sense of someone approaching a reviewer and offering money. It is simply bad policy to ****** off an advertisement client. Not to mention a source of early previews and junkets.

Yeah, and if you USE your head then you would quickly realize that the user score wouldn't sit at 3.0 for PC if you disregard all the 0 scores.

So we are to accept the 3.0 over all score but not the 0's making it so? Strange new world this is.

Those scores probably doesn't represent most players.
Just like when you go to a forum you see more whiners than praisers, for a simple reason the people happy are playing the game instead of raping scores on every single site they can find.

This game might be a "step down" from DA:O many PC critic reviewers has said so but atleast they can also recognize the game for what it is as well.
I hardly think they are all paid off.

This is a game it is a CHOICE to buy it or not, but people think they are somehow entitled to a game exactly the way they want it.
If you don't like it don't buy it and move one, don't be a chump/child and rant and rave how the "gaming industry is so whack and gone are the good ole rpg's cry stories".

Yes there are less of the old school ones out now and this DA2 was moved away from that in a way, no doubt.
But it hardly means the game itself is so horrendous.

/v/ raid this and that I don't care about or flat out believe, but clearly it is just a bunch of overexaggerating people taking the time to trash the game more than it deserves.

That is just my point of view.
Just as the OP says don't believe talks about it being a /v/ raid, I say the same as don't believe the user scores either cause clearly they are out of balance and semblance or reality.

If you read my post you'd see that this isn't about numbers. READ THE REVIEWS. Don't just look at a number.

Anyone who thinks /v/ is behind the wofeul metacritic scores DA2 is getting has no concept of either /v/, 'raids', or metacritic itself.

That 3/10 everyone's giving your game, BioWare? That's genuine, honest community feedback. Take it on board.


Agreed I don't think there is any foul play there. I took a look and it all seems genuine. Not to mention sad as it may be 3/10 is about as much as I would give it too.

I have played the demo, and I don't like the direction they are taking with this series.

It's a good game, but not what I expect out of a BioWare RPG. I won't be getting DA 2, or at least until it is at a discount price and have nothing else to play.

And "Yes", I am a PC gamer that is not very happy about DA:2
