Yea, skip one of the greatest games of this year and a better game than the original.
Skip a fantastic combat system.
Skip some of the best characters.
Skip a unique TT-like plot.
Skip a bridging to the rest of the franchise.
Skip a hugely entertaining product that grabbed me more than DA:O ever could.
Skip all that, because clearly it sucks...
Skip repeated areas
Skip no repercussions on choice
Skip a flat, disjointed storyline
Skip mindless hack n slash
Skip a mindnumbing product no where near the status of DA:O
Skip spending your money on a subpar game that EA loyalists and fanboys are claiming "the best ever".
Lol. Repeated areas are expected when they rushed the game into a 2 year development cycle to please the impatient kiddies like you that could never wait 5 years for another DA:O amount of development. You need to research things before you bash areas they had to cut corners in. If you wanted to wait a couple more years, you would have complaining about that. You can't please everyone.
There are many choices, and while there are not as many repercussions as I would like; this is Hawke's story. It is different from Origins in that we have less choices because we living the story/memory of somebody else. It is bridging to Dragon Age 3.
A flat disjointed storyline? How as it even remotely flat? I almost cried at a few parts. It was so emotional, and so unpredictable. It was like a TT. That is to say, fantastic. Better than the DA:O "Oh no, a bad guy betrayed a good guy, let's go raise an army to kill the bad guy." How is that story even remotely good? It's basically the EXACT same story as ME2, and not very unique in the slightest. DA2 is risky in the fact that it isn't about taking down a person or organization, but rather sets up the contextual background in the state of Thedas. If you looked into it more than you are, you'd understand these things.
Mindless hack-n-slash? Lol! The combat is so much more fun that DA:O's boring, slow-paced sleep fest that WAS the combat. The game was great, but the combat made you want to fall asleep. Now it is fun, and each class is a blast to play whereas before Mage was the only close I had a remote amount of fun in. You need to reevaluate your platform on this one.
Mindnumbing product? It was emotional, unpredictable, excellent story telling, excellent characters, the combat was improved over Dragon Age: Origins immensely, it held me and grabbed me until I finished, and it bridged an excellent story to unfold in DLC and DA3. This was well worth the cost, and I'd pay $100 to have a blast playing a game like this gain. You must have been in the wrong mindset, because this was a significantly satisfying entertainment product which i will continue to play until the next installation of the series comes out; be that DLC, expansions, or until DA3. I can't wait.
What is $60, haha? For the price of going to a movie 4-5 times, you can have a lot more than 10ish hours of entertainment. It's a huge money saver for entertainment. Because a game is good and people fail to acknowledge the pros because they make a big deal about minor cons it does not make them a loyalist or fanboy. Because this is now one of my favorite games, it makes me a fanboy? Are you delusional?
Anything else you wanted to talk about today, kind sir?
