This game does not deserve spending money to buy it. I suggest that you play the demo, look around for some constructive critisism and please ignore the BioWare fanboys calling it a masterpiece. It's just not possible for SO many people to bash the game in every site, forum and store user review.

This game is mediocre at best. If you are a gamer, you surely have played MUCH MUCH better games than DA2.
At the very least, buy it if you find it ultra cheap. I am {was?} a BioWare fanboy but after this fiasko I'll be very careful about their future releases because I don't recognize the company that I once liked anymore. :(

Skip. And be wary about ME3, too. Looks as if quality may be taking a back seat to getting the game out super quick.

According to the reviews, the people that hate DA2 are a minority.

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".

Do not skip this.
Yes it has flaws.
ALL games have flaws.
But, IMO, its story was more personal then DAO ever could be.

Honestly, I never thought I would be saying this, but skip it. There are hardly any repercussions from Dragon Age: Origins, which was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to play DA2, because it "shaped the world"... shaped the world, give me a break, a couple lines of voice acting morelike

Oh yeah, the story is dull in comparison, the DLC is 15 minutes long. It's a shame, but just wait for a compilation edition or a price drop, trust me

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?

I'd go with a common suggestion in here. Wait for Ultimate Edition.

If you're looking for a newer, better and cleaner version of Dragon Age: Origins. Then skip it. While this game doesn't suck, it sucks because it's got the title Dragon Age, which is being associated with Origins, which was masterfully done. 

My qualm is the fact your imported save means jack ****. All the game does is make reference to it, nothing more. And they lied when they said it would greatly influence your game. 

My only other issue (asides a multitude of battle // skill // balance) is I can't personally get into the story. It's ****ing BORING. Not to mention, 14 seconds into the first cutscene, it's basically foreshadowed the end of the game.

*slow clap* Nice job Bioware.

I say ignore it. Especially if it's PC since it's broken and you can't even run it on good graphics. I'd much rather buy ALL the DLC (which I have) for DA:O and replay it over and over (which I do) and test out different classes // party combinations and story choices. 

My personal recommendation overall ::

If you liked DA:O and want another DA:O style//feel game, ignore this. All DA2 is, is an over glorified, over hyped hybrid piece of **** of Scared 2 and Diablo 3. (one of those isn't even out! but basing it on the dungeon running).


*slow clap* Nice job reusing the same dungeon 100 times Bioware. Well done.

Excuse me?

Do you have something to say, or do you always indirectly refer to somebody you quote as "some people" and then not say what you have to say?

Buy it now, it's an amazing game.

Superior to DA:O in almost every way, I dare to say.

And what in the heck is that supposed to mean? Do you always make personal attacks and be rude to people you don't know? Your parents didn't teach you any better I'm assuming? Oh well, good thing there is a report button.

There's so many amazing games being released this year so unless you feel real confident about your wallet, while Dragon Age 2 is still a decent game, it just isn't worth it.

I for one wish that I had saved my money instead.

-in my whole DA2 playthrough I used R like 20-30 times?
-wha-?
-side quests that IMPACT main story
-I can say the same thing for every RPG
-DA:O sum up: "Some weird orcs looking fellas lead by a dragon invaded random country#563 and you got betrayed in the process by random general#635. Raise an army, boot his ass from throne and defeat the dragon."

See what I did there?
