 i found this preview on a Dutch gaming site. its still a preview because they also make a magazine, and there is quite a lag between the magazine and the site. Very positive though. It is in dutch, so you may have to use google translate or something like that.

The guy that wrote the preview didn't even play the game, it's just his expectations..

Or they could be belgians posing as dutchies D:



*puts on his tinfoil hat* The belgians...they are everywhere D:

PU isnt really , what it used to be in old days of game news quality, but the fact that they previed this game positive gives me the feeling .. these guys can still be saved. Mostly i follow foreign sites to see how good/bad a game is.

I'm Belgian actually. Not that it matters, together we did some asskicking for goodness and went down in style in Warden's Quest.



The thing is: The preview doesn't tell us anything: At that point the previewer didn't know anything we didn't know yet. It's easy to see he is hyped for this game, but so am I, and I don't need gaming magazines to tell me that the game COULD be awesome

See what did I tell you? Loopy Belgians, always going around and being our nice Southern Neighbours...Stop being so nice Belgians!

he is obviously an fan.....

Well, I read a REVIEW this morning in a computer game magazine - they (two RPG experienced game testers) actually played the complete game several times with different characters ...
Also, this CG mag I'm referring to is quite critical and objective in their analysis - so, I guess it's save to assume that it's a prette accuracte review ...
It was ... disillusioning, really.
The game is great, that's what they said, but it's FAR from perfect ... so, fanboys will love it (they always do!) and other gamers will like it. There are things better compared to other games (story, deep characters) and there are "bad" things (UI, handling of things etc. - and, surprisingly, technicall glitches).
I'm not going into details, because here are more fanboys (naturally) than other gamers and I don't want to ruin your day...
Cheers.

can't you at least say wich magazine you are talking about? "a computer gaming magazine" ain't really a good reference.

Maybe I'll post a summary this evening (I'm @ work currently and have no access to the article) and then I'll reveal the name of the CGmag ok? (but trust me, it's a serious paper and several ten-thousand gamers decide upon this mag if they buy a game or not).

[boe2]

whatever mate...I don't know why you would NOT just say the name of the magazine, but I guess I wont be going to the store after work to buy it.

[Arconi4n03]

It's pretty weird that everyone keeps throwing around things like disillusioning and reviews like this make me want the game less...when all the reviews we've seen have been in the 90 percentile range, with the lowest being 87% by a reviewer that rushed through the game but still called it one of the greatest rpgs he's played in a while.

No acces to the article but you're on this site? strange.. well whatever.
I don;t believe anything from what you're saying. From what I have seen, a lot of reviews, opinions and game material, DA:O is still awsome till proven different.
Why not just say the name.. we aren't all fanboys who are gonna cry or something.

PU.. dont take them to seriously.

They wouldnt know how to review or preview a game with some level of professionalism if it hit them in the face.

[M_arc]

as for all the dutchies & belgians some advertising: I'm the creator of the Dragon Age: Origins hyve and you're all welcome to join

[Chikkenstorm]

Oh god, not Hyves...



Anyway, the idea of a preview is - I thought, atleast - that you played like a beta version of the game. Not that you read stuff on the internet like thousands of other fans and then make a summary of that.

[boe2]

I don't know the average age here, but I am guessing that most people here are too old for Hyves 
M_arc: I wasn't going to say it out loud, but you did it anyway. I was just going to wait for his next excuse

I'm not too old for hyves, I'm just a degenerate shut in who refuses to set up a hyves account for fear of the fact that people will know that I have no friends

[M_arc]

Good point about the average age.. I didn't realise, I'm 19 but most of you baldur's gate guys have to be way old! 0__0 maybe your grandchildren can join. just kidding of course I'm sure there are people of every age around here =)



I like the PU btw and also GameKings, but from the insane ammount of sponsers it's hard to take em seriously =/ That's also my problem with GameSpot for instance. To many advertising, money ect.. I prefer the independant magazine's and websites.



@Boe2: yeah I had the same impression. It's also kinda weird for some guys to have played the entire game with multiple characters, as he states! Even the BioWare promotion guys haven't done that. Without rushing that's impossible imo. The warden's quest teams got to 16% in 24 hours and they rushed like their life was on the line!

[Haasth]

The PU has a lot of sponsors, yes. But they said so multiple times, and have proven to, to base reviews on their opinions and not on how much money they have. They have been boycott in the past by some of their previous sponsors, for giving them bad reviews.



As for Hyves... Well I suppose I am still within the age-range, but I have a distaste for all those websites.
