Thanks to the similarity to English, you can make out the national and socialist part of it, so nothing to clarify here.
No, I coujld make out the words German and National, neither of which was clear as to what was meant. So, yes, clarification was needed.dumb downmake their games more accessible.

Well now I took my time to read the review properly and while he does have some good points I do not feel he quite manages to reach the level of score that the game really deserves.

That's because DAO was an amazing game, not many other games have that kind of depth anymore and that high level of interaction.
Bioware is obviously declaring war on us, to arms my brothers!
Origins was not an objectively amazing game. I thought it was amazing, but lots of people didn't. I think DAII is amazing, but lots of people don't. The issue is that on these boards, almost every tirade leveled against DAII is about how it's different from Origins.
The bottom line is that >80% of the negative opinions on BSN are not because "DAII is bad," but because "DAII is not what I expected."
[EDIT] I have to add that doesn't mean that the complaints are unfounded. I'm not dismissing negative opinions. I'm only saying that the way in which they're framed negates their value as constructive criticism.

The reviewer wrote " forced myself to play the game to completion despite wanting to quit out of disgust and boredom at least a dozen times before credits rolled, but I shouldn't have bothered."
And you keep saying he was wrong. How is that even possible?
DA2 is very bad, no, extremely bad console kiddy splatter with sex and romance cookies to appeal "mature" audience more in addition to freaking out console kiddys as they can chose dialogues from conversation wheel and watch "hawt" pirate or virginic and innocent elf speaking to them.

I never said that reviewer was bad. In fact, after having read only the quotes in the OP, I thought it was likely a very thoughtful review. I'm sure that it's exactly how he feels. But I feel differently. My point is that I'm not wrong, just as he isn't wrong. There are many actual flaws with the game, but its similarity to Origins is not an appropriate criterion fro judgment.

But like I said the problem is the features werent polished and you can clearly see it was a rushed game, even on the first playthrough. I doubt it will be the worst game of the year but it can easily hit that mark, since this game was release so early in the year.

Score is to low but it offsets the silly 100 this game got from the escapist. At least he played the whole game, unlike escapists reviewers who are only allowed roughly 4-5 hours per game.

http://www.gamecriti...n-age-ii-reviewImagine being stuck in one level with precious little exploration and most areas made up of simple hallways for twenty or thirty hours, and the unpleasantness becomes clear. Adding insult to injury, the player will see the exact same areas being recycled over and over and over and over again, further destroying any potential for Dragon Age's world to be a place of adventure and wonder. Thedas now feels boring, it feels cheap, and the developers should be ashamed of how small and sparse the environments are. The tiny number of unique areas is so absurd, it's got to be someone's idea of a joke.
Worse, every fight basically plays out the same, with players constantly mobbed by pop-in enemies. It makes even rudimentary tactical play impossible (which was the first game's problem, if you'll recall) and utterly destroys player buy-in at the same time. For example, when fighting a non-magical group of knights at a seaside, new reinforcement troops literally dropped out of the sky onto my party. I could hardly believe my eyes. From any perspective, this out-of-nowhere ambush method is a pile of steaming garbage. I don't know who approved this absurd system, but the battles are distasteful, tedious chores that wear away at a sane person's patience.
Are 4Channers hacking game sites now and publishing fake reviews? Or was it RPGCodex? Or perhaps the Trolls Liberation Force issuing yet another terrorist attack? Bush?!
