Many are praising Brad's honesty and integrity. I agree with them. 

Discuss.

EDIT: READ THE WHOLE REVIEW before posting. Don't just look at the score and fanboy flame it.

many people praise psychos and cults as well point being? people can be wrong just like his opinion a 2.5 is a score left for games unplayable, broken, bugged beyond belief, full of crashes etc. that review you posted is idiotic and brainless. just saying

Where is the score?  I see comments that mention a 2.5 score, but I don't see it anywhere on the page.

I swear it's not my eye prescription this time!

What planet are you from?

The score is harsh, but the words carry great meaning and depth. Read them, then read the comments. Many people agree with the review.

For some odd reason, the text for the rating is all the same colour as the bg. Search the page for 2.5 and then you will see it. If you highlight the sentence you will see:

Rating: 2.5 out of 10.

Don't look at the score--read the review. The review is dead on. The score is just a number that's tacked on--it doesn't mean a thing.

It's hardly idiotic or brainless. Nearly every topic he hit on was accurate.. Granted DA2 didn't deserve a 2.5, but he makes a  ton of sense in his review, and his outlook is very understandable. Did you even read the whole thing?

[Vormaerin]

*laughs* I might give that kind of score to the various games that are released and just don't work, period. But a game that works quite well? I might as well go play Call of Duty and give it a 2 out of 10, because I just don't like that kind of game.

A game needs to be seriously dysfunctional for an honest reviewer to give it a score that low.

Changed the OP to try and stop fanboy flaming

I'M SORRY THAT YOUR ATTENTION SPAN DEMANDS HIS ENTIRE REVIEW BE SUMMED UP IN A NUMBER.

Try reading the review. It's dead on.

Oh, you're right; it's there near the end.  How strange.

Well, I agree with many, perhaps most of his substantive comments, but his tone seems angry and I don't understand how his comments warrant a 2.5/10 score.  Still, I'm fairly confident he at least played the game, unlike certain other reviewers.

I wish he had explained why he felt that BW "crippl[ed] the strategy element for consoles" even for DAO.  I definitely agree combat did not lend itself to tactical play very well, though.

[DarkSpiral]

I read the whole review.  I cannot argue with some of his complaints.  That having been said, the score is ridiculous.

2.5? He's getting PAID for scoring a game that low, which mechanically works well? 2.5 is score that belongs to games that are b-r-o-k-e-n. I'd understand a 4 ort 5 out of 10.

And I completely disagree with the opinion of the companions. They're every bit as well written as DA:O.

If you read the article the reviewer plainly explains that his ire is just as much the state of the game as it is his expectation of what BioWare normally puts out.  He rated it unusually low to get that point across.

It's silly, but then so is rating the game 94 two weeks before the game comes out only to have the average dip into the 70s 3 weeks after release (coughPCGamercough).

[sonofalich]

"...but the battles are distasteful, tedious chores that wear away at a sane person's patience." completely agree with this but the game isn't 2.5/10 bad, well not for me at least.

[Zzgashi]

Usually a score that low is reserved for games that are unplayably buggy. He has lots of legitimate complaints in the written review, but overall he comes across as very butthurt. Did a Bioware employee insult him?

[akayasha]

Hmm, I read the review I agree with some points, but I feel like he was just really mad. A lot of what he said are just what everyone else is complaining about. If he tried to at least set an open mind about the game, it might have gotten a better score. Everyone expected it to be like Origins 2, but it's not. If the game was made by a different company and was not a "sequel" (or if everyone just judged it without expectations), it would have gotten less hate. I know a lot of people wil disagree with my opnions and it does have many, many flaws, but the 2.5 seemed like a score based off less reasoning and more anger and disapointment in my opinion.

So, in other words, he isn't rating the game, he's rating his reaction to it.  My incerdulity that he gets pair for that level of unprofessionalism stands.  I have no respect for someone that is supposed to be reviewing something ( a movie, a game, whatever) and essentially writes a blog instead.

You are right, of course, with the comparison to PCGamer.  It's the other end of the extreme.

[Cutlass Jack]

Wasn't a very good review. And that score tells me he's not very competant as a professional reviewer. 2.5/5 sure. 2.5/10? The game should barely be able to run.

By completely ignoring the parts that were done right, it made the whole thing just read like another biased rant we could read right here on the forums.

[Namevah]

Hm. I disagree with him, but I see, for the most part, where he's coming from.

[Gyre]

It's kinda like how I rated FFXII as a 4 against the rest of the games in the series, but as a game in general it probably deserved an 8 or so. He's just trying to make it clear that he expected a whole lot more from Bioware.

All I get from this post is "I just looked at the score and decided his review sucked"

STOP READING SO MUCH INTO THE SCORE. LOOK AT THE REVIEW. HE'S RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.

[Harmless Crunch]

I'm shocked DA2 may be one of BioWare's weakest games but still 2.5!
The reviewer obviously doesn't play many other games........

[MeatInACan]

I think that the majority of his points are dead on. I too was incredibly disappointed by pretty much every aspect of the game.

[1varangian]

2.5 sounds like a score from an insulted fan of Dragon Age.

If I reviewed DA2 I would be tempted to give it a 1 while it rightfully deserves a 6 or 7 out of 10.

Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't play other games as a VIDEO GAME REVIEWER.

Are you even serious?

I can't believe people are so fixated on the number, when his review is so perfect.
