Yahtzee delivers and actually makes some legitimate points behind a stream of vulgarity that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the game exactly.

Aw man, was waiting in anticipation for him to get his hands on this. Was worried it'd be a while, like most reviews.

Maker, I love Yahtzee.

He does have a point about the meandering plot, but I think that was actually one of his softer reviews.

It is one of his softer reviews, though I had hoped he'd at least call out the guilt where it's due :|

Heh. Yeah, that's all about right.

He's brilliant in that, while I have come to love the game despite it being different from DAO to which I was zealously obsessed with and still am, I can't disagree with the things he's said. I'd give him a cookie if I knew him personally.
Wow my grammar there was just awful, apologies for any hurt eyes.

Yeah, definitely a softball review (Don't believe me? Go look at his Borderlands review), but it was still stonking hilarious.
"Dragon Age 2: Gobbing Off."
Yep, pretty much sums it up right there.

Meh, he wasn't harsh enough.
He made all the crippling issues sound funny.

I will agree that he did go too soft on the game, but he certainly touched on many of the problems that I had, and talked about the only adequate thing that I agreed with (party banter)

He hit the nail right on the head. Hopefully Bioware can learn from reviews like this.

He was right on the money, atleast plot-wise

About half of the gameplay complaints (targetting, camera, etc.) seem to be issues I don't have to deal with. Which along with the auto-attack farce makes it look like the console versions were rushed even more than the PC one. Ha!

Soft? if compared with some genuinely bad games maybe, It was much harsher than his ME2 review.
I dunno. I would have hoped he'd praise originality more than he did.

Praise originality? Ok then...
And Angry, as a console player your statement makes me weep at truth.

He hits all the points on the head. However his grievances about the plot are one of the things i like about this game. Its not an epic adventure where crazy **** happens, its rather mundane there is no over arching evil like there was in the last there is no real purpose...just like in reality different stuff happens sometimes for no good reason.

To mee, Piley, it felt more like I was doing a to do list than playing a game.

He hits the bad points rather well, he misses the good points for the most part other than a very passing comment on banter. If you are playing a BioWare game their strongest point has always been traveling companions, banter. The critique about the overall goal of the story is a tough one because most games will be slammed no matter what they do. Something unconventional without a main villain early on and you get the response he had. Go the main villain route and you are being formula.

One of his more serious reviews. He's not making fun of the game as much as he's actually telling us the truth about it.
I liked it, and the ending made me laugh.

Ive always loved Yahtzee's stuff, but it wouldn't kill him to drop a positive point every now or then. I know its not why people watch his show, but still.

He occasionally says something positive about the games he reviews. He gave a sort of back-handed compliment to DA:O. But, yeah, the DA2 review felt pretty neutral to me because he didn't totally pan it, but he didn't really say anything good about it, so I'd call that a neutral review for him.

Also, he says it's an uninspired attempt to get more cash because it's called Dragon Age II, but what is his favorite game ever? Silent Hill 2.

Closely followed by Saint's Row 2.
