Ah. No, bundling it with ME2 isn't a way to boost sales of DA2 (although if it does that's a bonus), it is a way to increase sales of ME3. They're hoping that people who play the DA series but not the ME series will play the free copy of ME2, like it, and buy ME3.

[Fhaileas]

^I would venture that it's PR for both actually: boost both DA2 and ME3 sales (by recruiting new customers).

[silver-crescent]

Exactly, and it helps ship some ME2 DLCs as well, since the free downloadable game is completely vanilla.

You're missing the point. It's not about DA2 selling well on 4/5, it's about it having passed the 1 million mark earlier than what the vgchartz numbers seem to indicate.

Anyway, a quick look at a handful of retailers shows that DA2 currently is selling for the same price as Crysis 2, another EA game which just came out less than 2 weeks ago, so I wouldn't worry too much.

That is the point though. BioWare is trying to spin something negative into something positive by acting as if Dragon Age II is outperforming Dragon Age: Origins. While this most likely held true for the first week due brand recognition and other factors it just doesn't add up when you look at the current situation.

And your second point only applies to the PC version of Crysis 2 which has most likely suffered from bad sales.

What negative? Oh, don't believe the garbage that DA2 isn't selling well. That's silly talk and no vgchartz proves nothing since a) it's absed on random guessing and it shows DA2 selling well.

R00fles!

It's a common term among trolls and serves no purpose but to show everyone that they're trolling.

You talk silly talk. If someone says something you don't like, you go on offensive against them claiming they don't know anything/are retarded haters. You seem to so blindly defend everything this game is related to to the point where it meets the criterias to be a "fanboy". Your urge to defend everything DA2 related with that attacking attitude is completely uncomprehendable to me.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. But I don't like you and  you don't like me, so it's all right.

I wasn't refering to Amazon.co.uk in specific though. I looked at Amazon.com, Play.co.uk, Game.co.uk and a handful of others. But even at Amazon.co.uk, the difference is very negligleable, especially for the PC and PS3 versions.

I know and Crysis 2 is only ten dollars off on amazon.com as part of a temporary deal. This hardly compares to twenty euro which places Dragon Age II squarely in the bargain bin zone. For a supposed AAA title which is less than a month old you have to admit that this is highly peculiar. Especially if it's performing as well as EA and BioWare would have us all believe.

Read my review of the game ebfore you make the false claim that i think DA2 is perfect. I don't blindly defend anything but the blind haters on the other hand...


"But I don't like you and you don't like me, so it's all right."

I don't dislike you. I don't even know you. You think I dislike people simply ebcause they dislike a game I like? L0LZ That's hialrious. But, you just admitted to dislking me because I like a game you seem not to. That's really.. weird.

It's video games. Who cares if someone likes (diislikes) a game you dislike (like)?

Good fun!

I believe someone already brought up the point that given the much shorter development time the fact that it's selling around the same as Origins makes it a relative success so far.

What are you talking about? DA2 selling for 20 euro or having a 20 euro discount? Either way what retailer is doing that anyway?

Yes because Bioware wouldn't stretch the truth and lie to their consumers for PR purposes.
Oh wait they did it with autoattack, securom, implying they sold 2.2 million copies of ME2 in first week, when they just shipped that many, crap like that 6.6 million sold press release. Know I'm forgetting something else.

How's that Princess?

"Yes because Bioware wouldn't stretch the truth and lie to their consumers for PR purposes"

Your point? We're talking vgchartz. BIO could lie all theyw ant but that still doesn't change the fact that those numbers are not believeable because they are made up.

It's ok, little girl, don't you cry because momma gonna buy you a mocking bird.

They never said they had sold 2.2 million copies, just moved ie shipped. People just like to look at the titles without actually reading the content.

And I'm pretty sure the 6.6 millions didn't have anything to do with EA/BW, it was just a misquote from some random gaming site.

Killzone3 has actually popped above Crysis2 at the places I shop from. I'lll hold off a bit more and buy one rather than waste £7 on a rental. I quite like the look of Crysis2 but only being interested in the SP bit, it's not really worth a full price purchase.

he thinks any critisism or dislike of da2 or such must come from 4hcan and rpg codex?

[Volourn]

"Anyways, I want sources for that.... Has there been an incident where vgchartz been discredited?"

Not discredited. They're upfront on how they come up with their numbers.


"Calm down everyone. "

I am calm sititng at my computer eating my KD and drinking my soda while disucssing a video game. It's all cool.


"What proof you have that they are made up ? You got the audited reports of sales of DA2 ? Yeah

Just trust me. That's all i ask. Is there no longer trust in this world?



"he thinks any critisism or dislike of da2 or such must come from 4hcan and rpg codex?"

Nah. Look at whatb he called me. The only palce that refers to me as that is the Codex. It's a term of endearment/flaming. If he's not from the Codex it's a might big coincdence.

As for 4chan, I never go there and know nothing about them.

Plenty of people dislike DA2 and have nothing to do with codex. *shrug*

I think so. Sounds like some foaming at the mouth fanboy who thinks everyone who doesn't like the game is trolling and from rpg codex or 4chan. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I have just started playing playing Crysis2. (NOTE - I am new to crysis franchise , it is a sci-fi kind of shooter and I am liking it , it is simple not much fuss. The graphics are not sure good or bad since I have to really play on low res as my graphic card seem to be a bit outdated for this game .... the point about Crysis2 with respect to DA2 worth noticing is that fan reaction of Crysis2 isnt even remotely as critical as DA2.

Crysis 2 fans are also saying its dumbed down, a bit bland to please more console players but still they say it is a good game.Most of them like its MP which looks like a deal breaker for shooters... these days
