The only thing that is desperate is the OP's need for attention in his post.

Sorry, I can't help being a jerk sometimes.

Someone already tried the link out? I did (dragonage.bioware.com/me2offer), and the page doesn't exist. Either someone at BW/EA got sloppy, or it's a fake, which seems more likely

I already did.

As I said earlier, I think this is just fake. But we'll know the true answer around 19:00, 5 April. I checked out the link in the vid and let Google translate the page. According to the translation, the "action" should start around that time.

We'll just have to wait and see. But I don't believe any of this.

Not really gloating. DA2 is crap, so we're hoping it doesn't do well so they don't do more crap like this. It's in the consumer's best interest. I've been trying to spread the word that DA2 is bad so no unfortunate person buys it thinking it's good.

You're welcome btw.


Everyone is different, everyone has different opinions, the fact you cannot respect that is rather odd. You hate the game, but someone else might like it and you should learn to respect that. 

I respect people's rights to have an opinion. I never said I don't.

Obvious fake.


If so, shouldn't this thread title be, "DAII Haters Get Desperate!"?

By your posts, one is led to believe differently.

Troll, GTFO! That there are a few haters who are trolls doesn't make us all trolls!

1. When did I call you a troll?
2. You're obviously obsessed with trolls by mentioning it three times in only two sentences.

I like how you deny gloating then end with a very condescending "your welcome".  Stay classy man.  

Personally I hope they don't take a step backwards and I've been trying to convince people who didn't like DAO to give the series another try.

Obvious fake.

Even if it's a fake, I give kudos to the good trailer. There's something sad about the fact the trailers are far better than both games...

Both good games, not great, could've been, but not. Can we just return both games and get the REAL ME2 and DA2 for free instead? You know, the games that did live up to their originals?

What you believe is irrelevant. It only matters what is. Like from your posts, which I've just noticed you replied to me in 2 threads, I can assume you're an arrogant, judgemental douche, but just because I assume that's what you're like doesn't mean it's true. Not an insult btw.

Pretty much. If it makes money, it makes money. 

You're going to tell me that BioShock being bundled with BioShock 2 is not a "desperate" bid for pre-sales?

You can hate on BioWare all you want, but it doesn't mean that other companies that do the same thing are any less "desparate" for your cash.


Key word being IF.


Yes. If.

They can't see the future.

But this discussion (and it is a good one) is suited for the Off-Topic forums, since this video is kind of fake.

Fair enough but it's because of the way you reply, you seem to hate the fact that others liked the game it practically feels like you'd take a baseball bat and bash their skulls because they liked a game you didn't. Didn't mean to offend you or anything.

Well, is the owner of that channel legit? It says Bioware Czech...

Google translation:

"BioWare has decided to reward their most loyal fans in April and has prepared a special event, where each copy of the legal owner of Dragon Age II can be completely free digital download PC version of Mass Effect 2!

For more on how to get the game in 2010, see http://bio-world.cz/?p=1358

When you click on the link it goes straight to a blog.. Again is it part of Bioware or some fanmade blog?...

That will answer if the post is real or not i guess...

Except that it is a decent game. The fact that you have issues and despise the changes, etc. is your right, but seriously, this kind of thing is a bit ridiculous. Oh, and that was a rhetorical question, so no explanation was actually necessary.

It could also easily be a localized marketing campaign limited to the Czech republic.  Until I see a reputable source on this confirming it I dont think I'll be attaching any great belief to it.

Well you didn't use the rhetorical question emoticon. So how was I suppose to know?

Yeah because we all know that big office Bioware has in the Czech republic and the Bioware logo is on that Youtube page, right?

Oh wait...they dont have a CZ office and there is no logo and the link produces a 404...hmmm.

How is this desperation?
Most of us have already bought the game anyway. This makes no difference either you were gonna get the game or not. Biowares "true fans" already have Mass Effect 2 this is irrelevent to the scheme of things its just a marketing gimmick trying to get those not sold on it.
Its hardly a desperate ploy since Bioware has no reason to be desperate.

Well, the video is obviously professionally made. Seems pretty elaborate for a fake. The rest of the channel too.

Not an april fool then ? Just ignoring that posibility for a moment, it's not a bad strategy, it's just poorly timed (less than a month after game release).
