@cl... dude with the funky name.

I can't come up with a theory to why the game has gotten the split reception it has. I think it's too complex, and it's something that BioWare is gonna have to pour over in a lot of detail to find out where the 'sweet spot' of dissension is.

Dragon Age II is not a bad game by any standards, but obviously it is not up to the level of expectations of what a lot of folks expected - not all but a lot -  and that could be for any number of reasons.

But I don't know of anyone on these forums who likes the game that doesn't acknowledge that it's flawed, more in some areas than in others. The problem is, not everyone can agree on what those flaws are.

BioWare's got their work cut out for them.

Edit: Maybe DA II has split the fanbase precisely because there was a Dragon Age: Origins to compare it to. If it came out as Dragon Age, the only Dragon Age game, how would people have reacted to it? It is interesting what direct comparisons of a gameplay-by-gameplay aspect of the game can bring out in some people.


I would agree with this. I don't hate DA2 it's just a huge disappointment to me compared to DAO.

Also take notice that Hawke uses the very same animation than Shepard in Mass Effect 2 when he drinks.


It was a purposeful joke. Though I still love Shep drinking through the helmets.

Seems like most of the reviews were pretty positive if not overwhelmingly so and that not just early reviews. Most of the negative reviews are just metacritic trolls whom I don't take seriously. There are very few outright negative reviews of Dragon Age II from legitimate sources.

Exactly, and then there are the hardcore RPG gamers here who keep on trying to push the game off as a failure as well.

I won't say DA2 is their most successful game but so far it doesn't look like a failure either so far.


well if the sales are legitimate your very wrong, especially since it was supposed to sell quite a lot more than it apparently has already.

Not really Dragon Age II related. Please take your conspiracy theories to our Off-Topic forum. Thank you.

End of line.
