 Ok 1st of I know why many people disliked DA2 but I very much enjoyed it I only had 2 real criticisms and only one of them is major the rest of the game was brilliantly done and was well thought out like the action was more involving than DA: Origins, graphics better, great voice acting, good humour, well scripted, the story was very good and the characters were amazing probably one of the best set of bioware characters yet.

But my criticisms were the recycled maps and the ending which felt abit last minute. Which I know why in real life why they did it which was simply you could not end it further on or it DA3 or DA2.5 will feel disjointed at the start.

and the recycled maps made it feel very repetitive when in real life it was not actually it was just the maps were all too familiar.

Overall I do say well done bioware on dragon age 2 but just make sure you do not do map recycling so much and satisfy the fans who like the heavy strategies in RPGs (which I am not one of those i am more into the dialogue than planning how to fight)

Lots of people love the game.

It's just that the complainers are louder than the fans.

The Bioware boards are not a good place for fans of the game. I've seen mixed reviews everywhere, but nothing like the foaming hatred that's been on display here. I'll message you with a site where they have civil discussions about games, and people don't spend a lot of energy peeing on each other's fun.

Um, just the complainers?  If you can't see some of the glaring flaws in DA2, then you are the "target" fanbase that Bioware was trying to reach.

I could list the ways Bioware screwed up, but you can just read the majority of threads to understand why it is a horrible game.  If you liked it good for you.  But don't say that it is just "complainers" who are vocal.

oh no sweetie, you aren't alone! And no one is a freak or some such nonsense for loving it. There are plenty of like minded folks in your camp! *hug*

Most of the people who love the game are busy playing with it I imagine, except for geeks like me who play on one monitor and read/research on the other :D I have had my share of criticisms too, but I am enjoying it for what it is now, and learning a great deal in the process about what makes games fun for me. =) But you aren't the odd one out, really. There is a wide array of vocalizers here, on each side of the fence. =D

I wish I could do that! I am about to jump off the forum and go play my mage.:)

You play on console. No wonder you like DA2. Bioware's exact target audience.

And nope. Not alone. Though admitting you like it might get some people trying to insult you in truly sad ways. Like attempting to imply you have lower standards for playing on a console or somesuch. Whups, too late.

Dragon Age II was a nice game. It's story, and level design were really its only major flaws. I mean it wasn't the greatest game I've played this year, but I had fun with it. I might even play it again right now. I mean some people are sensible with their dislike/disapproval of the game to the point where it is more of a constructive criticism.

Combat is much more entertaining this time.

Glad to know that you're enjoying the game. Sure, it's got its flaws and there are many of them. The game's been bashed left and right by critics, both constructively (thank you) and destructively (screw you), so the choices left for folks to make are basically to get over it and (1) get rid of it, or (2) enjoy it.

So, keep playing to your heart's content. =)

Nothing wrong with enjoying DA 2.

Only spiteful people will resent you for enjoying a game that you bought with your own money. It's your game and no one else's. If you enjoy it, that's a good thing. Let no one take that away from you.

However, many people didn't. And that is the issue.

Even fans of the game can objectively see that there are major flaws with the game. You yourself brought one up: re-used environments.

Dragon Age 2 is neither the worst or best game out there. It does have it's good moments. Just focus on those while playing and you should be fine.

@wowpwnslol
You sound like a bitter troll, especially considering all you do is go around this forum attacking people for liking the game.

No offense, but is English your first language?  What you said makes no sense.  Maybe it's a language barrier.

To complain is to vocalize dissatisfaction.  People who dislike the game are more likely to vocalize their dissatisfaction.  Therefore, they are louder.  People who like the game are less likely to continuously voice their praise.

Anyway, the critics are obviously fewer but louder than the fans.

I'm sure I am only one of many that enjoyed DA2, but it was the best game I have ever played. The plot was the only major subject that I wanted improvement on.

DA2 is not the most horrible game compared to many games out there, but it is the most disappointing sequel I've ever played.
Again, there's nothing wrong with enjoying DA2.

The way you phrased your two posts kind of irks me. I consider myself a fan, but I disliked the DA2. And I have posted in the past about it. It should read fans of this game, but it comes out like those who complain are not considered fans at all. Which I'm sure you didn't mean to do.

I've played a little of a friend's copy. It takes getting used to but I sort of like it. Not as much as DAO, but I bet I'd get annoyed at having to revisit places so much. That annoyance wouldn't stop me from playing.

In a way, I'm going to approach it like this is a totally different game. No point in comparing it too much to DAO since so much gameplay-wise was changed.

Wisest approach quite honestly. My biggest hurdle in this game was to wrap my mind around the concept of not playing it like Origins.

Oh well just ignore the failing sales, the price of DA2 that is cheaper then DA:O at many places, and on and on.

Then yea what you said would be right.

Bascially, Derp.

I enjoyed the game. I was on the verge of drugging the spouse to get access to the PC to finish it. lol

I just didn't love it. It didn't have a lot of staying power for me. If you liked it, that's great. I have high hopes for the DLC and the next one.
