Bunch of nonsense. Clearly a troll account.

I seriously doubt thats a Bioware employee. Why do people automatically jump to the conclusion that a negative review implies Bioware wrote it? Feel like I'm missing something here. Though it looks good, I highly doubt TW2 will be GOTY anyway. It won't be awarded it from any meaningful source anyhow. Bethesda have way more money than CDProjekt. Skyrim may/may not be better than TW2, but I don't think that'll come into it much.

Anyways, I've just opened it up, taken a look some of the graphics... looks awesome btw (on high settings), but I don't think I'll play until Friday or the weekend.

This looks like a game that I'm going to try and play non stop. I'd rather not do that during the week. So I'll finish the prologue then... through my superior willpower, stop until Friday. If I can...

Hey Ali, why don't you try this Tidus vid?

I will! And i'm getting the CE after work.

Digital Premium off GoG for me. I'm Aussie, and not only was the price not jacked up since I pre-ordered in February (lol), I still get the full version.

Plus Gothic 2 Gold Edition.

So basically, I got two excellent games for $45 when Dragon Age 2 still sells for $80 retail here. I also picked up GoG versions of Planescape: Torment and Arcanum just because I could.

4 quality games - 3 classics and 1 brand new for $60 overall.

<3 GoG.

As for the review, I think it's just a die hard fanboy myself, not an employee. Would they be THAT stupid?

But obviously the stigma is still there after the Avanost incident.

Their past track record.

No, it just sucks to be an Australian gamer.

I went to EB Games the other day and Dragon Age 2 was still $80.

Prices are un-naturally high for our games despite our strong dollar currency.

[Gleym]

Especially sucks for you guys, Crusty, because your version has a jacked up price despite being censored.

I pre-ordered in Feb. No censor and no jacked up price.

I didn't pay until today, so I was expecting the $60-ish dollars. But they kept to my $45 pre-order.

That exrta $15 went to second copies of PS:T and Arcanum.

Well someone might be trying to incriminate BioWare, but it's still funny nonetheless. As if written by Lacklaw himself.

[Fallstar]

I'm guessing that some Bioware employee wrote a negative review about the first Witcher? I don't really follow the Witcher, so i wouldn't know.

[MassFrost]

Seems like an incredibly successful troll to me. I can't really see how someone can legitimately hate on TW2 without playing it when all it's trying to do is return RPGs to the level of quality they were once known for.

lol, if you go to my local Gamestop DA2 costs around 449 Kr. I live in Sweden, BTW.

Lol, that's still ~$10 cheaper. But yeah, pretty overpriced. I'd consider Dragon Age 2 now to be worth something like $20.

A Bioware employee was caught writing a perfect review of Dragon Age 2 was posing as a player.

People are obviously paranoid and quick to jump to conclusions, but with M(eredith) Stannard's 0 rating of The Witcher 2 and double 10s for Dragon Age 2, people like pointing fingers.

I just think it's some butthurt Bioware fan, myself.

Ahaha, this is fantastic. BioWare employee or loyal fan, I can't wait to see what happens with this thread.

So ready to play TW2 when my disc arrives tomorrow, and forget my wallowing sorrows at DAII.

[Perles75]

(I got my DA2 at 18€ from g2play...)

This system of user reviews is useful if taken in the right way. Unfortunately there are many people that exploit the anonymity of the internet to post whatever crap it comes into their mind, and especially for games that polarized the community like DA2 (which does not deserve at all the 4.3 the site indicates - the 7.3 of Gamespot makes much more sense).
It's also completely stupid to bash a game just because your favourite was bashed before.

P.S.: I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy both games.

If you look at his user score, he reviewed Witcher 2 first then did DAII PC, then DAII Xbox. Defientitly someone who is unnaturally obsessed with DAII. Who do we know here that fits that description?

Edit: My mistake.  By Date he did the DAII reviews first then the Witcher II.  Still, considering that those are his only reviews and uses a bashing review of the Witcher 2 to bolster up DAII, it's still "unnaturally obsessive".

Haha, I was just about to create a topic about this.

Could be another Bioware employee - though presumably would have left a few less bread crumbs this time...

At any rate, any metacritic user who gives either 0/10's or 10/10's should be ignored utterly as they are trolling.

If it is a Bioware employee, I hope they remove it.  It does rather scream of utter desperation, and makes me want to do nothing more than ignore Dragon Age 2 and play The Witcher 2.

I'am not surprised after seeing threads like this
to all the people that loved DA2: LETS FIX THE METACRITIC USER SCORE
and i doubt M_Stannard is a Bio employee.

[Corto81]

Look to the masters at BioWare with their latest RPG epic, Dragon Age 2, for inspiration in your future games, CD Project.

BWahahhahahhaaahaahaahahahahhahaha!

This guy....

Oh god...

Thanks for the laugh.


I hope the guy who wrote that dribble loses his car keys in a sewer.

Huh, I was just about to make a topic on this, glad to see that it's already been done. I would have used a different topic, though. 'Desperate Much, Bioware?' I mean, this is really pathetic and just reeks of lack of confidence. Now, not only do they create a lackluster product, but they show their hand at being scared little boys by attacking a game that's not even theirs? People were comparing Dragon Age 2 to The Witcher 2 all throughout production and I guess it's finally caught up to them. They're scared ****less. Personally, if I had an employee that made my company look bad (because that's essentially what this is) I'd fire him.
