sorry that's [nonsense], we have always and will always judge games in manner where we compare them with games that came before them, and that's a good thing this encourages progress, evolution and results ultimately in better games.
No swearing, please.
I would agree wtih you to a point, Teredan. Progress is only encouraged when we get honest feedback about what worked and didn't work. Reactionary hysteria, frequent insults and name-calling, and the constant negativity from the "I told you so" crowd, is not honest feedback and tends to not help anyone. Neither are negative reviews the only "honest" feedback. Unfortunately, the internet has a way of polarizing opinions. Moderate views and opinions are often shouted down by the increasingly vocal extremes, who hope that the frequency and volume of their posts drown out those who don't agree. Heck, we've even seen people being shouted down who simply don't agree
enough with a particular viewpoint.
Many of the criticisms of DA2 stem from how different the game is than DA:O. If this is the case you wish to support, isn't it counterproductive to complain about aspects of a game that is different from its predecessor? Evolution of games can't happen if things stay the same all the time.
Not everyone has the same noble goal as you do (ie. to encourage better games). Many only want what is a better game
for them, and some are content just to see the "big, bad, soulless corporate monolith' get is comeuppance, and that's where a lot of the yelling comes into play.
