Considering Bioware's previous lowest CRITIC Metacritic score is 89/100, a CRITIC score of 82/100 on Metacritic is poor by a considerable margin. It's less than Final Fantasy XIII. I don't see how arguing about the user scores changes this; it seems to simply be a way for people who liked Dragon Age II to change the subject from 'it did badly critically on metacritic' to 'the user reviews are fake', when that isn't even the main issue.
There is a difference between a mediocre-to-good game and the crime against gaming that userscores on metacritic suggest. It's not so much that DA2 wasn't Bioware's worst game (it was), or that it was a mediocre game (IMO, it was), it's that it was better than such hit titles as: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, with features like:
From gamespot:
"Big Rigs is a game so astoundingly bad that it manages to transcend nearly every boundary put forth by some of gaming's absolute worst of the worst and easily makes it into that dubiously extraordinary category of being one
of the most atrocious games ever published."
"The supposedly computer-controlled truck you're supposed to be racing against in the game
never actually moves. It's right there next to you at the beginning of a race, but it has no purpose in the game. This is to say, actually, that none of the game's races have a purpose because there's no competition and no time limit. "
"Of course, the controls would only matter if you actually had to worry about running into things or crashing your truck, which, actually, is a nonissue. You see, you can clip your truck right through
every object on a race course in Big Rigs, from the biggest of houses and walls, right down to the smallest of lampposts"
From users:
"Ok, I'll honestly give this is 1 since they put some shred of effort into making this game, since it did involve the copying of the game files from a computer to a disk. However, the rest of it is garbage, garbage, more garbage, and a place in my memory as the worst game of all time"
"Utterly atrocious. The only reason why I didn't give it a zero was because it was so bad it was funny. No AI, no collision detection, no physics, no sound, and everything else that there IS in this game is just laughable. "
The user score is 4.1 DA2's is 4.2 Something is not right here. It has 361 ratings.
Compare that to some DA2 reviews (all 0s or 1s):
"mass effect with swords. the game is so horrid its not even worth my time to write a review about it."
"Boring, boring and boring ... Can't even compare it to DA:O not to mention BioWare's older RPG games.Incredible disappointment. No much more to say. "
"A slap in the face for fans of DA:O, seriously where did they get the idea to main the masterpiece that DA:O was into this piece of filth. Everything's dumbed down and simplified, what on earth were they thinking. Don't buy this game, buy DA:O instead. "
"How the mighty have fallen.Bioworse does it again.Making a really great game, then completely destroying the sequel. Where do we even start with this? Dragon Effect II stars Hawke, a faceless human only hero."
