Eh, sounds like they're just more hung up about the bugs in the game than the rabid fanboy brigade that reside here are.



The combat is a whitewash for reasons well discussed in this forum, and saying 'No it isn't!' followed by sticking your head up your own arse doesn't constitute an argument.



Graphically it's easy to see why people criticise, While functional, the graphics in dragon age aren't ground breaking, and while the voice acting is great, the facial movement an emotions shown are still steps behind half life 2, which is nearly 5 years old. Armour sets are not unique and often reskinned, even then there is texture tear and clipping issues.



If you judge the game objectively and don't put a massive weighting on the story then the game is going to come shorter than your expectations.



But I mean shesh, a magazine gives DA:O a bum review and you all run into the forum crying like whipped school girls. Declaring the Edge is off your Christmas card list isn't going to give them any loss of sleep, they're a gaming mag for people getting into gaming development.

Sounds like you're the fanboy.

No. Dragon Age is extremely, extremely good if it's rated for what it is. An RPG made in the spirit of the classics. The combat is good/great if you don't use bugs or lame tricks. The story is excellent, so is the voice acting, lore, etc...

Dragon Age reviews under 85 are not credible. If a reviewer rates it under 85, they haven't rated it for what it is but what they wanted it to be...

Its long been known that Edge are all about JRPGs and soccer games. Joke of a magazine that only lives on as it pleases the fanbois of the above.

[Blank Syndrome]

Yes, let's definitely turn this into an anti-everything-that-isn't-a-WRPG thread and haphazardly assign terms such as "weeaboo" like a batch of slavering tools instead of staying on topic and addressing exactly why they're wrong based on the review itself or, heavens forbid, respecting their diverging opinions. In fact, you know what I'm going to do? Why, I'll pen a positively scathing letter to Edge Magazine and expose their rampant favoritism! How dare they blaspheme against the gods! Such impudent little whelps they are!

Yeah, no. I'm gonna lose sleep here over them not giving Dragon Age the 9 I think it deserves, especially when its performance in other review outlets is nothing short of spectacular.

Pasted from another board:

"Past Edge WRPG scores for reference:

Mass Effect - 7/10
Jade Empire - 7/10
KotOR - 9/10
Baldur's Gate 2 - 8/10
The Witcher - 5/10
Morrowind - 6/10
Oblivion - 8/10
Fallout 3 - 7/10
Diablo - 7/10
Diablo II - 6/10 "

Agree with them all except the witcher which deserved a 2/10 imo.

Same here. All these games were brilliant, except witcher which was ****. Edge deliberately gives low scores to draw attention to themselfs.

the witcher 5/10
Diablo 2 6/10

i think that this magazine is very useful for publishers as they can just do the opposite of what edge is suggesting and make a lot of money

The scores reflect the quality of the game, not how popular they expect it to be.

Yes? and most people think the quality is above that

when you are the only one in the industry to rate 5 a game loved by critic and gamers too maybe you are wrong...or trying to catch attention on you.....

[PurpleChair]

And many others do not. Including this one reviewer.

It must be nice, being insecure in your opinion and all.

[Syrellaris]

im from europe and nearly all United Kingdom gaming magazines that are respected get over here aswell. Edge however is not buyable in a single store here, so they arent that big at all. not to mention seeing the scores they give, i cant blame them. it sounds like a pos magazine.

yeah but there just like ign, reviewers that nobody hires at a respected gaming mag, because they suck.

Wait... Diablo counts as RPG? Oh well... I guess Wii Sports is a RPG after all... 

Morrowind 6/10 is just weird, The Witcher 5/10 is insane... DA:O 5/10??? Probably the reviewer was drunk that day. Or he rolled a ten sided dice to score the game, who knows.

There's clearly a number of people on this forum who have played and enjoyed a lot of Bioware RPGs in the past and just don't think Dragon Age is all that great. You can't just dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as being some kind of 'FPS fanboy'. It just doesn't make sense! Nobody can take that kind of argument seriously.



There's a lot of nice things I could say about Dragon Age, but I found the general combat mechanisms to be broken, boring, not much fun, and that's what you spend most of the game doing. The story and the presentation and the lore are all well and good, but the bad combat lets the whole game down, in my opinion.



Maybe you thought it was really great? That's okay too; I'm glad you enjoy the game. But I don't understand why you wig out so much when people disagree with you.

[PurpleChair]

Also, there's a number of interesting omissions from that list of scores people keep posting. They gave Neverwinter Nights 9/10, for example. Are you going to say they got that wrong too?

Absolutely! Proves everybodys point over again. NWN:OC was horrible. BW's worst ever. Disgustingly poor experience in any way. What saved NWN was the toolset and the community. And the appearing follow up modules.

Yes NWN did not deserve 9/10 at most it deserved a 8/10, the main thing that was good about it was the storyline for HOTU and the multiplayer and did not deserve to be rated higher than BG2

So they hate Western RPGs and underscore them all the time.



Except for some, which they overscore.



And some others, which they score correctly.



So, um...
