Sorry TC, I have to disagree with you here.
(1) It created a disconnect with the main character - this is in part due to the fact that we start out
mid-life with the character and part due to the fact that the character creation was lacking heavily
from the last game (I could actually see a massive space between my character's beard and where
it was supposed to be attached to his face!).
I was just as connected to Hawke as to my Warden, there was realism there as well. You yourself said you forced yourself through the game, so already you had your mind set that you weren't going to like the game and was only doing it for a sense of completion. However if you did another run, cleared your head and sat and listen to everything being said or read stuff you pick up, you might feel connected as well. The Character creator added more options available to use, However I will agree with you on the beard thing (They should let you edit your cheekbone face with a beard, DA:O is also guilty of this.)
(2) The battle system was Xbox-oriented. Planning engagements was now gone because of the new
element involving waves of enemies appearing, and because of the fast-paced nature of the battles,
playing with anything other than a console made the fighting irritating.
Waves appearing is just another enemy spawn mechanic, I honestly don't see the problem with it. You get more experience for it anyways. As for fighting tactically as a "PC Gamer" I still pause my game and spin my camera around to see who to target next to keep up with momentum. Playing as a Mage had me pausing my game more than ever. I had to pause repeatedly pick a spell find a target amidst the hordes of enemies. So no, I didn't find it irritating at all.
Again it's your opinion and I'm not saying it's wrong but i'm not agreeing with it, I do however think it's unfair to lump everyone together by saying the community thinks DA2 is a bad game when the community is divided in half pretty much.
Connected to Hawk ? You have recipe on that ? Because I want to feel it. I was 100% disconnected. Why ?
~ hawk had limited responses
~ he often said something clearly different that I had in mind selecting answer
~ ha had voice :| not my own
~ he never was important. Whatever he did, didn't matter at the end.
~ he was hollow
You see no problem with waves ?
~ you are fighting, positioning your team when... monsters spawn on your head. Or they come from room that you just clear. Or they spawn from the floor. Whatever you like. No point doing anything elase that keeping your team (on nightmaere) near wall and spamming spells. All fights were boring and the same. Just like locations
~ fights had no sense at all. You just walk around and then BAM!. Bunch of idiots spawn around you from thin air and they attack you. And in one fight I saw more enemies that they show people in Kirkwall. Quantity over quality.
~ yeah, you can pause the game and use 'tactical approach" but why you want to do it ? On nightmare, only time when I paused the game was with BOSS FIGHTS. Yeah, you can pause etc but there is no point because whole game is just easy hack & slash.
~ mage just spamming spells. On nightmare you just track other party member so you wont kill them with fire.
~ no point in pausing to fire a spell. Why ? most of them are just homing missiles and AOE.
~ and DA II have one of the worst combat animations in BW history.
Retour en haut
