Isn't Kotaku considered to be a trollsite already?

It seems that the professional critics disagree with you.

And it seems this professional critic disagree with the above one.


Defying all expectations, BioWare managed to take one of the most memorable Western RPGs in recent history and completely destroyed everything that made it so good
http://www.gamecriti...n-age-ii-review


So what's your point ?

"The advancements in RPG mechanics would be enough to set it apart, but the real achievement of Dragon Age II is in the story-telling. I could point out the improved combat and graphics till there's blood covering my face, but BioWare is one of the few companies that uses the advanced computing power available to modern game designers to let you actually play a role."
http://www.escapistm...n-Age-II-Review

Considering that the review you quoted is an outlier by over 20 points, it wouldn't even be included in a scientific plot of all the scores.

So what's your point?

yeah... the escapist's review definitely isn't an outlier...

"Bottom Line[/b]: A pinnacle of role-playing games with well-designed mechanics and excellent story-telling, Dragon Age II[/i] is what videogames are meant to be.Recommendation[/b]: Buy it, steal it, beat up your little brother so you can play it."

lmao.

That's appalling, by the way.  A scientific plot should not exclude anomalous data without first explaining the anomaly.

It would seem that this rumor suggesting that Bioware acquired the Frostbite 2 engine turned out to be correct.

Not really. EA just slapped the bioware name on an existing studio that was already using the engine.

Skyrim is a singleplayer rpg and its sales are $845 million and climbing. And its only been out a little over a month.

...so you're saying Skyrim should  have multiplayer, so it can make even MORE money? Brilliant!

No.  No he's not.

[slimgrin]

Wait a minute guys. A DA game using the amazing Frostbite engine? What's wrong with that? And arena style competitive multiplayer mode could be fun.

Apparently it's going to ruin the game. The whole rumor sounds like BS anyway, the BSN just wanted another reason to tell bioware how awful they are.

"Dragon Age II was a huge letdown. Baldur's Gate II is one of my favorite all-time games, and that definitely influenced my expectations. Before Dragon Age II was released, I thought of the franchise as a return to the fantasy role-playing style of old with a few modern conveniences. That meant a long journey full of unexpected discoveries and strange new worlds, where I'm free to follow along with the main plot or go off on my own and uncover unexpected treasures. Dragon Age II cut most of this out, focusing on a painfully limited set of recycled dungeons and explorable areas, forcing me to talk to the same people so many times that many interactions felt as mundane as waiting in line for a morning cup of coffee. By the game's end all sense of wonder and discovery was completely wrecked by Dragon Age II's limited scope, which felt like an origin story from the first game puffed up into a 40 hour experience." - IGN

I guess after EA paid up for the review score and cashed in after moron fans bought the game based off DAO, it didn't really matter if the true feelings came out.

Funny how EVERY site's employees later say "I would have not given it that score" (I specifically remember PCgamer's reviewers). Funny how, the game went straight to the only person that would have given it a near perfect score

What's funny is how you say every site and only come up with two examples. What's also funny is how you seem to have some kind of psychic ability to detect the score every reviewer at a website will give a game.

Do I look like Google to you? Check there if you wanna see more, I'm definitely not gonna waste my time.

Though I doubt anything will convince you to take your tounge off BiowEAre's boots.

Provided IGN really thought they overhyped DA 2, they would lose all credibility if it was the same person. The negative backlash seems to have made even critics, who should take a more neutral approach to hype, reconsider their thoughts on DA 2.

[kingjezza]

DA2 was massively over scored by plenty of critics. PC Gamer's original Origins review was what made me try the game in the first place, It was a decent review so I had faith 2 would get a fair review from them.

I was probably one of the first on BSN to get PC Gamers review and posted up all the points on here, that positive review probably convinced me to stick with my pre-order at a point where I was wavering. It's only when you play the game you realise what a sham review it actually is and why PC Gamer could release an early exclusive review, Rich McCormick has the credibility of a potato after his DA2 review. The record books say that according to PC Gamer DA2 scores the same 94 as Skyrim, even though both games couldn't be further apart in terms of quality if they tried.

Bioware should be thankful for a low 80's meta score for DA2 as without all the shill reviews they would be scoring mid to low 70's.

Ok.. let me state where a sort of mmo was kind of fun and ok.  Neverwinter nights (the original).  The game itself was solo, but there was a free online element where people had the ability to create their own worlds, interact with other players in the world they created!  Modding was everywhere!  Characters, weapons, worlds, story... the toolset was the first I had ever seen.  It was a nice way to allow the artist expression of the RPG creative community and keep the game alive once the solo game was over.

NOW... if DragonAge becomes an full MMORPG online it becomes dead to me.  I love a game that I can play solo.  I dont have time to hang online and wait on P.U.Gs. to finish a questline, I cant stay up to 3am every day for raids.  I like a game that I can play and enjoy at my pace on my computer and pause it and pick up when I have the free time to do so.  I also do not have the extra $ laying around to buy a $50 game then spend an extra $15 per month to keep it running.

I dont want to have a bunch of random people coming up to my character and doing some stupid dance moves (or jumping up and down) to block my character from reaching a creature I waited to respawn(EQ2) or making some stupid 12 yr old sexual comments about my characters looks because they think its funny (WOW reference here). Or worse... (again WOW reference) people throwing their PVP flag at your feet as you are trying to do something else and that stupid box popping up on your screen saying "I want to dual you!"  Its disruptive, annoying, and kills my RPing.  Im too old for that garbage and have no time to waste on it.  

Please tell me Dragon Age is more likely going the way of NWN and not going the way of generic MMORPGs.  Tell me a good personal game is coming out to better smooth the rough edges of DA2 and improve on DAO with a killer toolset that will allow for players to have fun and personalize their experiance.  

And to comment on ths arena garbage.  Just for reference sake the players I know in WOW and EQ2 Despise the arena areas in their game (PVP & PVE) and they basically ignore them for reqular quests (better rewards and less tedium).  

[DreamwareStudio]

NO MULTIPLAYER.

If I want that, I can go to WOW.

NO ACTION RPG.

If I want that, I can go elsewhere.

DRAGON AGE 3 = NON-DUMBED DOWN RPG!!!

Dare to stand out from the crowd, Bioware/EA.

Skyrim has no multiplayer (and, incidentally, no voiced protagonist).

Skyrim sold over 10 million copies.

Make of that what you will, devs.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

lol mp. You Can't Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sows Ear.

I hate the way the gaming industry thinks that you need MP to have a good game in my experience it generally spoils good single player games, I'm looking at you Assassins creed Revelations

[Fast Jimmy]

I'm not sure they believe you need it to make a good game, I think they believe if you add it, it will make you more money.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

well that too, but it still doesn't change the fact that the single player experience suffers

[DarkAmaranth1966]

If DA3 is MMO, I will not be buying it unless there is an offline, single player mode as well. Not all of us have DSL or any broadband available. I have dial up or satellite - only choices here and MMO does not work on either, lag aside bandwidth on satellite does not allow for MMO. I buy the games because they are one of the few non gun single player RPGs available here.

As much as I like MMORPG, it simply is not possible for me and, i know I am not the only one in such a place who is not about to sell their home and move just to get broadband internet. because of a game.

[Zeevico]

If they invest money in multiplayer that won't leave enough money for mediocre cinematics, sub-par graphics and voicing every sneeze and whine from every farm animal in every village in the DA multiverse.
