Seriously. I consider myself a fairly calm person, but window lickers like this, make me want to nerd rage, break my keyboard and punch a cute and fluffy kitten. Why? Because this guy is an idiot. Pretty much similar to every other idiot, who wrote negative comments about the game without bothering to learn basic game mechanics, experiment or simply ask for help from people who don't breath through their mouth.

First of all, this guy claims to be a long time gamer. These arguments always make me laugh. So you're a long time gamer. Great. You spent many years playing games and yet you're still terrible. Just because one does something a long time, it doesn't automatically mean that person is any good in that particular field. These morons who feel the need to present their credentials when reviewing a game makes me think of one word: Blowhard.

Second, he cries about the difficulty (big surprise and this guy gives off a "I play console shooters with cheats" vibe). Wonderful. Game is hard. Especially encounters you can skip. It's as if Bio realized there would be terribles who wouldn't be able to use basic strategy early on so they made the ruins revenants totally optional. He also mentions how it's impossible to enter werewolf lair. Really? Is this guy autistic?

Finally he whines about Redcliffe, which is just a quest that takes you to a different area. He proceeds to cry about another revenant that you don't have to fight (ironically he ignores the one at Redcliffe, hmm) and finishes off about how much better Borderlands is compared to DA (truly a sign of mental deficiency).

Browsing through other negative reviews, yields pretty much similar results, some being worse than others. From Oblivion fanbois to FPS tards, there is not a single review, which analyses the game's faults in a constructive manner. THIS is why the true fans are disgusted. There is NO NEED to cry about a game not meeting your expectations, if you bought it expecting a different game in the first place.

Funny, i read the same review and agreed with most of it.



The only problem with the review is that he missed many other things that sucks in this game :/

[Rolenka]

rofl @ the "review"

It's sad that games have to cater to mouth breathers like that. I guess he can go play Modern Warfare 2. On the XBOX. No way is he a PC gamer as he claims. He'd know the difference between an RPG and an RTS.

[Jonfon_ire]

Meh. Gamespot Player Reviews are like the Comments page at the bottom of articles. Only reason to read them is to point and laugh.

[thisisme8]

I think he just didn't understand the type of game he was getting into. Evidence is below:

BORDERLANDS



Now that's a fun game! I haven't looked back since!!

Diablo III can not get here soon enough!! Come on Blizzard! Save me!



Oh, Bioware... what have you wrought!?

I think if Borderlands is more his type, he should try Mass Effect out instead of DA:O. Clearly this game wasn't Diablo III, and I'm led to believe he thought it was going to be similar.

[Beertastic]

It comes down to this: Anyone worth joining into this community and actually enjoying the experiencing DA:O offers would look at a review like that and instantly recognize it as biased and severely lacking in actual criticisms (too much WAAAAH!! to have any credibility). With that in mind, reviews like this actually serve in keeping more jerks, trolls, and I want more Xplozionz!! people away.

So anyone who dislikes Dragon Age is "moth breathing, FPS playing kid"



You fanboys are just a constant source of irony and disappointment

Which part do you agree with? The one with Borderlands being better than DA or the one where optional bosses make you quit the game because you're too dumb to not fight them or switch to easy?

[Iso55]

Anyone who has to qualify their answer with their gaming background is instantly suspect. Yes, Dragon Age has its quirks that make it frustrating at times, but the product was as advertised at least in my opinion. There are things that need to be improved upon, but they are in no way a major drawback to the game. Also, not being powerful enough is a cop out. It means you are not planning your attacks properly or you created some hybrid spec that is absolutely useless.

Also, anyone who begs Blizzard to save them has got to be 13 or maybe 14.

[addiction21]

Whats new? Everything he said is opinionated bs or wrong.

"Diablo III can not get here soon enough!! Come on Blizzard! Save me!" Really now? Is it really so common  not to knowanything about what you are buying?

Consumer: "I want whats in the unmarked box"
Salesmen: "Are you sure, Dont you want to look inside and see what is in there?"
Consumer "Damnit I said give me the box"
Consumer Looks inside the box.
Consumer "what the ****? Its a book. I HATE BOOKS!!! F YOU SALEMEN!! Why did you MAKE ME BUY THIS?!?!?!

The game isn't perfect. And yet I haven't seen anyone put forth a convincing argument or present some constructive criticism on the game's negative points.

All I see is "LOLZ THIS GAEM IS 2 HARD I R GOING BACK TO FPS LUL!!11"

My problem is people giving an obviously amazing RPG negative reviews because:

1) It doesn't cater to their mouthbreathing playstyle
2) They expected something else when they bought it

[Kimberly Shaw]

Okay, the reviewer is kind of "slow" BUT he did make a good point in one aspect as I felt the same thing.



The game sort of "nudges" you in my opinion by having Allistair, who is your first and arguably most important companion since he's the only other Grey Warden, straight out say that he wants to go to Red Cliff and Arl Eamon first off. This is fine and dandy, I think its a great starting quest to get Eamon as your mentor since he's so instrumental in the later parts of the game--much more than the dwarves and elves and mages.



However, the Red Cliff quest should NOT NOT NOT have required you to do the entire mages quest BEFORE you can finish it, considering how urgent the mission in Red Cliff castle appears to be. Plus, many people, like this reviewer and myself, do not like starting one large quest then having to stop it mid way and going onto another large quest, especially one like the mage where you are locked in. This was poor design in my opinion.



Either the game should have "nudged" you into the tower first rather than Red Cliff, or a mage at the docks should have been waiting with a big "!" over his head to come to the Earl's aid rather than locking you into a long quest when you're already in the middle of a long quest.



Just my 2 cents. The rest of his review is a bit silly, the difficulty is just fine in my opinion and customizable to boot!

There are 2 other options then having to go do the mage tower if you have not done it yet. The choice is yours on how to proceed.

So it is poor in design because it makes you multi task?? Or is it poor in design because it is not totally linear? I understand someone not liking the game, but your laziness in a video game astonishes me. I think someone got too used to having quest helper on all the time in WOW.

[Roxlimn]

You don't have to go to the Mage's Circle to finish the Redcliffe Quest.

You don't have to beat Revenants to finish the Werewolf Quest.

How you tackle the questlines is completely up to you.

[kungfusam]

I fiished Redcliff before I went the Mage tower, did I break the game?

Agreed, doing the mages' quest is completely optional at that point.

[Obliterati]

Technically, you don't have to go do the Mages quest before finishing Redcliffe. You will not get the "best" result, but there's no forcing.

Anyway, freedom vs linearity is an ancient battle in video games, and there is no right answer. Eye of the beholder, and all that.

Edit: ninja'd, like, 8 times. Man I'm slow, I'd never make it in the Crows...

True--You're correct in saying that, but er...I can't spoil in this forum but my characters aren't into murdering women and children. The path most gamers take as the "hero" (at least on first play through) is the one which will require you to go do the quest in the mage tower. & it bugged the heck out of me (and this "reviewer") that I had to drop the long quest I was in the middle of to go do another "long" quest and then come back to the one I had started. I hate leaving unfinished business...just my opinion. If I had spoiled myself I would for sure have done the mage tower before Red Cliffe, I just wish the game had nudged me towards that instead of the other way around.

Yeah, me too.

It's always: I'm a long time gamer, I have broad experience with RPGs, I played Baldurs Gate, I own a PC, Xbox and PS3, blah blah blah.

They are so desperately trying to garner credibility, it's pathetic.

You're not though, in actuality you're incorporating one quest into another, so you're not just leaving it but taking a longer route than the other options would take.

It's not murder, she is offering herself up as a sacrifice to save her son. Big difference. It makes sense in the game world, because going to the tower is going to take time, time her son may not have. WE know he does, but that doesn't matter.
