The storyline was great overall. It was a different sort of story in that everyone playing the game plays the role of Hawke, but each player decides who Hawke really was and how the events played out. It's as if your decisions define a particular historical figure.

Different strokes SuicidialBaby; I’m another who has no problem advising the OP not to bother with that wretched game. That said, enjoy it if you can!


awesome how you haters show up after the fact.  He's already finished the game and has stated that he's enjoyed it.  Amazing how both of you still troll a forum of a game you claim to no longer play or even own simply to tell people not to buy it.  It's simply amazing that you both have the where withall in your lives to frequent a forum for a game you don't enjoy.

Different strokes?  Yes, its the strokes that brings you to a forum of a game you dont play so you can give such helpful advice.

Single playthrough opinions do not matter.  That is not opinion, that is fact.


I dont need your pemission to frequent the boards (of which this section is only a small part) or post in this, or any other, thread SuicidialBaby. In any case, it's pretty well established now that the game poliarised opinion - quite why you feel qualified to tell me mine isnt as valid as yours is lost on me. Carry on.

Glad you enjoyed the game (it appears my first post in this thread was a little late). I've heard good things about the DLC.

Single play-through opinions do not matter because they simply can not understand how far post release development has come.  How patches have altered the game viscerally, mechanically, or in general.  They hold no weight in discussions of weather or not the current monetary value of the game and its content can be viewed in context when compared to the release of the game as they have not experienced both points in the life of the product.  Your opinion is not as qualified as mine.  That is not a judgement on you as a person, but your experience with this product.  Your opinion is based off a finite period of time which is skewed by certain expectations you have placed on the product prior to using it at an entirely different price point and period in time.  The value of your opinion has also devalued over time as the product has been altered significantly from its original form and price-point since you purchased it and made use of it.  These factors determine the value of your opinion, not me, and not you.  Your opinion is worth less than anyone who has played the game more than once.

Single play opinions don’t count eh (self important much)? In any case, how on earth can you even pretend to know the first thing about when I played the game and how? You haven’t even bothered to ask why I think it’s a vile, vapid turd.

What I said, and can be clearly read, is that your opinion is worth less than. 
Either engage me on the the same level or cease to confront me.

It is because you played it once, with expectations which were based on the previous title. Aside from several cosmetic issues with the game, what value it did carry was summarily ignored by your type. This becomes abundantly clear when discussing anything about the product, regardless of its actual value when not compared to its predecessor.

You are taking this personally, which is understandable considering you do not have the ability to understand anything I am talking about because you tied emotion to your opinion based on a very segmented and constrained experience of the product. You lack any significant viewpoint from which to make any reasonable opinion of anything involving the product other than the storyline. Limitations you applied to your experience are impacting the value of your opinion. I am simply pointing out those limitations in order to bring context to the value of said opinion.

Further engagement with me on this subject will only show how little you understand what it is I am discussing.
Save yourself and move on.

yes, the basic level of being able to know the difference between "worthless" and "worth less"

Reading comprehension is clearly not one of your basic abilities, so I will attempt to make this as simple as I can so you can understand.  (I can only hope you're still with me at this point...)

Your opinion on DA2 < my opinion on DA2

your opinion on DA2 < anyone who has played the game recently

your opinion on DA2 < anyone who has played the game more than once

My reading comprehension is just fine baby, which is more than can be said for the quality of your written English. So (and for the second time), what is it you think you know about the number of times I played that wretched game and my problems with it? Please enlighten me oh omnipresent authority figure, please enlighten us all. x

I'll check the thread in the morning (try not to edit every single one of your posts in the meantime you super-duper Dragon Age 2 expert you). x

The fact that you have yet to deny only playing the game once as well as your need to identify with that remark would be my reasoning.  Otherwise you would have disregarded that comment and moved forward, like a normal person.

On the subject of English, I am not the one having difficulty understanding the words someone else is using.  You have misread my words at least twice now and still struggled to identify the subject at least one of us is discussing.

Your current backlash would only be more wood on the fire burning down your house.  At least this is a step up from the venerable words you use to flavor your opinion of the game.  You're so dynamic, it's refreshing.

LOL at you having trouble with someone editing a post.  I was simplifying the post as you clearly have issues reading.


edit:  At first it was pity, now its just fun.  Please, continue responding.

Oooooooo, baby needs a pacifier! So, no answer then (not that it matters)? I mean, to say your logic is a little too straightforward to do justice to the topic at hand is to say the very least of it I’m afraid. Say I played DA2 one more time than you; would you be willing to concede that my opinion regarding the game was any more valid than yours? Of course not.

Not that it matters to me; claiming oneself to be an authority on that particular game is the gaming equivalent of curating that silly little creationist museum in Texas! But fill your boots by all means.


Want to know why I hate the game yet baby, or are you not quite done chatting fart?

EDIT: Just because :P

Why do you hate the game, Fandango? Overall, it was good IMO, and it had fewer bugs than DA1. The one notable bug is that, after a certain point in the game, Hawke inflicted almost no damage with normal attacks.

There wasn’t much I enjoyed about the game in truth; I didn’t like the way it looked (no hotrodding for me I’m afraid), the way it played (Dragon Age 2’s wave mechanic could possibly be the single worst combat ‘innovation’ I’ve experienced in an RPG’s this generation, possibly ever) or what it stood for (cheap and rushed). And that’s to say nothing of the lack of customisation and story contrivances (act 3 anyone)?!

I could go on but it’s 4 in the morning here in the UK. I’ll revisit the thread tomorrow with something a little more coherent.

Diffusion by ignoring the answer. Good tactic, if you were conversing with an invalid. You got your answer and you still have yet to respond to the singular point. Otherwise you would have clearly stated you played the game more than once. You have not because you have not. This applies on several levels as the game's mechanics have been altered by a degree you simply refuse to experience. As I have, that inherently grants me more understanding of them. That singular point proves I know more than you on this subject.

Say I played DA2 one more time than you; would you be willing to concede that my opinion regarding the game was any more valid than yours?

But you have not, nor will you ever. So no, I can't say that because it will never happen. But for humility's sake, let's entertain the idea that you played it more than 4 times over the course of several patches, including the most recent. That experience would allow you to hold a conversation on the subject without resorting to ham handed insults while failing to understand a conversation on perspective in relation to the value of an opinion on any given subject. Quite honestly your example is dwarfed by the reality of the comparison. You have played the game once, that much is evident by your avoidance of stating otherwise and your choice of words so far. Myself, I lost count some time ago as to the number of play-throughs I have completed. Most of them were accomplished in order to better provide the advice I have given to so many, such as yourself, that may have struggled with the mechanics of the game.

But, by all means, continue avoiding the subject in order to tear me down because you lack the ability to converse otherwise.

To be clear, the number of playthroughs is irrelevant beyond a significant value. That value is clearly greater than 1. Some could say 4 playthroughs might be the base minimum to offer a valid opinion on the product considering the numerous changes to it over time. (Once for each patch)

What does not change is that the subject being discussed is the value of an opinion. Yours carries less value because of several factors. This fact remains regardless if you agree with it or not. Your childish and emotional response to the presentation of this fact does not alter it.

@SuicidialBaby and @Fandango9641... while I should probably be thankful for an argument *not* related to Mass Effect 3... let's agree to disagree, please. You've both made points. Time for the bickering to end.

Thanks,

RI
