One thing that baffles me is that DA2 is rated 70 while DA:I is rated 59. Whether he/she enjoyed DA2 more shouldn't have factored into scoring DA:I so lowly, a review should be as objective as possible. From what we've seen so far alone DA:I can stand it's ground to be at least as good as DA2 let alone better, it's honestly puzzling.. O wells, I never cared for reviews anyway, no matter how positive or how negative

To be completely honest I enjoyed the first hours or DA2 a lot more than the first hours of DA:I.

I remember enjoying the first two hours of DA2. Then a few more hours in I realized what I was in for.

I've never understood the reviewers who do "I'm reviewing Game X, and it's not at all like game Y, so I'm going to give it a low score."

 

Unless of course Game X was someone saying, "Game X is going to be a remake of Game Y."

THEN it is a valid comparison.

 

Same with books, movie, plays.....

Judge everything on it's own merits and strengths.

"This works, this doesn't, this needs tweaking...."

not

"This doesn't work because it isn't like this over here."

 

Someone who reviews  Big Hero 6 and complains since it's nothing at all like The Godfather (or The Godfather does this better) loses me caring about their review or even their opinion.  Or looking at a Prairie Style house by Wright and saying, well it fails since it isn't al all like this building by Adrian Smith.

 

 

Just my opinion.

 

(Hating DA2 just because it wasn't a DAO clone, or DAI for the same.....*sigh* I like that they are trying new things, or we get stuck with Bioware going the Madden route.)

Somebody needs to post that Joker meme and say 'fifty positive reviews and no one bats an eye....one negative review and everyone loses their mind!' I mean seriously I have seen only 2, maybe 3 bad reviews of the game, and dozens of good ones...so chill.

I'm watching the escapist thread for joke comments on Greg's previous review on DA2.

Bottom Line: A pinnacle of role-playing games with well-designed mechanics and excellent story-telling, Dragon Age II is what videogames are meant to be.

Recommendation: Buy it, steal it, beat up your little brother so you can play it.

 

 Thank you Greg, but I am going to pass on your review for any game.

Yeah I said something similar to this earlier. Game is good. If people don't like it or think it's meh, then I guess they wanted something different.

I remember enjoying the first two hours of DA2. Then a few more hours in I realized what I was in for.

I'm surprised to see people say this. I always thought the first few hours of DA2 were more overlooked than enjoyed.

Like the first things you see are the terrible looking and animated Darkspawn, narrow paths for maps, and spawning in fights. I just made the dubious assumption that "this is the tutorial, they're always bad" and thought everyone must have felt the same at first.

I'll just add this. Mass Effect 1 is heavily criticized for it's "bad gameplay". Yet the game is considered by many fans to be better than ME3, which had infinitely better gameplay. Just food for thought.

I'm the opposite in this one...I despised the gameplay for ME 1.  For the most part.  

[Dubstob]

When I see someone giving da:i a 5/5 or 10/10 I go see what that person thought about DA:2 just to be sure.

 

lol greg tito.

I'm not saying ME1 had better gameplay than 3. But according to polls and forums posts I've seen for the past 2 years, people had an overall better experience with ME1. And if you wanna say your experience in ME3 was better, that's fine. But I'm just saying what I've seen.

People say that because they liked the open nature of ME1, letting them explore planets.

Dragon Age 2 doesn't let you do that in the first two hours, does it? It doesn't do anything to earn a good first impression, really.

[Muspade]

My experience was certainly opposite. 

I found ME1's combat to be the most awfully tagged on mechanic. Only reason I can't bring myself to play that game often.

I think I chased some random mercenary around one of the bottom areas of one of their bases for like a minute just in a circle firing my AR.

The Fade...ughhhh. Had to get a mod to bypass the maze.

Alright I've found some of them. They're all very consistent with each other, with ME3 coming in last:

They stated in the review with the 59 score that they wanted to have the option to join the Inquisition or not (or at least at first) - when the game is literally about the Inquisition and our position in it. They also stated it was weird how we, the huge leader, are going around collecting herbs and stuff. It basically critised the fact that we CAN collect stuff because it breaks immersion. They do have some good points, but I simply can't take things like that seriously.

For me, a great scenery and the characters are the most important thing in a game. And so far I like both, based on what gameplay I saw.

How not to join the Inquisition.

>Press Esc.
> Exit to menu.
>Quit game.

They need to ask themselves do they want to play a video game or not?

 

In fact here is the perfect response to these guys complaining about not having the option to say no to joining:

One bad review.

 

One is all it took.

 

"THIS REVIEW HAS CONFIRMED MY FEARS THE GAME IS A DISASTER WORSE THAN DA2 BIOWARE LITERALLY SATAN."

I'm not saying ME1 had better gameplay than 3. But according to polls and forums posts I've seen for the past 2 years, people had an overall better experience with ME1. And if you wanna say your experience in ME3 was better, that's fine. But I'm just saying what I've seen.

 

Something I think doesn't seem to be considered as much as it ought to be: gameplay doesn't start and end at "combat-related." I like ME3 more than ME1, personally, but despite that the sense of space as an expansive, impenetrable mystery is conveyed well in aspects of ME1's non-combat gameplay mechanics, even as other aspects make it into rather the redundant slog. The majestic skyboxes of the first game, coupled with wide open surface areas, really gives me the kind of vibe I think is missing in the sequels. It gives me the vibe of space not just as a vehicle for storytelling, but as the final frontier.

 

ME3 plays smoother. It plays "better." In battle, Shepard is, for me and many others, much more fun to control. And Shepard's enemies are much more fun to destroy. And, yes, I prefer ME3's story, its characters, its moments overall. But I definitely prefer one part of ME1's gameplay above its successors -- the atmosphere. It is through synthesizing combat design, world design, roleplaying capabilities, and raw atmospheric worth that BioWare may one day give me a game I can't refuse to label perfect.

Well, they state it a little differently, as in: They want the option to cooperate or flee when Cassandra wants to drag you along. Which is, basically, the same as saying "Nope!" to your role of being a hero. Not to mention that it would probably end in a quick death. What a hero!
