I hope Dragon Age 2 cost $100, so we don't have to listen to the poor people complain about it not being good enough because they spent their live savings on it.

Stupid poor people, stupid poor people, I have more money than you!

I hope you will be glad too that Bioware closes it's doors because they decided to listen to a random idiot on the forums that wanted to show off how much money he had.  It isn't about if a person can afford it, it is about how much value they got for their money.  But I don't expect you can wrap your small minded brain around that and will continue to think anyone cares how much money you have.

Time to face the music fan boys, we have all been taken for a ride by the business suits, trying to suck more money out of us. We try our hardest to be a fan's but end up being suckered to buy a mod. Not a real expansion.

I think that romances are nice spice in the game. But the purpose is somewhere else. It is impossible to include all the elements, all the characters, all fan-girl-alistair-on-my-side-things and mix former choices together with also reading customers toughts. Impossible to do different game for every player. We have to understand that there is no way to have that all if we don't want to wait new games something like forever.

I'm very happy to see fresh new npc's, nice chatting that it's not necessary but fun. Companion quests you are not forced to do, but you can if you want to.
For what I'll be sorry is if these games would be going too much to affair-side and endless chatting instead of smooth game engines and fascinating battle system. This is something that majority of gamers have waited thru the years. Loud talking fangirls can't take it away from us.

There is other games to play drama, here we are painting a little bit bigger picture. Like saving the world instead?
I'd like to put some humour in my text, but english is not my native language, so I must say - don't take this too serious.

well even though im a guy im not complete agreeing with that statement sure most guys like to hack and slash but its the choice that matters as well as the companion romance cause its something to give more feel that the game isnt just and rpg where you buy, hack, and loot, its more to that the drama just adds to conflict more so then the neverWinter night series. as for the loud fangirls, its my sis that got me into biowares rpgs that i became a bioware fan. its that drama and romance aspect that makes bioware game memorible

yup i agree 99.99% with you (always .01 margin or error) that bussinesss suit riped us. but if EA was so greeded and impatient then they could realize dragon age itself is series worth investing. look at baldurs gate series, it was like best rpg classics in history, must of sold like over a million copies, cause of the quailty and hard work the devloper put into that game. however these day as i said in my first post here on page 3 mid, EA is rushing out games and milking new fans of there cash to make quick cash. same with the command and conquer series and (what was that title name oh well ill edit ed if i can remeber that title names where EA rush production of the game.) EA however is lately investing money into new originals that has large fan base and possible fanhiase in the future. 

voodoo and everyone else whose a fan of biowares great works of rpg masterpeices, dont consider bioware and there games arent worth the cash, but consider as a price to pay for the future quality of a game. EA if they invest in at least 3 years in developing dragon age 2 then the return investment on their part will be sigifnicant as the quality of dragon age sequel or possible fanchise will have a reputiton and acclaim to have in the future. as for the overprice expanison well its an expansion and depending on howmuch bioware actually cut for developing games, that overprice expanison might actually pay for itself in the next dragon age game assuming that the profit ratio is more for bioware(but reality is EAs just greed and impatient.).

like this for Awakening per game
actual game worth is 15-20
EA makes 10-14 or vise verse for bioware
bioware makes 5-6 or vise verse for EA

so for those who "wasted money" if you look at the money issue from this stand point Bioware, doesnt get the final say on price but EA does. and if you think about it paying biowares salary and game developing cost money so the "wasted money could actually be use as an investment into the next dragon age game. well assuming that EA doesnt get all of biowares profits and makes the budget for Bioware then the next dragon age game will be great."

This expansion was 40 bucks for at most 20 hours.  Sounds like someone left it running overnight a couple times.
 
 
 

30 hours is about right, if the person is a complete incompetent at playing. Next time, he should equip his weapons and armour and then he could get through the game easier.

You guys are funny. I mean come on slagging someone off as a retard because they took x amount longer to play the game than you think it should be played in? Seriously.

I took a fair amount over 100 hours to do Origins and loved every minute of it and STILL didn't do everything, and no I didn't leave it on overnight. You gonna get cute about that?

Because I would call it a value-for-money win, myself.

[SILVERFURY0093]

look i a guy takes longer to finish the game its his choice to do a full sweep for an rpg than just a hack and slash game.



beside gamers its an rpg, its not suppose to be a timed hack and slash game.

No one got suckered, everyone got what they paid for 30 hour long single player RPG.  If that makes you cry, no one cares.

My first time through Origins was 110 hours(4.5 DAYS) ..or thereabouts.  I do not leave my game paused and or on overnight ...hehehe (don't think my computer would let me to be honest)

My first run through Awakening was 23 hours and 57(UNDER 1 DAY) minutes..exactly.   And even then, same as Origins..I didn't find everything, do everything possible..because there were things I accidentally overlooked.

And just because people are more completionist.

First off, I quoted this guys post initially because it was all caps, full of misspellings, and he honestly posted he spent 30 hours in this crapstick expansion.  Now let me explain why I feel you are a bit LD for not feeling a bit ripped off.

110 hours(4.5 DAYS) - 49.99
23 hours and 57(UNDER 1 DAY) - 39.99

DO YOU SEE THE DISCONNECT HERE.

ROFL are you so stupid it took you 110hours to beat a 40 hour game?

See what a troll you are?  YOU spent 110 hours on DAO... many spent FAR less.

DAO was $60 for consoles
$40 for DAO A

I did about 60-70 DAO, 30 DAO A

If you feel "ripped off" it's mostly because you are stupid, the other reason is because you are an angry nerd:wizard:

Haexpane has a point. Many questions were asked concerning the game's length of time. I knew I was going to pay for a 20-30 hour game, despite the cost but I still bought it. I enjoyed it but it was just worth that one playthrough. It's not as awesome as DA:O but it was good; however, if players are that upset about it being a waste of time... then return it. And hope that a future expansion is better. 

[Ahzrei]

By that logic, Haex...





How the hell did you spend 30 hours on Awakening?

[Konane117]

30 hrs eh? take a screenshot or it never happened.



as for me, it took me about 14 hrs to beat the game - with about 90% of the sidequests completed.

[Maniac9838]

There is not enough there to spend 30 hours on, unless maybe you spent all your time searching every corner for stuff without using the tab key. I spent 15hrs 29mins on it, and did everything.

The game was boring and not worth the $40 I spent on it. $20 maybe.

[SILVERFURY0093]

well if you rush through a game its (esp an rpg) it makes the game feel off so if players should take it slow the first time and experience all they can not the fastest is the best. its no contest that some would rather enjoy as a fan rather than become some game addict who only wants to just play a video game.

 I agree with what's-her-face, it was disappointing. This review sums it up pretty well.

www.cinemablend.com/games/Review-Dragon-Age-Origins-Awakening-23526.html

I think the final paragraph sums it up the best.  I will copy it here since many won't take the time to read the whole article undoubtedly.

"About eight years ago, BioWare released an
expansion pack for Baldur's Gate II called Throne of Bhaal.
Like Awakening, it was a high-level adventure but the difference
was that Bhaal made you feel high-level. It wasn't just a simple
matter of giving you more hit points or a slightly shinier weapon. The
game made you believe your character was one of the most powerful beings
in existence and was fighting against foes who were just as formidable.
In many ways, Awakening just fails to do this. If you simply
want more Dragon Age, these extra 15 hours of gameplay might sate
you. If you were expecting this expansion pack to take the franchise to
new heights, though, you're going to
be disappointed.
"

As an aside it is easy to get confused on which games Bioware developed as opposed to support and guidance. Entire BG series and NWN1 + SoU + HoTU and Kotor1 are Bioware. NWN2 + MoTB and Kotor2 are Obsidian (with some Bioware involvement). A lot of people toss out xpac comparisons with both Throne of Bhaal AND Mask of the Betrayer as if they are both done by Bioware. The former is valid, the latter though is by Obsidian Entertainment (founded by the Black Isle Studios team).

well if you think about replay value i could be considered 30 hours for certain if you take the time to do everything and read everything instead of rushing it.

[DiatribeEQ]

I'm getting to the point in which I kind of wish they'd simply reworked the storyline of Awakenings, reduced the price of it to 24.99 and just made it a "Super DLC Pack" for the original story. As it stands, 39.99$ wasn't really worth it for what we received. Did I enjoy it? I did, but only because it was "More Dragon's Age". There's too many issues floating around from too many people to say that it even remotely stacks up to the legacy that DA:O has built up to date.

[Odyssey61]

I found that I did like the gameplay of Awakening and yet for the price paid it was woefully inadequate. To pay 2/3rds of the main game one should get value for money and yet Awakenings does not match up to that. Also there were a few bugs that should not have been there. All in all I give it 2/5 as it felt rough and unpolished and lacking depth.

So he did 110 hours, it took me almost that long and I got a lot out of it, does that make him stupid, or a troll? Does the fact it took you less time make you somehow "better" than him or me? More 1337, perhaps?
You're all the same you people, it just turns into c*ck-waggling contest about who's better.
