God, that "OH IT'S FROM PRE-ALPHA" argument got old three months ago. That's the graphics that were on the Demo on DX10. It's fucking PS2 graphics, that's inexcusable for a modern game. The only way to get DX11 is through a fucking patch, and even then you have to have a DX11 card (which not everyone has, mind you) to make the game look REMOTELY better than the first one? I call bullshit. Fine, you want a more modern picture, here. On DX11: and here's DA:O What an improvement! I'm perfectly fine with you thinking that DA2 is superior to DA:O and a fun game overall. I don't care at all, that's your OPINION But when you start talking out of your ass about something factually not true, I can't help but call fucking bullshit. | ||

Your name is perfect for the topic, too. | ||

I guess I'll still plug it in and not pre-judge but I have this sinking feeling that what people dislike about this game are the things that will turn me off it too. | ||

Holy shit, Dragon Age 2 looks so much better than Dragon Age Origins. Game caters to mouth breathing Call of Duty players. If you're hoping for a deep and complex narrative and tactical gameplay, then look elsewhere. However, if you love having awkward conversations with hot elves and skimpy magicians until you have sex with them, then Dragon Age is exactly what you're looking for. | ||

I'm only about 5 hours in, so there is plenty of time for a change of opinion, but so far it's really not what I expected. | ||

I also saw a few comments that said that the people didn't notice much of a difference but that could be egregiously wrong so don't take it 100%. Yeah, there is a pretty significant performance hit. And I like to think I have a fairly good PC. Crysis 1 and 2, SC2, etc all on max no problem, but this texture pack bullshit cuts my framerate by over 60%. Let me say that again, over 60%. So not only do they port the game (poorly mind you), but they then release an unoptimized texture pack to make the game look as good as it should on the PC.I'm not even getting into the things that I don't like, like the combat. Or story early on. Or the combat. And did I mention the combat? Kind of pissed off I spent money on this right now to be honest. I'll probably soldier through it just to beat it since I have OCD like that, but chances are I'm going to sell it to a friend that will sell it again to a friend. And before you know it Dragon Age 2 is like a 2 bit hooker in Bangkok. | ||

I'm concerned for Mass Effect 3 for coming out a little too fast after Mass Effect 2 and not living to the standarts set by ME2. | ||

I started the game on nightmare, played on nightmare for about 4-5 hours, but the progression became so slow that I didn't feel like continuing it.. For example, fights never freaking end! I would stand there, spend minutes manually controlling all of my group members, guiding them around like AI-less puppets. And after all my effort, a new group would simply spawn out of thin air, again and again. Sucks that they removed the top-down tactical view too, it was a great tool when running origins on nightmare. Nor did I care for the ending, but I wont spoil anything.. And what's with all the recycled assets? I got the feeling that I already had killed most of the enemies I met.. I guess it makes sense to re-use things in order to keep costs down, but, meh.. I don't really get how this game got a 93/100 from that one review. @ApocAlypsE007, I found the amount of abilities to be adequate.. The abilities avaliable differ from NPC to NPC, one mage might have X ability set, but another might have Y. Also you get access to the specialized talents that were in Origins later in the game. | ||
