This is a great article which sums up my feelings on this game.

Maybe it's just the fact I really liked Origins, but I can't help but think this game fails so completly. Their big combat change, for me, was a giant step back from Origins. Sure the attack speeds in Origin and some mechanics were screwed, but at least they didn't have the supper invisable reinforcments that don't seem to end.

All up I didn't even finish a playthrough. The sweet gamebreaking friendship bug hit me and I couldn't be fucked fixing something Bioware should have caught in play testing. All up a dissappointment and a waste of $45.

 

Interesting. Apparently, they're offering PC users a free download of Mass Effect 2 as part of the promotion for buying DA2. Expires April 30th. Could this in any way be related to some of the backlash DA2 has gotten?

 

Probably related to the nosedive in sales. And note that the copy of ME2 they're flogging does not come with the Cerberus Network (basically a DLC bundle that usually comes free with the game, designed to be a kick in the balls to anyone that buys secondhand), which they charge fifteen bucks for. So they're setting themselves up for another backlash here.

 

a dvd check is used, yes.

Acquire no-cd crack, keep original .exe backed up, and play happily.

 

Actually, no, the PC version does not have a disk check, if you're referring to DA2. You can play the game without having the CD in the drive.

 

Here's hoping the key can be activated on Steam. EADM has to be one of the worst digital distribution sytems around.

 

Lmfao, they're not including that? Sad. ME2 was a filler game that took a little bit of really well done storyline, and then stretched it to fill an entire game of collect a squadmate. So two subpar games when compared to their original, bundled together. Nice.

 

The smell of desperation is strong. I personally enjoy that this is to reward all their loyal fans. The fact ME2 racked up 2 million sales in the first week, it's hard to believe the majority of loyal fans don't already have the game, considering it been out for well over a year now.

And here I was hoping they would release a patch to actually fix the game. :facepalm

 

Rumors suggest Dragon Age III will be multiplayer.

 

Not totally multiplayer, a multiplayer component. I dunno, co-op with a friend, doing some badass combos could be pretty fuckin epic brah.

 

It goes against every single thing DA:O stood for, which was deep, engrossing SINGLEplayer.

 

Maybe I'm just tired, but is that a typo or sarcasm? >_>

 

That my friend, was pure stupidity.

I've been up all night :facepalm.

 

Hope its something like what Demon Souls did, if it has to have multiplayer.

 

I hope the wing they design this game in burns to the ground before it can get off the ground, but we all can't have what we want.

 

I laugh at the "RAAARRRG NO MULTIPLAYER IN MY DRAGON AGE" rage.

Maybe it's just because I remember DA:O being hailed as the spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate, it's not like having multiplayer ruined Baldurs Gate now is it?

 

Spiritual Successor. Bioware RPGs play nothing like Baldur's gate. And changing that gameplay to the extent that would be necessary to have multiplayer would ruin the entire point of playing these RPGs in the first place. If I want to play a fucking RPG, I want to play an actual RPG, like KOTOR or DA:O. If I want multiplayer, I'll go play Halo.

Or, you know, Dragon Age the way it would be with multiplayer: Fable 3. Many features, none of them polished.(Or much fun)

In short, fuck you.

 

And here I thought the franchise would never get any lower.
Oh Dragon Age, why are they raping you so?
