TBH I always thought Witcher was kinda overrated.

And the E3 demo of Witcher 2 ripped off ME2's force field scene rofl.

IMO, Witcher is great because it has a very strong branching system in the story, where the decisions you made can influence things 5 hours later. Thats the beauty of the game, where none of the Bioware games manage to do so.

The first game, in some way, is still much better than DA:O or ME2, but my favourite among all of them is still ME2.

Newsflash Genius

I didn't even play DA2. I merely find your argument that players are a much more credible source for reviews hilarious.

But thanks for generalizing me anyway, I'm sure you are a gaming connoisseur and anything I play is well below your standards.

Calling names wont make you any smarter.

Yeah, i think believing what players feel is the best way to gauge how good is the game. Sure there are times that it isnt true, but most of the time, it gives a very good indication. Getting a 3.0 to 4.0 across 3 platforms for a Bioware game, doesnt it tells you that something is terribly wrong or it just tells you that players from all 3 platforms just want to troll around for fun?

If not, are you suggesting that everyone should buy every single game out there to try them out? Maybe you could, but im sure a lot cant.

Bias? Getting such a huge difference between the media and player's reviews, i dont think that is called bias. It seems like there are also something called money involved, where EA is paying those reviewer to give good reviews, despite it's a piece of crap. I like EA, especially Richetello took over, but this is just way way way too much in exploiting a potential franchise.

Im starting to find your arrogance even more hilarious, just like some people of your gang, extremely arrogant, childish and stubborn.

Yea, i know you guys will be bashing me again in your lovely chatroom.

As a fan of Black Isle / Bioware RPG, I think this DA2 is one step forward and two steps back. As a fan, anyone will agree that I'm biased against DA2. When I played the demo, I was awed. After playing the game, I was disappointed.

DAO had most formulas right, although it can't compete with Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment or even Neverwinter Nights. DA2 however, did not inherit any of those great games. It's a lovechild of ME and DAO, but it inherited everything bad about them. For once, I felt I do not want to replay a game from Bioware.

I just hope other RPGs coming this year would be better.

It is sad to see Bioware pulling off a stunt like this, as it just show everyone that, they just want your money, rather than building an innovative brand new experience. I think DA2 would be great if DA2 is given, say 6 to 12 months more time to develop.

I dont think there is anything to do with lack of budget, as DA:O did very well in terms of sales.

To be honest, i only liked the combat in the demo, as it's faster and more action based, but hated the horrible camera, the environments and generally how the game looks like.

I doubt ME3 gonna be as good as even Dragon Age 1 when it comes to RPG.

When they said they tailor the gameplay for those run and gun people (a.k.a CoD idiots), i have no more confidence that it will have any decent role playing.

It's gonna be a shooter with a good story.

Sounds like Mass Effect 2. But it can't be worse than DA2.

They literally recycled every location in Kirkwall for all the chapters. Damn lazy developers. So if anyone doesn't like the identical caves in Oblivion then DA2 is even worse since you see the same old shit for the whole entire game.

Moreover, the biggest mistake is removing the isometric view. Trying to beat the Ancient Rock Wraith in 3rd person isn't exactly fun. Could have been so much easier micromanaging in isometric perspective.

Yea, ME3 sounds like ME3, where the RPG elements is just choose 3 parts of your gun, pick different branches of a spell or choosing character attributes. Not much improvement seriously. So far.

Removing isometric view just put me off from finishing DA1. DA2 pretty much didnt exist for me.
