So its out.

Heres my top 4 reasons why this game is better than DA:O and you should buy it, like now.


1. Performance
DA:O ran like major poop on the consoles. DA2 is amazingly smooth. Granted character/environmental textures are on the lower side, but still, goddamnit the smoother framerate makes the game sooo much fun to play.


2. Voiced Hawke
Silent protagonist is gone. Now Hawke is fully voiced and you can always choose the 'funny' remark for some Commander Shepard-esque lol moments.


3. Combat
Omg. The combat. THE COMBAT. Whoeever @ Bioware decided to 'dumb down' the combat is A GENIUS. Gone are the days waiting for long skill cooldowns, high stamina cost, long stamina regen etc

Everything happens soooo fast now and so brutal.

Eg:
Heavy Blow in DA:O hits 1 target for X damge.
in DA2 its hits THREE targets and completely turns anybody party into body parts! And 20 seconds cooldown! TWENTY!


4. There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement.
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!!
There is no "Finish game on Hard/Nightmare" achivement!!!

Easy 1k!
Currently with DLC is around 1125k!
C'mon!

easy 1k eh?
no way on single play thru ler
I'm sure you'll need multiple play-thru,eg: human story, elves story, make love wif x, make love wif Y for full 1k hmm.gif
which i think i won't have the time for it

and also, DLC released on the game launch date? doh.gif
EA is trying to suck us dry dry.gif

Hawke is 2011's Commander Shepard!

even @ US the signature edition is sold out.

You pay more $10 i think for the Signature Edition and get access to the Exalted Prince DLC, which is also up on the marketplace for $10 too.

This time the CE got nothing fancy at all.

BUT

If you have a copy of Dead Space 2 you have access to the Isacc Clark armor.

I got the a very good sword for completing the demo, thus making my game so imbalance right now, hence its sooo fun.

first DA;O was initially design on PC then they decided to port to consoles. so u get crappier performance. DA2 decided to design for console.
2nd, i dont really expect the game to be long, since they just took them months to complete it.

anyway, DA;O have dlc during launch day. 2 dlcs to be exact.

just a heads up for anybody doing the play-through #2 achievement.

currently its bugged.
it states either complete DA2 a second time or complete it with a save from DA1.


you WILL only get it if you import a save from DA1. Confirm @ Bioware forums.


Other nasty bugs to look out for:
Isabella speed bug.
If you reach friendly state with her she will give you a 5% speed DEBUFF which STACKS OVERTIME. So don't use Isabella at your party to avoid this.

LE only for pre-order but they still got few on day launch, if the stok is no more, then is no more now
FYI: the launch DLC are included in LE

if buy via www.tsb.com.my, there is a lucky draw or some sort at www.gamers.com.my for each copy

luckily i decided to postpone my second playthrough. I was already getting bugged out from the isabella speed debuff. Hopefully the patch comes soon so i can uninstall it from the HDD.

The good thing is at least they kinda fixed the achievements on the exiled prince DLC.
