Dragon Age 2 Gameplay

I'll quote this users post from RPGcodex.

"So Dragon Age 2 is going to be a really bad Dynasty Warriors clone without the flair, the over-the-top style, and the crazyness?

Meh."

Nice quote, that is exactly how I feel. Bioware stated that the PC version would be similar to the previous version, so lets hope they keep to their promise. But then again, I don't really trust Bioware, with their "3 novels of text", "1000s of variables from previous game" and "100 planets to explore". I have never enjoyed one of their games since BG2 as well and they said DAO was the spiritual sequel to BG2 and not some repetitive dungeon crawler with lackluster roleplaying.

I feel sad... :( why Bioware, I trusted you... Well, at least The Witcher looks good. I'm so torn about this game, I don't know what to think. It's not Dragon Age, that is for sure... Wait, I'll be patient and wait to see some PC gameplay before I b*tch and moan.

Don't mind him, Dragon Age 2 will mop the floor with The Witcher 2! :PSkyWard20

I'm not sure if you're serious, so I won't direct this at you but:

The sequel to the best RPG this gen versus a Dynasty Warriors clone set int he Dragon Age universe, its like comparing Half Life 2 and Big Rigs at this point. (Awesome wise)

I dont know what to say:(

pppjjj

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that was up for you to decide. Am I going to have to stick IMO in my sig? Is it not obvious whenever someone says something, its their opinion? But factually DA2 looks like joke, while The Witcher 2 looks awesome, so. 110million

Well, you were bashing DA2 based on how the battle system looks, yet you bring in The Witcher(the battle system was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad)..

PS: IMO.

And the Witcher is *definitely* below games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

If the hallmarks of 'the best RPG this gen' would be dull, uninspired, embarrassingly silly, profanity-filled dialogue ( so much that it *actually* needed to get patched ), combat that is little above average plus 5 spells to boot and a lifeless 'neutral' protagonist, then yes, the Witcher is the best RPG this gen.

we are what?

6 months away from release...

oh thats right.

the cardinal rule.

never ever ever ever ever release footage of combat or anything until you are 100% complete. otherwise you get posts and fanboys running around like chicken little and the world is coming to an end.

I'm sorry, but the 'best RPG of this gen' award goes to Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2. The Witcher is below Obsidian, which will releass New Vegas soon; the Witcher is below Fable 2, which may lack complex moral choices, but is probably a lot more fun than the Witcher, if the first Fable is anything to go by.

Is that why people all over the place say that The Witcher is better than Dragon Age? Hell, even on Bioware's own forums they had a discussion on The Witcher and it soon turned into a bashing fest... bashing Bioware. I am sorry but The Witcher is better than anything Bioware has made this gen.

I've yet to see that thread. Most threads I saw about the Witcher on the BioWare forums say that they couldn't get into the Witcher at all. :lol:

Is that why Dragon Age has a higher metacritic score than the Witcher? Is that why The Witcher has a *lower* user score than Dragon Age (PC) even *here* on Gamespot? Is that why Dragon Age sold better?

You stop assuming that a few discussions equal the majority and I will too. ;)

Might have something to do with people claiming it's the greatest RPG this gen..

Hype is a good reason they scored higher, and polish, EVE Online scored in the 6's, but yet people consider it a top tier MMO, along with WoW. Oblivion scored better than Morrowind, yet Morrowind has a lot more depth whereas Morrowind got a better score than Daggerfall and yet, compared to daggerfall, it is really shallow.

I cant find all the links, but I remember on one poll it was slightly over 70% in favor of The Witcher. And here is the link which kind of turned into a Bioware bashing thread on their own forums. I can't find the thread for the other Witcher vs Dragon age, but in every single one I have seen I have seen the witcher win by around 50-70%.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with liking the DAO, but personally I thought it was Biowares worst game.

I think Eve online got a lot more expansions and updates which made the game better, so it's a bit different, but I've never played it. Also, hype could make a game score worse for all we know. You have no way of knowing if a game scores better or worse simply because of 'hype', which is a double-edged blade. Spore was hyped to oblivion, yet it didn't score *that* well, even though I think the score it got here on Gamespot is indeed too high.SkyWard20

Hype can indeed ruin games, Fable and Spore are examples of that.

But lets get back to the subject. As long as Bioware stays to their promise in that the PC version would control similarily to DAO. We will probably not get combat like this, and also there are probably a lot more spells than in the demo.

But yes, this demonstration was pretty horrid and my interest in this game is even lower. Thankfully they showed of the console version and not the pc version *relief*

Bioware have done nothing but make amazing games...

Did we not learn a thing from Mass Effect 2? I believe a lot of the same concerns arose...

The PC version will of course the the best, but I'll be getting the PS3 version.

On a side note, I have to say that I like the old design for the Dark Spawn much better. Game looks good, though.

we shall see what this holds

How Bioware has fallen. That looked terrible.

That looked absolutely horrible. Dragon Age (PC) had one of the best combat systems released in a very long time: It was very hard, very tactical and if you messed up it punished you. This looks like a action RPG. Could not possibly be more dissapointed in that.

As a RPG gamer, I'm very, very disappointed with Bioware's decision. :(

Instead of making the classes more meaninful, the combat more deep and strategic,bringing more explorable non-linear areas a la Baldur's Gate, Bioware went totally Dragon May Cry.

You can happily add me to that list. No other RPG comes close this generation.

I'm not the only one who noticed Queen's 'we are the champions' playing in the background? >.>

Another great series ruined by consoles...
