Hey, DA2 haters.....

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/02/11/dragon-age-ii-goes-gold-55-mins-of-footage/

Here a streamed play of it.

I hope Bioware delivers again.

It still doesn't look interesting to me, and I was a huge fan of the first title.

Meh a game made by Bioware that means it will be mediocre and made for people who don't want to play REAL rpg's.

No thanks I take The Witcher 2 over Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3.

I don't care if someone **** at me that WRPG isn't a genre, Western made RPGs play differently and are completely boring.

Skipping this for the witcher 2.MFDOOM1983

Question: why would a DA2 hater want to watch 55 minutes of it? :P

I think i would rather play the superior Witcher 2

Don't really wana see, I've seen enough to know certain things piss me off, like menu layout, character screens, they go for minimalist and simple but they just look dull. I'll still get it eventually, but was hoping they would not do more (or less in this case) of DA, I loved DA, but it was fairly dumbed down compared to previous Bioware fantasy RPGs, was hoping to get more depth this time around, not less. Even if the fighting is pretty much the same, a few things are flawed at the core. For example, not customizing allies, this is a very non-RPG thing to do, it was okay for ME cause it was an TPS, its not okay for an RPG :| On top of that, the fact that you can only queue one attack because the developers said you won't ever need to use more than one attack when fighting regular enemies is such a stupid concept, its pretty much like dynasty warriors, where you fight a ton of weak enemies, instead of smaller groups of tough ones.

I don't know how I feel about it taking place mostly in one city. In DAO you traveled around a country.Parasomniac

Personally I don't care whether it's an RPG or what ever, never did, I just want to play a good game.ModeDude

I can agree with that. Bring on the RPG's!

The Witcher 1 and 2 actually are REAL rpg's and very good ones too unlike Mass Effect 2/3 and Dragon Age 2 which are just 2 TPS'ers and a button masher.

Why does the combat look so one-way? Can enemies not block your attacks or attack you if your attacking them?

Bleh.

[QUOTE="110million"][QUOTE="dreman999"] My god. I'm sick a tried of you whiner. They change one thing and it's the end of the world. You hate it so much state that you never see pc gameplay but here itis and you won't watch it. You then say the game play suck, but never play even with the Demo up and you'll it a flop even if it scores well. Just watch it.....all of it. Make aleap of faith, and then say something. Because if you don't everything you say will have no ground to stand on.dreman999

DA2 is an excellent example of PC gaming holding back the industry. If it wasn't for the PC, DA2 would a deep, fast paced hack and slash game with an above average story. But now just look at it.... for it to appeal to the PC crowd they are keeping half-assed RPG elements and in order for the game to be playable with mouse and keyboard they turned into a mediocre, shallow and slow hack and slash title. Basically instead of being more like Ninja Gaiden or DMC its designed to have a shallow point and click gameplay to appeal to the PC crowd.

I think I should start my own topic with this.

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="110million"] Not watching 55 minutes of it BECAUSE I don't want to ruin it for myself, I never watch more than teaser or short trailer for a game, because I like to have everything be new when I see it for myself. They didn't change just one thing, but I won't get into this in another thread. I've seen PC gameplay months ago, and it looks fine, I admitted that it looked more like DA:O then I was expecting, which is nice enough, but less customization and the lame wheel where you pick an emotion with a short few words (like in ME) really pisses me off regardless. Never said I wasn't going to get it, its just unlikely that I would pay full price for it. 110million

So many butthurt RPG fans in this thread it's fantastic.

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="110million"] It's not as bad as you think it is, really. It doesn't do anything to lessen the role playing experiance. Your just nickpiking. 110million

Is Deus Ex not an RPG anymore because it's an FPS and it doesn't have enough little squares to fill in on its character sheet?

[QUOTE="Tetrarch9"] As opposed to little girls with high pitched voices, and a laughable story in JRPG's?BigDaddyPOLO

Yes.

So every JRPG that's not "anime" is heavily influenced by WRPGs?

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] Ye it will probably have better gameplay and far better role playing compared to DA2.

Sorry when your genre is made up mostly of that it's kind of hard to change perception, probably why it's not doing nearly as well this gen.
