New Dragon Age 2 gameplay

Hey SW. Some weeks ago I posted a thread in which there was some DA2 gameplay. Here is some more.

This is the exaggerated version of the game (The story is told in a "Framed Narrative", the dwarf we see at the end (Varric) is telling the story of Hawke (the main character) to Casandra (A templar inquisitor who is interested in Hawke), he will exaggerate the beginning (that is why the Darkspawn (enemies) literally explode) )

Yet another game to be hindered by casualisation

Ah, no block button. My hype is A so far.YuriSH

Just exactly what kind of game do you think this is? :?

Anyways, I really prefer the DAO system where its all tactics and spellcasting orientation, while having a pause button.

As a BioWare fan, I'm kinda disappointed by that gameplay footage of DA2. It looks like Fable's combat style mixed with Dynasty Warriors. I know BioWare is well known for their highly praised RPG's but I think their taking "action RPGs" a little too far. Still it's too early to judge so I'm hoping that's not the final build on the combat.

Do Bioware eve make RPG's anymore?

Hey look! that one guy took out 30 darkspawn at once. The casuals will just eat this up.

Haters gonna hate. I still don't think it looks great but it looks like a massive improvement over DA:O as far as consoles are concerned. Looks can be decieving however. It's also funny how so many don't seem to grasp the 'over-exaggerated story' aspect.

Great I was hoping I would be able to play it with my feet so I can still chat on Skype ¬_¬ its hard to feel hyped for this when its nothing like the first (which I loved).

ewww

Bit dissapointed was just hoping for a slight upgrade on DAO's combat system maybe with the ability to que 4 or 5 actions for each party member.

EDIT- Hyping AA

Why would you do this, Bioware? Juggernaut140

Hmm looks ok. Though im tired of seeing the same space. Im also happy to see a ps3 version up and running.

I think they said that in the PC version, you'll be able to do everything you could do in Origins.

So I guess we'll have our tactical combat after all :P Hopefully

And tbh, that looks more like console gameplay, judging by both combat and graphics.

Seems like Bioware took a few pages out of their ME2 design book when creating DA 2.

I just gagged:?

ugh..bioware..what did you do to the combat system ?lawlessx

They made it more similar to witcher in terms of camera perspective and turn the combat system into an action hack and slash....nice!!

Watches more of the video.....make that alot hack and slash, might as well buy fable 3 instead :lol:

Anyway i like the cinematic feeling.

Personally I hated DAO combat system, so this looks better for me.

No, that sounds like bull to me. It is not more fun to watch, it looks terrible. There are fights that are more easily won when you take 100% full control of each and every action a team mate takes, fights that were not just attack and wait for it to finish.

I am 100% sure that there won't be any fights in DA2 nearly as hard as some in DA1, its not like DA1 was hard in any regard, but I'm expecting it will get even easier. If I wanted dynasty warriors, I would play that, otherwise I was hyped for sooooooooooooooo long for Dragonage, and it mostly delivered, a bit too close to the LOTR plot and such, but still a great game. I enjoyed it a lot more than Mass Effect at least, and now their like hey, lets take a game that sold crazy well, and make it terrible, to appeal to console gamers, cause apparantly thats what they want in games. :|

it doesn;t look as good as DAO

fro what i have seen so far, they are removing everything which made the first game good.

The people bashing or moaning... Do you realise the game is nowhere near finished? Maybe it's just a demo of the attack system, with no defending involved? Just a thought... Like the GT5 demos, they didn't put everything in as it really isn't neccessary to have the weather system to preview the damage system... It just means more work to put things in that won't be shown.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if blocking was automatic.

Another example of how consoles ruin gaming in general. The console crowd just like to mash buttons without any thinking involved.
