[QUOTE="MBirdy88"]Dragon Age was a generic graphic whoring pathetic excuse for a "successor" to anything let alone baldurs gate or nwn .... Neon_NoirIt's like the idea behind it was to make the absolute most generic looking and sounding fantasy game imaginable. Yup.... its unbelievable what hype and company rubbish can get me to rate generic crap like that as 9.5s... It took everything from baldurs gate and NwN series, stripped it, dumbed it down, raped it, slapped modernish graphics on it and called it a day.
[QUOTE="lx_theo"]And I'm saying that not liking the game and saying it was horrible because it didn't live up to expectations are idiotic. Largely because there is absolutely no logic that follows it being in the same level of quality of actually horrible games. Those are plentiful and its clear as day DA2 is a much better game.
You happen to be a great example of doing stupid things like this. Get over it.

Expectations are part of a game as much as gameplay is you brainlagging dungbag.
Wow, you actually believe that? lol. The things you see on the internet, I guess. FYI, expectations define your experience, not the actual quality of the game. A bad game and a game not for you are entirely different things. I don't like FPSs, but I'm not going to say they're bad games just because I don't enjoy them. If I expected a FPS to be like the games I enjoyed, it has no bearing on the quality of the game.[QUOTE="lx_theo"]And I'm saying that not liking the game and saying it was horrible because it didn't live up to expectations are idiotic.

I had zero expectations and I still thought it was a bad game. Recycled environments, bad writing (unfortunate, as the frame narrative was a nice idea), combat mechanics got worse, characters were completely re-written for no good reason, dungeon design was outright bad, etc. There's also the fact that the PC version barely runs properly. So yeah, I'd classify that as a bad game. And unfortunately for you, the fact that you disagree doesn't make me wrong or "idiotic." It also doesn't make you wrong. I do love your incessant need to jump down my throat over my opinions, though. It's endearing. :lol: You are good for a laugh. I don;t really care for your opinions like that no. Like I said, you're just a great example of the stupidity that prevails here. It shines even more brightly since you don't have many strong fanboy flags up in the wind. Between the elitism, the mistaking of subjectivity as objectivity, the attacking of the most trivial ideas, the mounds of posts with very little insightful in them, and much more, you just act as a great example for this place. Its not so much you, but more the comparisons that can be made pretty easily between this place's populace and yourself. If you have a problem with that, then remember what little people here do. Its the internet... No one cares, so get over yourself.[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="lx_theo"] And I'm saying that not liking the game and saying it was horrible because it didn't live up to expectations are idiotic.

Was the point to make them interesting? Gifs are fun, and can express more precise emotions than emoticons. So... Sorry for having fun with his denial, lol?I hated Dragon Age 2 while I love both TW1 and TW2, so the Witcher is the obvious and rightful winner.
I find them just about equally mediocre. DA:O would've been great if BioWare had slashed about 60 hours worth of filler, TW1 is just a clusterf*ck of wonky combat and turrible writing, DA2 had some nice ideas about modernizing and streamlining the WRPG but forgot to build a compelling gameworld around them, and TW2 had some nice (if still a little weird) combat and atmospheric tones but again sh*t the bed in the writing department.
I guess if I had to choose I'd give Dragon Age the nod because it avoids being offensively bad the way The Witcher can be at times, but that ain't exactly a ringing endorsement.Â

And like I said, he;s a great example of people trying to play off their opinion as an objective fact. He does it all the time. Objectively, the game isn't bad when you compare it to actual bad games or simply let it stand on its own. System wars loves to do this. Just look at a number of thew posts here.Â
If you'd like to go back to how it started. I literally used him as an example of people doing this. I didn't go off on him or anything. I explained to him why iI used him as an example after he complained that I did , and sat back as he tried to attack me over little things like grammar in response. Simple as that.

Usually his Origins bashing is accompanied by praise for Dragon Age II and The Witcher as a series. He's an odd one, that texasgoldrush.Ohhh this is tough. Honestly I love both. It did take me a while to get into the first Witcher though, but once I did it was a good game. Overall I would probobly give the edge to dragon age since it uses turnbased combat.
Also, I also liked Dragon Age II as well, the only shortcoming was the reused environments, but everything else was fine. The combat was the same but just speed up slightly. Also liked talking Hawk, but maybe it's because I usually leave it the default character, did the same in Mass Effect. Game still lasted me around 40 hours, sure it was shorter but I still enjoyed it.

I haven't played either! Though I did get the Witcher the other day, though. I'll probably give it a shot after I play through some of the Fallout series.PannicAtackÂ
The original Witcher is solid. Very enjoyable. Combat seems to be hit or miss with a lot of people, though.
