What consoles did to Dragon Age **56k**

Isometric view? You don't need that, over the shoulder is better. You can't see how cool the fight looks from that far.

lol this is actually how console players will play the game.:D

from Neogaf, funny thread

.

What about the dialog tree. Now that's fun.

Baldur's Gate, exclusive pc game from Bioware

.

.

DA:O. Multiplatform with heavy pc influence

.

.

DA2. The game players are considering buying for consoles over pc because it plays "better".

Yep, all the consoles fault, blame shouldnt fall on the developers AT ALL.

The simpleton console players are to blame.:P

All I've got to say is:

That is one f'ing scary smile. I'm going to have nightmares.

I love DA2 combat. The original was just so boring!

Sigh....if you don't get what you want, blame console gamers - seems to be a ridiculously popular trend over here now. Blame Bioware, enough people enjoyed DA:O on consoles. Also that Baldurs Gate dialogue tree is ridiculous :PRavensmash

Sad thing is, I could probably read all of that before a character in DA2 finishes his/her lines.

I didn't finish reading it.

That response coming from a dynasty warriors fan, tells a lot about the DA2 gameplay.

??? so giving people what they want is a bad thing, if anything this makes me respect bioware because they listen to their fans, don't buy it if it bothers you.

That ain't the combat though, by that i mean it does not represent the full game's combat. That's from that dudes story in the first segment, it's supposed to be like that because you're playing in that particular story the dude is telling, and he's lying and overreacting. It's supposed to be that way. Combat will be more normal, in standard gameplay.

C'mon, man.. i ain't even planning to buy DA2, i don't care about that game. I still have to finish DA:O, and i have plenty of mods for it.. And even i can know what's going on.

As for the rest of your points.. well..

Bioware is tryin to make some money off console gamers. Just because they severely dumbed down the complex dialogs to a laughable point, doesn't mean it ain't gonna be fun..

I guess...

Either way, i don't really care, hundreats of mods for DA:O awaits me.

For me DA2 >>>>>>>>>>> DA origins.

I don't understand why they made all these changes, I thought the whole point of dragon age was to be like baulders gate.

The original was on consoles, so.....No. Can't blame the consoles this time. Sorry PC fanboys.

But it is like Baldur's Gate, my dear Watson!

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. ;)

they are just trying to make the game open to more players , and demo was good to me they will have difficulty settings if u want a challenge

BioWare said that even though Origins was more of a PC game it still ended up selling better on consoles. It seems logical that they would put more of a focus on the console versions. I'm getting it for PC just like Origins and I really like all the changes they made.Zero5000X

also its not like dragon age orgin had the most deepest combat system ever either, wasn't it just clicking/button mashing and hot keys? i fail to see how them just taking that forumula and making it look cool in action is a bad thing

Well, I'll be playing it on the PC.

1. I pre-ordered it, cancelling is a non-starter.:P

2. It's a BioWare game, and it beats the heck out of Activision.:lol:

3. Perhaps with enough threads on the BioWare forums, some good tweaks will be coded into patches for PC gamers.

That's a shame, I never personally liked baulder's gate style games, got the original when it first came out and never got more than a few hours into it. I can definitely see the appeal for people who enjoy that style of rpg though.

Anyone know the sales figures for the original? I thought the pc version sold more.

I am sure the feedback was from both PC and console gamers. Although developers do take feedback from the community, they do what they feel is best for the franchise. There is no one to blame BUT the develepors.

Not necessarily. If DA2 will support mods, just like the first, then gamers will mold the game exactly how they see fit. It ain't gonna be a problem.

Yea I know right. It seems some people think the blame is all on console and console owners. Last time I checked we didint make the game.

I don't think it makes sense to blame console gamers because the new game sucks. Console gamers wanted change, they dind't want a crappy game, if developers can't take fan feedback and use it to IMPROVE their title then they are to blame, not the players.

what do you mean on the pc? the exact same strategy were used on the console versions i'm sure, whoa u telling me dragon age for the ps3 and 360 had a different combat system then the pc? i did not know that....:roll:

Chris_Williams

From what I understand, there were less enemies in the console versions, as well as combat being made easier/more mashable.

D&D system in the Infinity engine? I like it, a bit more strategic, and it adds to my variety of play st.yles. I feel that if i play to much of the same thing, i get bored of gaming fast. Playing something different always fixes that up for me. That's why i play a lil' bit of all st.yles. I don't particulary dislike anything, i love almost every genre & st.yle of gameplay out there.

Except racing games.

I only know of a couple factually, but the rest makes sense i guess.

If they do release mods, it's possible the camera can be modified. Mods don't replace the game's original coding, it's a simple override.

Yes because reading hours of dialogue before you choose one to be read aloud is MUCH better then an actual good dialogue system that gets the point across. Apparently consoles can't do that, except for in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Oblivion and all those other games on consoles that do just that and are no better off for it.
