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

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="timmy00"]

So much complaining. :|

People need to stop clinging to the past.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] you look at the root and the PC gamers didn't buy the game in high enough quantities *and pirated it more* Maybe if they had developers would cater to them more...Chris_Williams

[QUOTE="110million"][QUOTE="Captain__Tripps"] It is ultimately the developers fault, but they are doing it for a more simplistic audience on the consoles.WilliamRLBaker

[QUOTE="Ballroompirate"]

[QUOTE="timmy00"]^this.

Dynasty Warriors is a hack and slash. DA2 isn't.

You forgot PC gamers don't know what a hack and slash game is cause theres been none for the PC.

E3 2008: Dragon Age: Origins First Look

"That was a brief look at Dragon Age, but the good news is that since the game has been in development for so long, it's very far in development. There's still work that has to be done, but BioWare plans on shipping it for the PC early next year. Meanwhile, Zeschuk said that BioWare was developing the game on the PC, playing the game on the PC, and designing the game for the PC, though the company does plan on delivering Dragon Age to consoles sometime the road. Further details about the game itself will be released over the coming months."

"However, it is unclear is this is a port of the PC title or a different game set in the same universe"

Dragon Age: Origins Set for 2nd Half of 2009

The PC version of BioWare's anticipated role-playing game Dragon Age: Origins has been delayed. Previously it was thought the game would ship toward the end of March of this year, with the console versions scheduled for later on in 2009. Now the PC version is being readied to be shipped in the last half of 2009 to "coincide with the release of the console versions."

The game was delayed in order to make the console versions.. it was going to launch on PC march but since they announce the console versions it was delayed..its in plain english

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"]Has anyone who calls it a hack and slash here, actually played a hack and slash? Just curious..... :lol:Chris_Williams

Because they're different series. They were obviously geared towards a different crowd. Let's face it, Dragon age has much more rpg stuff than mass effect. I mean I liked both, but they're very different.

I also like how you were saying that the console and pc version of dragon age's difficulty were the same, and then when proved wrong you didn't bring it up anymore.

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Yeah, comming from a guy who doesn't even care about the franchise to begin with, lol bioware sure hit their target this time. I fully blame bioware for the situation, they simply sold out for the money and yet another rpg maker dies in the process.edo-tensei

[QUOTE="timmy00"]

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Keep your mindset if you like, I could care less if ALL games have to be accesible to everyone, let's all just forget about challange and gameplay depth. See, fun is very subjective because we don't game for the same reasons. Streamlining franchaises is not "fun," it's dealing in absolute.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"]

[QUOTE="timmy00"] Nice try being smart. DA2 isn't out yet. Wait for the game to come out and judge. I could care less if you think the Bioware is killing DA2. I enjoyed it. I will buy it. I could care less if it's consolized. Go cry somewhere else. :]

[QUOTE="timmy00"]

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] then fight your own battles somewhere else **** you don't even care for this franchise, you cr me a river.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="timmy00"]Implying games can't be accessible and have challenge/gameplay depth.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="timmy00"]lolz. I played the first one. It was ok except for the combat. I just don't like how slow it was. DA2 somewhat fixed this. I(Well my sis) will buy DA2 and enjoy it. :]

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Then that type of rpg is not for you, so yes, I blame bioware for selling out.GeneralShowzer

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] DA2 is pretty much the same game as DA:O.....Ravensmash

I'm not mad, I'm surprised how ill informed you are.

There's a an option to set auto-attack, so that the fighting will be almost EXACTLY the same as the original. The only difference is that its faster faced animations with an epicness.

And you can hardly blame Bioware for trying to push their dialogue wheel beyond just Mass Effect. I mean, look at that PC only MMO, The Old Republic. Guess what it has?

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] ..whoa, isn't the dragon age 2 dialogue just like mass effect? you basically had good, bad or neutral, i didn't see anyone complaining about that. Chris_Williams

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] I complained about that I still call ME2 a shooter more than a real wrpg. I'm talking about the Baldur Gate days although many here probably don't know about it they were some of the most complex and customizable games ever and you actually had to know how to read, now you don't even need to read just look at the little face before the text. Next game you will just get the face.edo-tensei

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] ... look, i loved baldurs gate and baldurs gate 2 and so forth, i love western rpg's because you get so many options to plan out how the game will turn out for you, i honestly don't see why all you guys are tripping on dragon age 2. its a video game not a novel, i loved dragon age and like dragon age 2, you know i think i'm taking this better because i'm a console gamer mainly, its the pc gamers who feel like bioware betrayed them, why? i don't know? Ragnarok1051

Dragon Age 2 is almost exactly the same as Dragon Age: Origins... I don't see the humor, it's just perpetuated by the false perception people had before and are unwilling to let go of now. The dialogue being more simple is a bad thing? That Baldur's Gate stuff is no better than the stuff below, and it's false depth anyway when you talk about practicality. rolo107

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Well that's simply because you don't love the franchise like some of us, that why you're being so cynical about it. Let's say your favorite franchise does a 360 you, I'm sure you wouldn't complain :roll:Ragnarok1051

:lol::lol:

Ahh that's brilliant.:P

Want an even better example of reading in a RPG? Go and purchase Zork 1, it's all text, but a very smart parser.:lol:

i mean i could have sworn your just clicking really fast and there was strategy involve when it came to bosses or alot of enemies surrounding you but it was still a mouse masher/button masher. Chris_Williams

Nice catch dude. :P

I think simplifications made from limited hardware could be blamed upon consoles (should it be justified), but simplifications made in things like dialogue etc seems a bit of a stretch to blame on consoles. That's more the fault of a dev appealing to a wider audience, rather than the fault of a set standard of hardware.

Wouldn't blame him. He didn't play it on pc.

Unless by "360 on you" he meant xbox360 :D , people on other sites do use the term "XBOX'D" whenever a game gets simplified or dumbed down.

yak yak yak, it never ends with these people. I loved DA: O and I really enjoyed the DA2 demo, if you don't like how DA2 is going to end up then go play that witcher game you PC guys are always yammerin' on about instead.

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