Witcher 2 dev calls out Dragon Age 2s graphics. Dragon Age 2 looks Horrible

I was very disappointed with the DAO and it's not looking any better for DA2. Graphics don't look any better than the first game. Which looked extremely dated when it came out.

You fooled me once Bioware, but not again. Honestly when they can put something out that looks like Mass Effect 2 and then they show this I'm starting to wonder if they're made by the same company.

Real fans of Bioware don't care about the graphics. Was Mass Effect the first Bioware game you played?Karnage108

I paid less attention to the graphics, and more to the actual game, and came out with an enjoyable experience. Dragon Age wasn't without faults, but overall the package was enjoyable. DAII will likely be a similar experience.

I hate the artstyle they choosed. It's too clean, almost cartoony. The only thing that can save it is the gameplay. I freaking loved the tactical team gameplay in DA:O for pc. Plus there is no other upcoming rpg that can rival it in this area. The others are solo action (not saying that that's bad, just different)

Nah, that's not a problem really. I'll just up the difficulty. Plus modders will fix what may be wrong anyway. From some of the recent videos I've seen that tactical feel is still there for pc so I've still have hope.

So yeah the only thing I hate is the art style which may be overshadowed by great gameplay and story.

then how do you explain ME2's success

The screens and videos I have seen lead me to believe it should be subtitled "Raid on turd mountain". The gameplay dosnt look the promising either.

I just hate it because of the on disc dlc. What a bunch of money hungry bastards.

From the recent video previews I think it looks fine.

Neverwinter Nights was a butt-ugly game and I loved every millisecond of it. EVEN THE LOADING SCREENS. Adam_the_Nerd

I wish Bioware would try something other than the same old linear rpg with a quest hub. Imagine if they tried something like an open world sandbox rpg like oblivion. Could be great! Imagine all the DLC they could cash in on with an open world rpg!

It's not all about the looks.GeneralShowzer

I found DAO to look just fine... If the graphics of that game is what ruined for you, than you have really shallow standards..sSubZerOo

did you play it on PC? actually plays pretty great on it, and looks nice if you max it up...got a 9.5 for a reason :)

you missed my point and didn't really answer my question. Which version did you play? Played and looked great on PC, and GS doens't give out 9.5's for no reason.

The graphics are not the real problem of Dragon Age II. The gameplay is far uglier than the visuals.

No the fact of the matter is 99% of the offiical reviews thought the game looked fine.. And why are you even making a topic on this when you clearly hated the first.. So basically trolling.

Who in his sane mind buys an RPG for its graphics??LookAnDrolL

I think graphics are more important for a rpg than any other genre. Rpgs are the most immersive games, trying to put you in a role in this world. How this world and characters look is important, a lot. I think one of the main reasons I loved Mass effect is because how everything looks. The artstyle is amazing, worlds and cities were beautiful and the design of characters and armor is just great. Graphics may not break a game but may add a lot if done right.

Off-topic, but does anyone know when exactly does Dragon Age 2 takes place after the first game? Trying to google it, no luck so far.Luxen90

Loved DAO. This one for me does so many things wrong.

The demo was distributed for German magazines

Gamestar and PC Games which gave it a 88 and 87.

Many features are locked in the demo.

The gameplay videos are already posted and the demo in German was available 3 days ago.

From the reviews the enviroments are copy/paste and the ending:

[spoiler] is a predictable, and unsatisfying cliffhanger [/spoiler]

Demo is out on the 22.2 for the rest of the world.

About the graphics, these are not essential in a RPG IMO, the rest and I followed the game closely is disapointing however for me.

[QUOTE="tenaka2"] Don't worry the second one has changed anyway, think of it as Balder's Gate dark alliance.Shielder7

What? Witcher isn't BioWare's game.

I loved Dragon Age Origins, but not for the visuals, they were fine just not impressive. I loved the gameplay and characters. DA2 is clearly a visual upgrade (I just hope they fixed the frame skips) though not the standard of Mass Effect 2 and I am very much looking forward to it for the same reasons as the first.

I like nice visuals, very much in fact but they aren't everything.

Graphics are the least of Dragon Age's problems.

The first game was a ****ing waste of time; it was an endless combat slog, and a poorly designed one at that. The gameworld was tiny and shallow; the story was awful, besides being incredible generic. How anyone managed to squeeze one iota of enjoyment out of that trash is beyond me.

Now we have a DLC gutted sequel pumped out in no time at all that looks to be exactly the same sort of thing, only worse, and there's people (real BioWare fans, amirite?) actually defending this monstrosity?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not confused about that last bit; it does take all kinds gentlemen, and perhaps BioWare games simply must exist so that everyone else can have nice things (New Vegas, for instance).

The barrel does need a bottom, after all.

real nerds will always find something to complain about despite how good the game will be.
