I've been playing DA2 and its easily Biowares worst game. First they simplify Mass Effect 2 turning into a dime a dozen action game with an above average plot, now with Dragon Age they simplify their "classic rpm homage" game whose purpose was to emulate Baldurs Gate and games of that type. Why even make this game if you are going to do this?
This game is Mass Effect with swords, it is not unique at all. Combat was turned into a LOL LOLZY LOOK ITS AN ANIMATED 300 stupid action garbage animationfest. Whats sad is that Bioware is the only company that was making classic rpgs. We have Elder Scrolls, quake 1 axes only. We have Diablo, non rpg. Then we have JRPG Myst style adventure games with easy as battles. Nobody makes classic RPGs anymore, not even bioware, and it is sad.
Bioware, keep action garbage out of our games. Please if you want to make over the shoulder garbage action games stick with console, I do not want to be convinced to buy this trash again. One more game like this and Bioware will really have lost its luster having its label on a box, and it will signify the death of the CRPG genre.
I was hoping that Mass Effect 2s simplification was just the game being streamlined to a shooter-rpg and that they thought Dragon Age would be the classic style rpg they have promised to us. However Bioware is showing here they are no longer interested in making good games. Just games for bros to say LOL THAT WAS COOL at.
Also WTF is with the millions of DLC for this game? Liking it on facebook = dlc.... preorder = dlc.... any action other than playing the game = dlc.
God this game is the WORST. WTF were they thinking? They stopped making DND games because of Atari ing with them, then EA bought them, and this is what we get. I would rather of had a million mediocre NWN games than this.
Everything that was good about Bioware is absent from this most recent game. NWN1 release, unpatched and without player made modules that made the game great, was far better than this. This is ALMOST like playing that Troika TOEE abortion
