Anyone got this game yet how's the gameplay compared with the first?

I have a rather ill feeling seeing the click fest action. I guess that comes with age. I don;t mind that in Diablo 2 but in Dragon Age? It just seems a bit clumsy with the hyper fast movement and strikes. Makes it all too unreal and reduces the overall immersion. More typical of Chinese RPG.

Can get it rather cheap though and Bioware usually makes great RPG so I'm wondering your take after trying the game yourself.

You know, bioware games are GREAT interactive movies. But the replay value tends to be a bit on the lowside, and certainly not worth the 60 dollar price of admission. Seems like all new releases have increased price by 10 dollars.

Id wait for a GOTY edition.

it's about 40 here

but the sequel gained lower marks. Some players are angered even by the fact that it now more like an action adventure game than a full fledged PC RPG. A lot has been simplified to cater to console.

In other words, its mass effect 2 with swords?

At least Mass effects gives you realistic animation. Dragon Age 2 fighting movements are so ridiculously fast.

It's now more like a typical Chinese or typical Japanese online RPG

EWWWWWWWWWW.

Ok.. I'll never buy it now.

I'm liking it so far.

Well, there's quite a bit of cleavage.

Installed the high-res textures? Action controls or normal?

Cleavage is good. I can live with cleavage.

Schoolgirl , sailor scouts, and anime outfits bad. Very bad. I cringe whenever i see them. Japan needs to come up with their next abomination and move on to something new already.

Ducimus · 03-08-11, 09:56 PM

I see what you mean by animations.

I'll defiantly wait the 2 or 3 years for the GOTY edition.

Oh please fill us in the details.

Or we will be force to do what you wouldn't want us to do to you!. We do want to remind you that we have a flag pole and a toothpick. I'd like to point out that the flag pole is very very blunt on its end.

Start talking!

Btw I mean by typical Chinese and Japanese action RPG is by its fast fighting animations i.e fighting moves and nothing else.

TteFAboB · 03-09-11, 12:12 AM

Wow. I hadn't noticed the Japanese-style moves/animations in the demo.

It's an immersion breaker indeed; we give up all hope of having a half-decent fantasy to dive straight into nutty-land; or 5 YEAR OLD OMG AWLSUM!!!!!!!!!!-land. The game is already pushing it with all the impossible magic spells (i.e. rain of arrows), and now the party characters are also super-human. Great. What's next? Dragon Age 3: The Justice League v. Ferelden.

It'll be really odd to have these characters talking so serious, and a minute later go VROOOM, SWOOOSH, dashing and jumping all over the place, swinging their huge plastic swords at the speed of light. Insert Coin. Insert plausibility. Insert harmony between oh-so-serious storyline and ridiculously childish combat.

What an interesting turn of events. A short while ago I didn't put much faith in Shogun 2 and hoped for DA2; now I'm placing my bets on Shogun 2 and being disappointed by DA2.

This better be better than all of this. Steam doesn't serve refunds.
