Why aren't people talking about this game: Dragon Age II

Aparently the whole point of the offer is to celebrate the fact they sold 1 million copies in 2 weeks. Not so bad.

Well, the game was hyped and marketed a lot.

Also, when you hit things they go splat.

Kinda curious how the PC sales are compared to 360&PS3.

Well, I found these (from gamrreview.vgchartz.com):

XBOX 360

Week 1 - 392,508
Week 2 - 128,897
Week 3 - 61,735

PS3

Week 1 - 163,410
Week 2 - 61,210
Week 3 - 35,455

If they're accurate, and if the total sales for week 1 + week 2 was exactly 1 million, then the PC version sold 250,000 copies in the first 2 weeks.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Figured the PC version would be doing worse than the console version... but then again that applies to any cross-platform release nowadays.

Sex sells.

BTW, that's Isabela, the pirate captain you meet in Dragon Age Origins in The Pearl.

I finally got round to finishing Dragon Age Origins! Well I restarted over and played it how it should be played not real time but tactical, issuing commands to my group, leveling them up not auto level, using that space bar after every command & repeat much more slower gameplay but more satisfying than just running in there with auto pilot. Playing this way I was able to up it from normal to Hard. Enjoyed the game immensely with this playstyle. Played as a Mage this time round with the Arcane warrior build. Yeah ok Mage is Overpowered.

Got the expansion to play and ended up getting the DLC - all of them!, played through Witchhunt so far. Though what a failed ending that was

Dragon Age Origins is one of the best rpgs Ive played in a long time will probably stay on my hdd for a few years. The replay value is there.

I'm replaying Origins as well while staying away from DA2. Thinking to get Awakening if it's still available from local retailer but I don't know . . . . that Hobby Master 1:72 T-55 looks tempting too.

I picked up the expansion on an auction site here infact I get all my games from Trademe Auction site cause there are plenty of wholesale traders. When Shogun 2 came out here it costs $98.95 in stores the day it was out, on the same day on TradeMe I brought it brand new for $54. Pays to shop around.

I'm sure there still would be new copies of DA Awakenings in stores and at bargain prices.
