Of course not everybody buys movies either, I know I will never buy a copy of a movie. Instead I wait till it shows up on tv, or if I must see it, rent it.

Dragon Age II Goes Gold, 55 Mins Of Footage

That should give a good impression of the game.

Arclight · 02-22-11, 04:24 PM

Demo is available: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011...ii-demo-is-go/

Combat is pretty much a splatterfest now, Do not want.

TteFAboB · 02-24-11, 09:32 AM

I loved the new splatterfest. DA 1 is far too MMO like and sluggish.

Don't get me wrong. I'm an X-Com guy, I'm a Jagged Alliance 2 man, I'm a subsimmer, a space shuttle simmer and even a bus simmer, I'm your methodical, slow-paced, turn-based tactical man. Tactical. Not MMO.

Stupid of Bioware to divide the players like this though. I'd add a DA 1 mode in DA 2, just as I'd love to have a "Battletoads" mode patched into DA 1.

Shogun 2 was a so-so meh. All the new stuff is great, but I need great battles, not stuff, and I'm not sure battles will be great. We'll see. This, however, seems like a winner already to me. Pre-ordered.

I actually prefer the old style combat. I have no objection with action style combat as long as it's not awkward like that. Not to say the old wasn't awkward but at least it was still making some sense then

Castout · 02-25-11, 02:24 AM

Umm on second thoughts I may not be buying this game. At least maybe not immediately after release.

Hearts of Iron 3 kind of won my heart in the end.

Is it just me or am I right that Dragon Age Origins gets bloody hard half way through.

DA 2 is due out soon so im trying to finish DAO, I can't kill that dragon you meet as you cross the bridge far to powerful that my whole group gets owned in about 20 seconds. lol

Yeah I switched to easy somewhere mid game or close after mid game

Aww you haven't finished DAO??!

I'll be missing out DA 2 for a while I'll be upgrading my hardware for Shogun 2. Especially the two component(GPU and PSU) which I haven't changed from the last time I built a new PC. And I'm finally convinced that i7 is not stupid LOL. Used to joke that in a 4 core 8 thread processor(i7) you'll be using 2 thread for your own application, 4 for malware running in the background and 2 for hackers to use.

I've tried Shogun 2 demo and imo it's a quality game like always from CA and it has the best graphics ever. The detail on the unit is astounding. It's bordering between RTS and RPG in battles unit model wise.

As for Mass Effect and Dragon Age, Bioware is the best RPG developer by far imo. Really quality game that they have.

How limited is the Shogun 2 demo, are there custom missions/maps to play? I might download it.

There's the campaign tutorial which limits you to three playable battles.

Then there's the single historical battle playing as Mitsunari which will guarantee your defeat. It's impossible to win.

And that's about it.

Ninjas are cool and powerful when properly employed both battlefield type and campaign one. The campaign ninjas can develop their skill and have retainer. Even in campaign I'm hooked to developing my ninja. And I think generals can develop too and you can select the skills and retainers you would like them to have.

I'll keep the demo until my Shogun 2 copy arrives.

We must play together sometime Frank! I would love to try that co-op campaign game

I've even thought a custom clan name I'd use for online battle. Can't wait to customize the banner and online general avatar. And like I said the unit model is pretty impressive when zoomed in close and personal. The fighting animations are great too. Battle AI seems to be improved too even on normal.

kiwi_2005 · 03-02-11, 05:18 AM

Co-op campaign would be cool!

ive watched a few youtube vids of Shogun 2 and it looks impressive. Will admit last total war game I played was Rome TW so am looking forward to Shogun 2. Will DL the demo this weekend and give it a try.
