It's the best RPG experience in gaming since Mass Effect 2. What more is there to talk about?

edit:

<Friend on IRC> i also just took a dogs gall bladder to sell for 5 copper, a hallmark of any good rpg.

Not really. That was a 4chan raid of all the reviews there.

It wasn't really a 4chan 'raid' don't you think the reviews would have been more retarded and far more of them?

That was just something Gaidar posted to reassure BioWhores.

Though there has been a lot of forum trolling outta there but i'm sure noone here was responisble for any of that

Apparently you don't read /v/

Most (not all) of the reviews are blatant trolling.

Suppose it depends on whats considered a raid.

The story was;

Bioware types were telling people who said it was bad to look at all the (critics) reviews on metacritic as ammo against haters, at this time there was hardly any user reviews. The ones that were there raised the same arguments as the ones now do. This Link should be the pc reviews sorted by age, its ass backwards and the first reviews are at the bottom of the page. Rather positive I'd say anyway in WNxWind's review the reviews he references are gone from the site as far as I can see, however I did read them at the time and they were not /v/ derp rage bs but very similar to my own review a little further up which hasn't been pruned.

So /v/ did not start a omg lol so random 'raid' but someone did post a link and say vote this down and everything was pretty sane.

My point, assuming the tired fever hasn't burned my mind too much and I do infact have one is it was not an organised mass hate attack for no reason. The reviews make vaild points, the scores are lower than they should be. But the Bioware pr machine is trying to take the sting out of it but calling it a 4 chan attack.

I hope that made sense, I've been roaming /v/ since I finished the game on whatever say that was bro. That and here kept me amused sadly.

And there probably were hate bandwagon reviews but it's too simple to blame all that on anon bs.

The 4chan "raid" just means that a large number of 4channers thought DA2 was shit and decided to concentrate on making their voice heard on one site rather then being drown out by the ocean of dumbfucks and paid shills everywhere. It in no way invalidates the reviews, and most of them have far better written critiques than any of the reviews giving DA2 a good score.

What game is that in the video, it looks far superior to DA2.

Don't really know, but almost anything is superior to DA2, so there's plenty of other choices for better entertainment.

Not that I have much experience of 4chan ways, but wouldn't an actual raid have much larger numbers than the sad 500 total reviews, with possible cross-reviewing across all platforms?

Ah, yes, Maria Caliban. I actually think she is some alt of Gaider, or his wife/ho. Check any of her posts out, you will hear and feel the slurping from miles away.
