Fuck it, I'm coming out: I actually liked DA2

[Achilles]

Yes, I'm serious, I'm not trying to troll or anything. I played the game to completion two times, once with a warrior and another with a rogue, and I found it to be a quite enjoyable (if limited in scope) game. So, here's a list of the things I enjoyed and the things where I would like some improvement in DA3:

Pros:

- I found the lack of an 'epic' storyline refreshing. DA2's story seemed more personal and I quite enjoyed Hawke's evolution from a lowly immigrant to Kirkwall's champion.

- Kirkwall was a fascinating place with an interesting backstory and various conflicting factions. Towards the end of the game I did feel as though my character was fighting for his town.

- I had no problem with the increased combat pace. If anything it helped in shortening the amount of time spent in filler combat, which was the main thing discouraging multiple playthroughs in DAO. That's a good thing for me, since I am a storyfag.

- The skill trees were better than the ones in DAO.

Cons:

- Recycled environments. Nothing more needs to be said.

- Lack of non-combat skills. It would have bothered me a lot more if the non-combat skills from DAO weren't practically useless.

All in all, DAO was the better game but DA2 is (in my opinion) nowhere near the abomination everyone seems to think it is.

 

[Raapys]

My condolences.

Nothing personal, but could we please, uh, talk about something else than (shitty) games ?

It is not like there is suddenly a shortage of other (better) games.

DA2 is so yesterday by now, even bashing it.

Did you tell your parents?

And you're honestly saying that the "good" outweighs the bad?

Damn.

It's no wonder Greece is bankrupt.

 

[pocahaunted]

In before "no wonder Greece is bankrupt".

I actually liked DA2

Location: Greece

All the evidence above combined, I think it's safe to say you're a homosexual.

 

[Deakul]

Sorry, you have horrible taste in video games... hell, in everything if you actually liked it.

 

[Black]

People have shit tastes, news at 11.

 

[Darth Roxor]

no wonder Greece is corrupt

 

[Johannes]

DA2 is shit. Here's why.

1. Bad art direction.
2. Combat is simplistic.
3. Bad writing.
4. Tasteless sex stuff.

Can you give us some examples of how they did this in the game?

 

[mangsy]

lollll

 

[Reptilian Shapeshifter]

Towards the end of the game I did feel as though my character was fighting for his town.

Wow.

For me, Act 3 increased the shit factor by several orders of magnitude. It would have been a better game had they stopped after Act 2, which still isn't saying much.

 

[ghostdog]

Fuck you all, you retarded faggots ! We may be bankrupt here in Greece but we have relatively good taste in games. Nobody I know liked that piece of shit.





Alex, sorry , you had it coming.

If Dragon Age 2:

- Did not force the portrayal of homosexuality on its players

- Did not blatantly copy-pasta environments all over the place

- Featured turn-based combat

- Presented Hawke in a less totally-faggotty way

- Didn't have ENCHANTMENT but rather had crafting

- Featured some significant C&C

- Featured skills useful in roleplaying and out of combat

- Had an open world design instead of that stupid city map

- Again, had less homo's

- Either cut out the sex completely or went ahead and subcontracted to the developers of 3D Sex Villa 2 for its sex simulation scenes



















...it would STILL suck.

After suing BioWare for sexual harrassment I'm suing them again for damaging my brian.

At least the game runs smoother with Forceware 270.51.

So now when I play DA2 I can just go, "HA HA HA HAAA! Look at all the blood! Ooh! Tits! HA HA HA HAAA! Ooh, a shiney! MOAR BLOOD! HA HAAAA!!" All locked at 60fps with 4X antialiasing and all details maxed.

Affix the bow of shame.

I'm sorry, Greek Codexers.

BTW, just like with DA:O, I went ahead and lowered the difficulty in DA2 to Normal, and I'm considering Casual, because there's just no fucking point in even spending more than 20 seconds or so on each fight.

Some of the "boss" fights are rather amusing, but as everyone here already knows, they still most commonly boil down to running Hawke around in circles while your stupid party members pepper whatever it is that's stupid enough to chase you with spells and missiles.

Now, on Normal, my rogue Hawke can just bouncy-bounce around, with his SUPER MAGIC TELEPORTING, while I LARP ninja killing like in an MMO. I wish BioWare would've written in some dialogue that included the dorf or that red-headed bitch getting mad at you for doing that. I'd have laughed.

I'm not trying to troll or anything.

You sure?
