dragon age 2

[Shauna]

The internet on the whole has told me this is a bad game. The internet is never wrong, right?

[Quindiana Jones]

That's right!

Oh shut up you prudes. It's no da1 but its not super horrible Omg. The combat is fun, the story is a.bit weak but hey so was FF xiii. If you play it as a mediocre game then you won't be disappointed. Plus varric is like one of the best characters ever.

What the hell kind of defence is that?! "Yeah, taking a cheese grater to the face hurts a lot, but so does bowel cancer." "If you play it as a mediocre game..." What the smurfing smurf is that? xD

[Freya]

It's.like FF 13! If you are expecting it to be great you won't like it cause your expectations won't be met. But same with da2 if you expect it to be an okay game then no expectations are crushed.

[Quindiana Jones]

That doesn't make it any less troutty!

[Freya]

It's not troutty! It's just not as good as it.could be.

i would rather hit myself in the dick with a hammer than play FF13

[Jiro]

Eh, I'll still give it a shot. I'll rent it or borrow it rather than paying for it though.

[Quindiana Jones]

Steal it.

[Jiro]

Sure. I can do that.

I thoroughly enjoy the characters, story, and MaleHawkexFenris is OMGHAWTSEXX, but otherwise, the game is a shallow, pointless, shell of what Bioware's greatness used to be.

Which begs the question, why can't once-great RPG companies like Square Enix or Bioware make actual RPG's anymore? It seems like all we get are half-hearted RPG-hybrids that feels light on actual constructive or entertaining RPG gameplay and narrative. Sigh. I really hope this current state of the gaming indsutry is a fad, or else I'll probably be sorely disappointed.

[Freya]

The answer to that is, EA

Bingo! Just look at the amazing pre-EA stages of Bioware: Baldur's Gate, DA1, Mass Effect, and the Star Wars games. (I've only played two of those, but have heard amazing things about the others) They were rich with character and options. Boo.

Dragon Age II is actually pretty good I think. But I don't think you'd like it, Jowy. If you plan on playing DA3 and don't want to miss anything, then I'd recommend you finish up act 1 and zip through the next two acts (they aren't as long if you're only doing mandatory quests). Also I think it's safe to guess that any sidquest to do with mages and templars will be relevant to events in DA3 so maybe check those out too.

[Laddy]

Boo.

Also before EA. So adorbs!
