derp sells no one wants to make good games anymore they just want to make games for the masses with facebook intergration
 
im sorry what?!

Dragonage is a terrible terrible game and I loathed every minute I played it for. Recent CODs (MW2/BO) aren't brilliant games by any stretch but I at least enjoy them.
 
Well that explains why my first reactions to Dragon Age II were it looks ****.

Mass Effect is your mainstream shooter style RPG. Dragon Age was supposed to be a more traditional take on RPG not the action adventure **** it seems to have turned into.

Only the demo will tell...

Whats slightly worrying is that he tars Fallout with the same brush as Assassins Creed and CoD as if they're all the same thing... Creed isn't an RPG, its a linear game with set character development, not the same thing. And CoD...? Fallout you play actual ROLE, even if the latest incarnation seems to have reduced your options for specialisation even further.
 
It's all about revenue stream now.

I'm happy Indie teams are still kicking out games that beat these stupid ******* games by a mile.
 
Yeah, the AAA mainstream market is bluring into a sea of brown clones and has been for the last few years.

+1 to the Indie guys trying new things, even if they aren't as polished as the mainstream games.
 
Stop tempting me to cancel my Dragon Age Origins 2 pre order :x

Meh, thats it. I read the article and I'm deffo cancelling it.

But nooooeeeessss! I wants my signature edition, damn you evil marketing for a collectors editions whore like me :(

I agree tbh, it's nice to see Bioware adding some variation to their games. In the end under the skin all their games have been pretty similar in terms of mechanics. It's nice to see them diversifying, now we have Mass Effect which is more FPS/RPG, Dragon Age which is more adult, with visceral combat, The Old Republic which is an MMO (Although this does annoy me!)
 
My problem is that Bioware are morphing the first tactical Baulders Gate style RPG to come along in AGGGGGGGGGGGES into some button mashing action adventure game with RPG elements of which there are ten a penny.

I'll probably end up getting DA2 and I'll probably like it, but I don't anticipate it being the same style/genre of game as the first one.

I won't be cancelling but then I didn't pre-order :p

Every little bit of extra news I hear about this game makes me want it less and less, especially the most recent three class thing.

It's still Bioware so I guess they'll produce a good game but all the press releases have done is cast nothing but doubt on this instalment.
