Dragon Age II

Not their fault you didn't pre-order it before the dead line.

[Trent]

I wonder why they have this pre-order deal in the first place? Company statistics?

Not their fault you didn't pre-order it before the dead line.

It wasn't even advertised well. Not my fault they lost my sale + DLC.


No other company pulls this crap, there are pre-order bonuses that run up to day of release (and many places after too), there are special editions, limited editions...but no 'pre-order 2 months before and get extra stuff'.

I just bought the signature edition. I believe 'mwuahahahahahaaaa' comes to mind. It's my other Birthday present. Well, my other other birthday present. The other is Dead Space, and none of you are old enough to know about the first. But I'll give a hint - special SEX!

That gift works every time.

All that signature stuff will come on the bioware store down the line, most likely free for those who have new editions than buying pre-owned (like with their projector 10 dollar for what they did with Mass Effect 2). This is still a day one for me, allthought I thought the Demo did a poor job on representing the depth of the gameplay.

[Darkmoon]

Yes, yes it does.

[Trent]

Going to download the demo today.

[Darkmoon]

The demo is good. A little too much stabby action doom for me, and the new conversation system is way too black and white for my tastes. I like to get the answer wrong on occasion, but it's mostly devided by the good boy option, the neutral option and the tool option. The new combat system is nice, though.

Also got the Dragon Age game on Facebook. So far, it's been so incredibly dull...kill enemies, fight enemies, then more enemies for you. With occasional breaks for levelling up. But you get gold, so I assume there is more to it when it's outta beta.

Wow, the graphics are amazing! Check out the blood effects!

I like the new interface, it is great. I agree with Darkmoon, I do not like the three options restriction nor the fact that the character speaks his options (which by the way when the character speaks, it differs from the actual option text, which is extremely silly!).

[The Dude]

Preloaded the game via steam, annoyed as hell I have to wait till the 11th for it to come out when I have the week off and return to work on the 12th!!!

[nemesiswontdie]

Just activated all my codes and my game is installing now. I like the holographic cover the Signature Edition comes with.

[Trent]

Great, keep us updated!

[Darkmoon]

I'm quite amused. I thought playing Dragon Age Legends, the facebook game, would be a simple diversion. However, not only am I getting extra items in Legends for playing Mass Effect 2 (N7 Leather Armour? WHOO!) I'm getting items in Dragon Age 2 for playing. Nothing super special, but it's enough to please me.

Plus, Legends is pretty good as Facebook games go.

[Trent]

What kind of items did you get for DAII playing Legends?

Edit: I just read a review on the game. The reviewer gave the game 4/6, he said that the game was much more action oriented than Origins. A lot of stuff happening at once - leading easily to chaos -, too much fighting and less story depth. Fighting sequences was the exact thing that I did not like about Origins, I loved the first game for its rich story telling. I hope that I will not be disastrously disappointed with DAII...
