DAO was a failed attempt at BG3. DA2 was its own thing. If you expected them both to be BG3 DA2 will obviously disappoint more. But if you just want a fun game to play DA2 is a drunk conga line and DAO is accounting software.

DA2 objectively has no good qualities. Eat shit and die, retard.

I really don't know what everyone was expecting.

1. BioWare

2. 2024

3. Been ten years since the last DA and that was Inquisition.

4. Andromeda and Anthem.

Did no one mention that even David Gaidar passive aggressively took shots at the game?

I 10000% expected this to be the most horrible shit you've ever seen in a video game and so did most other people. As for people who are really deep into BioWare romances, they probably would've been satisfied with a visual novel.

I have never seen a group of individuals so desperate for connection that they will latch on blindly to these half-baked digital constructs, and that's coming from me.

BioWare is dead. It was good while it lasted. I'll pour one out for the homies, but it's joever.

they probably would've been satisfied with a visual novel

Please dont say something like that ever again, Dragon Age is a containment franchise, dont give them ideas. I dont want this fanbase being part of and shitting all over my eroges, thank you very much. We already have the otometards and fujoshits trying to kill the genre, we dont need more refugees.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Unironically I think DAV will be a success. And this will be very bad for the RPG genre and gaming in general.

Inquisition is the best selling game in the franchise and won goty 2014. Yet it didn't affect anything at large.

DA2's combat is miles above DAO. The companions are slightly better. The story and story structure are much more interesting and original. The advertising cringe (awesome button) is more bearable (THIS IS THE NEW SHIT).

The only thing that makes me retarded is that I'm wasting my time replying to someone who is this much of a loser :

Except the fact that almost all RPGs are open-world now, although it did not start the trend.

The only question is, will we get a let's play of however much one man can stand before he gets a refund to buy KFC with the money?

FUCKING GIGGLESQUEE

The game looked like shit, played like shit, the story and lore changes were shit, the encounter design was shit, the companions were as bad and stereotypical as ever in a modern BioWare Game, IT WASN'T EVEN FUCKING FINISHED BECAUSE THEY KEPT REUSING THE SAME FUCKING MAPS.

I don't know what sorta brain damage you have but I hope you get help.

Skyrim did that, so much so that even Bioware bend over and went Open World despite having zero experience.

They were reusing the same maps because... you revisited the same locations. Part of the game structure was having you revisit areas you've been to before as time progressed and new events popped up. As I already said, the game did suffer from a short development window so they didn't have as many locations as they would have if they had gotten the time to do it properly. So not only are you too stupid to understand why the locations are reused (storywise), you are just repeating a development logistics argument I already made.

And I'm done arguing with the mentally disabled, it's demeaning and I have better things to do, you can shout into the void from now on.

Firefly > Buffy imho. A real travesty that the series got canceled before it could develop from the more episodic nature of the season we did get, esp. considering how good the main cast synergy was.

Firefly is just a shitty Cowboy Bebop/Blake's 7 rip-off. It was canceled because it was cringe and boring.

Firefly is cringey on rewatch: all characters have same snark remarks that substitute for character, which Marvel made caricature of later.
Buffy is the same, proto-girlboss-ya-slay-queen attitude that is unwatchable.
Both series were first manifestations of rot that will became modern entertainment.

Buffy just keeps getting better through every rewatch because of the great character writing. They have real depth and believable motivations. It's only during the last two seasons that it gets numbing. Whatever you may think at first, Buffy is not just a show for dumb teens.

Sneak Peak. (Voiced protagonist confirmed)

The place looks bland and uninteresting as fuck. The neon-light looking "magic" shit everywhere just makes it worse.

They have bad taste.

I appreciate what was good in Buffy/Firefly. But I have reasons to dislike them.

They had likable and believable characters - who also were unique snowflakes without any development.
The dialogues were filled with funny and snarky onliners - but they were lacking in variety and there were nothing apart from them.
The plot has intrigue - but its development was bland.

Movie Buffy was best Buffy.

Spoiler

Movie was also ok. And that's why Whedon dislike it.

 

[-M-]

Previous darkspawn had horror vibe. This one is more cartoonish and reminds me on LeChuck ... But still I like the world of DA and the gameplay so I don't mind this deviation in art direction, probably budget related.

Well he played the game, which is full of the same locations.

Sneak Peak. (Voiced protagonist confirmed)

Damage control in full force. Redditors and retardera tranniers are already doing a 180º and defending the game now.

Retardera is understandable but the only reason the comments on the DA leddit are positive is because the mods announced they'll filter any negative comments and ban any negative posters. Professionally doing it for free.

I can't fathom how anyone who liked the first game could unironically like this definition of slop. Fortniteverwatch of Legends trailer and the city described as a crumbling Constantinople in Origins is now a cyberpunk city from Star Wars complete with fucking spaceships.

 

[Fedora Master]

They were reusing the same maps because... you revisited the same locations.

https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Locations_(Dragon_Age_II)

With the exceptions of the main locations, the base game uses identical layout maps for several locations with minor changes such as different collectibles being spread differently or sections of the map being inaccessible.

It's okay, you probably don't remember much of the game, assuming you even played it.

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting (and I don't even like DAO).

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

I would say that the narrative was tighter in DA2 even if some thing were retarded. DAO's plotline feels too much like an ASOIAF fanfic imo. But gameplay was so fucking tiring, that's for sure.

I agree that DAO was disappointing, but it was at least an okay game.
It's main problem wasn't that it was accounting software, but that it was restrictive accounting software lacking obvious features.
DAO was good for what it was, DA2 was fucking big publisher cancer and further proof that accepting money from EA or Activation is like accepting money from the Devil.

It's actually hilarious. The reason that marketing is failing across the board is that it's mostly no-talent millennial/zoomer pity hires, and they stick entirely to their curated safe spaces to see if their marketing is working.

Well of course when you censor all dissent, it's gonna look positive. And then they're surprised when their product launches and makes no money. Then they assume it's an organized attack by the "chuds" or targeted harassment or whatever.

Having a good premise is the game equivalent of getting credit for writing your name on a test.

Any time a company brings out anyone called a "super fan" it's 110% guaranteed to be a shill.
