I do not know how you take "better action" to mean worse action, somehow, but I do not care how you do it. It's not what I was talking about. Your concerns with specific elements of gameplay are immaterial to the conversation you interjected in.

The same way current RPGs have "better action" than the RPGs from 2000, that is extrenmely dumbed down and boring.

You were talking about ME2 and how it was streamlined its core. THen I said that that was not its core, and what it did only ruined it, then you said you were not going to discuss the merits of ME2 and what it did, when you in fact started to do just that. So in fact you changed the topic I interjected in, not me.

...Mummelman's statement:

If I want to play action games and shooters I'll go play some Ninja Gaiden and CoD.

You can see that he is worried that Dragon Age 2 will play like an action game, ala Ninja Gaiden.

My reply:

I don't think you have to worry about it. The evolution of Mass Effect 2 was a culling of unnecessary elements and a tightening of core mechanics, since it already played like a shooter - just a very clunky one.

Dragon Age to the best of my knowledge doesn't play like an action game. If they do anything they'll probably just streamline the command input system so it's faster-paced.

You can see that I am referring to how it will probably not play like Ninja Gaiden, since it has no Ninja Gaiden-ish elements, in contrast to how Mass Effect already had shooter elements.

Vlad. I am not taling about anything except for whether or not Dragon Age 2 will play like an action game. Anything else introduced into this conversation comes from you, not me.

Do me the favor of dropping it.

I don't know whether he was using a hyperbole when he said CoD and Ninja Gaiden, but I would venture to bet that he did. His concern was making the game more action oriented than DA1, not just improving the system already in place. Then you went on to discuss the merits of ME2, and then deny any such discussion.

Unless you were only answering his exaggeration, and not his main point, in which case I don't know why you would do that and I will just drop it then.
