I downloaded the CGI trailers.  I looked at video comparisons on youtube (you wouldn't believe the fuss made about which version looked better--PC/360/PS3).  I read the reviews.

I bought Dragon Age origins for the 360 yesterday.  You would not believe the look of disgust that was on my face when I saw this game running on my HDTV!  Holy shit, is this game ugly!!  I'm sure it's a great game and I intend to really get into it today but, at this point, I think any version of this game is going to look like ass.

Naw, it had to be severely dumbed down graphically to fit on a single DVD for 360 - The PC version is almost 20 GB big IIRC, where as a single DVD9 gives just over a third that capacity...

and yet the PC version still looks pathetic.

I thought it looked pretty good, not one of the best but certainly not pathetic.

 

Doesn't look better than a Source or UE3 game to me. For a game that came out not even a year ago, from a developer with a rather big budget, it's certainly disappointing.

Especially the horrible textures and bad looking characters.

Considering they built the engine solely for this game
