| Mummelmann said: I have been pessimistic about this title since it was announced, thinking that Bioware would do like they did with Mass Effect 2 and what other RPG developers seem to be doing lately; watering down and replacing depth and value with action and effects. Lo and behold, I was right. This would make me really cross if it weren't for two things; one being The Witcher 2 on the horizon and the other being the fact that I saw it from a mile off. Bioware are losing their shit and turning into another Activision/EA action frenzy super duper pimpled teenager mashfest. Oh, well, enjoy! |
HOw is this game dumbed down? Have you played it? I do agree that mass effect 2 featured zero micromanagement which was a huge letdown for me, I really wanted them to expand the loot system and how much you can really customize a character, maybe theyll change their minds for 3 due to how poorly (imo) mass effect 2 still sold despite their obvious casual approach. Dragon age 2 doesnt seem to be going down this path, they are refining the conversation system and polishing the combat system which seems miles ahead of dragon age origins, and I platinumed that game because of how much I enjoyed it. The only thing that held it back was the robotic animations during conversation and during combat, where characters had to be in the perfect position to attack and would shuffle for what seemed an eternity (on the hardest difficulty this can be the difference between winning and losing, no joke). From everything ive seen theyve simply upgraded presentation, while refining, not removing, the micromanagement aspects that made dragon age origins a hardcore gamers game. GIve it a chance. Try it on pc as well, that seems to be what youre looking for, a challenge. You havent even played it yet.
