Dragon Age 2 has a metacritic score of 84 and a game rankings score of 83 (I looked at 360 scores).
IF this was school, this is a "B" student, if this were a job performance evaluation, this employee gets their yearly bonus...and yet you would think by the comments here, that this game is in the running for worst game of the year.
HAHA, reading comments like these make me glad I don't live in the same gaming world as some of you folks do! No offense, but I have no need for an "elitist" or "hardcore" attitude. I'll buy and play Dragon Age II and it will succeed or fail in my mind based upon my experience with it, not because some dude thought it was "dumbed down for the casual audience".

You know, some people actually read the text rather than looking at the final score... it's a lot more informative.

And what makes you think I didn't? Just because I came away with a different conclusion then you?
I've read multiple reviews, including IGN (85) and this Gamespot (80), and NEITHER the score nor the text is representative of a BAD game. Do you refute that?

I think it has a lot to do with expectation.
To give you an example, a basketball player with a 20 ppg average would be considered good player, however if that person was Michael Jordan, people would be disappointed even though he still is a 'good player'.
Company like Bioware, Blizzard and Rockstar have reputations to uphold thanks to their past success. Like it or not, people just expect better.
