| LegitHyperbole said: Nice. I'm downloading Univorn Overlord now since it went on sale. Gonna see what all the fuss is about. 7 outta 10 seems fair for DD2. I'm surprised to see Dragon Age on people's lists, I suppose I'm ignoring Stellar blades meh writing and narrative presentation too. The combat in DAVG must be exceptional if it can hold the game up with it's terrible narrative, dialogue, characters and the child like tone. |
I hope you like Unicorn Overlord. The story is VERY simple and not really deep, but the gameplay is fantastic imo. Its my personal favorite type of gameplay as far as tactical rpgs go, but yeah its a pretty niche genre.
The thing with DAVG is that I dont really think it has terrible narrative, but sure, its just not nearly as good as other entires, but that doesnt mean its terrible. Or rather than "Not as good" its just way more sanitized. Id say the previous games felt pretty adult-oriented, this one seems more teen-oriented, and much more self-contained, clearly they tried to appeal to a broader audience and lost a lot of the identity of the franchise in the process. Fans of the series like myself will notice and will not like the tone shift (obviously). Its more cartoonish for sure - but having all that said, I wouldnt say its flat out terrible compared to your average RPG videogame.
I guess what really stings is that we waited what? 10 years for another Dragon Age? So we all hoped for something diferent I guess.
