Wow... Dumbing down mass effect 1 was good, because it was overcomplicated when you look at the limited ways you can play as a gunman.

But this is ridiculous, DA had good combat, doesn't justify this shift. Smile

Edit: I just read a bit about DA2, they dumbed it down heavily, no isometric view = so bad... The video and knowing that there won't be top down view killed the game for me... Sad

If it didn't have dragon age in the title, I'd have thought it was an older sequel of Dynasty Warriors.
There isn't a derp icon derp enough for this.

Well the first one was too complex for console users. It's only logical that they try to make this more accessible to maximise sales due to the high piracy rate on the pc.

Haha... Such a fucking joke.

And do people still believe they're gonna use a different combat for PC? The fact that we haven't seen any PC game play isn't really reassuring.

Heh, don't worry, this is not how the combat will be like. This is just the opening sequence and later cuts to two people arguing about how it really happened. One believes that Hawke was some sort of a superhero, the other is sceptic and tells the real story. That's how the actual game starts Wink

I'm all for giving games a chance and I can enjoy buttonmashers like Darkside when it's properly done. Still though, all I can say after seeing that is "WTF!?". What part of that trailer was "Dragon Age"? I thought it was ll about "going oldskool and going back to da rootz" when DA was announced. What happened to that mentailty? I would like to play that game in teh trailer, only if it was a derivation of the DA universe. Was that really DA2? The sequel to DA? The isometric topdown RPG with a great background story and oldskool combat?
Well fuck this shit then. At this rate ME3 will be a shooter and DA3 will be a shooter with two RPG stats.

Dammit, releasing this trailer was as crappy a PR move as that Marilyn Manson trailer then Laughing

Who or what are they selling out? They are simply going where the money is. I'd do the same.

I can't think of a more truly apt definition of what Biowere* has done, and has been doing for a while now.

How is their integrity compromised? Just because they don't make games I or you like anymore, does not mean they're selling out. Bioware is hardly the dev studio it was ten yers ago, people go and people come you know.
It's semantics though, I'm bored so I aggravate Very Happy.

Combat is more active but it's down to preference if that's better, hopefully (Yeah I know how it'll end up but still there's hope, for something.) nothing else of what was available in terms of RPG elements suffered from this...

My 2nd gametrailers account was banned for commenting on the derpness of this game.

So that's two GT accounts in 1 week.

God what the fuck? This hack n slash bullshit pisses me off.

I enjoyed jade empire for what it was, but, what the fuck man.

As I said: that's not how the combat will really look like. It's just a legend told at the beggining of the game by someone.
ALL the stats, skills and talents from the previous game will be present. Tactics (skill) will be even more complex.
More details will be revealed later. The only thing confirmed to be missing is the isometric view or "tactics camera" or whatever..



And seriously guys, did Bioware ever fuck up a story about a lone hero? It may not be "great" writing, but it's one od the best in the industry.
Unlike the mind-numblingly stupid dialogues and plot of Fallout (3):Idiot Edition ( why...WHYYYYY...the shame, the outrage...)

They may tweak a few things in game mechanics but it will still be a Bioware game.

Oh that thing, the thing that allowed for tactical management is the only one thing to be confirmed left out. Yes thats not a big deal in the grand scheme of things when you just have 3 "iWin" buttons now, tactics is for dorks anyway Laughing
You sir are an obvious troll and I'm watching you.

You probably did not read or possibly understand what I wrote, so I'll recap: There be Tactics (and Micromanagement in Dragon Age 2. Good thing, yes?

Besides, I never had any problems in assigning commands to my team on Nightmare ( PC version) even when not using the tactics view. There's, y'know, an active pause and we trolls know how to use it.

It was better during exploration though and I, personally, I'll miss having it. But it will not make DA 2 a worse game than it's predecessor.

Also, there will probably be a camera-hack mod to bring it back.
