And that is pretty desperate. Not gonna lie.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting to get DA II for awhile now and this sinks it, getting this before the thirtieth. Just need to scrounge up the money now.
And the White Knight rides in again. Seriously, why do you have to defend Bioware at every turn while insulting others?Jaded Scribe said:
I've been offline for awhile, care to tell me what's up with DA II? I loved Dragon Age and with Bioware's usual quality I wouldn't think they'd mess up such a great game, but, worse has happened.Canadish said:
As is, I just noticed that I don't have enough room on my hd for both games and I don't want to buy an external one right now, so, Mass Effect might be the only one.
The game isn't bad.Most people bashing are disappointed overzealous fanboys or people who have never played the game.Like previously stated grow up.The game is good it's just not the better than sex virtual reality you all expected.
Hmm. Trying to think of the words to sum it up...The Grim Ace said:
Honestly, it doesn't feel like a Bioware game.
It's short, unpolished, buggy, and your "choices" don't change anything. The ending is also one of the worst I've seen in a few years.
Top that with hit and miss art style, along with "streamlined" combat, and you've got a basic idea of the Dragon Age 2 package.
I'd recommend Mass Effect 2 any day of the week though. It's got its own problems, but the good FAR outweighs any issues
Thanks for the heads up!Canadish said:I wish I was kidding....

Why do you wish you were kidding tho?
Because I'm bored, and if I wasn't on The Escapist, I might be productive, and we can't be having any of that.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
If someone wants to have a reasonable conversation with give and take on both sides, I'm more than happy to provide one. But too many people are just interested in bashing BioWare and creating a scene. If you hate the game so much, don't play it and move on with your life.
I'm not insulting anyone here. The threads are incessant, and most (including this one) are insipid: "without distinctive, interesting, or stimulating qualities".
I love The Escapist, but I'm getting damn tired of every third thread on here being "OMG DA2!!!!" People need to move on.
And yes, I enjoy it, and I see where BioWare is taking the franchise, and approve of its direction. But I've never said DA2 was perfect, or that complaints against it entirely lack validity. But the constant bashing and latching onto anything BioWare says or does as signs of being desperate are ridiculous. I tend to see a lot of overreacting with no attempt to compromise, or offer the developer any validity of their choices.
BioWare is not the first to do bundles. And not all bundles are desperate bids to sell more copies of a failing product, but to drive interest in another product all together.
You ask why I defend BioWare, why do you jump into every DA2 bashing thread? To make your opinions heard. Just because my opinions differ from yours, I'm apparently a White Knight fangirl, amirite?
Thanks for the warning. I'll probably lose my Spring Break to Mass Effect 2, good trade off I'd hope.Canadish said:Hmm. Trying to think of the words to sum it up...The Grim Ace said:

If I didn?t already have ME2 I would probably get that. I?m still on the fence about DA2, will probably get it eventually but only after its droped in price.
This doesn?t really seem that desperate to me. ME3 will be announced soon. Might as promote DA2 sales and try to get people into the ME series at the same time. Although its hardly for ?the most loyal fans? since anyone who was a huge fan would probably already have ME2.
Also I feel sorry for Shep, that?s grunt he is catching in the last scene. Ouch

If I may defend my poor little thread a moment.Jaded Scribe said:
I made sure NOT to go on about my opinion of Dragon Age 2, for just this reason.
But honestly, I really cant see a way to offer a two sided argument for DA2. I saw nothing of merit in that game, when compared to its big brother, Dragon Age Origins.
Though, I do feel for you as someone who enjoyed the game. I'm sure the hate must be annoying.
Just remember, its the same with us when we go into a more DA2-positive thread.
"You have a negative opinion of the game? Your just a TROLL because you don't agree with us!"
I just miss the good ol' days, when Bioware made good games, and everyone sung their praises together..
Yes, let us reward our most loyal fans by giving out a free copy of a game that they should have had already if they were a loyal fan, from a game that they should have had already if they were a loyal fan.
How about to appreciate the long time fans, they give those who bought Dragon Age 2 their money back with an apology letter saying "We're sorry you actually played this"
