In light of the recent 'feedback' about Dragon Age 2... I mean, it's ridiculous seeing how many people complain about it. You know what? I really enjoyed the game. It wasn't perfect, but nothing is. I liked the gameplay a lot better than DAO. The storyline may not have been as epic, but it was still good. It had some things that were better than DAO, it had some things that weren't as good. But the kind of negative feedback that it's getting is completely unjustified. I think people need to stop being so whiny about this stuff, and just enjoy it, because it IS a very good game.
Now, this thread isn't just about Dragon Age 2. I've been a big fan of Mortal Kombat for many years. And recently, a LOT of storyline details have leaked. Including the characters' endings. And the kind of crap I heard, like, people saying that they should be firing their writer, and how it completely sucks ass. As much as I hate spoilers, I couldn't help but check them out, and it wasn't that big of a deal. The endings for each character weren't spectacular, but they were good. I honestly don't know what people were expecting.
I can't say that I'm absolved of this either. I myself used to be the biggest fan of Resident Evil, and I personally feel like Resident Evil 4 completely destroyed any integrity that the storyline once had. And yes, I eagerly turned my back on the series.
Back in the late 90's, early 2000s, when story based games were becoming increasingly popular, I didn't see half as many complaints (granted forums weren't as popular back then), but even as we remember these games, I don't hear anyone complaining. And it's not like those times were perfect either. Looking back on certain sequels like Onimusha 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica etc. They made some TERRIBLE choices with certain things in those games. Yeah, we get the odd complaint here and there, but I don't see anyone saying, "That game ruined the series for me, the company sold out," or whatever. Yes, those people do exist, but they're in a vast minority. Whereas, I haven't seen so many people massively gathered to complain about a game like Dragon Age 2, or Mortal Kombat, and its storyline.
Have we all just become overly picky prima donnas who focus on everything negative, instead of embracing all the positive things about the games (specifically sequels) that are brought to us?
