DA2 was mindless, but at least it wasn't as unbalanced and frustrating as DA:O.
They're both great, of course.
Also, after all that A for Awesome stuff, I can't help but notice there wasn't a single QTE in DA2.

After that one insane dude declared Casablanca boring you've got to expect everything in here.

Truth.
Deus Ex 2 is underrated.

It's a pretty solid game. Haven't you learned by now that some people on GAF can be a little hyperbolic with their criticisms?
Proof:
I would wager that if you ran the numbers there would be far more 'against' than 'for'. But I have no real way of proving this.
I personally hate DA2 like fetid poison, and think it was a blatant cash grab and highly disrespectful to DA's audience, but to each their own.
DA2 is literally (Hitler + Stalin) x1000. The only thing worse in human history is MGS4.
Well ya, not THAT hyperbolic, I hope...
I'm convinced half of steamgaf has good tastes and the other half likes awful shit like alpha protocol ironically.
I would say stick with your instincts on this one. It looks worse than fable.
Damn, Far Cry 3 was truly baller. All I have left is the 6 co-op achievements which I'll hopefully get later this month after peer-pressuring my friends to grab the game on the Christmas sale.
I hear many conflicts. Most say the game falls apart after the first half but your opinions are usually pretty right. Enlighten me.
Good Luck

Yeah while it wasn't as good as DA1, it was definitely not as bad as most people said it was. I'd give DA1 a 9 and DA2 an 8.

It really depends what you are looking for in a game. If you want a solid RPG, with decent mechanics that harkens back (but doesn't fully capture) the magic of the original Baldur's Gate, then you'd probably prefer DA:O. If you prefer having molten lava poured into your orifices while a powerdrill slowly bores its way through your skull, then maybe DA2 is for you.

DA2 was trash and my hatred of it and what it represents has only grown over time, the hours of your life that you waste trudging through it, you don't get those back. Of course now we have actual CRPGs on the horizon so Bio/EA's decision to run/streamline a promising franchise into the ground of far less importance than it is was back then. The internet shitstorm it evoked didn't come from nothing, so take that for what you will.
Hey, recreational trepanation can be... something... something... I used to know this... uh...

I'd bet solid money that DA3 will not be anywhere near as terrible and rushed as DA2.

I'm really enjoying FC3. Its not FC2 though. The open world objectives in FC3 seem more structured to me than I remember from FC2. Its good in some ways because it makes it easier to get 100%, but it loses some of its open world feel.
Fallout 3? I agree. BGS needs to fix this.

I know, right? It's completely impossible to appreciate some things about a game and not like others. Everything's either dogshit or GOTY, because that's far easier for me to understand.

No it's Dark Souls.
I haven't played either Dragon Age game but what could Dragon Age 3 offer that Witcher 3 doesn't?
I think that one is being fixed, no?
edit: don't know but I don't care as long as both are good I'll play both.
Not as far as we know. A 'shopped Facebook post did the rounds earlier in the year which caused a bit of frenzy, but that's it.
Oh crap. That is right, I forgot. Must move that to the front of the backlog. sigh.
Why do I keep enabling this man, I'll never know.
Oh I know it alright, it's Saoirse's fault.
If this is a sin then I am going straight to hell.
Dragon age's combat is pretty different than the Witcher games especially since DA is a party based rpg with classes, I like that kind of games, a lot of rpgs have been solo-centric, like witcher, tes, deus ex and souls.

Hey now, TES has companions. Somewhere. Probably stuck on a hill you climbed a few hours ago.

You're the guy who loved The Bureau, right? I would have thought you would be a little more sympathetic towards the idea of liking a game even when the world around you does not.
Thanks for Orcs Must Die!
I'm sorry to break these news to you... but this is a hell. Dunno where you can go from here, may be to personal Jasec hell, but seeing as he's enjoying it, it might be improvement of sorts.
I kept my companion the entire game in skyrim :lol
I never let them get stuck, it was like a game of its own getting my companion to our destination without using fast travel.

The Chinese Hell of Amassing Steam Games You Never Have Time to Play.
That is hard core. The mummified remains of my first companion lie somewhere on the map between Winterhold and Markham, I have yet to find her. I kept the vampire girl though, she doesn't die.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Hey! Stop funning around, you owe me 4 cents!
*gets lost in Saoirse's gaze on that avatar*
Whatever man, it's cool.

I stopped bothering with them in the second half because my wallet was almost always full.
Amazing. I'm really looking forward to Ass Creed: Liberation, Watch_Dogs, Far Cry 4 and those two experimental games.
The second half is pretty much the same as the first half. I enjoy all the individual gameplay elements like climbing the towers, stealthing the outposts, hunting, assassinations, etc. and I was constantly mixing them up so I didn't run into any fatigue issues that people usually level as their complaint against the back half of the game.
