So uh... I beat Dragon Age 2...

No, I don't know why I was playing it either.

I will say that I don't think it's as bad as I was lead to believe. It's definitely a disappointing sequel coming off of Origins/Awakening though. Having each combat encounter magically double in length for no reason is dumb, as the combat in that game is a pretty huge step down from Origins, and is WAY overused. It's pretty obvious they ran out of time, considering the lack of environments/artificial lengthening. The story stuff is mostly interesting though, and I dig them leaning into the political unrest between Mages and Templars. It seems to all be setting up for some potentially cool payoffs in Inquisition.

There's totally a Dragon Age game still in there, but it's just buried in monotonous combat encounters, and artificial lengthening. They should just give Dragon Age 2 the motion comic + choices stuff they've done for Mass Effect so people could jump from Origins to Inquisition.

This is more than I was going to type about Dragon Age 2. Time to play something else.

Uplay's gonna bind any Uplay game you get on Uplay to your account. Doesn't mean Uplay is gonna be necessary for the titles if bought on steam. Doomsayers. stahp

This is a demo. On Steam.
I mean, it could just be laziness, but...

It wouldn't be the first time Ubisoft pulled a switcheroo at the last minute.

Nah it probably means that there is just going to be two versions... right, it doesn't say it on the store page and Oranges doesn't have it. That would be far too shady even for them.

Unless they are implementing superior Uplay features into the game and will update it to use Uplay for our pleasure, of course. In that case ima write Steam an angry ass email.

The Ubisoft twitter account was answering questions about the game so I asked if the steam version requires UPLAY.

There was no answer.

When you don't want to answer if your own game is using your own DRM service it might be time to stop.

No, then I stopped ;) But I can see that happening for sure.

To be fair, UPLAY launched with ACII and I don't think they had their policies ironed out at that point.

As far as I can tell, every game that has been released since that requires UPLAY has that displayed on the page.

You really should try one. Enslaved in particular. They do fantastic facial animations and create charismatic characters that can make a player want to care about them (except for Dante, who I actively disliked).

They are a very capable game studio. One of the better ones out there.

Well what you said has nothing to do with their capability as a games studio.

There's no such thing as superior Uplay features, so you can rest easy with that one.

Do we know what the extras will be on the EA bundle?
Click to expand...

According to previous posts in the thread and not my own investigative skills:
Dead Space 2
Bulletstorm
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising
Medal of Honor: Airborne


Was hoping for Kingdoms of Amalur. I only want Dead Space 3 so I might just watch for a giveaway, or buy the bundle and giveaway the games.
