[ALL] Dragon Age 2 USE SPOILER TAGS

Do they have the demo out for Mac?

so much for that i have the best console theory huh.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Alright, I never played DA:O, but I think I may have to now.

The demo is a really great one. It actually has a story, as you play three separate "scenes" that all weave together.

The combat was really responsive and fun. I played as a mage and there were some really cool beginning spells.

You get to do a bunch of conversations and take them whichever way you choose. I chose the "light" way, or whatever it's called, as I felt I could get the most information that way.

No character customization or loadouts, but I leveled up a few times and you can create tactics, of which there seem to be a million options.

But someone famous on TV said it was the best....?







I'm pumped to try this game! Looking forward to both demos tonight. I didn't like KZ3, may not even go pick it up if it these demos are fun enough to last till the full games come out.

Origins is excellent. i would play it before DA2 though only because if you play DA2 first, it might spoil you on origins since they made everything better in this game

I most definitely will. I don't anticipate playing either for a while anyways. Still need to beat both AC2 and Brotherhood first.

Just know that there's a commitment involved with Dragon Age if you decide to play it.

I'm not going to go through the whole "It's at least a 100 Hours to Play it) spiel because you can easily switch the difficulty on it to Easy and breeze through the main story within 3 days straight.

However, on Normal, with almost all the sidequests done as well (on top of crafting and backtracking to buy items, reloading saves, etc.), it took me 100+ hours to beat it...

And that's without getting all the Trophies for it.

Yeah I am 30+ hours in and just getting to Orzammer

I always play games on the hardest available setting and I don't give a shit about Achievements.

I'm well aware of DA:O's time commitment, which is why I won't start until after I graduate. I'm going to get the GOTY edition with all of the DLC as well.

 

[Maynard]

i dont think the GOTY w all DLC is available on 360. i think thats just ps3

i might be wrong on that.

[Maynard]

thats a collectors item right there.

 

[BrntO4Life]

It's a ridiculous deal. By the time I'm ready to play it, it will probably be even cheaper.

 

[Maynard]

i might get that too. its a great deal.

btw, the pc demo is out for you mac users

 

:smug:

 

[jms493]

any impressions?

 

[BrntO4Life]

[IamMedellin]

[edit: jesus christ it's 2gbs for the demo, this better be the greatest demo of all time]

According to Brnt, it's 3 level areas, basic character customization and when you finish it, you get some DLC for when the game officially drops.

Also, if a million people collectively DL the demo (it'll probably end up like BC2: Vietnam did and they'll release it anyway), you'll get even more DLC for the game.

Unfortunately, like the PS3 Mass Effect 2 demo, your character progress doesn't transfer to your character in the full version of the game.
