#508372 Dragon Age II News

Posted by vilkacis on 15 February 2011 - 12:28 PM in Dragon Age Series

You mean, women who won't ever date a knowingly bisexual guy are Evil?

I was thinking more along the lines of "narrow-minded", but eh, close enough, I guess.


And wishing that a bisexual love interest was straight is Bad?

Here, I was thinking mostly "confusing". Speaking of which, I notice you haven't bothered to explain why a bisexual character "isn't so good", but that's okay; I wasn't really expecting a rational explanation anyway.


bigotry

Pot, kettle, overused idiom.

Last thing I heard, Bioware asked giZm to stop putting up demo vids, but it seems he uploaded parts four and five anyway.

Also stop reading the short stories thread after the stories themselves, the rest is crap.

I'd probably just recommend against reading the thread at all. <_<


Does anyone else find it kinda cheesy they are reusing so many previous npcs?

Having returning npcs is a good thing... if it makes sense. So far, all the returning characters have prompted a reaction along the lines of "what :|" from me, so.


That's  strange: given that Jaheira's author, Luke K., was writing Aveline, I was sure she'd be a romance-option-Jaheira-number-two. I guess they didn't want to do the "romance with the former husband barely cool in the grave" thing again.

Given the time span, this could potentially be handled much better than it was in BG2.

Fenris is probably a male-male interest, which isn't so good, either.

i'm sure you have a perfectly reasonable explanation for that statement


I hope they have features like ME2 when you've gone Renegade your eyes turn red and you have those synthetics showing up! Or I miss that somewhere?

There is no morality meter in DA2. That's like the only good thing they've told us about this game.

Hey, they can still claim someone hacked them.

Hey, there's a new DLC item!

I'm just going to let this one speak for itself.

We chose to set the game [demo] at the default, or normal, difficulty. This prevents people from accidentally setting the difficulty too easy or too hard. We do not want to give people the wrong impression about combat by having them accidentally setting it to nightmare and then choosing not to buy as the demo was too hard to play.

We trust that our fans are smart enough to know that if the demo seems good but a tad easy, they can always choose to increase the difficulty in the real game.

OUR CUSTOMERS ARE ALL RETARDS. ALL! RETARDS!


edit: he just closed the thread.

B^U

...as horrible as it feels to admit, I can't find anything wrong with the last two.

I don't get the first one, though. Unless the joke is that you will never again be able to select an answer that detailed because picking either "hurf", "durf" or "derp" on the dialogue wheel is THE NEW SHIT.

Ahahahahahahaha. Im in ur demo, haxing ur files!










Oh, and did I mention it's full of spoilers?

Because it is.

Full of spoiles.

I doubt he made that decision - people higher up in the chain of command decided that the demo shouldn't feature a difficulty slider, and he had to invent a mildly credible explanation for the limitation.

I'm not blaming him for the decision. I'm not blaming Bioware for it, either.

I am blaming him for being a prick, not just in this thread, but basically every time I see him post. Also, blaming Bioware for allowing him to continue.

This is at least the second time people working for them have answered "why isn't there an option to ____" questions with "because y'all are too dumb to live" and it looks fucking bad.

Honestly, I'd welcome voice acting if they A, retained the full text choices, and B, allowed a choice of actor, as per the combat grunts in Origins/BG/etc (preferably including an "off" option). Voicing in itself is would not be a bad thing, if it weren't for the fact that they somehow translate that into having to dumb down the dialogue system. That absolutely kills the "R" aspect of "RPG".

Anyway, I'm off.



#503664 Dragon Age II News

The spoken dialogue alone isn't the main offender here.

The dialogue wheel with the "I want a bigger reward" option that actually means "let's fuck right here, right now, right in front of my subordinates" is the big problem.

As opposed to actually picking the dialogue you want your character to say and having npcs reacting to that exact line.

But I guess actuall roleplaying is too difficult for modern gamers because lol xbox haloz press button for awesome sparta general roflskates fuck I'm glad I'm going on vacation tomorrow and will have a good excuse to ignore the corporate bullshit machine.

... at the moment the game feels a tad awkward, on the 360 build at least. The faster tempo and slightly over-the-top animations feel very hack and slash, but naturally your attacks don't feel as immediate as what you'd expect from, say, God of War.

So it will look and play like God of War, but without the tight control that makes good action games, well, good. Gotcha.

(Good thing I had no expectations for this game or anything!)

And this, right here, is why no one takes "game journalism" seriously.

I seem to recall something about Morrigan's leather pants, but I'm not going to quote that here...

Wait - Morrigan wore pants? :blink:


I don't know why everyone's complaining about her boobs, though, especially the ladies. I don't find the size ridiculous or impossible at all. Why must a buxom lass automatically be silicone-enhanced? :rolleyes:

Impossible? Certainly not. Ridiculous? When it's on an acrobatic fighter (who looked nothing like that in the previous game) and they're just flapping in the breeze, and when two out of two known female NPCs look as if they make a living smuggling watermelons in their shirts - yeah, it kind of is.


I mean seriously...who says that?!

IDK but they're obv. v.classy ppl.

Basically it's a completely new character who just happens to share the same name.

And I see they're increasingly desperate to get sales before the reviews come out.

Lovely.



#499786 Dragon Age II News

Posted by vilkacis on 26 October 2010 - 11:05 AM in Dragon Age Series

Oh, look! There's a new trailer that contains nothing substantial whatsoever. (Kind of nice to finally see some in-game footage that isn't ALL BROWN, but whatever.)

And some pics and shit at IGN (yes, I know, can't spell IGNorant...).

I like how Commander Shepard dresses to blend in with the low-tech world he's visiting!

...His opinion differs from yours, so he didn't "get" it. Right.

Personally, I was starting to find the "journey" pretty unimpressive by the time the 400th identical Hurrlock, Durrlock or Derplock shuffled on screen, and when the endgame is full of the same bloody orcs you've been slaughtering since the second dungeon, it most certainly qualifies as a slog.



#501470 Dragon Age II News

Posted by vilkacis on 24 November 2010 - 06:00 PM in Dragon Age Series

Mr Gaider, often, sounds grumpy when giving these "explanations". Maybe he needs a hug.

If I wanted to be nice, I'd say something like maybe he just needs to stop posting on Bioware's official forums because I know they tend to make me grumpy.


But I don't want to be nice so I'll just say he needs to stop posting period, and also stop working for Bioware and maybe his replacement will be able to salvage Dragon Age 3.


Well considering the feedback that has been preeminent since the day Dragon Age II was announced, it'd be a hard sell to say no one else would be.

The feedback on the official boards tends to lean more towards "Bioware can do no wrong" than the rest of the internet, though.

Maybe that's why they make me grumpy.

Well, that and the fact that they're so full of stupid that it practically oozes from the corners of my monitor.

And the rampant sexism and homophobia and some other important sounding words that I don't remember.



#501526 Dragon Age II News

Posted by vilkacis on 25 November 2010 - 08:05 PM in Dragon Age Series

If Gaider's in such a hurry, he should stop mucking about on the forums and finish the damn game. Launch date is close enough as it is without one of the lead writers going hurf-a-durf on the boards.

ANYWAY. New character page up on the official site. Aveline, female sword-and-board fighter. Now, I'm going to hold off calling them on the ridiculous outfit for a supposed tank because this

I seems stupid for a tank to wear simple clothing. And for 10 years too

She would agree. So she doesn't. wink.png

suggests it's temporary.

So yeah, assuming he's not lying through his teeth like all the rest, I won't have to go on a rant on how absolutely idiotic it is for a tank to go out fighting derpspawn in an apron and pants that seem to be disintegrating already.

The sword is a different story, though.

As in "that's going to slip out of her hand the moment she starts to sweat or gets blood on it, and take off most of her fingers in the process".

She's got nice tits, though!

I know that because of the way her shirt seems to struggle with them.

The same shirt she apparently goes into combat wearing.

With nothing over it.

Someone on the Bioboards asks why friendly fire can't be a toggle. And why not? Well, you see:

Because it has a profound effect on the difficulty. Hence it being attached to the difficulty.

Or that, anyhow, is what I assume. Attaching things to toggles is great, but if someone flips that on and doesn't know that it will suddenly make their "Easy" game not quite so Easy anymore... well, that wouldn't be good.


So basically, he just called his entire player base retards.

Thanks, Gaider! It's good to know you have such a high opinion of me!


Dragon Age 2: Darker, Grittier, Sexier...now with training wheels! Weeee!

HOLY SHIT WE HAVE GAMEPLAY

On the one hand, it's nice to see the "pause and issue commands" system in action... but on the other hand, if you can blindly mash buttons until all the bad peoples fall down and be done in half the time - why even bother?

And you will be able to blindly mash buttons.

Because apparently Origins was too difficult and made the target audience cry even on easy mode.

Despite the fact that the xbox version was dumbed down for the ~*~console tards~*~ already.


In other news, Zevran 1.2 has a name now and I know my first Hawke will be an aryan superman who specializes in lightning magic and will be very disappointed if I don't get to kill this bastard on sight, which is what I should have done with Zevran in the first place.

But hey, even if they don't let me do that, we're sure to run into his old master, Loki, along the way.

The game feels exactly the same, but at the same time feels completely different!

Well I'm glad I'll be playing A COOL BADASS WARRIOR WITH SPIKY ARMOUR CHOPPING HURLOCKS IN HALF BY THE MILLIONS!

SH: All previews so far say you start out overpowered but lose the endgame abilities pretty soon. So no, that fight is not supposed to be even remotely difficult.
