Dragon Age 2

[Scipio]

Picked up the box from Best Buy and preloaded.  I can unlock it at 2 am.  Sigh.

[Grallon]

So its out? Hmm maybe a break from Uncharted Waters Online would be welcome.  Let us know if its deserving of the 1st installment's reputation.

2 AM? Why not midnight?

Midnight Pacific probably.

Yea, I forgot that Cal didn't live in EST.

You also forgot who it was that bought DA2...

$60?  Fuck that.  I'll wait until a few patches and the price drop to $30-35.

There's also a full fledged party member available on release, but only if you preordered the game months ago.

Kinda sketchy, IMO.

[JonasSalk]

Yeah, I'm betting I can find some sort of download later for it.  What a crock.

[Slargos]

CloneDVD: Released. 

Crack: Pending. 

I think I might buy this though. My connection ain't what it used to be.

Surprisingly, it's actually reasonably priced at steam.

Download version at cdon.com: $68

Steam: €50/$69

That's gotta be a first.

Looks like the main character is emogoth though. I may have to pass on this.

I've still yet to finish all the extra bits on 1. Its a decent game, kind of cool in some ways...but the pure hack and slash gets samey after a while.
Nonetheless...DA2 does look cool....will try and hold off as long as possible- that's the way with such games these days really I guess, I waited until long after release for DA1, Mass Effect and Fallout 3 and ended up with the ultimate editions that had everything included from the start.

[Grey Fox]

Play the Demo.

[Tamas]

Is it worth pirating?

I liked DA1 until I got seriously tired of all the pointless battles.

I'm considering doing the same. I couldn't be bothered to return to DA1 for the expansion and I'm left feeling like I may have missed something. I think I'll just wait until whatever expansion for DA2 is released to get the whole game. It's about time to start lagging behind new releases anyway of these types of game anyway. A shooter or a twitch-tactics needs to be relatively fresh since the MP base thins out after a while but frankly there's no reason to pick up a RPG at once and every reason to wait for patches and mods to make the game better.

How long til Grallon bitches about the game being one dimensional and more of the same crap?

PS Grallon - Dragon Age 2 backed off the gay sex.
