Community Quick thoughts on the Dragon Age 2 demo

Welcome to Gouki.com.

I hated Dragon Age, so I couldn't care less. Other Jimmys though are going to be pissed if they fucked up DA2. Nice little Blog.

Hey, welcome to the site. I never played the first Dragon Age, so I don't really know how much they could've screwed up, but thanks for posting.

Played the first one, didn't like it. Played the demo of the second one and enjoyed it more. Go figure.

So you say it was dumbed down, not good. I was really looking forward to this, but I guess trying to make it more mainstream shouldn't be a surprise.

Akskiller, I think the change is for that reason exactly. Those who didnt like the first one I'm sure will love this one. Im sure it was done to bring in a new crowd. Like I said, though, I just hope...HOPE that they stay true to their claim to keep the pc version and console version split in terms of gameplay; one catering to the action/adventure fans and the other to the RPG/strategy fans. What people didnt like was the whole idea of hitting space bar to pause, then queue up your skills/spells, etc. For me, though, that takes me back to Baldurs gate and Neverwinter Nights and I loved it but I understand that people want their games, or game-experiance rather, to be delivered quicker. Look at Final Fantasy 13, the whole combat system was based on speed. It didnt matter what you did in the fight or how you sucked or how you beasted. All that mattered is that you finish the fight by the time they specified. Which one of our beloved fav games is next on the chopping block?

It's still playable, but I think the first had a better set up. I guess I'll just have to get used to this way though, since it is what most games are starting to look like.

That said playing the demo as a mage was fun, but with the controll set up like this I wonder how you will work in new spells.
I still need to play as the rogue and the warrior to see how they feel, but it feels more like a hack and slash type game. Anyone remember Baulder's Gate?

Good call Jason.

Ok I played through as the Warrior and those extra powers that you can earn were pretty decent, the controls felt better for the warrior.

As far as the Rogue goes, holy crap. Fast and sweet, I think that covers it.

After 3 play throughs I have to admit the controls get familiar fast, I guess I can see why the changed it. The demo does have a nice chunk of story and has convinced me it's worth a pre-order.
