Dragon Age II German demo is out
...and it's utter crap. DA2 is nothing like DaO. It's a consolized game for the console kiddies. It has lost it's many dialog options in favor of omgogmopewpewpew THATS A DRAGON KEEL IT WITH FIREBALLS pew i has sword. The characters seem to have shaked hands with some japanese cosplayers for too long and now they have whatever disease the asians got.

Look at this dalish elf. LOOK AT HIM.
What's worse is that the game has totally lost it's charm by replacing all those nice dialog options with... well this:

It worked in ME2, because ME2 was a pew pew SF shooter IN SPACE. With cover based shooting. I guess we should be thankful for not getting this on archers in DA2. Thinking about it makes me puke.
And if that weren't enough...

It's the new generation of gaming udders. Females are required by law to keep their breasts outside armor for emergency breastfeeding. It makes so much sense it makes my head explode.
But what's really wrong with this game is that it's just another example of how deeply a game can get destroyed when it's made ON THE PC with the intention of making it easy to play on A CONSOLE. The environments remind of God of War, every single battle happening either in a narrow corridor or in a circular "arena" with a nice background behind it. The characters now "strike poses" like the sellouts they are, they jump over thrown swords because they are made out of pure awesome and the only thing missing seems to be Force Push. They have made Dragon Age a game about combat. The combat is better. It's a lot more fluid than it used to be in DAO. And that would be fine if they haven't changed EVERYTHING ELSE AS WELL. It's like turning KOTOR 1 or 2 into SW Force Unleashed and saying the game has evolved. No, you can crush stormtroopers and make them die in funny ways, but the game as a whole is a mess made for people that like to gasp whenever they see shiny graphics. I liked DAO for the story. I never liked it's combat, but hell, I've put up with it simply because it felt great. Now the characters are all flourishing their dual swords like they're doing a performance in front of an audience, have hair like EMO is the new thing in medieval times and seem to not hear anything over the sound of how awesome they are.
I'm guessing we have Electronic Arts to thank for this.
