Dragon Age II was great and im tired of you fags saying otherwise.
>>
It's only great because you're a Zoomer and lack context. Yes, compared to Inquisition and Veilguard, Dragon Age 2 was great. But if you'd played it when it came out and the only other Dragon Age game you had to compare it to was Origins, it was just a steaming pile of shit. A massive step backwards for the series in virtually every single possible way.

You loving Dragon Age 2 now is just the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. You think it's all the series is capable of achieving because for the past 15 years it hasn't been able to be that good since.

i was born in 1994 im a millennial. I played it when it came out on 360

It's good but it takes awhile to get going. The later parts of the game and the DLCs are the best part about it.

I've been playing through the DA games the past couple of years for the first time and despite DA2 being a pretty big step down from the masterpiece of Origins I still enjoyed it for the most part. I could see why people probably didn't like it at the time since the map/mission setup is pretty restrictive but after a decade+ of FUCKHUGE open worlds it was honestly refreshing. Inquisition I couldn't even finish it was so fucking grindy and I'm not even going to waste my time with Veilguard.

>great
no
overhated, maybe even good, but it had legitimate flaws too and was a sign of things to come with the EA acquisition.
>>
>>719285836
Not OP, but while dragon age II has a lot of problems, a lot of those issues were mainly because the EA acquisition, and they just wanted to push it out of the door when it really needed another 6 months to a year to bake.
I liked that you're not the chosen one, you're just some asshole trying to make your way in a city built on a hell-mouth that's constantly trying to eat itself alive. I like that it takes place over years, and the chapters are just big pivotal moments in the city.
I like that your companions don't just sit around in camp when they're not in your party, and you can find them just hanging out around the city.
>>
>>719285049
It has the best party banter of any DA but thats pretty much it
>>
>>719288550
the serial killer quests were genuinely pretty well done
>>
>>719285912
>played it on 360
So you think it's a good game the same way I think of Fable and Jade Empire as good games because I played them on the Xbox.

I have a genuine soft spot for it because I really like the premise and several of the characters, but that's also while acknowledging that the combat and dungeons are a painfully repetitive slog.
>>
>>719292276
i like the combat
>>
>>719285049
No western RPG from that era comes close to being as good as DAO
I played this after my Origins playthrough a few months ago and I thought that it was a steaming pile of shit, it was not fun at all compared to Origins
>>
how is inquisition
>>
>>719292370
I liked the rogue. I feel like everything else was just button mashing against damage sponges.
>>
>>719293170
Had some fun ideas and a pretty world, but the majority of side-content outside of a handful of character quests make it feel like you're playing a singleplayer MMO.
>>
>>719285836
I was going to respond but this summerizes everything perfectly.
I was able to finish DA2. I quit Inquisition after 4 hours and I'm not even going to waste digital space on Trannyguard.
>>
>>719285049
There was literally not a single good gameplay mechanic in that game.

I'm just now willing to overlook the laziness of reusing the same dungeons over and over and just covering some doors with rocks or some shit.
>>
>>719285049
I liked it but it's carried hard by it's characters/world. It's a bad game but if you like the other parts enough you'll enjoy it.

I am glad to hear Bioware's dumbing down for the lowest common denominator spectacle loving audience appealed to you. Bioware is probably ecstatic to learn of your singular purchase and praise. No doubt you have enjoyed Bioware's current progression and have picked up and enjoyed every subsequent title, particularly the most recent.

>>719293927
Hmmm

>play on the hardest mode
>every fight has 30 waves of enemies that spawn on top of you and all around you
>only way to survive is to run out of the "arena" and kill each wave separately before sending a single character to trigger the next group
>this is the whole game

I really like 2 despite it's huge flaws, but this is the worst one. Worse than the endless loading of its 3 tiny locations.

DA2 was the stinkiest, sloppiest, greasiest, foulest, most diseased piece of dog shit to be sold to consumers since ET for the Atari.
Every aspect of the game was literally unfinished. You could walk around and see clearly placeholder models and broken textures in town. The writing was dog shit and lacked any cohesion as they clearly had an incompetent editor. They built a combat system around positioning and then made enemies spawn out of the air around you and teleport.

>>719285836
It is not better than Inquisition and Veilguard, I don't give a shit how much you hate danger hairs DA2 is the lowest low possible.
