Dragon Age!

[Milk Bubble]

Dragon Rage is one of the worst possible attacks in Pokémon. I mean seriously, a flat 40HP? LAME and a half.

EDIT: Ohhhh, Dragon AGE.

I actually played the demo of DA2. While it was very pretty, there was something about it that I just wasn't feeling. It may have been the fact that, at least to me, the combat felt...WoWish. I don't know. I really enjoyed the first one. I might have to give the game a real try instead of just the demo. I'd be willing to bet that once the characters are developed, I won't care as much about the combat.

It's not really RPG style combat at all. It's very hack and slash and fast-paced, which people are finding very strange. When Bioware was creating the Dragon Age series, they basically promised it was going to be the "spiritual predecessor to Baldur's Gate". Which was a decent promise for Origins, but then it's like they completely threw that whole idea out the window and decided to make it appeal to people who love fast paced combat games, and not your typical RPG fan. And while that's not a good reason to hate the game, why did they keep saying beforehand that those were there intentions? It's like they were trying to attract people who love RPGs with all these promises of great old school RPG features, but then you play the actual game, and it's not a RPG in the slightest. Of course that's going to piss some people off. You have very little character customization/story, and all of the responses you can make to people are basically like "Yes, Very Much Yes, Extremely Yes" and you never have any idea if it's really going to affect what you do in the game at all. Basically, if you play Dragon Age 2 expecting to sit down and have an awesome RPG experience, you're going to be completely disappointed. But if you play it because you don't really care how it plays in terms of genre/game style, you probably might enjoy it. I didn't enjoy it, but that's just my personal opinion.
