Dragon Age 2 Demo - Thoughts?

Dragon Age: Origins with better combat.

 

I can't really complain, glad I pre-ordered the Signature Edition now :smileywink:

 

Glad it also picks up with events from DA:smileysurprised:.

Re: Dragon Age 2 Demo - Thoughts?

I really enjoyed it actually. I wish they'd included customisation in the demo but hey ho. I hadn't a clue what was going on cus I was playing on mute and couldn't find where to enable subtitles either but I'm gonna have a few goes on it later after uni (with sound).

 

I'm liking the combat this time around too, although it does sometimes feel a bit like I'm button mashing at times. Additionally, it's nice to see the mage wearing something other than damn awful robes! :smileytongue:

It's very cartoony compared to the original. Also I don't like how you have to keep punching the attack button whilst waiting for your special moves to recharge. Enemies take ages to kill, can see it becoming very repetitive in large horde battles. Will definatley order the full version however, I really enjoyed the first game.

I liked it. You have to bear in mind that it is a demo and in the full game you will have more abilities

Only played the PC version, but I liked it.  A whole lot, in fact.  My only complaint is female Hawke's voice being a bit too.... 'girly', if that makes sense?

I liked it, however the performance on the PS3 was a bit iffy, small freezes here and there and it didnt flow well at all between cut scenes and gameplay.

Re: Dragon Age 2 Demo - Thoughts?

Yeah, I noticed that it seemed a bit glitchy. Loading as soon as the last enemy is killed to go in to a cut scene and stuff. DIdn't really flow sometimes, but I enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure it could get me hooked just because of the whole levelling up business :smileyvery-happy:

Re: Dragon Age 2 Demo - Thoughts?

completly agree, its not flowing well between cut scenes on the PS3 at all, i expect this will be fixed in the full release tho.

 

All things considered, im enjoying it alot!
