A P O L O G I Z E !!!

If DA2 came out today, it'd be a GotY contender.
So would other abortions like Resident Evil 6. Thief 4 might even look decent enough.

What was so bad about it again? Never played but I remember people having meltdowns over it back in the day

i didnt even play the dlc to dao 1
in my mind the series ended with the first game finale

Awakening is good THOUGH

its short, clearly unfinished, major parts of the story happen off screen, and the entire game takes place in a city because they were too lazy to make a cohesive world, on top of that the writing is trash and the gameplay was dumbed down to retard levels

Anders was good in DA2 and did nothing wrong.

Copy and pasted enviroments
bad gameplay
ugly artstyle
lackluster writing

DA2 wasn't that bad a solid 7/10. It probably would have been a far better game if EA didn't have their head up their own ass. EA basically forced BW to make DA2 in a 14 month time frame when it took BW 7 years to make DAO.

I liked the qunari in DA2, that's about it.

Its only fault was repeating dungeons.

Great story

Good companions

Dumbed down but fun combat. Especially mage and archer builds were great.

Respect your world sstae from origins. Has great cameos. Doesnt ruin them.

FemHawke and her sister is hot as fuck.

Honestly a miracle they managed to release that game in just a year. 7/10.

I always liked DA2, sure it could have been better but I didn't think it was complete garbage.

Unironically as mage hawke sided with the templars because dude what the fuck. Every single mage in kirkwall resorted to blood magic, even canon hawke resorted to blood magic while fighting the arishok.

It's literally the weakest DA among the first 3. Trash.

Just because a future game is an even bigger piece of shit doesn't mean that absolves the old one

Nah dude inquisition was pretty bad.

all mage templar war build up from past two games over in a single mission at the end of act 1

grey wardens went full retard

orlais isn't interesting

game leaned far too hard in the elf and qunari direction

established qun allows trannies

gameplay isn't fun

companions are more annoying than in previous games

I'm sorry, maybe if I didn't buy DA2, Veilguard would've never been made.

Reception wouldn't have been so bad if EA treated it as spin-off shovelware. But instead they chose to label it as an official sequel while slapping a $60 price tag on top for a game that they blatantly rushed as a cash grab.

kek no. DA2 was dogshit and apologists are nostalgia fags or DA secondaries that thought Origins was too old school.

Da2 sucks so bad. I'll check out veilgaurd when I have time. Havent looked at the reviews yet.

It's a smaller scale pseudo-expansion sequel to a CRPG style game. Imagine if Baldur's Gate 3's sequel was some rushed expansion pack with real time looter gameplay all taking place in the Planescape.

EA happened and forced BIOWARE to finish early. hence we got the timeskips and lack a world to explore and that faggot beardless dwarf narrator

Creatives didn't have the chuff to make it happen and deliver a good game.

nah both DAO and DA2 are lvdo for different reasons
only midwits hate DA2 and ME3

Why? It really wasn't that great and was painfully recycled.

"Here's the copy/paste dungeon you've already done 5 times but this time a different door is open to another copy/paste room you've done 5 times."

I've played this game like 6 times and most dungeons repeat like once.

Growing up is realizing Dragon Age 2 is way better than what other people were saying at release and that Dragon Age: Origins - while it has really well written characters - has TERRIBLE gameplay for a crpg

No, the moment they had shown DA2 had the mass effect dialogue wheel I knew the series would never recover

This

Absolutely.gif - 200x200, 979.59K

It's better than anything they've released since but it still sucks

Will always and forever be a lackluster game that missed the point of what made Origins so good.

No, it's garbage.

Great story

Good companions

Respect your world sstae from origins

Where do you retards come from, the Bioware forums?
The story was dogshit and nonsensical, the companions were utterly retarded, and the world state was definitely not respected considering Leliana somehow came back to life after I had beheaded her.

Imagine if a final fantasy story entirely localized within a single city.

came back to life after I had beheaded her.

Only 0.00001% of players (absolute retards) like yourself killed Leliana. And even then Bioware was kind enough to come up with an explanation for that (magic lyrium revival ghost shit)

Story and companions were great. Cope.

the lazy developers didnt crunch hard enough

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Only 0.00001% of players (absolute retards) like yourself killed Leliana. And even then Bioware was kind enough to come up with an explanation for that (magic lyrium revival ghost shit)

I'm done here, Biodrones will truly never stop slurping up Bioware's retarded shit.

A lot of people have played this game, and they repeat more than once.

I accept your concession. Also dont call me a biodrone. I abhore current bioshit more than you.

Ff7 remake?

That is all

game was so bad the male love interest was either an STD riddled pirate whore, or literally hitler in elf form

People decided to just simp for the sister instead even though she isn't even romanceable

no

A normal conversation has someone saying something like

DAO and DA2 are lvdo for different reasons

and then going on to mention those reasons.

2 was shit
fuck off faggot

Anyone who has played a SINGLE bioware game since the released of Dragon Age 2 deserves every bad thing that has ever happened to them.

Biodrone.

DA2 is fucking garbage

Witcher 1 did the same and it was great

DA2 is the KING of Gamestop's BOGO bin.

It was originally an extension of DA:O, situated into a single city, with some copy-pasted dungeons. Which okay, for Dragon Age: Origin, would have been decent, I guess. Not the best, but decent.

They decided to make it a game. Not expand the scope, oh no, or rework the dungeons, or anything else. Just put slightly better (but ugly) graphics on the concept.

If you can stomach the fact that this game is vast as a puddle, it can be somewhat enjoyable. It's not DA:O but there is still fun to be had here. It also introduces the Qunari, which are fascinating, and the story is... not the absolute worst of a video game. And the gameplay is so-so. So you could have had fun, I did then, even if I knew it was shit. It's certainly not to the level of DA:O, but given it's literally a extension, it shouldn't need to be compared to it.

Even DA2 DLC which had that shitty marvel elf chara representing everything wrong with DAV was bearable since it was only a specific part of the game, now the atrocious writing is present everywhere in DAV

I only played DA:O. It was good, but not good enough for me to pick up the sequel. Watching from afar as the franchise continues and slowly melted into the slime it is today has been a strange experience.

Doubt we will ever get a good wrpg for a very long time, the standards been dropped so low people consider that BG3 is a masterpiece

I already did with Inquisition. Origins is still infinitely better and I played 2 before Origins so not based on nostalgia.

I replayed DAO earlier this year and then decided to give DA2 another shot for shits and giggles to see if it's really as bad as I remember it being on release. Yeah, it is. It's fucking shit. Anyone who defends it is retarded.

NIGGER ITS THE REASON VEILGUARD STORY EVEN EXISTS...

for what?
i've always loved DA2 and its always been better than Origins
the fact they packed so much kino into this game in only 6 months of development is the only real crime, imagine if they had a couple of years to work on it instead.

Copy and pasted enviroments

game was shit out in under 6 months because corporate wanted to flip it for profit.

bad gameplay

its identical to Origins

ugly artstyle

its the same as Origins but with better graphics

lackluster writing

Origins had this problem too. At least DA2 was good most of the way thru except for a bit of an underwhelming boss fight. Origins had a straight up retarded story cobbled together that made no sense.

Dragon Age literally killed Bioware and it started the trend of hiring homosexual obsessed marxists that hate videogames.
Why would anyone apologize?

cope

cope

cope

shill & cope

Everyone hated DA2 on release (except journalist shills ofc), now get back into your cave

i wont apologize to stage 2 cancer for not being stage 4 yet

A bunch of eunuchs are going around doing revisionism over how anonymoose "felt" with many games and franchises but they are newfags so they don't even know how many memes were made about Dragon Age.
They don't even know about Hamburger Helper.

Apologize for what? Its still 2/10 garbage. Inquisition was a 1/10. Veilguard is probably a zero

back when Bioware made Varric give her bigger tits in his version of the story

What went so fucking wrong

mlxm23xuint41.png - 600x236, 336.35K

Bad things are still bad even when worse things have come out since. Hope this helps.

All of the resources went into ME2.

What for? This game was pure unfulfilled potential.
The story concept could have been a breath of fresh air in the staleness of rpg writing but they wasted it through generalized incompetence in every aspect of the game.

but veilguard is even worse

I'm not calling shit tasty just because the alternative is nuclear waste.

It's literally the only thing keeping them around.

Killed them as in now Bioware is not a company that creates videogames as a love letter for their favorite genres and artistic vision but a publicly traded company that must appease investors and follow disingeneous consultants that act in bad faith to push agendas.

20 different quests spawn me in the same corridor I've already done 50 times

Nah, this game is mostly trash.

No it’s still shit no matter hard they’ve managed to shit the bed with their newest game.

Again, no. It still sucked even if what came after sucked harder.

R U S H E D C A S H G RA B ! ! !

Everyone hated DA2 on release

same with Mass Effect 2.
Both ended up being the best of their franchises when everyone saw how much of a dumpster fire the 3rd games were.

Anders fucks you in the ass

can't romance best waifu

I like that if you're a mage in both origins and 2, your characters are 2nd cousins.

fuck ive played DA2 a half dozen times and never noticed this

Fenris rapes you in the middle of the night

I liked DAII despite what anyone said at the time. The only real issue is that it was outrageously too short/thin on content. Clearly rushed. Otherwise dope.

This. 2 could have been 10 times better with at least another year of development.

bad gameplay

its identical to Origins

ugly artstyle

its the same as Origins but with better graphics

What's with the blatant lies?

DA2 was a shit game but at least they were trying. It wasn't their fault DA2 had to release one year after Awakening.

I always liked the silhouettes of major story characters in the dragon's wings, thought that went hard as fuck. I have also never played the game despite loving Origins.

in my mind the series ended with the first game finale

Same, my Human Noble died though, learning my big bro was alive and I made him the sole survivor was a shock.
