Dragon Age: Origins[views:9458][posts:100]_____________________________ [Nov 4,2009 1:15pm - ark ""] Any RPG fan should get this. I downloaded it on PC. played for 40 minutes and it's amazing so far. "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate series claims BioWare. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 4,2009 1:23pm - aril ""] Good modern rpg. Shining force is still the best game of all time though. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 4,2009 1:25pm - narkybark ""] Keeping an eye on this one, I'm tempted |
| ______________________________ [Nov 4,2009 1:27pm - aril ""] Still playing icewind Dale. My computer has 2000 specs so I'm a lil jealous |

| ______________________________ [Nov 4,2009 1:58pm - slymo ""] im still playing "age of conan", i really like that MMO |
| __________________________________ [Nov 4,2009 2:12pm - narkybark ""] I just finished Risen, I liked it, it's essentially Gothic IV so if you like that series pick it up (PC ONLY, the Xbox verson apparently blows) |

| ________________________________ [Nov 4,2009 2:25pm - Martins ""] I'm considering picking up Dragon Age but I'm going to play Assassin's Creed II first since I already pre-ordered that. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2009 2:54pm - narkybark ""] I picked this up, it's really good, much better than I was expecting. Dialogue actually has consequences. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2009 2:57pm - arktouros ""] i've been having a hell of a time with the combat in this. there is so much more tactical depth than i first realized.. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 10,2009 6:25pm - GUY ""] i'd totally buy this if modern warfare 2 werent cosuming my life |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2009 11:38am - arktouros ""] jim i'm calling you out, i played through both shining force games years ago, this is a better game by far in every way. eat it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 2:13am - xanonymousx ""] damn this game rules. i wish i said different things already and im only 4 hrs in i have a love hate relationship with these rpgs. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 6:02am - Dankill ""] Awesome game. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 6:58am - AndrewBastard ""] I'll get this in a few months when it's like $15 used...That's how I role. I'm just now delving into the Shivering Isles Expansion for Oblivion. |

This game is indeed good, but sf is one of - if not- the best 16 bit games and was crucial to the development of console tactical RPGs with emphasis on character development. That's like stating new satyricon is better than old bathory. CANNOT COMPUTE |
| __________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 9:44am - arktouros ""] agreed it's crucial to development. i just have more fun playing dragon age, and i'm not even 9 years old anymore. really though, aside from being a tacticial RPG with character development, it's tough to compare them. graphics aside, dragon age has a lot more classical RPG elements like dungeon crawling and conversation and moral quest choices, as well as completely different paths and play styles. i'm saying if it came out back in the day, it would have made SF look silly. SF is like...a rung on the ladder and dragon age is the top, man... ok enough ranting about fucking video games. gotta werk. and old bathory is an experience, while new satyricon is just something to listen to. |

We get it, no game is as good as the ones that actually run on your 12 year old PC and colecovision console. When the Rygar Vs. Contra argument happens I'll be sure to come grab you. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 11:43am - arilliusbm ""] I've played many, many 360 games my friend. I chose not to keep 360. |

I'm just now delving into the Shivering Isles Expansion for Oblivion. I do that. Very few games I will be buy the day of, but when I do, it's usually a Rockstar game. BTW, you weren't at the space last night. I brought GTA4 and COD4 if you want to give those bad boys a try sometime. This game does look awesome. I hear the PC version is alot different than the 360/PS3 versions. Something about it being more action oriented for the consoles? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:05pm - arilliusbm ""] I am compelely clueless about ps3. Interested in grabbing one soon. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:12pm - arktonormous ""] In the pc version of dragon age, you can zoom out to a tactical view just like the true baldurs gate RPGs. Coupled with the mouse command system, the console version completely fails. You can play the entire pc version like baldurs gate if you want. Otherwise it controls similar to world of Warcraft but more in depth. Combat pausing and all that. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:19pm - arktonormous ""] More action oriented, not really... More like the pc version is more challenging (difficulty is amped up to force you to use tactics) and not dumbed down to fit on a controller. At some points it's just impossible and I have to turn the difficulty to normal |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:26pm - arilliusbm ""] Should i get dragonage for pc then? |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:52pm - arktouros ""] absolutely, it's how the developers intended it, their publisher (EA) forced them to make console ports i'm sure. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 12:53pm - arktouros ""] but you do have to upgrade your voodoo3d card :( |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 1:14pm - ouchdrummer ""] i want this for PS3 |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 1:51pm - arilliusbm ""] arktouros said:but you do have to upgrade your voodoo3d card :( never told you guys about my laptop lol |
| __________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 2:58pm - narkybark ""] it's much better on PC, get it that way if you have the choice |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 3:59pm - ouchdrummer ""] narkybark said:it's much better on PC, get it that way if you have the choice Well..... i definitely believe you, but you know as well as i do that i DON'T have a choice. My puter probably couldn't run the credits to this game. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 4:05pm - arilliusbm ""] your computer is barely in a case haha |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 4:09pm - ouchdrummer ""] arilliusbm said:your computer is barely in a case haha my computer is wearing a thong. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 4:14pm - arilliusbm ""] I must admit, when I look at that thong it gets me slighlty aroused. Does it have a place to stick an 8 inch floppy? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 4:17pm - ouchdrummer ""] who you kiddin, you're working with a 3 1/5. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 5,2010 4:19pm - narkybark ""] O SNAP SON |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 6,2010 2:35pm - xanonymousx ""] i've played this game way too much the past few days... its gonna be on sale at best buy next week for $50 according to cheapassgamer.com |
| __________________________________ [Jan 6,2010 2:42pm - arktouros ""] 10 bucks off an ass raping! i remember when the retail price for Shadows of the Empire for N64 was $89.99... and worth every cent |
| __________________________________ [Jan 6,2010 2:50pm - narkybark ""] $50 buys you a lot of gay elf sex. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 6,2010 4:52pm - arilliusbm ""] Is your computer available for a date soon? I would love to fix it's master and slave settings. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2010 9:37am - the_reverend ""] VERY tempted to buy this. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2010 9:38am - the_reverend ""] it is on sale a BB for $30 now. |
| _____________________________ [May 9,2010 1:46pm - Slag ""] Just installed. Looking forward to getting lost for awhile. |
| __________________________________________ [May 9,2010 1:51pm - Randy_Marsh 9/11 ""] I beat this game for xbox 360...was definitely good, a little bit tedious at times..I thought it could have been better (especially the end) but it is still solid. |
| _________________________________ [May 9,2010 3:22pm - Dankill ""] The expansion Dragon Age Awakening is worth the buy as well if you've beaten the game already. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 25,2010 10:10am - reimroc ""] about halfway through this game. really awesome. mage is super over powered. oh and i got morrigan in the sack BOOYA. |
