Bioware, if you're reading, here are my thoughts as someone who has just finished DA2 for the first time :)

I loved the sane characters way more than the sane characters in DAO. Give us more characters like Varrick and Aveline. I loved how you got to know the characters. I loved how it was based on politics and split into three separate chapters (though the first was a little boring towards the end). I liked that it wasn't a cliche story. I liked that the game was easier. I loved the battle system. I liked how it was voice acted. REALLY loved that!

For DAO, I liked that the areas had more variety. I liked that it felt more tactical. I liked the ending more. I liked that there was more variety in terms of what happened in DAO; there were bigger choices throughout the game that had a big effect.

I thought DA2 was a big step forward. Please keep moving it that way!

I hope this teaches Nintendo a lesson; they can't price old technology high just because they are Nintendo. They hurt their core fanbase through the Wii period and they'll no longer support a dead handheld. Either have good games being pumped out for it or lower the price. I am interested in the 3DS, but not until at least next year.

But the fantastic thing is that Nintendo does own up to its mistakes. Its not like Sony compensated people who were early adopters to the PS3.

This is just really stupid. Someone comes around to your argument and you mock them for it? Are we not allowed to change our opinions and become convinced of better ideas? Are we a "joke" if we are intelligent enough and open enough to change our thoughts/opinions?

You are the sort of person that picks a political party and sticks with it no matter what. And that is a real joke.

You know what I wish? That they had released this as a dating sim and skipped the puzzle part. I would LOVE to play a pure adult (as in, aimed at a mature audience, not just about sexual elements) dating/life sim like this. If I bought this I'd just be playing through the puzzle parts to get to the simulation.

@Chronozero I have never been, but I can't imagine that it is that bad in terms of personal hygieme. I've been to all sorts of geeky stuff, including MTG events. The worst offenders are guys who don't wash their hair. Thats it.

If I ever get the chance to go to the US in the near future, I have plans to time it around multiple things. PAX is one of them :P

@Faceless Troll Get ready to lose your $10. This is meant to be a substantial hardware upgrade. Skyward Sword looks extremely good for a Wii game. Bur compared to PS3/360? Uh, no. I don't think simple upscaling would work here to get it in line. Nintendo treats the Zelda franchise with the most caution; Zelda games have to look THE best. I doubt they'd create a Zelda with subpar graphics for a system.

I'm royally pissed. But honestly, as a midcore to casual gamer, this would never stop me from buying a playstation product. I mean if it happened again I might think twice. But right now? Right now I just care about the games. So as long as there are exclusives that Sony is offering that I like more than other consoles, I will continue to buy their products.

I actually hate stuff like this being included in the package. The thing I like about Zelda is it has no "modes", at most a mirror quest like the masters quest. Stuff like this and stuff like different difficulty level selections take away from the EXPERIENCE. With Zelda I don't want to play a game, I want to experience a WORLD, and stuff like this just reminds you that you are playing a GAME, it ruins immersion.
