VGChartz: Dragon Age: Origins (PC) Review

Dragon Age: Origins is an excellent RPG, but one that was clearly designed with a specific platform in mind, and thus suffers on the platforms it was ported to. The brilliant and challenging gameplay on PC will satiate the expectations of even the most avid PC RPG gamers, but the console versions represent a significantly reduced experience all around. Nevertheless, with the excellent narrative and great characters, this is a game worth playing no matter where you buy it.

pc verson >>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;> any other version

dktxx25287d ago

ya it has to be better on the pc. i found the interface on the console to be really clunky and akward. but ti feels like it would fit perfectly on the pc.

Spazz5287d ago

Is there CO-OP for this game?

champ215287d ago

naa its a single player rpg. though its 60hours already and alot of fun so many choices to make.

configuring the AI npcs on the pc version is awesome (dont know if consoles do that).

anyways this game is my candidate for GOTY.

sagapo5287d ago

I love this game but sometimes it can get pretty hard if you don't have a balanced team tho.

Nihilism5287d ago

Just finished only 5 minutes ago, 65 hours it took me, god damn it's a good, game can't wait for the next playthough, there better be a dragon age 2 soon though, i wanna know wtf happened with morrigan...if you choose to do a certain thing.

Cosquae5287d ago

I kind of hope that what happened with Morrigan is what the sequel is going to be about. Will probably have to wait about 2 years at least to find out. Great game though. 80 hours first play through, second time around probably closer to 65.

Nihilism5287d ago

I still hold on to the hope that Morrigan was sincere ( it helps me sleep at night ;) ), and that she doesn't have goals for world domination.

Flemeth and Morrigan were easily the 2 most interesting characters in the game for me, I can't wait to hear what happened, I honestly hope they release it as DLC, but I doubt it, as you said, it's probably a big part of the story for the inevitable sequel

Tex1175287d ago

We all want to know what happens with Morrigan.

She was a very well written character, especially at the end.

I think she was sincere about it all, especailly if you have the approval at 100%.

Solbadguy5287d ago

this game on PC really shines over the console versions so if you have a capable PC then you must get it on that. The PC interface and tactical cam which is not present in the consoles version make all the difference for a better experience overall on the PC.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion499d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad499d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90499d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183499d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde499d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90498d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde498d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator499d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13499d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183498d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
