Bioware Wants You to Know that Dragon Age 2 Will Still be Pretty Tactical

Many fans have been complaining that Dragon Age 2 is beginning to sound like an action RPG; a far cry from the strategic, tactical gameplay of the first game. Well they've decided to put those fears to rest and we have on our hands a new gameplay demo that you can watch and then decide on for yourself.

Lets hope they keep it tactical atleast for the PC version, which is how the franchise orginally was. Console versions were pretty dumbed down to begin with.

[Christopher]

Far from, actually. Just most people played on easy and didn't use the advanced action bar much.

[MAJ0R]

I highly doubt it will have the kind of tactical gameplay that DA:O had unless there waiting to show the PC version and it's differences

[ThanatosDMC]

The PC version of DA2 is more like DA1 on consoles from their latest video. It doesnt look like it has much depth as DA1.

Watch how fast melee heroes killed the enemies.

[Baka-akaB]

wich still happened when letting the game in real time on pc .

Let's just wait and see , instead of being so cynical .

The pause and controls were indeed there in the first game on pc , but it was hardly that strategic .

You could pause it and cancel crap , and even disable anything auto , but it was still a mess . A rather meh mash of real time action aand baldur and kotor's system .

[Simon_Brezhnev]

if its more action based im getting in on PS3 but if its more tactical im getting it on PC.

[trainsinrdr]

damnit i still need the first one and assassins creed 2 and bioshock 2 and infamous and just cause 2 and basically every game next year it feels more like a chore at this point lol

[MatthewMk2]

Well I want Bioware to know that they can take their bullshit EA sequel and shove it up their ass.

[Son_Lee]

I hope it's more action based. DA:O's battle system damn near bored me to tears.

[Imalwaysright]

You probably played it on a console. Unlike ME Dragon Age is a PC centric RPG and should be played on the PC.

[Dark-Cloud4]

the gameplay is the same , i finished the game in the console and still love it :) .... yea i know that the game in pc have more stuff and more organized but it's the same gameplay , i really hated it when i played dragon age for the first time but after playing it for 4 hours i got a good feelings , it's a special feeling , maybe because of the story and how you talk in the game, i don't know i just get that feeling and continue playing wiithout caring about the boring gameplay , but i get used to it after 30 hours of gameplay xD ...

[Rybakov]

i wanna see more screens of the female char male one looks ugly

[Dark-Cloud4]

yep , and i hope that i feel like im playing an rpg with a good gameplay....:)

when i play rpg game i play like a kid XD .. i don't care about anything , just play and have fun , playing rpg game not like playing a game like uncharted or games like that , i don't care about graphics or anything i just have fun .... the problem in rpg games that if you put a good gameplay you won't feel like it's an rpg game and if you put a good story with a bad gameplay you still enjoy it but in a diffrent way .... here an example : i played fable and love it but i don't feel like it's an rpg game because of the gameplay but when i play dragon age i hate the gameplay but i enjoy the story , in fable i don't feel like it have a story , everything like it's random but i love the gameplay in it ...

I think the game looks promising. It's funny, in many cases, the most vocal deriders of these games, are the ones that spend the most time playing and ENJOYING them.

Funny, that.

[Dark-Cloud4]

what's vocal deriders ?.. :D

[Zinc]

It means someone who says bad things about something. Criticizing something. Having contempt for something.

I'm not trying to tell you how to live, but you could look it up, as this is the internet. That's one of the best things about the internet.

[Arup02]

This is useless. I wanted do continue my experience from DA:O

[kvg88]

Well I hope its an improvement for Origins. Seriously, there were parts of that game I felt like I was a chicken running around with my head cut off the combat could get so frantic, far from tactical lol

[ElementX]

All I want to know is if they improved the graphics.

[Arup02]

I won't buy the game if they don't

[mobijoker]

Lets see how it pans out.I finished DAO four times and it was my GOTY of 2009 bcoz of its bigbang for the bucks.I loved ME2 and its my GOTY this year.But really,i don't want DA2 to be ME2 in medieval age just bcoz consoles don't have enough buttons.Bioware promised a different version for pc.Lets hope they keep their promise.

[Honest_gamer]

Not long finished dragon age origins ultimate edition on the 360 loved every minute of it can’t wait for number two however this time im thinking of getting it for the pc or ps3

[Perez]

I tend to rate the Pc version higher then the console versions of DA:O for the tactical issues and generally better framerate and graphics though saying that community released mods erased much of the visual weirdness that Bioware seemed to have missed in quality control and im hoping DA2 has less ugly character designs that weren't meant to be ugly. (if ya get my meaning.)

But I am a little worried about their texture work it didnt look very good in that video and yeah ok its still being made and who knows it should be fixed by release...please bioware less texture stretching!!
