Bioware are sellouts part 2 (chapter 2 of the sellouts saga)

 Previously on the Sellout saga; Bitching about dragon age.


Now don't get me, I love dragon age 1, I just wanted to highlight the signs of things to come.


I, along with everyone else was looking forward to the next game, hoping for more adventures of our favorite Gray Warden and friends. What why got however, was a rushed, unfinished cash grab most likely pushed upon Bioware by EA(another story entirely)
On to the points!

1: It's dumbed down.
And I mean REALLY dumbed down, to the point it might as well be a hack and slash game, hell it is seeing as you have to press a button every time you want to swing your sword, you have one weapon stat which is damage I think.
In the first game, you could be a human, a dwarf, or an elf; Each with more then one opening quest. Now however, you can be Hawke, a human. and yeah in DA:O you were stuck with a last name two, but for some reason that didn't bother me there, it does here. Why ask, because that's what Mass Effect did, you don't make a massive original world fill with unique races just to make some be stuck as a something that exists in the REAL WORLD. This bit will bleed into the next point which is...

2: Lack of content.
DA:O had 3 main cities, a few miner ones and some misc locations. DA2 has ONE city.
Do you see a problem here? I do, same with the lack of race choice, which removes the unique starting quests thus lowering the replayability, and the 5 or so dungeons reused over and over throughout the whole thin.

3:The name bugs me.
 Dragon Age 2? there was never really a Dragon Age 1, for the first game is called Dragon Age Origins, not just Dragon Age, a nitpick a know, but come on people. (Also Origins isn't um, the origins of anything)

4: Has almost no connection to DA:O
Hawkes adventures bare no relation to the first game, at all, unlike *shudders* Mass Effect.
yet another sign that they didn't really care about their fans.

On to Mass Effect 2.
I have not actually played this game so I'll be short.

1: it's pretty much a corridor shooter

2: Plot like the first one doesn't really end and you have to play the next one to see the end, I never like that.

On to the KoTOR MMO.

1: They made an MMO instead of an actual sequel, 'nuff said.

TL;DR Bioware sucks

Stay tuned(wonder how many young people will understand this) for the next part, where we deal with a completely different sellout, can you guess who? wait for it... it's, um... some sellout, don't you worry.
