Dragon Age 2

Played the demo, will not be picking this game up.

You guys are lame, don't know how people can enjoy Mass Effect so much and not this. >_>

I'm a big mass effect fan, but this is better. (I'm making that comparison based on I liked DA:O better than ME2, and this game is looking even better than that one).

I like my RPG not for dummies.

Don't get me wrong. I loved DA:O and played through it multiple times (including a playthrough leading up to DA2). I'm really looking forward to DA2. However, the things I like about RPGs don't really come across very well in a demo such as this. So, I didn't really enjoy it. There was nothing in the demo, however, to make me think the game will be anything below expectations and I remain just as excited as before.

As a sidenote, I probably wouldn't have liked the ME2 demo if it had come out before the game (since it came after, I haven't played it).

I was really just saying that to Acebot and BaB...who said he enjoyed the demo but not the action/cutscene/dialogue pattern? That's exactly what Mass Effect does!

As for not enjoying the demo because nothing "mattered"...when I first started playing it I felt that way, but then I realized I could say whatever I wanted and put points into whatever I wanted with no repercussions because I would be making my "real" character later. That made it a lot more enjoyable.

I don't think either of us, didn't enjoy it, but really the "combat" of Mass Effect is much deeper than this.. or at least what's presented in the demo.

Really? All you do in Mass Effect is take cover and shoot stuff while you spam your abilities. Combat is not the reason to play that game - as far as third person shooters go it's pretty far down on the list in terms of the combat.

Dragon Age is the same, except you don't take cover, and on harder difficulties a lot of emphasis is placed on setting up what moves each of your party members is using and coordinating an attack.

And to me.. again based solely on the demo, this boils down to wacking the X button and occasionally using one of your special moves. Waiting for it to cool down, rinse and repeat.

Again, RPG battles don't loan themselves well to demos.
