Nice :) I'll be trying that out^^ Already pre-ordered my copy of Dragon Age II. It's gonna be awesome :)

I can only Hope that they fixed the horrible frame rate and screen tearing issues on the PS3 version! this was the Main reason why I traded my copy of Dragon age a day after I bought it for AC2!

a08andan5566d ago

I always play these types of games on my PC. Wouldn't dream of playing a game like this on console. And with graphics cards being as cheap as they are today, then PC ftw :)

imvix5566d ago

Well the PC version was the version to play. I heard Xbox had poor quality textures while good frame rate. Ps3 on the other hand had better textures but poor frame rate.

PC version had the best of both worlds, even my laptop with a GTX 260m could play the game maxed out in 1080p with above 60fps.

Also the PC version was alot more tactical then the console version, it offered alot more control.

Lastly PC version even offered mods, it was the real version to play.

joydestroy5566d ago

yep, getting this on PC for sure!

Eventually I will purchase the game. But these unlocks are a joke right? They are simply in game books of poems. and you have to be logged into your EA account while playing the demo on either your PC, Xbox 360 or PS3? What does that actually mean when playing demo on 360 and PS3?

Give me a new weapon or character... (or pet???) THEN you might get some demo hits!!!

EDIT: after closer read I did notice this statement too: "Upon completion of the demo, players will unlock a special weapon, Hayder's Razor, an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities, in the full release of Dragon Age 2.**" and the asteric marks lead to a May 31 2011 expiration. Still not sure how the EA account thing works for the consoles?

If you're signed into your gamertag which is linked to an EA account (if you've played any EA games before it should be) then it will automatically be signed into your EA account.

Legion5566d ago

So basically if I play an EA game on my console then it some how signs me directly into an EA account??

hassi945565d ago

Yep. Your gamertag is synced with your ea account.

a08andan5566d ago

In general, this is what developers should do. Release quality demos for people to try out. I like that! And I so want Skyrim now! I need a huge open world to explore :)

hassi945566d ago

It's been the 22nd for almost 10 hours here. Come on!

a08andan5566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

How are you downloading :(?

@Drazz, darn, I'm waiting for it for PC :P But, oh, is it on PSN too?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee82d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
