One of the most anticipated games on 2011 is just around the corner. But which version should you buy?
Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?
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.
Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.
For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.
Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."
Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).
What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.

While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"
Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well
Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy
Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo

I actually put quite a bit of hours into Anthem but i dont think its underrated. It was a huge mess, server issues, gameplay issues, crashes, no endgame loop, too few different enemies, uninteresting gear. too few dungeons.
It for sure had potential and if they could have managed to keep the same gameplay of the classes but without the rest of the issues, this game could have been huge, but in the state in which it launched it was such a letdown. They partly fixed some of the issues, but it took too long. A grinding game like this needs to hook players from day 1.
360 or PS3, but most likely 360.....especially since MS pays the big bucks to get the DLC first and makes it more accessible....
Playing through DA: Origins right now on 360......Hope that there's a bonus in DA:2 for finishing origins......All while my PS3 continues to collect dust....that is, until Infamous 2 and Uncharted come out!
No matter what.....this game is gonna keep me busy for a loooong time...Bioware really knows how to make a game worth it's weight in gold.....always a great story and lots of DLC to keep it fresh....more developers should take a cue from them....I'd rent less and buy more if that were the case....you always hear these developers whining about their games not selling, if they made them so that after a six hour session, they were finished, they'd have more success.
Consoles for me. Playing it with a keyboard feels like I'm doing a spreadsheet on Excel, plus no money for a X360 controller (PC).
PC.
Better graphics, mods, cheaper in price, and also Steam sales will be insane for this game.
I'm gonna wait until Bioware release a GOTY Bundle and Steam has the deal to get everything for like $30 and under.
Besides I already have DA: Origins on PC should get the sequel on that platform too.
:P
Neither for me. I have Origins on the PC but since they diminished the tactical/strategy part in favor of free flowing action - Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.
I'm also a little disturbed that DLC trailers were available last week. "The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the wedding supper."
PC easy, I played the console version demo first and hated it, blasted it on forums and cursed bioware for the crap. Then I played the PC version and it was like a completely different game, still had some of the problems but the interface and the management was so much better it was incredible.
I'm sure many won't agree with me here but I cannot see myself ever picking up the console version of this game but I may actually consider the PC version.
