This is why I hate playing on PC.

plb5545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

Just because there are errors doesn't mean it affects everyone. I rarely encounter any errors while playing PC games. That said DA2 demo seemed pretty buggy. I got a crash after creating a character. But I get crashes in PS3 games too. KZ3 reset/crashed my PS3 like 4 times and Black Ops PS3 ffs I can't even remember how many times so not just PC.

JsonHenry5545d ago

The only problem I have had in my 3+ hours into the PC version is sometimes the cut scenes hitch for a second. None of the other problems have shown up for me. But I am gonna bookmark this page just in case they do.

However, it is a small price to pay for the playing "THE" version of the game with all the options on, native 1920*1080, and TRUE stereo 3D.

Silly Mammo5545d ago

I seem to remember the PS3 version would freeze up on me so frequently that I stopped playing DA:O for weeks until Bioware finally released a patch to solve the issue.

It happens on console games as well. Don't blame the machine as much as slackass playtesting.

kevnb5545d ago

if you read the article you will see most of it is just user error.

callahan095545d ago

I agree with plb. I actually have over 300 games between Steam, Direct2Drive, GOG, EADM, and GFWL. And Dragon Age 2 is literally the first game out of all them that has given me crashing problems. I reinstalled my GPU drivers, problem solved. PC gaming is awesome!

WhiteNoise5545d ago

lol.

I haven't had any problems on PC.

But I hear the PS3 version freezed every 10 minutes or so.

Go figure.

Retards and their double standards, if the PS3 version is broken...it's the developers fault, but if the PC version is broken....it's the PC's fault :S

i haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned. haven't seen one bug yet on PC

edit: yup, just what plb said.
the demo was buggy as hell for me! so i'm glad the full version isn't

Simon_Brezhnev5545d ago

Well i froze 5 times so far on PS3 especially during a cut-scene.

kevnb5545d ago

ouch, plus the no auto-attack on console gets super annoying quickly. Still feels like a pc game, even if simplified.

callahan095545d ago

I totally agree. When I played the demo on 360, I was really let down because of the combat. Pressing A a million times a minute doesn't make me feel more engaged, it's just a nuisance. The controls for the PC version are perfect.

Simon_Brezhnev5545d ago

yeah i think they need a dedicated block button or something. since its more like an action rpg now.

kevnb5545d ago

just wish you could zoom out like in the first, but it looks so much better than dao with the texture pack and dx11, so I guess Ill let it go. Load times are very short also, it just feels super slick and polished.

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

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.

EA Made Dragon Age and Mass Effect DLC Free On PC By Retiring The BioWare Points System

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).

Mobis-New-Nest1399d ago

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.

All BioWare Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.

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

autobotdan1558d ago

Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy

chicken_in_the_corn1558d ago

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.
