Morgoth

I've been playing a bit Crysis 2, and I must say I'm very impressed. Technically abolutely outstanding, bot graphics and sound and music, art direction miles better than the predecessor, and gameplay and level design feel very challenging and invite you to utilize all tools and tactics at your disposal. The level design is semi-linear, still allows you to approach bad guys in some different ways. I especially like sneaking upon some CELL guy and stealth kill him. Kicking cars is also fun. Opposed to some reviewers, I think the AI is one of the better ones. Overall it's much better than Crysis 1.

I think I just shat a brick.

There's more gameplay in DA2 than in all IE games put together.

Maybe they had to instant art assets, in order to avoid memory issues. I blame the consoles, of course.

I liked Kirkwall and the districts just how they were - cut out the time waster but still convey some impression of being a place.

I don't know about you, but I don't like running 30 min across town to get my quest.

Quantic Dream to stay PS3-exclusive A wise decision.

There weren't that many areas outside Kirkwall to begin with, therefor I didn't get the impression that re-used dungeons got on my nerve. Actully, I didn't mind at all. Seen one cave, seen them all. So what?

Oh hey, the US and the NATO assaulting another oil-rich country? God bless Austria for not being a NATO member and therefor a perpetrator of evil.

I'm waiting for my Crysis 2 EADM key to be emailed to me.

People are woo to much swelling up the romances in Bio RPGs. Sure, I thought when Anders suddendly kissed me I had to facepalm, but it's not getting into the way of being just a fun and well made RPG. It's such a minor part and can be easily ignored.

Fiv5 Thi4f, Fe3r, now this. Edit: Fixed

Glowing object highlights, how very consolish. It's like the game doesn't want us to look around ourselves. Also the alternative paths are too obvious, destroying everything that made DX great in the first place. Thy could just put in some quest arrow, it wouldn't make a difference.

I don't trust the mountain people.

And, is it a worthy sequel?

DA2 had some good writing, sometimes even strong, but nah, the best writing since PS:T comes from MCA himself, Alpha Protocol.

No.

AP has yet to be beaten when it comes to C&C.

JE was easily one of Bio's worst games. Either way, finished DA2, and liked it very much. The plot about the Circle vs. Templars was refreshingly good, and overall it had better pacing and combat than Origins.

But it's also the truth. Bioware has 3 original IPs, all of them successful. Obsidian has 1 original IP, which failed.

So, Molyneux apologized again? How very British of him. That won't stop him though to make up bull**** again for his next title.

Funny how so many people who say graphics isn't important are the first ones that blame i.e. DA2 is an ungly game.

As long as all versions ship with English VO I'm happy.

In how many VO+Text languages will DS3 be translated? Will the game be released multilingual in Europe?

"Arrival", sounds like the Reapers are about going to rock. But they won't succeed. Because Commander Shepard is better than you!
