61. Re: Dragon Age II Demo Feb 22, 2011, 23:00 Dades
 
If you liked the first game I expect you will like this one.

The combat doesn't play out like the first game at all to me and calling the differences superficial seems like a stretch. The ability to pause is meaningless due to the way the combat is structured to suit gamepad players. Someone mentioned animations earlier and I totally get what they mean, the animations in this game are pretty strange. There's also this weird stop motion effect on everything you do that's supposed to make you look stylish but instead makes the game appear to be running poorly.

I did notice some positive things however. I liked the ability to actually dodge abilities and missile fire using character movement instead of dice rolls. That was a welcome change for people who don't like bringing a tank player to everything. Facial animations were better than Origins.

The combat is too fast to be tactical, there's no weight to the weapons, a 2 handed sword swings as fast if it were a tooth pick.

Yeah I didn't care for that either. It feels almost like a JRPG or something.
