An RPG doesnt need massive cut scenes to be an RPG, at least it didnt until the JRPG became successful. Baldurs Gate anyone? Sure it had cut scenes but not to the extent of what im hearing about DA. As for the "hack and slash" RPG's ive always considered them more an action game with RPG elements.
Did anywhere in my post say that an RPG needs massive cut scenes?
...however, this game DOES have massive cut scenes as it was advertised and created around having. An RPG does not have to have massive cut scenes to be an RPG, although this one chose to.
If you don't like the style of the game don't play it.
Complaining about a glitch is one thing, but complaining about what a game is when it was meant to be that way is just as asinine.
What, now you are just making defensive excuses.
The Gameplay Sucks Also.
ITS JUST LIKE GUILD WARS,,, But WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can Tactic the HEROES to fight, and makes the game easy. Also the Fights are Lame, with/without the whole easyness complaint.
Gameplay Sucks!!!!++++++ The Game is Nothing More then a MOVIE WITH GAME ELEMENTS!!!!= AWEFUL RPG GAME
I really really hope for the sake of all of humanity that you are indeed a troll.
Oh so iam a Troll, because I disagree on your opinion that DA is a great game?
Thats a New Low
No.
Your reasonings behind stating that DA:O is a bad game is what I find fault in.
You are stating that DA:O is a bad game because you do not like the playstyle.
Please realize that because you do not like something does not mean it is bad.
Hell, I don't like vanilla ice-cream... I think it's boring. Although millions of other people like it and I'm OK with that. It's still good ice-cream.
So how would shareing my opinion on the game, make me a Troll?
Your lack of reasoning and excessive immature emotion contained in the bulk of your responses make you a troll.
As well as your extreme use of exaggerated exclamation
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
"Torquemada... do not implore him for compassion. Torquemada... do not beg him for forgiveness. Torquemada... do not ask him for mercy. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!"
Well, if you went out and bought the game without doing research on the gameplay either by youtube videos or a review, then more fool you sir. The smart thing to have done (and what i do) is to watch videos of how the game plays, and read the storyline behind the game, as this is an RPG that is high up on the check list. The cutscenes are there to develop the storyline by visuals, the characters in the cutscenes talk with emotion in the voice acting which is vital to listen to when making valuable decisions in dialogue; also adding to the roleplay feel of the game. The cutscenes are a very interesting part of the game for me, without it I would be running around doing pointless quests.
Really sir, if you didn't do your homework before purchase or the company promised you something you didnt receive. Well there isnt much room for you to complain at all... Also to add, the 'Dragon Age is crap' opinion, is exactly that, an opinion. I think differently, and many sites have rated the game with 9.5's+.... but once again opinions. I don't see why you posted this?... im failing to see your gain...
The game was hyped up. I post this here for the same reason, people post possitive reviews on this site.
I sometimes stop just to listen to Allistair and Morrigan bickering. I just wish there was a dialogue box to tell them "get a room already!" Dragon Age isn't a trigger happy kind of game. I'm enjoying the exploration and the characters and learning about the setting. The combat is the weakest part.
Important facts: 1. Free to Play games are poorly made. 2. Casuals are not all idiots, but idiots call themselves casuals. 3. Great solo and group content are not mutually exclusive, but they suffer when one is shoved into the mold of the other. The same is true of PvP and PvE. 4. Community is more important than you think.
The cutscenes are playing, they are interactive and engaging. If you don't like that style of gameplay, then don't play it. It does not make the game a bad game.
I do not like the sims because I do not like the playstyle, it doesn't mean that it's a bad game.
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
Dragon Age is not a MMORPG. It's a RPG. There is a difference. The storyline and adventure is the focus. I haven't actually played Dragon age (yet), but I hear it's suppose to follow in the footsteps of Baldur's gate. I think i'll have to get my hands on it soon.
A 2 minute cutscene may be overdone for one person, while a 30 second cutscene may be overdone for another.
While a game can contain many cutscenes, there are varying degrees of how the cutscenes are implimented (quality/length/interactivity). People have different preferences.
This game revolves around interactive cutscenes to move the story along and provide choices.
Damn the shooting in this FPS is overdone, I shoot way to often. This game sucks, I hate shooting.
People buy a game to play the game. Your comparing folks not liking cut scenes to not liking shooting in a shooter is not even close. If you buy a shooter you want to shoot things.

I never said it was a damn MMORPG!!!!!!
the game still sucks. Not being a MMORPG, doesnt change that.
If all you want/Need is Cut Scenes to make a game enjoyable, then you will like DA, but if Gameplay means something to you, then rent DA, dont buy, because the gameplay Sucks

I bought a game that was advertised and is heavily cutscened, I got cutscenes.

For people who enjoy the npc interactions and the story info, then I can easily see them liking it.
For players who want non-stop action throughout the game then it won't be their game.
It's like saying the character development and story weren't developed enough in Doom III. Well, of course not, it's a shooter game.

All of this could be avoided if you got out of your "me" mentality.
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
You spend most of the time in Cut Scenes, then you do actually playing. Yes cut scenes add immersion, but in this case, it is largely over done. And the combat doesnt even make up for this. I could maybe understand if it did, but thats not the case here.
You're a liar, how far are you? Ostagar?
It's a BioWare game, it's not made for ADD chair spinning twats.The combat is strategic, pause and play. If you're board, play it on hard, I don't think you can handle it though. Most of the cutscenes are short, they even allow people like you to skip through them. It appears this is your first BioWare game, congratulations, you are not the target audience. I don't wanna type out to much, wouldn't wanna challenge your ability to pay attention.

Somebody may not like Cutscene != Game is Bad
But when the Combat is Bad then the Game=Bad

However, your reasoning for the game being bad was not liking cutscenes.
And Is the combat really bad? I enjoyed it. A mix of action and RTS. I played on the hardes difficutly and every action mattered.
I had a blast.
You might not like the combat.
I do.
note: I do not like the combat in the xbox360 version.
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
hyped or not sir, if you didn't do the research then don't complain? just because someone said it was good doesn't mean you should buy it, you should have gone and looked at it first, that is like walking into a mine field blind folded.... tread carefully and hope for the best...? You amuse me.... dont cry because you don't like the game, the game was advertised with cutscenes and there are videos all over youtube, If you researched it, you wouldn't be here saying this now. RPG's arn't your game genre, go to your action button bashing games and quit complaining because you made a mistake, no one forced you to buy the game, maybe people would have reacted differently if your orignal post wasn't so,... simplistic 'It's crap, to many cutscenes'..it was the manor of how you worded your opinion... twas hardly a review, reviewers look at pro's and cons... I just think you got the game didn't like the fact you wasted money and have started trolling, maybe you didn't want this response... or prehaps you did... think and choose words carefully.
Sorry you didn't like the game, sounds like Bioware games aren't your thing. I love story driven games and this is one of the best out there. But if all you are into is combat and don't give a rats arse for story or character interaction then I suggest to never buy a Bioware game again.

I love it, topic starter is so ridiculous that he's getting all of us lurkers to actually post
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
I like it but taste matters and that much roleplaying and cut scenes is not something everyone like.
Taste differs, get Diablo 3 when it releases instead, I think it will be more to your liking.
Just because I or you don't like a game doesn't mean it is bad, some people like RPGs other like action games instead, it is the same as some people wants FPS and other RTS games.
If you like Diablo and hate Baldurs gate you should play Blizzard games instead of Biowares.

I sometimes stop just to listen to Allistair and Morrigan bickering. I just wish there was a dialogue box to tell them "get a room already!" Dragon Age isn't a trigger happy kind of game. I'm enjoying the exploration and the characters and learning about the setting. The combat is the weakest part.

Sorry you didn't like the game, sounds like Bioware games aren't your thing. I love story driven games and this is one of the best out there. But if all you are into is combat and don't give a rats arse for story or character interaction then I suggest to never buy a Bioware game again.
I love it, topic starter is so ridiculous that he's getting all of us lurkers to actually post
"In life we are all turds, some sink and some float but in the end we all get flushed."
I second that ... RPG's are story driven , and character interaction is a huge part of role playing...
High five to lurkers!
I like it but taste matters and that much roleplaying and cut scenes is not something everyone like.
Taste differs, get Diablo 3 when it releases instead, I think it will be more to your liking.
Just because I or you don't like a game doesn't mean it is bad, some people like RPGs other like action games instead, it is the same as some people wants FPS and other RTS games.
If you like Diablo and hate Baldurs gate you should play Blizzard games instead of Biowares.
