The thing is, I didn't dislike DA๐Ÿ˜ฎ! I found it decently enjoyable, though my attention span ran out about halfway through and it is a deeply flawed game (namely it's just so generic, but I find Bioware in general to be rather generic with their games).

However, as I recall going into detail about on here before, the graphics and character modeling for that game are just inexcusably bad for a current generation console game at this point in time, and doubly so since Bioware likes to pride themselves as standing out from everyone else in just about everything they can. I generally don't agree in that, but DA๐Ÿ˜ฎ is just terrible in the the graphical and art aspect.

The concept arts I've seen are very nice. They just didn't translate that into decent in-game art or character models at all.

Are you by any chance still hung on that statement you made awhile back when you said the female characters looked like they had male bodies?

No...she probably just thinks the character models are bad. And they actually are in all honesty. ๐Ÿ˜

Well, the fact that they completely cheaped out in the modeling by doing that is a big annoyance, yes. Women are not men with boobs; the proportions are completely different on the bodies. And it's not as though they did the best job ever on the male character models, after all.

The graphics in general for that game, though, just aren't very good. I was playing it on my computer with the settings turned all the way up and there were still aliasing artifacts, the textures looked cheap and blurry, there's always an odd blurring effect between models and the background...

Normally I don't care much about graphics but there's no denying that DA๐Ÿ˜ฎ shockingly failed that department.

In Origins, the character models could've been improved I admit but in 2, they don't look that bad imo.

Peach has not played 2 and I've not even bothered with looking for footage. Will judge when Quan beats it and we see threads concerning it. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

DA2's models are cartoony, an obvious crutch to make lackluster models less visibly bad. Which is especially egregious coming from a company that typically prides itself on realistic models and textures.

In the meantime, screw DA2. Portal 2 is where it's at.

Dragon Age 2 models seem fine imo. Moreover females actually look like females, though I notice theres still some stiffness in the models and posture and the shoulders seem off. Nothing eyemeltingly terrible however.

Also Lady Hawke is bloody hot.

Though some of the er... 'proportions' are a little off. *Cough*

I thought that about Elgym too. Same with Mienfoo and loads of others throughout the series. However, Elgym's tribute to the War of the Worlds movie as well as Roswell is incredibly awesome.

Bisharp: The Power Ranger Pokemon.

I'm surprised you're not more of a Bug type fanatic. Or are you?

Bug types aren't typically my favorites. Beedrill and Scyther are amazing, though, and I like Shedinja. Vespiquen I found interesting. Out of Gen V, however, I do like Excavalier and Accelgor.

Of course women aren't just men with boobs. They have other parts too.

I was planning on getting Dragon Age 2 but something tells me to wait until I play Crysis 2 and Portal 2 first.
Get The Witcher 2 or just get the original. Screw Crysis 2.

From what I heard, Witcher had poor reviews.

Wait? what? did you check Metacritic? it has 81 with 9/10 user reviews and Mostly 8.5/10 from other reviewers.(Hell even G4 craptv gave it a 4/5)

which is impressive for a new company in their first outing, in a country with little game developers.

Quan is legitimately stupid.

BT is intentionally stupid.

/Differences.

BT occasionally concedes debates against characters so far outside of Kain's tier it's amazing the threads reach page 2, this doesn't in anyway counterbalance his intellectual dishonesty.

Still eating paste again I see.

Link fans can rest assured that Quan's empty threat on there fandom is worth about as much as cow shit. As once again the magic isn't competing much here(or anything else)

and my impressions on DA2: are less enthusiastic.

Man, I wish I remembered who you were. Oh well.

I see. The way you phrased it just seemed confrontational (eg: "slay all Zelda fans."๐Ÿ˜‰

And just to be sure: We are clear on the Cutscenes > Gameplay front, yes?

I am 90% sure that had something to do with the Cross Genre thing that Comics vs. was doing before it exploded. The other 10% involves me just looking around the various fora because I never leave Games vs. or the roleplaying forum.

Edit: QUANCHI PLAY WIND WAKER PLEASE.

That's just to motivate you to step up your game.

Maybe but ocarina of time really enraged me like no other game has.

Is this impression from playing the game, or reading up on it? Every critic I've seen so far has said it isn't really as goof as the first.
I won't 'give away any details or answer any questions yet but so far a big disappointment. The story is so lackluster to the epic tale of the first one. I knew it wouldn't be as good and still seems fun as it's still the same mythos but even though I am used to faster combat I liked the older game much better in every regard as of yet.

Of the LLLC, Scenario is the only one who wouldn't have to do this. Dude is their best guy by far. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

And why?

Edit: Also, have you ever played Tales of Symphonia Quan?

I keep getting praised and have difficulty accepting it.

Is this normal?

It's called modesty and no it is not normal, lol.
