[ohlawd]

gonna lowball it on 83 a day after.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Time to confirm what I've known for months.

Time to pleasure myself with great respect.

 

[Matt Attack]

I'll be disappointed if the reviews are bad. Luckily, I have complete faith that it's going to do really well. Everything I've seen gives me a lot of confidence.

Metascore prediction: 89

 

[Hristi]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

Inquisition.

 

[Doffen]

93 meta

 

[Surface of Me]

EA must be confident ending the embargo now.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

Inquisition, easily.

 

[HiiiLife]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

I'm going with inquisition.

Spoiler

hope I didn't jinx it

 

[Corpekata]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

DA handily I'm betting.

 

[Deified Data]

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

I wrote the first review, which I will debut in the review thread in its entirety:

10.5/10.2 - Pretty Decent

 

[Sigfodr]

Awwww, they're so anxious.

 

[Raitosaito]

I'm buying almost everything this holiday regardless because I want more to play, but it would be nice if DA returned to form. I'll brace myself to read the reviews.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Prediction
At least 5 Reviews will suggest it is "Too Long"

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Even if those are good reviews, I wont trust them after the dust settles.

People were raging about how good it was DA2.

I thought it was just a few outlets who gave it good reviews & everyone else shat on it.

 

[M.W.]

78 meta

 

[Fix The Scientist]

Higher review scores: unity or inquisition?

Inquisition by the length of a mighty dragon's peen

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I think some reviewers are going to be extremely critical based off ME3 and DA2 and bring down the grades from 90s to high 80s

So I'm gonna go with an 88 metacritic.

What's the story with your avatar HP?

I think some reviewers are going to be extremely critical based off ME3 and DA2 and bring down the grades from 90s to high 80s

So I'm gonna go with an 88 metacritic.

This is a safe bet.

 

[Yeul]

Aw man the nerves the devs must be feeling. I'm feeling really good about it though, I know I'll have fun.

 

[Rhaknar]

I thought it was just a few outlets who gave it good reviews & everyone else shat on it.

it was, but its fun to have selective memory

 

[Russell]

78 meta

Not sure if serious.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I'm think an 86 Metacritic right now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

This Shit better start raining 9/10s

91 meta

That's right.

 

[wolfhowwl]

85 metacritic. May the Maker strike me down if I am wrong.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Really, really looking forward to this game.

Seems rare these days for the embargo to be this far out. I hope that indicates confidence in what they made.

 

[krimsoncharge]

82 meta.

 

[M.W.]

Not sure if serious.

Serious. I hope it's higher though

 

[Dsyndrome]

I'm gonna go with 91 Meta, fight between Bayonetta 2 and it.

 

[Sloane]

It's coming out next week? Thought it was in two weeks.

 

[Koobion]

Love things like this; the flood of passionate gamers eagerly waiting for the first glimpse of something is special. It's neat to see games just released at the top of twitch charts - sharing the opening of the gates with us all.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

89 Metacritic.

We'll see how it goes.

 

[wolfhowwl]

I thought it was just a few outlets who gave it good reviews & everyone else shat on it.

It was the Escapist and PCGamer that had the really outrageous praise.

 

[Hristi]

Any second now?

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

YALL MOTHERFUCKERS NEED SOME TALOS IN YO LIFES

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I'll predict an even 90 metacritic.

Prediction
At least 5 Reviews will suggest it is "Too Long"

Honestly would not be surprised.

 

[adj_noun]

It's coming out next week? Thought it was in two weeks.

Next week.

Also, ONE MINUTE (or so) SOMEONE HOLD ME

 

[Jira]

I think some reviewers are going to be extremely critical based off ME3 and DA2 and bring down the grades from 90s to high 80s

So I'm gonna go with an 88 metacritic.

Why would anyone base their review off of other titles and not the title that they're actually playing? Giving a sequel a lower score based on a previous entry in the series is just stupid.

[karasu]

My palpitating is heart.

 

[Deified Data]

I really wanted to go to sleep 30 minutes ago but now I've waited too long that I have to stay up and read the first review.

 

[Buzzman]

THE EMBARGO IS OVER FUCK SAKE WHERE ARE THE REVIEWS??

 

[Coffee Dog]

Shit mountain: 82 Metascore.

Star Child's Wacky Ride: 89 Metascore.


Just to adjust your expectations.

 

[Xando]

18th for the US and 21st for EU.

How did that pile of garbage get 82?

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

I really wanted to go to sleep 30 minutes ago but now I've waited too long that I have to stay up and read the first review.

That's where I'm at. My eyes are dying to close themselves right now.

 

[shwimpy]

return to shit mountain?

 

[Rurunaki]

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dragon-age-ii

82 Metascore.

Just to adjust your expectations.

Sound judgement here. I'm expecting 82-83 on Meta.

 

[oti]

Are video game review threads more fun than playing video games?

Think about it.

 

[Jira]

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dragon-age-ii

82 Metascore.

Just to adjust your expectations.

This isn't a 1 year dev cycle by the C Team. This is a 3+ year dev cycle by the team who made DA:O.

 

[CastleBravo]

82 Metascore.

Wow, I just looked at that and thought it was for Inquisition!
