  • this game is basically a much smaller final fantasy 12

  • I feel like the reviewer voiced his opinion too much, instead of remembering that different people like different play styles. This was honestly an amazing game, and the only reason we can't give it a 10 is because perfect games don't exist.

  • DRAGON AGE SUCKS!!!! "loading" thats your game !! LOADING ALWAYS LOADING !! no gameplay just "LOADING"

  • @heinric Sounds like you need to calm down... Ever THINK while waiting? It's healthy to think.

  • Meh why so much hate on DA2, i think the game is awesome

  • I THINK YOUR ALL ON FUCKING CRACK IF YOU THINK THIS SHIT IS BETTER THAN SKYRIM!

  • Skyrim or DAO is really a personal preference. DAO is more classic party-based role playing game experience and Skyrim is more sandbox feeling. But I personally choose DAO over Skyrim, because I prefer party-based tactics and role-playing game with basic mechanics.

  • I don't know what it is, but I could never get into this game, not sure why. Every time I boot it up I play for an hour and quit... kinda sad actually lol

  • Skyrim and this are different and don't compare them... but even if i am a TES fan i must say that Dragon Age suits me much more. I don't have the feeling that i am changing anything in the world while playing skyrim.

  • and not to mention skyrim has an open world u can discover..infinite side quests, so many guilds, u can be a werewolf or vampire, you can climb any mountain u see and the replay value is the best in rpg history!

  • this is NOTHING compared to Skyrim..i bet yall barely even played Skyrim, Skyrim has more races classes, u can smith ur own armor and weapons, the graphics are better and so much more! SKYRIM WILL KILL THIS ANYDAY!

  • @SSJ2GOKU214 people should not compare these two as they are much different gameplay wise

  • This game was amazing.

    Too bad the sequel was so terrible.

  • 4 real?

  • skyrim is amazing dont jip it all because u guys havent put propertime into it

  • Why all the Skyrim haters? Seriously, no one gives a shit if yall don't like Skyrim. Most of you probably hate it because of all the hype and attention it's been given but that's because it is a good game and so were the previous installments of the Elder Scrolls series... but i doubt yall even played any of them.. were you guys hating on Morrowind and Oblivion when they came out?

  • This game is so much better than Skyrim.

  • IGN is such a retarded website now.

  • Fable3: Very Easy

    Skyrim: Easy

    Dragon Age Origins: Medium

    Dark souls/ Demon souls: Hard

  • morrigan sounds like chloe from uncharted

  • @snake9718 Haha. Now that you say it yea she does. (just beat uncharted 3 a couple days ago. Amazing and fun)

  • downloaded on my ps3 last night ;)

  • this is the best game i'v ever played ... and i played many rpgs ...

  • DA:O Is really sluggish on the consoles and (I don't know about you) attacks don't feel like they are connecting. Console owners should pick up DA2 (although the story is weaker so I heard) because of the more action oriented gameplay.

  • Serious question here , has anyone play Neverwinter Nights 2 before , if u do , plz do reply , is Neverwinter nights 2 actually harder / DA 1 ? (I finished DA 2 its alot easier i find it)

    Because im able to play NWN2 pretty well no problem , but DA 1 , its like holy shit, the bosses r like using cheats ! ! I cant even finish the game and gave up = ="

  • this game was so confusing i didnt even complete it , i was completely lost by the 5th quest..

  • Both Skyrim (havent tried it but love to) and DA: O are awesome in different ways. 

  • DA:O was so frigging terrible.

  • how much is it on xbox live?

  • this game sucks

  • This game. Is so amazing. The best I can describe it as, is it gets you involved. I was very much mentally involved. I just.. I cant even sentences. I've played it through about 6 or so times and I still cannot stop playing. Best game. I've ever played.

  • Meh this vs skyrim is more opinionated than fact. Aka, different styles of gameplay.

  • i knew this game stuck with me when i once said thank the maker instead of thank god...

  • Does the battling get better after you leave the home land? cause I thought the story was good but was really annoyed at how battles played out... do they just stand there swinging slashing up an enemy like they are robots? I play mostly FPS so if i gotta command all these people all at once and have to pause every 10 seconds to figure out whats going on... im not looking forward to playing the rest of this game. unless that gets a hell of a lot cooler

  • @RecklessTheory The story is really intressting, this is not a game thats 100% about battle

  • @tymaca4321 sweet that's what I like anyways, I just would hate for poor gameplay to ruin the story's delivery that's all... But I started it up and have grown to like the style. Some of it is a bit overwhelming but isn't too bad after a short while.

  • i like this game but i prefer skyrim tho

  • should I download it or not ?

  • @Dematren Heck yeah!

  • @Dematren you have to download it,becouse it's one of the best games EVER

  • @Dematren Buy it!

  • @Greistburn SHOULD i buy it? this game have not multiplayer so, if i donwload it this would be the same if i buy it, the same things ...... ?

  • Planning to get DAO Ultimate Edition for the 360, but after I finish Mass Effect 1 & 2 and Skyrim. I'm really excited about this, I love medieval stories.

  • bitch slap at 03:34

  • Comment removed

  • I hated this game too complete crap,well overated compared to Kotor.

  • @v3teran75 stfu

  • 1:50 looks exactly like my PS3...

  • its funny reading comments about ads, if your sick of ads go on google chrome or firefox app store and download a adblock its free and easy as that. :P

  • so better than skyrim.....

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Please write that again, after you actually played Skyrim.

  • @FourManMovies I actually played till lvl 21 and got fucking bored sorry a game that has so much to do in it and still feel empty is not that good, there is no soul in skyrim, it's just blend and VERY overrated by fanboys and sold critics.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE not really after u complete the main story u cant go anywhere else in dragon age.....BULLSHIT plus u have to make a choice to either be a warrior mage or rogue unlike skyrim where u can change anytime......enough said.

  • @snake9718 i mean in skyrim u can change classes but in DA O u cant so dont bullshit

  • @snake9718 Don't just do the main story first then... there is a lot to do and enjoy besides the main story in dragon age, in skyrim i felt ALL quests i did till lvl 21 blend and boring.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Just because you found them boring doesn't make it better than skyrim. Your arguments are invalid.

  • @TransparentToy1993 Ok sorry i'll explain why i found them boring. Voice acting is VERY weak with no feelings or emotions at all that me turned off really quick, unoriginal scripts. I know a lot of people said that you have to forget all the glitches to like this game but the first quest in the Bleak Falls Barrow i got a glitch that made an invisible unbreakable door with the spiderweb... that was a very bad start and got 3 other in 10 hours of playtime, that's bad yeah.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Dragon Age : Origins is a bioware RPG. Of course it is going to be good, but Bethesda and Biowares RPGs are different in subtle ways.

    Skyrim isn't perfect, but the adventuring is what makes it great.

  • @MultiTrackyBoyz I will agree that it's not the same kind tough, skyrim is more about exploration than an actual deep story rpg, i'm not an exploration fan I guess.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Yes. By the sounds of it we are opposites. I prefer exploring things that I have never seen before like dungeons and abandoned fortresses, rather than going through things I would rather do.

    Thus, being evil isn't being evil if your not breaking the rules, and exploring isn't exploring if a million people have told you what to do.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Well, I've never had such bugs, EVER, and I have way more than 10 hours playtime. Either your game is broken, or you are terribly unlucky.

  • @TransparentToy1993 Probably terribly unlucky maybe!

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE Better than skyrim? i must download this now!

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE So much worse than Skyrim...

  • @laallaal75 The only thing better in skyrim is actually the content but hey who cares about content in a blend game.

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE pshhh not even..Skyrim is way better, heck.. BioWare's own Mass Effect Series was better than this...

  • @TheHXCtaLIFE what the hell are you talking about you retard!

  • 4:06 yup Ii have finished it 3 times and im playing my 4th

  • xbox/ps3 "too easy" wtf! you cant spell ignorant without ign

  • @jman09080 He's just comparing it to the pc version. Which requires a higher degree of tactics to beat the game.

  • stupid add, almost clicked to another screen....almost

  • i usually dont play these kinds of games, but this is pretty awesome.

  • This game will always be the best game i've ever played in my life... and out of all the games i've played, that's saying much. It is simply unrivaled in any way, shape and form and i'd choose it over Skyrim any day.

  • @ColteeYT YES!

  • @ColteeYT god do you know how good this is to read after renting this game

  • @MrBeauJango Oh trust me it won't disappoint.

  • @ColteeYT Skyrim is still pretty fucking bad ass tho

  • @ColteeYT bullshit!skyrim and DA O are very different games

  • @snake9718 DA: O is much more enjoyable to play.

  • @ColteeYT No comparison lol, apples and oranges. I enjoy them both for different reasons.

  • @ColteeYT What do you think about Dragon Age II? I hope you like that one as well. I mean, it's like everyone hates DA II. I don't understand it. I think it looks great. And of course, Origins, looks awesome as well. I'd probably get these games. you could say that I've become to play more and more RPG's now. I pre-ordered KoA: Reckoning which I am SO excited for :D BTW I've read that there will be a DA III ;)

  • pc sucks balls

    

  • @mcdowell456

    ha..

  • @mcdowell456 LOL huge troll, you commented that a 12 y/o is hot in your profile

  • Oh Dragon Age... PLEASE PLEASE redeem this franchise, Bioware. :(

  • I can say that dragon age 3 will be better than DAII for sure.

  • so the only difference between the pc and xbox is the graphics and tactics? the story is the same right? just made it seem like the pc had a slightly different story

  • @RecklessTheory no its the same story. it may have seemed like that because the reviewer probably chose different character backgrounds on the pc from the xbox

  • haha first time I played I didn't know you could pause and command....so I spent a lot of time retrying. xD

  • So it's like an even bigger version of fable?

  • 8.7 and 9????i say 10

  • This game is truly legendary everyone has to buy it.When i got it,first i didnt like it but after abit i feel in love with it

  • People if anyone dares to ask you What you think of the game and you say Ofcourse say "its is awesome!" And they ask you why you simply say

    Why? Why? Three Words My Dare Mortal "Warglaives , Of , Azzinoth"

    What is that? Tell me about the game!

    YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

    PS. if you did not understand that then well...YOU ARE NOT PREPARED...ASWELL!

    (Type in The burning crusade cinematic. in youtube and you will get a peace of it...

  • @issemayhem wow nerd....i used to be a wow player then i took an arrow to the knee

    then i got a life

  • hahahaha i love the new bf3 commercial this time they say right in the face of mw3 that they suck hahahahaa

  • @MyCrysisman it starts to get annoying when you watch it over and over and over again

  • why are people saying this game is 150 hours long, im 13 hours into the game and im already half way done and i have done almost all the side missions at this point, hell Gametrailers said this game was at least 60 hours long just to do the main story and yet if i had just done the main story i would have been done in a few more hours probably, don't get me wrong though this game is great i like it more than mass effect and i love mass effect

  • @chrismcnuggett My playthrough on nightmare as a dwarf lasted 180h. You are missing out on many hidden side quests, it has absolutely loads of content, the main story is only a fraction of it. P.S this is my favourite game of all time.

  • @chrismcnuggett You must be playing on Casual or something.

  • Please tell me what is wrong with me

  • I just bought this game today and hated it, I'm a fan of fallout, elder scrolls, final fantasy, fire emblem, pokemon, world of warcraft, dc universe, x-men legends, and I hated the fuck out of this combat system, graphics and voice acting

  • @oreosandmilk67 wtf??? The voice acting is some of the best I have ever, ever, ever heard! You're actually deaf... Graphics are very good too especially for the time it was made remember this game is now 2.35 years old.

  • @tachikoma747 now I know the dickhead below posted ones of those 'jokes', but stop bring so stereotypical. That is only a very small minority of the fans that do that, and it's usually the ones who have only played skyrim in the elder scrolls series. I love the elder scrolls series myself, but I like other RPGs like Da:O and mass effect.

  • REQUEST FOR HELP...

    When I go to enchant a weapon (Dragon Age: Origins) Why does it says "no items to enchant"??? I have five RUNES, swords, daggers.... and it says "no items to enchant".... What should I do...?

  • Too anyone buying this game on console because they liked mass effect.. It's still a good game on console but it's more designed for mouse and keyboard with top view.. It's a tactical strategy RPG which like rts's and mmo's along with other games in which multitasking is needed work better and are made for pc meaning mouse n keyboard.. Nothin to do with graphics.. Don't care about graphics that much..

  • I bought this game on console thinking it was somthing way diferent.. I thought it was gunna be more like mass effect I loved mass effect.. I wish I got this for pc instead this is a much more tactical game made for m&kb it's weird the way they took away the top view and sold it as an action type RPG. I probably woulda payed less to if I got it for pc..

  • *objects

  • :o wtf!!!!!!!! ive been playing for like 9 hours+ and i never knew you could pause!

  • @linkforever92

    i played skyrim for 30 hours or something and didn't know you could grab object >-<

  • @NarutoDipShit i played morrowind and got halfway through oblivion before i realised that one

  • @linkforever92

    xD damn 

  • skyrim makes this game look like last nights dinner

  • Hot shapeshifting magic ladies? Sign me up!

  • I dont get why people are arguing about DA:O and DA:2 vs Skyrim THEIR ALL GREAT GAMES hell skyrim came out just a month ago and i still play DA:O

  • I dont get why people spend well over £1000 on gaming pc's (or even more) when you could just buy a console for like £300... The graphics are narrowly better and it doesn't seem worth it to be fair. My opinions, not hating pc's or the ppl who play them

  • @uhMuzoki Mods. Texture packs. Transferring saves.

  • @Fizziwig2006 Hmm true. But mods and transferring saves can be done on console with USB. The mods arent as great as pc but still some decent ones.

  • @uhMuzoki the fact that you can use a keyboard & mouse, much better online community, alot more game options on steam or gamersgate, framerate is alot better. you can plug it into tv, you can use it for alot more than just games, you dont have to pay for live, and if you build it yourself, it costs nearly the same for console and it has better specs.

  • don't worry, Skyrim fanboys are just overwhelmed because they have never played an RPG before except fallout 3.

  • Hi I'm a huge elder scrolls fanboy douchebag who compares every freaking game released to Skyrim and if it doesn't involve some hackneyed arrow in the knee joke, I automatically think its shit and feel the need to tell everyone my narrow-minded opinion.

  • I played Dragon Age Origins , then i took an arrow to the knee now i play Skyrim

  • I don't know why people are fighting, I've been playing the game a LOT on the 360 and it is FINE. You can still have fun playing it even if it's not for the PC. -_-

  • @mew32197 i agree

  • @mew32197 I know right! I'm tired of pc fanboys saying this game is better on pc, its just as good on console.

  • @tontsa911 still cant get over the fact that the dragon age series got raped!............they wanted to make da 2 more like mass effect and there is where they went wrong, they forgot that the whole charm of DA which was its uniqueness

  • the xbox version was a fail but the pc version is my second favorite pc game the pc version is just fucking amazing

  • @dudesofcomedy whats the difference in the PC version i just bought dragon age origins ultimate edition and dragon age 2 for PC haven't played 2 yet but origins is frickin awesome.just tell the difference please

  • @haydes7i because you havent played the xbox version the pc version has better tactics and combat and graphics if you got dragon age origins for xbox you would hate it and what I said was dragon age origins is an amazing game on pc not xbox

  • @haydes7i the game is made for pc

  • i got both of Dragon Age and Skyrim, Skyrim has a more oh shit what have i done feeling, for this you must save game before doing anything big( like killing non aggressive npc).

    But i prefer Dragon Age, less dark environment, Skyrim its always winter, or spring but much more realistic you can just sit back and just watch the environment change around you hope nothing jumps out of the bush and kills you. But they are both great, enough to make you stop playing MMORPG for long time.

  • Ah, Alistair. <3

  • Enchantment ? ENCHANTMENT !!!!

  • I USED TO PLAY DRAGON AGE BUT THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE

  • @LuigiKat11 woot! go Skyrim!!!

  • @LuigiKat11 These meme needs to die.

  • where b all the dragons?

  • Whats with all those recent comments? Have all DA:O haters decided to visit this video? WTF?

  • skyrim rapes this game

  • @dudesofcomedy fuck off and watch your skyrim videos troll

  • play through this and kotor in the same time period. its great to compare the similarities and differences

  • @teamamericaworldpoli you play kotor too i love that game the first one and the second on who is your favorite charater

  • @Vc0145 I used to grow up, then I took an arrow in the knee.

  • I was wondering if it made any sense to download this on psn for $20 bucks

    Or to buy the ultimate edition from walmart does the psn version include all the dlc's

  • @keith8880 i don't think the psn comes with dlc. i got hard copy and got dlc

  • i hate this game

  • just finished the game (wiping sweat off forehead). Totally enjoyed it though

  • I used to play dragon age origins, But then i took an arrow to the knee.

    Now i'm stuck in the world of skyrim.

  • Skyrim, Dragon Age, Mass Effect...They are all the Best Games Ever

  • @ForsakenZOL Especially TES Series And Origins. Those 2 Games Made Me Love RPGs.

  • @ForsakenZOL Except that Dragon Age and Skyrim aren't.

  • @ForsakenZOL i agree wholly with this comment, though i will add to it by saying not just Skyrim, but the Elder Scrolls in general

  • @ForsakenZOL sorry but you forgot fallout :D

  • @ForsakenZOL what about MGS2

  • this is one of my favourite games ever :D

  • 2:19 , just look at that. I was very disappointed in this game. Awful animation quality. And there never seems to be any room for sneaking. Imo the game is very, very bad...

  • i really don't like dragon age, the story is very good, but the gameplay is the problem, i play in ps3 and yeah its soo hard to play only 1 hour... i think its because i need to play it on pc... Mass Effect is a legend! this game is awesome!!

  • If your no into medieval magic games this isn't your cup of tea. I kept falling asleep while playing this. It's not a horrible game. It's just not my brand of game.

  • Dragon Age: the Character is social

    Oblivion: Silent type...

  • My PC survived a fire but, it messed a lot of things up so I never got the chance to play either on PC. Just the consoles - I really enjoyed and like both games quite a bit. I can see how it's hard to get back the feel of Origin's from DA2 in some ways but, don't let anyone tell you differently. DA2 is still very much a Dragon Age game. Anyone, looking to try the series out it's best to ignore the rampant haters and look into starting with the Game of the Year type version of Origins.

  • Why buy ANYTHING when you can torrent it?

  • @TranscedentGrace NOPE just origin

    :l

  • @TranscedentGrace Support your developers so they can make more of your favorite games

  • @TranscedentGrace fuck yeah!!

  • @TranscedentGrace

    torrent is a trouble maker and do not have stable source. I'd rather use steam or other download service plus they sell games cheap. the service itself is well worth the money. And also some torrents are unsafe and some are Bull****. once I torrent a movie but it ends up with an embarrassing quality and totally a waste of time, I should just go to rent it for one dollar with much better enjoyment. And All the P2P are kinda dangerous and literately illegal.

  • @TranscedentGrace You should be happy that some people aren't so cheap that they can't pay a few bucks for something that provides them with hours of entertainment... I don't give a shit if people torrent, that's their choice, but thank fuck some of us are paying the developers to make games while the rest of the broke ass noobs play for free :)

  • MY FAVORITE GAME.. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SOO MUCH

  • I think this game is better than mass effect.

  • Two is a rushed piece of garbage. Play one forget about 2.

  • Great game. Must buy for any RPG player. It's not sandbox like The Elder Scrolls. It's a linear, story-focused RPG. You will love some characters, hate others. I missed Alistair after I had finished the game, what a great friend! Dragon Age II is awful though... Don't pay full price on it!

  • Skyrim is better

  • @A7xArmy1 No shit dickhead.

  • "Obviously... this......IS BAD"

  • This game is a very good RPG, the story is very good and also very good for pc. the texture is amazing and I rate this game 8/10

  • this is game is shit in my opion

  • Should i get 1 before i get 2?

  • Oh and also, Skyrim and DA:O are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT styles of RPG, each with their merits and attractions

  • PC bests three-sixty once again.
