  • Dragon Age Origins was an epic game... You did so many things, you explored so many areas, so many different environmnets.. The battle if not as fun as the second one was harder (in a good way) and more tactical.. The story was amazing and large in scale... The game is actually one of my favorites and deffinitelly on my top 5 of all time... DA 2 on the other side did some things better, but the game felt like the 1/3 of what DAO was..

  • @topografer For exampl I still remember the feeling when i was entering the deep roads in DAO.. It was amazing after having visited so many areas i could go to the deep roads where it was frightening as hell.. In DA2 deep roads was a joke

  • @topografer exactly

  • The real reason why this game isn't very high rated is because you won't even halfway achieve all the levels before you complete entire game. And when you do complete it. There won't be anything thing else you can do but to start all over again with a with a new saved data and start all the way back to level 1. Otherwise you have to download the extras which all together costs WAY more than what you have paid for the game itself.

  • do you rap that intro yourself dude?

  • nice intro!

  • my god the INTRO IS STUCK IN MA HEAD

    the whity show, the whawhawhaity show, the WHITY SHOW!

  • Guy who said elf head looks like ganondorf.

  • console version is a joke...

  • @VoidOvNihil1134 ppfffttt iv tried both and the console is waaaaayyyyy better

  • @Sparda1441 glad you enjoyed it :D i still think it's shit

  • @VoidOvNihil1134 fair enough

  • I loved this game, I just dont like DA2

  • thanks

  • @historicgamer im giving my citique n u tell me to " shut the fuck up" - immature-

  • ure playin the console version and 360 to make it worse,. :S ,. the ps3 console version looks better and also the pc version gameplay and graphics are much much better,. this 360 representation doesnt give the pc version justice at all,. gamespot gave pc version 9.5 and console version 9.0

  • @ZanderDF Yeah like seriously, shut the fuck up you little dweep. No one cares man. Guess what, the computer is the best. Why? Because it can be customized and cost up to 2000 dollars. So just shut the fuck up, no one's listening. Seriously, Who likes these annoying little fanboys raging about what the game looks better on. Shut, up.

  • @temptstress666 im not a fanboy i did say that pc is best,. i own it on pc and its fine,. ure the one making a fuss,. i luv all consoles equally just tryin to point out that in this case fer this game on console ps3 gets the win over 360,. but pc wins all three so we are in agreement here,. ure the one making a fuss here,. PEACE <3

  • Eww console version!

  • It's spelled 'medieval', you complete idiot.

  • i have to mention; these are console graphics right? PS3? because on my PC on highest graphics i really didn't complain on graphics :D

  • @Baseballschaap its 360,. ps3 looks better than 360 versions of this game,. not a sony fanboy but for this game,. pc wayy to go,. if u have to do console n have a 360 or ps3,. ps3 is wayy to go cuz of faster loading times and better graphics when compared to 360.

  • @ZanderDF or you could just get a decent PC that runs it :P

  • does this game get boring? cos im thinking of buying a new game

  • @filopride619 in my opinion, it has great replayability, i've made over like 10 characters =D you can make so many decisions which influence the game, so no, in my opinion it doesn't... :)

    however the combat, compared to the new one (dragon age 2) the combat does feel a little slow :)

  • You have the most retarded intro I've ever heard.

  • @bradalfk

    God, seriously, I know.

  • I have a question. I played dragon age 2 demo and it was the first time i ever played dragon age game. i didn't know you can manually attack by pressing the attack button. i thought the game was an rpg where the characters automatically attack. can you manually attack/press an attack button also in the first game dragon age origins?

  • @AgentCell well, you press the x/b button on the game in battle, the character will approach a enemy and attack with a basic assault. you can set powers to the other buttons.

  • @robloxfan459 ok I just needed to know that you can actually manually attack rather than just auto attack

  • @AgentCell I NEED TO KNOW THAT TOO, IF SO IM SO GETTING THE FIRST ONE!

  • Gotta love the intro

  • Have you got dyslexia or something?

  • i fucin want this game

  • The facial expressions from mass effect? WHERE LOL?? Seriously the facial expressions are pretty below par for mass effect 1 and 2. Just sayin.

  • @JesusWasADerelict its the same engine so they look alike but this game doesnt have the polish of mass effect. they didnt even try to

  • in the battle at kinda the start of ferlerdian or somthing i was like wtf im i watching a history show about scotalnds civil war or somthing fuck this lolz it was aweome and before u say im scottish i can make fun of scot pie land

  • HAHAHA " Evil motha fucker"!!! XD XD

  • I'm looking to buy a laptop that can play this game good settings with good fps. I was wondering if this laptop would do the job. BTW its called Acer Aspire 5553. its only $650.

    AMD Turion™ II Dual-Core Mobile Processor P540 at 2.40 Ghz

    ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 graphics

    4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1066 SDRAM

  • @mrmiagiistheshizz

    It's only 650?

    >.>

  • OMG DOES THIS GUY TAKE A FUCKING BREATH?

  • @DarkHour404 fag.

  • @gjerbil u mad bro?

  • of course BioWare gives a shit about the story. lol thats their main thing is there epic stories and having ur choices matter in the game past just good v evil

  • Great review mate. Really useful :D

  • hey you like song of fire and ice too?

  • Good review, I liked how you summed up the graphics.. very true. They aren't top of the line, but they are well designed and suit the games atmosphere.

  • DnD + WoW + Tabletop RPG + Hack n' Slash + Uniqueness + A fantasy version of KOTOR = Dragon age: Origins.

  • @GRAFFDEMON nah i have to disagree, dragon age had nothing to do with mainstream hackknslash, it was mostly an rpg that was a fantasy version of KOTOR, since it lacked the qualities of wow and dnd that make those games unique (wow has massive multiplayer and dnd handles quite differently) but it was handled like a tabletop rpg due to the pause'n select move style of it.

  • Wanna be black man! damn didnt see that coming

  • Hey I have a suggestion.

    You could try slowing down a bit when you talk because sometimes it makes your words a bit hard to follow. Just trying to help you, no offense. Nice review, though. Might have to pick this game up finally. Never played an RPG before, but the action in this looks really intense.

  • Is this as good as oblivion

  • Atually whity this is the first review i ever saw of your channel, and I gotta say without your review I wouldn't have gotten DA:O or its expansion pack. On that note thank you considering I find the game incredibly enjoyable and immersive. Hell whenever I see a certain "hero of fereldan" on screen my blood boils at him, no other game i've ever played has done that to me. In my opinion that speaks true Art and honestly one of the best games ever created. It also helps that I like the combat :)

  • this game on the pc looks so much like wow 

  • Yeah I don't think this is for me....I will stick to Mass Effect.

  • hahaha this guy is gay

  • @gameprototype Tough little man saying someones gay on the internet fucking kid

  • The 'Twists and Turns' in the story tended to be gentle curves rather than huge surprises! Also this is more like Mass Effect than Baldur's Gate, as id has no exploration - what real RPG from Ultima to Fallout to Baldur's Gate to the Witcher doesn't have the wonder of exploration? This game has enforced fast travel instead! Bioware strengths are in story telling, so they should write books or make movies, but when it comes to interactive games, it is getting too shallow.

  • masterful game

  • WTF what was wrong with Jade Empire? Awesome game. I thunk dragon age would have been alot better if they used the Jade Empire combat system.

  • @TheMetalpocalypse Lmfao No no no no nooo 

  • @MasterFireGod Hey man don't get me wrong, this game is awesome. I finished it multiple times and got 1050 achievement points for it. The story and setting were great, i just hated the combat system.

  • @TheMetalpocalypse i will totally agree on that i just got the game and i was so confused with combat and it kinda does suck

  • @MasterFireGod

    for me it was confusing at first but it grew on me and once i knew what i was doing it was pretty awesome ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • personally the only thing i dont like about this game is the game play

  • oh yeah fire sword to the head of an ogre.

  • hey whity can u tell me how many hours did u need to finish this game, also did u play it just rushing the main story or did u when doing all side missions too?? thx

  • 'Midevil?'

    It should be 'medieval.'

  • I got the PC version and it's perfect for me, played through all 6 origin characters. it's the best rpg i've played, and i've played a lot in my time.

  • Song of Ice and fire win dude

  • worst intro ever.

  • seriously...not the worst ever :P...not the best either...but i remember when i started watch whitys reviews....i was singing along xD

  • What the hell was that finishing move at 6:40 ?:)):)) Is it something you do or is it something special for the 360 ? I never saw any of my chars do a finishing move on any of the bosses...playing the PC version... I haven't been playing really that long but still :D:D Anyways what was that ?:D

  • It does happen on PC - Sometimes, but I think its a bit glitched, if you move as the boss dies, it ends up stopping the animation. Atleast thats how it is to me.

  • i liked jade empire :P

  • @StainToXin funny though how they never created a new one, that was one of a truely epic game, combat felt so real.

  • @javatar2r Yeah it was a epic game :)

  • Good review - lots of info and all useful...

    5/5 (Y)

  • @aggressivegeek good review of the review (4/5)

  • A very good review i must say and you get all the basic's + (little ekstra) so you coverd the stuff i needed to know mutch better than the Game Spot review

    Thank you :D

  • I got all the trophies for this game :)

  • could someone please help me out and send me one of the mass effect 2 dlc (Collectors' Weapon and Armor

    Inferno Armor

    Terminus Armor & Weapon Blood Dragon Armor (Dragon Age: Origins) please send the code via a private message or xbox live GT:cmmholden Thanks!

  • the game is too fucking hard. all my characters die on every fight except for morrigan who i then use to finish off the enemies with her ice attack. how do i get better?

  • @IrishGodThe4th try lowering the difficulty, iff that doesnt work stop playing it

  • ill do that

  • Balance your party. Bring a tank character (ideally a warrior with a shield, or a two-hander on easy), at least one mage, with a healing spell or two; learning cone of cold is a good thing. The rest is pretty much up to you. You can also turn the difficulty up and down at any time, so if you feel it's too hard, try turning it down a notch. Also, potions are there to be used, get herbalism on a character, this will help you quite a lot in the long run.

  • thank you very much. i will follow this advice

  • so realy its kinda like wow if it is im defo getting cuz im a wow addict but i quit

  • Watch my Gears of war 2 montage video, its great, and its short.

  • what the hell is up with the intro, thought i was about to watch some hip hop documentary

  • i think i just came

    i love these games

    any thing like champions of norath ?

  • 0:30 if you want to skip the intro

  • GREAT game..terrible review..

  • @GiraffeHippoLion why do u say that?

  • wats the name of the track at the begining?

  • It's his own song

  • PC version is so much better

  • very good review my friend. i will be purchasing this game for my pc soon!

  • lol at how his mage has like six injuries

  • @ZimM804 thats nothing i had like 15 on one of my guys in a middle of a boss battle...and WON.

  • how did u get that golem charecter in your party?mod or addon?

  • @kk2170 It's an official addon. The character's name is Shale.

  • It's DLC - The Stone Prisoner

  • dude this review rocks well done m8 and kudos

  • I was wondering if this game was sort of like Oblivion, in the sense that you get a main quest to do but after that you are free to explore the world getting side quests. Or has this got more of a focus on the main story?

  • ahh good perfect game exactly what im looking for, im REALLY into all the medevil stuff, and its english, not saying i dont liek other country games, but im english and i havnt really seen many english game lolz and cheerz for the happy bday:)

  • so is this game kinda like, do what you want when you want (aka) oblivion or not?im getting it for my birthday tomoz, so im just curious

  • @theholyemo yes it kinda is, but i reckon this game is much more better, story wise and gameplay wise. p.s happy birthday for tomoz :)

  • at 3:21 watch duncan swords on his back and you will see that they change when they are in ogres body

  • haha nice intro music

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry didn't mean hot key, meant like on pc when it's displayed all at the bottom. I don't play PC much so forgot the name of what you'd call that.

  • Oh, like a taskbar connected to the keyboard?

    Then yeah, that would be impossible.

  • Yep that's it. Sorry my bad I suck at PC things, haha.

  • @UltimateChance lolz at 3:25 that dude is the badassness

  • @UltimateChance there are hotkeys for pc. numbers 1-0.

  • @UltimateChance It's called action bar...But still you are the reviewer,you should know it :P

  • @UltimateChance could i ask how much a hd pvr or costs or wat u use for console rec ????? plese 

  • @UltimateChance WTF who doesnt like sex lolz u shouldv said its like d&d

  • @wowspy

    He used the terms when he was referring to the PC version, and then made a claim that they were "impossible" for the 360/PS3 version.

    With that evidence, I made my comment. I just didn't want people to NOT buy the game because he pretty much said the control were annoying when it wasn't true.

    I can say whatever I want to say, as long as I'm respectfully about it, 'kay? :]

  • DAO is good but has shitty combat and no coop

  • do i actually get to hacknslash in the console version or is it the same strategy game as on the pc?

  • huh i never get stuck

  • usually i wouldnt listen to a review from some1 like this but it was an amazing review, thank you and good job... its entertaining at some points cuz u say some funny shit. anyways i bought the game online, coming in the mail in 2 days... ty

  • im sorry i realy knocked this game on its graphics its trying to be realistic yet kinda cartooned which i didnt like then i started playing it the story line is just amasing and gameplay is amasing once you get past what you dont like about the game and play it you will love it!

  • actually they do use there abilities they don't just swing there sword you have to put there abilites out on the little action bar thing they have so they can use them.

  • This or demon souls?

  • demon's souls is fun, but has no story.

    if u want to get involved in the story of the game ur playing, i wuld suggest this, but gameplay wise, i cant tell ya. i haven't played DAO. But i hear the story is great, and the story in DS sucks, plus its hard as hell. which i kind of like, but idk. ur choice.

  • Great review. You said quite a mouthful, but it was all very entertaining and informative. Keep up the great reviews!:)

  • after playing like 10 i must say this game is one of the best RPGs i have ever played, due to great story(im medieval junkie), voice(you feel as if all those chars and the game itself are real, on other words, youre GONE), graphics is nice, not top notch but nice, after all graphics isnt everything, another good attribute of the game is AI, funny that when youre casting tempest a mob will run up and bash you interrupting xD

    story 20/10

    gameplay 10/10

    graphics 8/10

    music 9/10

    overall 9.5/10

  • Great game. Trying to play on hard with a healer atm, proving tough.

  • dude, im experienced rpg player (played more than 20 rpgs) and on normal i get out barely alive out of each battle, this game is really hard and makes you think and plan tactics, your main char is the healer? i picked a mage but honestly i think ill reroll a ranged rogue or dualwield warrior, altho having a mage in the team is awesome, what level are you atm? im around 15

  • do u gotta play in a group? id be ok like if i was playing with 4 of my friends but with AI or myself eh....

  • Trust me it's great, you can issue tactics for each specific character so when you're not controlling them, they'll do certain actions under different situations.

    For example, you can set it so if you've got a mage who's good at healing, every time a member of your party's health is under 50 percent, they'll be healed, long as you're not controlling that character.

    It's really well done.

  • the AI is proving very good in my favour atm

  • Its ok i just dont like getting overwhelmed. getting 7 or 8 and my group attacking 1 or 2 at once and then they die then i get another group. I like the ame i like the mosnters. Just I cam from oblivion style to you need to control a group. And also what the biggest disappointment is its not as open world as oblivion yes you have to load in and outside of a city. but you can wander almost ever where. in this game you cant really.

  • @kittenclaws187 It means you have a spell activate all the time. On PC look down in the bottom right, there should be a graphic in a green box, highlight with the mouse and it will tell you. Also, you can go into your tactics and see what is listed under 'Self - Any'.

  • 4:06 Cone of Cold is the name of that move...Which is the same name of the move a mage uses in World of Warcraft. Convenient? I think not....Anyways. I played this game, and out of honesty I think it got pretty boring pretty fast.

  • Well, not really. Cone of Cold is also a Level 5 Mage Spell from Bioware's excellent Baldur's Gate series, which was made well before WoW came out.

  • @Foobarmovies Cone of Cold is much, much older than WoW. Not sure if that's what you were getting at.

  • Oh no they used a name off of "WoW", what is the big deal? That is like saying you cant add a attack called Fire Blast in a new game because it was used already.

  • ya i know it just stinks for me.

  • PCs are just better than consoles.

  • whyd they have to make the pc version better? no one plays the pc as much as 360/ps3

  • Because the consoles cant handle what a well tuned pc can, thats not fanboyism, its just fact.

  • just started playing as a mage character. does anyone know why dust is always falling from the character ? can you stop this. what does it mean ?

  • What's the rap song in the beginning on the review?

  • shit is what it is

    heyo i jest good review

  • twice as good on the PC

  • That's because PC gamers rarely buy their games from gamestop. lol

  • I DONT KNOW ANY1 WHO PLAYS THE PC I NEVER SEE ANY1 COME IN Gamestop and go to the pc side and buy a pc game

  • without spoiling anything(please!!), can you play past the ending?

  • No you cant, you can only play dlc afterwards.

  • so you can bring a dead character(im just assuming) back to ferelden?

  • @IrishGodThe4th nope, but after they come out with the expansion pack you can import your character, dead or alive

  • lol 2-3 hours of the origin intro its only about 45 minutes

  • if you rush yes but even in the intro there side quests an the mage origin is the longest with some struggles in the fade.

  • The graphics are shit compared to the PC version - if you going to play the game, get the PC version

  • yeah, "compared to the PC version" but trust me - if this is your kind of game than get it. There aren't a lot of Bolder's Gate style games, and even the Xbox vision is great.

  • no1 plays the pc its all about the game systems

  • you couldn't be more wrong. The PC still got quite the player base.

  • I would have to disagree.Most PC gamers get screwed b/c we have DX10 & 11 but stuck with DX9 games thanks to junk out of date consoles like PS3 or 360 so the consoles are actually taking us backwards b/c their so outdated.

  • No one cares, go cry somewhere else.

  • @DragonAge1103 shut ur fucking mouth lil bitch go get some pussy or sumthin and quit winning

  • lol whats the song at the start?

    "The white show?"

  • ooo because the whity show the whity show the wh hi hi hity show lol

  • the voice acting is good but not as good as mass effect, or gta 4 . Awesome game though.

  • breathe man, breathe

  • thinking about getting this

    i would prefer assassins creed 2 and borderlands first though

  • man borderland sucks but AC2 is fuckin amazing, I just ordered this one for $35 frm Amazon.

  • borderlands is amazing

  • i love lustrious sext violence ill b buying this

  • i might get this on black friday for my ps3.

    is the control easy to use? that is the only thing i worry about.

    best buy is selling this game for $35. good deal i think =)

  • is the sex in this game bad?

  • yes.
