  • TOGETHER WE STAND, AGAINST THE BLIGHT...... of Mike Laidlaw!

  • He couldn't even bother to take a shower and put on a clean sweater. You're on video, brah!

  • Mike Laidlaw hahaha!?!? oh you silly man..

    ...wait

    areyoufuckingkiddingme.jpg

  • And then it sucked, the end

  • I stopped playing DA2 because I couldn't find the main story =/

  • I'm sad I don't know all of you. But, since I don't know many gamers, it's wonderful to unite in hatred against this piece of shit, lying, asshole.

  • I highly enjoyed Dragon Age 2. I don't understand all the hate. Sure, it was different from Origins, but that's what Bioware was going for. "I'm not calling you a liar."

  • This nigga is such a bitch. Ruined Dragon Age.

  • "when we're done with dragon age 2, things are going to have changed."

  • 2:05

    You tell us what Hawke was like, and by you I mean this dialogue wheel with vague choices that all seem to have tone that you don't want. You will always have a protagonist that makes derpy, snarky quips that you can't control. Hawke will always be "Hawk", but what side of the bed he woke up on today YOU choose.

  • POS

  • when u press the awesome button the game doesnt change to the witcher 2 :(

  • Xbox Dragon age 2 copies sold 766,225

  • OH COOKIES!!! :DDDD

  • Storyline just got raped and whos idea to put all game in 1 city? WHAT THE FUCK!?

    Dude i loved morrigan and the bitchslap mod, WHAT? no campsite thats just sucks ffs i spend half the gametime in the camp lol :D

    I playd this game truout like 10 times :D

    Dragon Age Origins ftw best game ever made and thanks to all that keep adding mod whits just make the game more replayable <3

  • "we tried something new: we tried to see if we could bank on the reputation of the last game and get people to buy it without doing much work this time"

  • So that's what a person looks like when he lies... -_-

  • "Stop bitching people", and then you go and bitch. You are part of the problem. Face it, they took DA2 into a new direction... a wrong direction and now they can either face up to it or keep pretending critisims about their gift from god game doesn't exist. MAN UP!

  • @sidmier1127 I think you're confused about what "manning up" is. Hint: It doesn't involve video games, ever.

  • What's up with all the negative comments? DA2 was awesome! I don't get why DA2 is getting all this hate? What's so incredibly horrible about DA2? :|

  • Comment removed

  • @Sapphire1992 well did you play origins?

  • @vashfrosamurai I did actually. Admittedly, it's maybe because I did play DA2 first that I didn't have any expectations for it. And I do love that you can choose your own Origin in the first game and all that but I also like the time progression thing in DA2.

    Bottom line is I think that they're both good games and sometimes, I feel like it's unfair because it seems that people are judging DA2 on DAO's standards when it seems that the games are focusing on different aspects.

  • @Sapphire1992 it was a significant drop in quality for da2. dao's story and world was epic and never recycled, however da2 had one city and recycled areas which is unacceptable. dao had i think 5 cities and about 100 areas?

  • Overly pretentious, self-aggrandizing, poor imagination, greed, repeating itself, still trying to copy movies tricks, having guys talking too much bullshit and saying nothing at all, taking you for idiots: The gaming industry is on the way to the shithouse.

  • After listening to this, DA:II sounds less stupid but more sad. He's saying that this piece of shit game was just a side story which some other sad sad person would have to solve. So if something bad happens in DA:3, we know Hawke was the one who fucked it up.

    And what the hell does he mean about us liking the interactions? Anyone familiar with how origins played out, knows that this crap is worse. What they thought was that "We should rush the game and turn it into a story telling game!" Bitch

  • i hope bioware going to fire this peace of shit. fagot. i cant liston to this asshole anymore. i hope hawk going to fuck ur face asshole.

  • Fire Mike Laidlaw the fucker forgot who hes making the game for the fans not EA stupid sellout

  • 4:00 notice that song in the background! If someone could tell me what it's called would really appreciate it!

  • I just knew this guy was full of shit when he was talking about DA 2 before it came out. He just seemed like a used car salesman with a tacky clip on tie. I never trusted a word that he said.

  • @Macca1969 me too man. he is just another fad ass bitch who wants to sell shit do us custumers.

  • bring back brent knowles BIOWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was a buttenawesome Spartan-ninja general in Dragon Age 2.... LOL JK I was an insignificant errand boy who did basically nothing in a boring city with one warehouse and a cave.

  • Comment removed

  • Improvement is Force Mage... the rest is seriously depressing.

    This isn't the Bioware I love....

  • @999darkwolf

    Force Mage was a total ripoff of Star Wars force moves.

  • *reads bottom comments*

    I assume we're representing the best of PC gaming? ;P

  • This dude sucks dicktits.. "storytelling technics" = be the errand boy in a shitty ass city and keep farming recycled caves all over..

    also wtf Im not again gay people.. but common this game is way to gay.

  • Comment removed

  • one thing i dislike is the difficulty to aim on the enemy in combat.I know you can pause it,but it's not the same.

  • Brent Knowles > Mike Laidlaw

    True Story

  • he should say hi im mike laidlaw the son of a bitch who ruined dragon age and lie to the fans of origins.

  • @1oktay1 dude all im saying is that some ppl like the game some dont no need to freak out

  • i love how he kept lying us all the time, seven years doesnt equal decade you asshole!!!

  • So this is the face behind the flop that is dragon age 2.

  • Nothing in this game indicate that everything takes place more than 2 years. The timeskips could be easily within weeks or months. The characters and plot were so shallow and non-interactive that I did not know them as well as my DAO companion in a supposedly shorter time period. I can just go over DAO "yep the whole thing took 20 years". Combat pacing is preference but its clear they did not do proper testing with it since so many of its aspects were broken: kiting, FF and enemy from thin air

  • Mike Laidlaw can suck a dick. He ruined DRAGON AGE. FUCK YOU!!!

  • one thing that sucks about dragon age 2 is that when i tell isabella to go around someones back and stab em they are already dead by the time she gets there

  • Also he's outright lying in the first 20 seconds of the video, it's 7 years not 10. As the end of act 3, the last part of the game, is the 7th year. I don't count 3 year skip and more talking from Varric as part of a 10 year timespan when it explains nothing.

  • I can see Laidlaw is doing wonders for making sure Bioware has such great PR with their fanbase!

  • We have a scapegoat gents, burn him.

  • Mike Laidlaw is an ABOMINATION!

    Thanks for churning out a subpar sequel to DAO, you douche.

  • Laidlaw you ruined the franchise!

    Instead of listening to your fans you listened the people who dont know shit about RPGs and some 12 yrs old kids who cant play them. And i heard many times you will be able to import decisions?! Realy? I only saw difference who did you choose as king in the Origins. What happened: with elfes/ werewolfes, anvil of the void, fate of Orzammar... I am hoping Mass Effect 3 will be good but if you fuc up there aswell Bioware i will never support you agian.

  • @Chester1004 well let's see the elves and werewolves comes in during a dispute on the wounded coast between one of the ex werewolves and some elves. I don't remember anything from the other 2, but who's to say they won't have an impact on Dragon Age 3 or some DLC for 2.

  • @jeff30458

    A little small sidequest that doesnt even matter if you complete it or not.

  • Bioware, fire this ugly creature. He did his best to fuck up DA2.

    FUCK YOU Mike Streamlaw!

  • FUCK YOU Laidlaw.

  • Not even Obamacare could save this game.

    Lack of detail, bad story telling, restrictive gameplay

  • You press a button and something cool happens? Yeah - when I uninstall a game something cool happens indeed.

  • Just keep him away from future dragon age products, or simply gaming altogether.

  • mike laidlaw sucks Archdemons cock!

  • fucking annoying voice

  • what the fuck with his hissing at every 's' sound? 

  • There is nothing "new" or "original" in DA2. On the contrary. It's a major step backwards to the very old, ancient even, tired mould of moving a creature along a track, fight the baddies, collect the pink jewels, whittle down a boss, progress to next section, all repeats. They've removed all advanced or complex interaction, removed choice, removed immersion... All that is left is combat for damaged kids.

  • Dear Mike, WHY THE HELL CAN'T I USE THE FUCK BADASS HAND SPELLING THING LIKE THE TRAILER?!

  • lamelaw is a bitch who couldn't design his way out of a room with 4 doors. Yea he definitely left us with a feeling that "shit changed" thanks bro.

  • Cunt! Dragon Age: Origins was amazing, and you fucked it up!

  • Cunt! Dragon Age: Origins was amazing, and you fucked it up! eiogg

  • ''We wanted to do something new, something original''

    When?

  • decade of history? only 7 years in my playthroughs.

    fuckin lier!

  • So one of my all time favorite games is ruined by this asshole .... eat shit and die nooblaw

  • mike laidlaw u son of a bitch. u fucked up dragon age asshole.

  • @1oktay1 dragon age 2 was a great game. the combat and story and characters were awesome. but they should have looked at it at an even bigger scale. like instead of champion of kirkwall he should have been champion of the free marches, and instead of only 1 crappy city there should been at least half a dozen, and a bunch of caves and forests to explore

  • @MrMurther no it wasnt a great game it was a rushed piece of shit. the combat story were like shit. origins is way better than this trash

  • @1oktay it was my opinion. i wasnt asking yours

  • @1oktay1 think you can do better? then by all means go ahead

  • @Showu99able ur defending this peace of shit??? man fuck urself

  • ''We wanted to do something new, something original''

    No you gangbangers, you wanted something easy and fast to raise your money !

  • The Dragon Age franchise is ruined. Well done Bioware ruining an excellent series by streamlining it to shit.

  • "So I think Origins players will find themselves right at home."

    Oops.

  • I Like The New Battle System The Game In General Wasn't Bad But I Din't Like The Way The Quest Were Done Not Stream lined like In DAO and the Fact that I Would Loot A chest then Get A Quest Update was Bull and the dubgeons could have been better but good game overall

  • mike laidlaw talks shit!!! i hope he is happy with dragon age 2. he fucked up the whole game. fucking asshole!!!

  • dragon age origins was WAY better..

  • To people getting pissed at the battle system: I find the new system rather convenient due to it being at a much faster pace with the fact that it's much more active. I love how they let mages be melee while using their element move at close range. Plus the fact that they made combos for classes that end in a big hit. The new skills are great and some of them aren't new that people still like. Overall I find the new system great for people who didn't like the slowness of the first Dragon Age.

  • DA2 wasent shit i like the new battle ''system'' tho u cant compare it to DA:O

  • Dragon Age Origins was epic, i finished Dragon Age 2 and the story seems to be a shit, and sorry, I expected more from this game...

    don't kill me if you don't think like me...

  • this gaylord fucked dragon age franchise with dragon age 2

  • wtf any one see the witch of the wilds shes way differnt now like wtf why do they make some of the old people look so new lol

  • The new game seems not to bad from Origins or different. The conversing is easier/fun and the gameplay is smoother. I do miss Morggian and Aliastir.

  • @AwesomeFinder2 u can see alistair again i hear briefly if you either import a save where he's king, or choose the backstory of him on the throne if you don't import from origins, morrigan though, not happening i think

  • @Behemoth45621 it actually depends on how u play origins flemeth is alive and well in my story I chose to take her book and lie to morrigain about killing flemeth and alister loved the ideal of lying to morrigain he actually jokes (lie to morrigain that not right oh who am I kidding I love the ideal does that make me a bad boy) it depends on u and bioware is doing partly with dragon age 2 like they did with mass effect 2 u can transfer origins date in and the ferelden u molded will be the one

  • I am looking forward to DA2 to view the story we created in another outlook. RPG games are my favorite especially when they have a good storyline.

  • i think hawke was chosen by flemeth for something great...at least thats what i think, considering thats HER dragon form in blood behind hawke at the end.

  • @MrTheguywithalife she probably wants to use him lie the warden in origins

  • I hope we don't die at the end of this game..I mean he says who WAS hawk. Not who is. I know that you can die at the end of dragon age origins, but you had a choice in that. I always choose to live...I didn't do all this shit to have just died in the end.

  • @StarbucksAwesome they say was because the game progress is told as a story like people are talking about the past

  • @StarbucksAwesome But Hawke is gone at the moment, and she needs to find him. And I think that in the end makes the different if he is found or not.

  • @StarbucksAwesome If I die, I'll break my laptop and start crying.

  • they screwed up the darkspawn. i like the Origins darkspawn better.

  • @RATP01 They weren't aiming for darkspawn since the Blight had ended. they focused on a bunch of other things in the game like Qunari. The Qunari look epic compared to Sten in the first Dragon Age. Overall, they made the enemies really well.

  • I will miss being a elve or dwarf but I did enjoy being human as well 

  • @94thejocker lol i've never played as a human in origins at least not yet lol.

  • he says your dragon age origins character affects the new world. and Flemeth is in the game.....what if you killed Flemeth? i understand that morrigan said she could come back....i take it she does.?

  • @warhero1020 In the witch hunt DLC, Morrigan tells you that Flemeth did not die.

  • @warhero1020 Flemethi did "die", however she helped hawke BEFORE Morrigan told the Warden to kill Flemeth

  • that u can only be a hunam in dragon age 2 kinda takes away somthing importan from it

  • @FireBirdy100 Maybe there will be a game devoted to playing as an elf or dwarf, or even qunari in the future. You never know ;)

  • im guessing Morrigans kid will be somewhere in this game....and that just amps me up more because i love it when HUGE stories intertwine in small aspects

  • I don't need no lore knowledge - "Blight bad, grey wardens good".

  • i jost love dragon age!

  • Dragon age Origins is one of my favorite games, so i just cant wait for the sequel.

  • Mike pretty much said everything I wanted to know about this game... But I sure hope that Dragon Age 2 will have a more open enviroment than that of Origins. In Origins there seemed to be just a dozen places you can go to and they felt sort of like tunnels.

  • I didn't played and finish the DR:O 37 times + all expansion pack's i want to see Morrigan with my character once again in this game.

  • OK i think that this guy in the game is Morrigan's child made with your's Grey Warden that will explain Flemeth....!!!!If it isn't so then this all game is a crap.

  • @LittleSerbianFriend

    Morrigan won't be Hawke's mom, but I think Morrigan's kid will be in this game anyway, though.

  • @onedOLlarDuDE Oh well i have thought that Hawke is better to be Morrigan son but if not at very least Morry is going to be there and i cant wait to kill Flemeth AGAIN in the next Dragon Age :)

  • @LittleSerbianFriend

    wrong, thats a qunari genral. Yes quanri have horns, sten dosent.

  • @sahadiablo I played a demo on a PS3 and i know that horny guy is Qunari general i was talking about Hawk.But the game is started at the time of blight in Ferelden and continues in 10 year's forward Morrigan is there cuz blight is over and she was gone as she told but we didn't know where up until now.In witch hunt she was gone for good but with my character and that place is not free marches.

  • ARE YOU ABLE TO CHANGE LOOK OF CHARACTER?

    OR CAN YOU ONLY CHOOSE GENDER?

    

  • the gameplay sucks:| quality is nice but not enough. ;) is my opinion.

  • The lesson of this video: "Blight= Bad; Grey Wardens=Good"

  • personally i dident kill flemeth in origins but if i did how can flemeth come up in dragon age 2?

  • @theswedishdude1

    She can just find another host for her spirit.

  • @theswedishdude1 because if you DID kill her, she DIDNT really DIE! she transforms into something else....it isnt shown what...but at the end of the Witch hunt its said and hinted that she is alive.

  • he talks about a demo, is there a demo out, or gameplay footage?

  • cant wait

  • Comment removed

  • @orrestrnden And what should I call Hawke if make Hawke a girl?

  • Something else..

  • @Mossfoot1220 the pc is called hawk no matter the gender

  • @Mossfoot1220 hawke is the lastname ;) you can name her/him whatever you like

  • @caroklp517 I know this.

  • Witch demo ther is no demo of Dragon age 2 on youtube as menchend in this video

  • i wonder how your char's decisions from the first game will affect the world in 2. hell, they didn't really affect the world in the first game. i didn't really matter who you sided with and who lived or died in quests(except for losing access to elfroots which was a pain). not to mention for the ps3 it ran like crap but it seems like that was the case for the 360 too.

  • @3000whateverman They.. didn't..? I'm incredibly mistaken, it seems.

  • Guys it`s nothing new that EA is god at Destroying perfect game series, take a look at C & C such a good game changed in such a big joke in my eyes but i hope bioware got enough to talk that it won`t happen the same disaster bad to through away so much potencial

  • My only request is to actually make the easy setting noobfriendly. I seriously suck at complicated/"Early 2000's" style RPG's :'( *Sob* I haven't bothered completing Origins because of this, even if it's such a magnificent game. :/ Maybe if there was an option making it more Mass Effect-ish in terms of gameplay, too much to ask for probably.

  • @Olemguy ? I tried it on casual and solo'd the archdemon without losing 40% health. Very noobfriendly :P Nightmare was hella fun.

  • @Olemguy Oh, I meant to mention I didn't use any tactics for any of characters, or traps, or any detailed strategies like that. So.. :P

  • @sethserigny Did you play it on console?

  • @Olemguy I did. But I also played it on PC for the experience, it was still pretty noobfriendly in my opinion.

  • @sethserigny Now that I think of it, the Darkspawn got a bit easy to kill near the first Ogre encounter. The Ogre however... D:

  • @Olemguy My gosh, same here. It took me ages to finish Origins and get the hang of it. I always have to play these kinds of games on easy, and I've only ever played it on normal as a mage (with all the extra healing spells, etc).

  • @Olemguy If you feel that way, why just don't download a trainer and make your character mega-über and just watch the story?

  • Bioware just keeps getting better and better at making awesome Action RPG's..... i would give them the title "king of Rpg's" if i could =D!!!

  • Anyone kind of confused as to what the game is actually like? It'll probably make more sense later, but I'm kind of confused about the story. It could be just me.

  • is it just me or that tanned girl who seem to be the ''main girl'' is as ugly as an hairy man ass.

  • This is a really good game, but I stopped playing it quite fast since fighting pissed me of (slow sword swinging, INSANELY fast health losing and that)...I'm a big fan of Bi0ware (finished Mass Effect 1/2, KotOR, Jade Empire) and this had great story, presentation, graphic and that, but I just couldn't find myself in it.

    Let's hope Bi0ware makes fighting look more realistic with more blood and finishing.

  • Dragon Age was a broken pile of trash on the Xbox, I hope they get a handle on the Xbox version.

  • I just hope it will have more freeroaming abillity!

  • Quite a quick release for a sequel, lol.

  • @yoparker78 not really, its been 2 years...

  • i remember when i first saw a dragon age trailer

    i thought it was some crappy underground RPG

    now i see how wrong i was

    and i'm glad about it =0

  • plz bioware dont put spiders in the starts of the game. or dont put them in anyway. you dont need to hear me its just a good idea

  • @pete5154 And i support his idea.

  • @MaxDorval :D thank you

  • 666 veiws :(

  • Easter Eggs please... :)

  • Who the hell is Hokk? I've played Dragon Age: Origins and I've never heard of this guy. (Sorry if I misspelled his name)

  • @RelentlessRedemption he's a new character for dragon age 2.

  • a couple of great games r coming out in the 1st quarter of 2011. still a long way to wait.

  • how did u have the option in the first to tell ur rogues to move around to the back of guys and attack from there

  • loved every bioware game i have played. this will be no exception.

  • cant wait for this game

  • BOOST THOSE GRAPHICS THIS TIME!!! There was no reason last time for old gen graphics, accept u guys(EA & Bioware)cheaped out & focused on the story and yes this is why I got Dragon Age Origins. But these day AND next yr 2011, I expect more out of a game. EA & Bioware have the money & tech to deliver on story & graphics, judging by the time frame "March2011"u guys r cheaping out on something & it probably graphics AGAIN!! I may spend my $70. on something else this time round if thats the case....

  • @07duncan17 who in the world cares about graphics? in origins the gameplay and the story was amazing. if you look at the trailer you can notice that the graphics have vastly improved. you remind me of fanboys who judge how good a game is by graphics.

  • @g5icleb because, this isn't the year 2003, its 2010. i live in edmonton and have been a fan of bioware for awhile buying their games. I bought dragon age orgins not even seeing what the gameplay was like. the game was awesome that you would be drawn into the game so far the you could care less about graphics. heck, my fav FF is FF7 and those graphics suck compared to dragon orgins. but they could seriously make the graphics better. even could bring up to par as MA2

  • @07duncan17 knowing Bioware,once they release their game. They started making a squeal. Planning,sketching,directing, its kinda interesting this time round..you're focusing entirely on a Blood Arcane Warrior..his life,his journey will he cross paths with old faces of DOA. An entirely new emeny,lesser dark spawns?
