i havent been able to play it more then an hour at a time before getting bored. Who else feels this way? no one i kno has played it.
Dragon Age: Origins sucks....
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Are there other fantasy RPGs that you like? Maybe you just don't like that type of game in general. That being said, I love Origins.
" i havent been able to play it more then an hour at a time before getting bored. Who else feels this way? no one i kno has played it. "Why do you get bored? Why not provide examples instead of just saying " IT sucks"
I love Origins, too but perhaps you need more active games. Have you tried Elder Scrolls Oblivion? Then again, that's a very open world game and can leave you wondering what to do next. Maybe you should try The Witcher.
Was there a point to this post (other than bitching and flamebaiting)?
i usually play shooter war types so i was testing outside what i usually play... recommendations would be great.
Considering what you're coming from, I'd start with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as stated above. It's graphics are a bit dated but nothing too unbearable. It's fairly basic in terms of gameplay elements and is a great RPG.
I think Mass Effect might be a better fit for you. It plays pretty much like a third-person shooter with a choice-based storytelling structure similar to DA:O's latched on top. Unless you've already played it?" i usually play shooter war types so i was testing outside what i usually play... recommendations would be great. "
I agree with you OP. I love RPGs and I love Bioware...but Dragon Age Origins is boring as crap.
" @dilllweeddude: How did Fallout scare you that much? It can be very creepy at times if you go into the wrong places (DO NOT GO IN THAT SCHOOL I AM TELLING YOU, DON'T DO IT) but if you stick to the main story it shouldn't be too bad. Also, this is coming from someone who couldn't handle playing more than 30 minutes of Dead Space and couldn't handle Bioshock. If I can do it, anyone can. "Oh and here is a handy tip, keep spamming the VATS button! Seriously, if you do it once in while you can make sure nothing comes up and scares you.

" Im going to go by your profile picture and say its probably not your style, if it isn't clicking with you don't bother with it, just move on to something else. "all first person shooters are essentially a point and click adventure... just more reflexes less thinking.

I'm not hardcore into RPG's. I enjoyed the original but it didn't manage to hold my interest long enough for me to finish it. I liked the sequel better. Gameplay was a little more involved and the story was 10 times more interesting.
" I agree with you OP. I love RPGs and I love Bioware...but Dragon Age Origins is boring as crap.thank you! finally.Mainly for me it's the gameplay and artstyle. Everyone is way outta proportion."
" @behelit: im not only into mindless games... i just dont like wasting time with loooonnngggg pointless conversation.... like i play tomb raider.... it tht counts as a sort of logical game... "Its not pointless at all.
Ease up folks, no need to get nasty.
In addition to the two I already suggested and the above mentioned Fallout and Mass Effect games, you might want to look at Borderlands and Deus Ex. For the latter, you might want to wait for the newest sequel later this year since the original, while great, has some very dated graphics. Another possibility is something more "Zelda-like" such as Nier or Darksiders. Finally there is the loot-whore games like Diablo 2, Titanquest, Torchlight and Sacred 2.

VATS is the game mechanic in Fallout 3 and New Vegas which pauses the game and lets you aim for certain parts of the enemies button. By pressing it VATS will lock onto the nearest enemy is there is once so it helps out with not knowing what is close by. But I agree with @Skytylz: it is a very sad game. You know, come to think of it, Fallout 3 did scare me a lot but I still finished it because I loved it so much.. (one of my favourite games ever)" @NekuSakuraba: the anticipation gets to me. and i finished dead space and i have no clue how i managed tht....idk what the VATS button is... "
" @NekuSakuraba said:Haven't played New Vegas yet (still have it boxed up) but I don't get the hate on New Vegas, isn't it more Fallout 3? (and yes, that is a good thing)" @NekuSakuraba said:Vats sucked in Fallout New Vegas. "" @dilllweeddude: How did Fallout scare you that much?

If you don't want a traditional style rpg and want more action in your life, go for a Fable game. Fable two being the best I would start there.
I thought BlOps was enjoyable, yet Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite games." Sorry brah, but if you're into Bro Ops you don't have the mental capacity to play awesome rpgs. It's not a bash either - it's just the truth. Try another mindless FPS. "
And you guys like to think you're not the same as every other internet community out there. You're just as much a bunch of cunts as anyone else.
*mrs.
no need for you to be a unnecessary dick
So why not try and help to open their eyes to games that may bridge that gap and introduce them to different areas of gaming? They already said they played through Dead Space 2. That's a start." @ShaggE: that is true but mr weed dude here is just another casual cod gamer that only wants heavly scripted action games and does not like to read or listen to alot of story or cutscenes "
Looking at the achievements, they've also played a decent amount of:
Assassin's Creed
Fable II
Red Dead Redemption
So before you make your stupid fucking assumptions, get a clue. You want people to enjoy the games that you do? Being a complete fuckwit to anybody who doesn't fit in your little 'elite' group isn't the way to do it.
(Not you specifically.. the gaming community as a whole)
i dont play video games to read.... thats what books are for and i read books i just wanted to clear that up for the douches who like to think that if you enjoy reading in video games that makes you intelligent. it doesnt.
I doubt that arguing amongst yourselves is going to help the OP "see the light".
I personally had to stop playing it because it just felt very stiff and archaic compared to other games released at the time. Keep in mind I tried 3 seperate files and put about 10 hours into each, and ended up getting bored with each.
