I've been playing this and let me say it is spectacular. I even joined up with my brother and we beat our first dungeon. I will say that the game is a bit difficult starting out because monsters are very strong when you are a low level, but once you get to about level 4, the game really starts to pick up and become very fun. I am currently level 5 and having a lot of fun traveling around the MASSIVE world. It took me and my brother almost 2 hours to travel from one town to the next. That might sound a little harsh but for some reason, traveling in the game is the best part.

I was luckly enough to buy it right before they disabled the shop.

Just a little tip. If you have multiple computers (like mwah), your characters are tied to your computer, not your account.

Just made it to level 17 on my Rogue! This game is so much fun. Whenever you guys get it, make sure to tell me. I really want to play it with a large group of people.

Dragon Age 2 got a bad rap, I think, because most people wanted a more polished Dragon Age: Origins. The combat in DA:O was frustrating, and the AI not as intelligent as you'd like it to be, but the character building and varied story arcs made it rich and inviting. The fans seemed to take offense that this richness was left behind in favor of a more action-oriented, linear game. DA 2 actually reviewed well with the media, probably because, objectively, it's a pretty good game. The fact that it feels nothing like DA:O, and shows little association with the original characters, makes it feel like less of a sequel, and more like a smaller sub-story, like Dark Fury in the Riddick series, or Halo 3:ODST. Bioware/EA set the fans up by putting that number "2" in the name, which everyone hopes will mean "more of the same, and better." In this case it meant "This is not the sequel you were looking for, but it's still a good game on it's own merit. We probably should have named it something else." It might not have sold as well, but the expectation would have been more realistic. Regarding DA: Inquisition, until we see gameplay, the best I can say is that it's really cool to see Morrigan again. Her story is a big part of what I loved about the first game, so my hope is for some resolution there. The title seems to imply a dark conflict elicited by some schism between the Chantry, or the Templar Order, and the Circle of Magi. I just hope it brings back that richness from Origins. At the very least, with Frostbite 3, it should be gorgeous to look at.

The Wii is probably the only system I got at launch. I enjoyed it! Sadly, it probably hasn't seen enough gameplay. I did get some of the Mario games, and definitely the Zelda games. I enjoyed that it was backwards compatible in various ways. I do have the SNES-like controller accessory. Actually, it was using this that I first played Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. I later bought the After Years for the PSP, but I know I spent more time playing that game on my Wii. I loved the Zelda games created for the Wii, although in hindsight, I felt like the graphics for Twilight Princess were disappointing, but I still enjoyed the game. I did get Skyward Sword and am glad that it came with a Wii MotionPlus controller, which I still use as my primary controller. I have since "hacked" my Wii and have Homebrew on it, but I haven't spent much time with that application.
