But to be fair, that is offline only which is much easier for developers to get right. Having said that, I don't know what platform you are on, but Dragon Age is also not without it's problems (on PS3):

Bugs Aplenty: My time with the PlayStation 3 version of Dragon Age was not without troubles. In fact, my 40 or so hours in the game were plagued with annoying little glitches that, while not breaking the game completely, did hamper the experience. Some special combat animations were way off, with my character performing finishing blows in the air next to the boss I had just downed. Sound glitched frequently, leaving me watching a character's lips move while no words came. On a few occasions the screen would glitch when a character was speaking, showing broken geometry instead of the person talking. I also had issues with monsters dying and taking up to 30 seconds to register as dead, making me have to wait to loot bodies and in some cases delaying the completion of certain quests.

Perhaps the biggest bug I encountered was during the final battle, when I simply could not progress. BioWare suggested it was due to a monster I needed to kill falling through the world. I wound up having to load a previous save in order to complete the game. Luckily the game had autosaved just before the battle started, but it was definitely more frustration than I needed.

Chugga Chugga Frame Rate: Dragon Age is a pretty game, but when it really starts moving, things get ugly. With only a couple of characters on the screen things aren't too bad, leaning towards the high 20's frame rate-wise, but when you're in a big battle or a crowd scene, things dip into the middle to high teens. Mind you I am guestimating here...it's not like I have some magical PS3 FPS tool, but the dip is definitely noticeable.

Sound familiar? People just choose to hate on IL2 (and Dragon Rising) more simply because they had higher expectations, not because the game is any more broken than other games.

(And there's plenty more for Dragon Age.)

hmm well on 360 i havnt experianced any of those problems
as for framerates i cant comment as so far ive only been in small scale battles

not had a single glitch yet

as for the bodys taking ages to register i think i might have the solution i thought the same but then i realised that if you loot the first body that you killed then it lets you loot the next etc i dont know why but it does

and i guess your right about the offline comment

yea i had high expectations for dragon rising for sure i mean me and house even defended the game to death on this forum against an onslaught of cod fanboys witch hurt even more when you finialy get the game and find out that you have been lied to
ie: no freeroam
no hop into a vehicle like you were led to belive yea for sure there were vehicles but they were few and far between apart from hummers and chinese jeeps

multiplayer was good at first but you soon discover the flaws i mean the first game online i played the mission where you are the chinese in the back of the truck i jumped out with my squad and the truck drives off and there hanging in the air was a nice neat double line of rifles floating in the air MATRIX style ???

then there is the multiplayer issue of bullit sponges i unloaded my entire ammo load into an enermy soldier to no avail thats five reloads and full mags to the head i mean the guy would be like swiss cheese lol
so yea i was a bit dissapointed to say the least :-P


anyway ive traded in il2 so it no longer is getting on me nerves waiting for the patch so it dont bother me anymore
but i will still come on here to talk to the great guys ive met and played with i just wont be bashing the game ,devs ,publishers etc anymore i mean there would be no point i dont even own the game anymore

also if the [patch does come and the multiplayer experiance is raised from the dead (360 ver.) i might go and buy a secondhand copy :grin:




just checked that thread you posted and that is for dragon age pc version ?? did that come out before the console versions ?? they might of had time to fix the bugs before releasing on consoles?
anyway im gonna do a review once ive compleated the storyline im doing for house and if there are any bugs clitches etc i will tell you guys it will be a honest review

Selling a game for a third of what you paid for it and then buying a used copy for twice what you sold it for is less annoying than just not playing it until the patch comes? Okay then...

LOL, I'm heading there now. I saw my friend beat her though, and it looked hard as hell. Try using a Ranger/Mage.

But trust me, that's one of the easier bosses... Have you done "Sacred Ashes" yet?
