Dragon Age: Origins is meant for PC, not consoles
-
I was really impressed, again, by yet another game – Dragon Age: Origins. I thought this might be the game for me while I eagerly wait for Final Fantasy 13′s release. But sadly after watching this trailer, which I’m guessing its played on a console, lead me down.
Its not because its got bad graphics or anything. Its the way you fight your battles, which leads to how enjoyable the game play is. I was really, I mean really, annoyed by the fact that you have to pause the game, we are talking about in the middle of battles, in order to assign orders to your party members without getting hit, unless you can micro-manage in real time then that’s a no issue for you. I don’t see how I can enjoy this game when I have to pause every few seconds. I am only speaking for myself because obviously based on some of the comments, some people do not seem to be bothered by this pause-effect. This might not be exactly the same but think of it this way, do you like to watch a movie that pauses every 10 seconds? All of a sudden in the middle of a great battle, the movie pauses, no music, animation just freezes. Will you enjoy that?
So to me this game is really meant to be played on a PC, then again my PC isn’t probably powerful enough to handle this so that means a no-go for me unfortunately. Guess I have to get Modern Warfare 2, which is a completely different game genre while I wait for Final Fantasy 13 to come out.

Actually you can set tactics for each party member, which is similar to the gambits in FFXII, so that they can be independant during a fight

That’s pretty good actually, just that the trailers showing how you have to pause to set (new?) commands to your party members was pretty annoying. At least its not for me.

i enjoy the real time battle tactics. i think it offers a more strategic type of gameplay, which if you read the reviews, is what they were going for. and to compare it to a movie is just ignorant. it is a game, not a movie. you cant expect the same things from both.

pausing the game and employing the tactics is a real joy in this game, the same as the console me2. using kbm and pointing and clicking is so eighties, i had it on my pc which was very powerful, and turned it off after ten minutes as the pointing and clicking is just so pathetic.power wheel for the win every time.
