Second Opinion: Dragon Age: Origins Review

4 Comments 14 November 2010

If you want the most bang for your buck while not playing multiplayer, Dragon Age: Origins can offer you this. About 10 hours in, I understood the thrust of the game: unite the races against the upcoming Blight: the undead assholes trying to annihilate the world. About 20 hours in, I understood there was a lot left to play. 30 hours in, I broke apartment to get some fresh air. At 37 hours and 32 minutes, I finally killed the damn mother dragon.

Dragon Age: Origins Mid-Game Thoughts

1 Comment 23 September 2010

Role playing games are not meant to be short. If they were, they wouldn’t be any fun because you wouldn’t get much sense of accomplishment after beating one. Without using any actual data, or empirical evidence to back up this coming sentence up, I would bet that the average RPG completion time from this current generation of gaming, and even the last one as well, sits lazily around 25 hours per game. Maybe even as low as 20 hours. Now while this is most definitely a post for another day (and ideally with some actual fucking research, and not Ron Burgundy’s, “It’s science”), I would have to give the credit to the rise of action/FPS RPGs, and development and publishing companies trending towards the more casual gamer. Well gentlemen (c’mon, like any females actually willingly read this site), Dragon Age: Origins is not meant for the casual gamer. Hit the link below for the detailage.

Dragon Age: Origins Initial Thoughts

1 Comment 21 September 2010

Ten years ago an up and coming Canadian (take off, eh!) development company released a sequel to what at the time, was a truly epic, fantasy role playing series called Baldur’s Gate. Hailed as one of the best role playing game series of all time by many, and THE best when it comes to the PC gaming industry, it proved that Bioware could make one helluva RPG, ultimately setting the stage for the onslaught of ridiculously stellar titles that we’ve seen since in KOTOR, Jade Empire, and most recently the Mass Effect series. Outside of Neverwinter Nights, it has been nearly a decade since Bioware has pumped out a new fantasy epic, and to get straight to the point, it was bloody worth it. No I am not British, and no I did not recently acquire a British accent; you’ll get my pun soon enough, lad. Okay that was an intentional Irish accent, sorry.

Second Opinion: Mass Effect 2 Review

No Comments 19 September 2010

Opinions are like assholes – everyone’s got one. Here at Glitchoris, we have two – literally and figuratively. Even with our ultra-selective game screening system, our reviews will ultimately cross paths from time to time in what we like to call “Second Opinions”. Mass Effect 2 gets to be the guinea pig. Tebo struck the Mass Effect 2 review gong first, which you can find here. Click the link below for a second take from this site’s other asshole. Figuratively, you douche.
