I wish I was kidding....

And that is pretty desperate. Not gonna lie.

... hasn't Valve done exactly this same thing?

You know, with the Orange Box. Their most beloved project ever?

The game isn't bad.Most people bashing are disappointed overzealous fanboys or people who have never played the game.Like previously stated grow up.The game is good it's just not the better than sex virtual reality you all expected.

I fully agree there.It's not as good as Dragon Age Origins but I prefer that style but Dragon Age 2 is still fun but has it's problem.If you are not sure about it then download the demo and try it out first

Actually the demo features the first bit of the game where you run from the darkspawn right?That might be the worst that the game has to offer and I was thinking "damn what have they done" but then it gets amazingly better.

Aye you may have a point.I actually never played the demo.I downloaded it but never got around to playing it before the wife bought it but I didn't mind the opening.I think playing the demo would give one the idea of how the game plays at least

Btw, does anyone know how to embed a video into the post? Thanks

Dear god, hyping up a future game (ME3) is not trying to sell DA2.

You DO know that DA2 is going past expectations selling wise right?

On top of that why would you buy DA2 JUST to get ME2 for the PC? Horrible logic.

Its just a cool little prize, i have ME on the xbox and was always to lazy to get the PC version but now i get it for free, complain all you want but I got a free game out of the deal.

Go whine some more

Can I get Mass Effect 2 for free by itself please? I have no interest in Dragon Age; it's a thoroughly average series trying to sell itself on self-generated controversy.

DA Developer 1: How are we going to sell this boring and derivative action RPG?
DA Developer 2: I know! Let's put in a homosexual subplot and leak news of this early to generate buzz and controversy!
DA Developer 1: Excellent!

....Horrible fail.

Bioware has had gay romances for a few games now.

Fail point is fail

Is the game doing this badly?

Damn, I knew I wouldn't want to play it but I didn't think it would do badly.

It sold more, faster than Origins. I read on X360A.org that they're doing this to celebrate the fact that the game broke 1 million sales in less than two weeks, selling much faster than Origins, apparently.

For my own take on the matter: I think now that ME2 has been out for over a year, most people would already have it. I for one, bought it on release day on the 360 because that is what I have ME1 for and my PC is nowhere near capable of playing ME2 so this is ultimately useless to me. If I really wanted to take advantage of this I would need to buy ME1 for the PC as well or use a save game editor, on top of buying a higher end PC. I would rather get Origins for the PC so I could download mods and stuff when I get a better computer down the road. Anyway, I am taking advantage of this and downloading it now and putting on an external harddrive until I get a nice PC.
