yeah i dont have a problem with it having cut scenes.... just as long as they aren't 10 - 15 fucking minutes...i think they might as well just make a movie at that point...
Dragon Age 2 Packs 103 Minutes of Cutscenes
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
"Besides, 103 minutes is what, a long Metal Gear Solid cutscene?"
No, that's a short MGS cutscene

over one hundred minutes of cut-scenes for a long game? That can work as long as it's done well.
Not like MGS4 which had almost 100 minutes of gameplay tacked into a long cut-scene.

Star Ocean: the last hope.
Literally had 50min cutscenes towards the end, and after beating the 'final' boss you were treated to another three quarters of an hour of monologues wrapping up all the character's stories (kinda).
No wonder it came on 3 discs -_-

Oh, Xenosaga--especially Episode 1--has some of my favorite cutscenes ever!BehattedWanderer said:
As long as these cutscenes have epic battles in them like The Sacred Ashes trailer and that charge on Denerim, I'm all for them. I was actually surprised that Origins didn't have more of those. Disappointed too.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. DA:O had a great talent in cinematic previews that we didn't actually get to see any in-game footage of. I had kinda hoped some of the trailer footage would be around, but as a showcase, it did the job, I suppose.Sniper Team 4 said:
Though, if Hawke doesn't get that giant of a sword in DA2, I'll be severely disappointed.
Dragon Age 2: Guns of The Patriots.
No, I kid, I kid.
That actually sounds kind of reasonable, to tell you the truth. As long as this game isn't about corridors and loli's running around or something, it'll be fine.

As others have said, considering how long a playthrough of DA:O was, 103 minutes is a drop in the bucket. I have a feeling that once I've seen those 103 minutes I'm going to be wanting 103 more.
Knowing Bioware, I'm fairly certain that DA2 will be a bit longer than the 17 hours of gameplay you're clamoring for.canadamus_prime said:
It's important to remember that not only will this be spread over an insane amount of gameplay, DA is also definitely going to multiple cut-scenes for the same point in the game based on the choices you have made, and in some cases maybe even the characters you have with you. It's not that much at all.
It says that's the total run times of cutscenes "within the work" meaning the whole thing. so there will be less than that in each playthrough, even if it's not that much. Also, why would you count the conversation aspects? Both of those are interactive, and skippable.ravenshrike said:
It will definitely be much longer, and 103 minutes is the total amount of cutscenes in the games, and knowing Bioware, this means that the total won't be quite that high for a single play through.shado_temple said:
Maybe, but I think someone needs to go over and gently remind Bioware just what medium they're supposed to be working in; esp. since they're apparently bragging about having 103 minutes of frickin' cutscenes in their game.shado_temple said:
Two things about this that should still be noted I think.
1.) Chances are we'll see only 1/3 of those cutscenes in a *single* playthrough based on how they decided to stretch the story over 10 years and have different results and hence...different cutscenes...based on your decisions. That alone makes it a bit more tolerable for me.
2.) Are these interactive (as in you making dialogue choices) or non-interactive cutscenes? Important distinction as well.

You're aware of how little you will probably notice an hour of cutscenes stretched out over a 40-60 hour game, right? I don't even know why this is newsworthy, or why BioWare would announce it (unless they were directly asked). Metal Gear Solid 4 had about TEN hours of cutscenes, a gratuitous amount in my opinion.canadamus_prime said:
