    @isaac LNX

    Your core specs are plenty capable of handling this game, but your graphics card is going to hold you back. As Humorguy basic said. You'll probably be forced to play on low settings. I'd definately recommend upgrading your graphics card.

    @Humorguy basic

    The game completion rate is not determined by percentage of story line nor percentage of side quests completed, but rather your achievements. I found this out after completing the game and all side quests, but still only didn't show full completion. It's actually the percentage of achievements completed. If you bought a DLC just before your percentage completed dropped, then that would make sense as it would add new achievements to the list. I'm currently sitting at 62% completion.

    Wouldn't trust the game completed percentage or hours played feature. I added another 5 hours of gameplay and went from 17% completed to 16% and from somewhere over 50 hours played to 70 hours played!

    @issac_LNX, it will, but because of the card, you will probably have to play at the lowest settings.

    Will it work in this system:
    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40GHz, 3.00GB of RAM
    And GeForce 7300 LE...
    I Really want to play this game! Because the gameplay is similar to the KOTOR series... And because the theme and storyline that looks like The Elder Scrolls Series and Lord of the Ring series!
    Please someone, will it work in my PC!?

    @bignick, well stated as usuall my friend. I allways enjoy "debating" with you.
    Why oh why isnt Splinter Cell Conviction coming to Ps3?? I want that game sooo bad.
    Oh well, back to Demon's Souls

    @PT FRANK, As I mentioned below, I won't presume to overstep my bounds by calling dragon age GOTY. I haven't played every game out this year, but I would contend that DAO has a shot at it. As for Demon's Souls. I haven't played it. Nor am I going to as I don't own a PS3. I'm a PC gamer to the core and that's not going to change anytime in the near future. So if it will make you feel better, then I will further refine my previous statement by saying that I think that at the very least, DAO has a real shot at getting RPG of the year for the "PC" platform. Fair enough?

    As for Assassins Creed 2. While I do have it pre-ordered for the moment. I have serious reservations on how good that game "might" be. I just don't know how they are going to shake up the gameplay to keep it interesting. AC1 was good in it's own right. But they are going to have to do more than just change the setting and story. As for COD MW2. It's not really my kind of game. I'm not much of an online player, and FPS with no purpose to drive me to keep playing tend to get very boring too quickly for me. The 2 other main games I am looking forward to at the moment are Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction. R.U.S.E. Looks good as well. and I might look into Bioshock 2. But all of those don't get released until next year.

    @Zuljin11, you said it best bud, lack of co-op is a good thing. Im tired of everything being co-op and multi-player. I see enough jerks all day at work and people on the street. I want to get away when I play my rpg's.

    @bignick217, you have had alot good comments. But like every prize fight there are two contenders. I believe Demon's Souls is not only GoTY, but RPG of the year.

    EA's Dragon Age is good, real good. But like Oblivion/Fallout 3. They were same game just diffrent settings. Though both Oblivion/Fallout 3 were derserving of GoTY cuase they were soo good. Now Mass Effect and Dragons Age are the same games, diffrent settings. Only difference, now there's Demon's Souls standing between the two said games. An original once in a lifetime rpg. With I believe rpg of the year in the bag for Demon's Souls. GoTY is gonna be a popular vote. Just like Washington politics the people who vote these games play favorites. A person with a GoTY vote who like shooters, is gonna vote Modern Warfare 2 without even consdering Dragons Age, Demon's souls, or the yet to be released Assassins Creed 2. So the only vote I care about is the RPG catergory. Maybe the Sim. catergory too since IL-2 was sooo awesome! And I know Spike and web sites like this one let you vote on your favorites but they dont count for anything.

    GOTY...Its Gotta Be... This Games a Summary Of How Far Gamings Gone and Going

    I now have over 24 hours on this game (PC Version) and I'm lovin it. But just realized how much trouble I'm in as I just checked my game completion percentage.... Only 14%... This game is gonna take a while to beat. I love games that give me my money's worth. Plus this game is nothing short of a work of art. Biowares' got a winner here. While I won't presume to overstep my bounds by calling game of the year, I don't think I would overstepping by saying that this game will be the RPG of the year at the very least.

    Had this a few days now for the PC. I'm loving the method of incorporation of DLC with it prompting you through speech but they should have made all day 1 DLC free to download. In know they made a good game, and I know they should be able to charge for putting more time into it but they had the extra time to put into it only because of trying to synch release with other platforms.
    Other platforms which have still ended up a bit poor, and that still haven't been released concurrently.
    In this case I think it would have been nice to offer all the DLC for free.... If only for the time it took them to release all versions. (20th Nov?)

    Also liking the lack of co-op. I don't want to play my RPGs with other people. Having said that I wouldn't mind some form of multi-player introduced after i've already had my way with the game.

    Awesome game! It's not a "free world" like Oblivion, but there's amazing locations, excellent Mass Effect combat system, incredible story and missions...And I think this time PC version is better than others..finally!

    This game is pure win there is no denying it, the only thing I wish it had was some co-op incorperated into it.

    Wow. Awesome game. Im absolutely loving it. Some of the battles are just EPIC! Only things i dont like are the amount of loading screens, and the lack of materials for crafting. But i still agree with a 9.5/10 rating for PC. Really involving and fun combat system. I would compare the combat to a MMO, except you control each character in the party lol. It's so nice having to crowd control in a single player game lol.

    I wrote a negative review of Dragon Age on this site, with absolutely nothing offensive in it- it was all purely opinion- and they DELETED my review and warned me for "purposely trying to anger or offend other gamers". If I can't find a way to get answers from gamespot, I'm deleting my account. What a joke.

    @gamerboy100, of course, but look at the score they still gave it! Do you think if the same problems were present in an RPG from a smaller publisher like Piranha Bytes (Risen) or CD Projekt (The Witcher) the game would just lose 0.5? And ever major site mentioned DA problems in the 9.0+ reviews, but NONE of them have mentioned the problems gamers have been having with it, in editorial or interviews or anything - that's been left to the smaller blogs and small gaming sites - why is that? The only place you see this is in the Gamespot forums, but why not the editorial sections? Are fellow gamers the only people supposed to tell the negatives to us, or should we expect the WHOLE truth from our media? If it's only there as a marketing tool for the major publishers, then someone needs to do something about it!

    Gamers often complain about the dumbing down of games, and how shallow they are and complain about 12 hour games costing $50, do you think if the media talked about these things too it would still be a big problem, or would it be smaller? I think it would be smaller.
