Why is everyone hating on this game based off of a few minutes of pre-beta gameplay?

1. Yes the action is faster, but it's no different to the original Dragon Age. If you actually pay attention, many of the same things that made Dragon Age such a CRPG (locking onto enemies, waiting to attack, etc.) haven't been removed, they've simply been sped up.

2. You're only seeing one tiny part of what will inevitably be a massive game. Calling the environments shit or the textures lacking is all fine and good if it's for the final game. But for a game in pre-beta state? That's just completely ignorant.

3. Dragon Age is not the perfect CRPG everyone seems to think it was. The dialogue system (while neat and allowing for a lot of different options) inevitably led to the same conclusions, making me feel as if none of the funny dialogue really mattered. And who knows if they'll take this out of the game or not? Why won't you actually trust the people who have been making fantastic RPG's for years? And you know what, if you find out that the game isn't what you want it to be, you don't have to buy it.
