i played DA on PS3 and it was likely my fave RPG of the last generation. Enjoy.

My GS has DA 2, 3, and I believe an expansion pack for either 2 or 3. Might have to check those out too.

There isn't a 3 yet.

There is no Dragon Age 3.

There is no Dragon Age 3.

That you know of.

There's a new one coming next year (I think) called Dragon Age Inquisition. I think they are dumping the numbering, at least for now.

Keep grinding that TTT2 kid! Did you manage to get DLC codes with yours for the few extra characters that were gamestop exclusives at launch?

Lemme see here...


Regular 360 jewel case (none of the recycle nonsense)

Instructions
Prima Tekken mini-guide
Receipt
Game add-on download code

...not seeing anything Game Stop exclusive.

What characters are in the very top row of your game?

Does it look like this?



I actually don't know what characters are available for purchase or free DLC anymore, since I got them all one day 1 as preorder bonuses.

If you don't have em all, no worries (most of them are just clone characters anyways, even though the *do* have endings), still plenty of characters to unlock stuff for regardless!

Off the top of my head I couldn't tell ya.

I can tell you it is taking me forever to get endings.

If getting endings is all you need and you are having difficulties (aside from the time it takes out of the day), set it to 1 round, easy difficulty and just find one exploitable move to sucker AI with. Tekken's AI is poor at long ranges, so you can backdash away and when they run at you they will never block whatever you toss out (ie. Paul's qcf+LP), it's pretty easy to get endings and other things that way.

If you need abuseable stuff with other characters, just pm me and i will toss you some kep moves to utilize.

That would be the issue.

I beat the game on Ghost mode and it opened up an ending to a character I wasn't playing. Should I stick with Ghost mode or move to Arcade so I know which endings I'll open?

Also, as Bone mentioned, many compilations have goals, unlockable features, unlockable interviews, new modes of play, etc. that serve to motivate the player to really learn the intricacies of older games.

I like compilations. I just don't like those that were pretty lazy in their programming (Midway Arcade Treasures series, sadly).

Goals are nice too. It takes a while to complete the goals in Thunder Castle and Astrosmash on Intellvision Lives. The GBA's version of Activision Anthology also uses the real patch requirements, unlike the PC's port which made all the patch goals easier.

Plus, all the posters, interviews, and for the people who like it, those wacky visual modes.

Collecting them is just fun.

Yeah the Midway comps can be frustrating. The controls of many of those arcade games just don't transfer to console controllers very well.

@Luke

Dragon Age is gooooooood. Maybe the best 7th gen Western RPG.
