Bokishi Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 At least some people like this game. Current 3DMark
Darth Buzz Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Overall I think a lot of people like this game, its just they are having a hard time with the ending.
Judge Hades Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 No game deserves a 100%. Every game has its weaknesses.
SoulSwindler Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Overall I think a lot of people like this game, its just they are having a hard time with the ending. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alot of people like the game...myself included...I bet if this was the first KOTOR game out people would dismiss most of the complaints and hail it as the king of games..unfortuanetly, following up KOTOR, people expected a step up..not more bugs than the first..which is where most of the complaints come from. The storytime seems to be more intricate than I had thought after beating it a second time..so I am actually beginning to like the ending..weird. :cool:
Volourn Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Not a bad review even if it goes oevrbaord most likely in its praise. One thing made me chuckle is this: "You'll wake up with amnesia - yes, this handy old Bioware-favorite plot element comes back" A. KOTOR2 PC doesn't have amnesia. B. BIO has only used amnesia as a major plot device once. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Hasn't Black Isle used it more than Bioware? I don't remember.

There's hope I won't committ suicide upon seeing the games ending(s) afterall!
Drakron Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Hasn't Black Isle used it more than Bioware? I don't remember. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IWD ... no. IWD 2 ...no. Fallout ... no. Fallout 2 ... no. Only in PS:T ... oh that explains it, they confused The S. Lords with PS:T.

R00fles! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even though I'm glad to see a very high score for this game, reviewers tend to lose credibility, even if just a bit, in my eyes when they make statements like the one Volourn quoted, since anyone who has followed this game even semi-closely would know that amnesia isn't used as a plot point.

Ivan the Terrible Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 100%? Heh. I don't think I've ever played a game that deserves 100%. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Volourn Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 "Even though I'm glad to see a very high score for this game, reviewers tend to lose credibility, even if just a bit, in my eyes when they make statements like the one Volourn quoted, since anyone who has followed this game even semi-closely would know that amnesia isn't used as a plot point." A. All reviewes will contain errors. At least if it's worthy. B. Not everyone - even professional reviewers - babysit games pre release. C. Though I have yet to play the game; it's clear at the very least; that the beginning of the game as regards to the PC's "amnesia"/past isn't really shown to the player in a very clear manner. That is probably as much the fault of the writing as it is of the player. It's not the player's job to untangle confusing wriiting. Complex writing is good; confusing writing is not. P.S. Unless your name is Volourn rambling on the 'net. :D DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
GhostofAnakin Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 Yes, but his wording is EXACTLY like other reviews and early previews that state the PC has amnesia, almost as if he just copy and pasted it.

Based on this, for all we know LucaasArts gave this 'reviewer' a free xbox and game 'just to try it out and write a piece on it'. A+ across the board? Come on people think about how many games you have played on any platfrom that you would say was the perfect gaming experience from control to gameplay to story. This game, while having its good points for sure, is not even close to being A+ across the board.
drcloak Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 Yes, but his wording is EXACTLY like other reviews and early previews that state the PC has amnesia, almost as if he just copy and pasted it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he was just using that phrase to refer to anyone who uses that idea of "Lost Memory" or "Lost Connection with the Force" or "Amnesia". I mean, losing the Connection to the Force and not knowing why for example, is equivalent to having amneisa IMO Oh yeah, forgot to mention. the majority of these Reviews I'm seeing are supremely subjective/biased. - dr cloak
Craigboy2 Posted December 18, 2004 Posted December 18, 2004 Linky <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it should have gotten 95%, everything can always be improved, nothing is perfect.
