I'd recommend people to at least try the demo before buying it new. Or maybe my current game standards have just climbed too high. | ||

Am I the only one who thought the demo was really, really ugly, with a user interface straight out of 2005? I try not to be a graphics whore, but when the level of polish in a game is that low, it's hard not to be. | ||

i did find the voice acting/cut scenes to be of a higher quality than most RPGs ive seen though, so that was neat (although not as good as things valve does or anything like that, but pretty good considering the game is like 50 hours long or whatever). | ||

Looked at the game a lot, tried the demo. Good game IMO, probably will be the best RPG before Diablo 3 comes out. Skyrim is cool but this game seems to have actually enjoyable combat. | ||

Diablo 3 is just an action game with some character stat development. | ||

What was wrong with Skyrim combat btw? TB said something about it in a tweet a while back, I've only played mage so maybe I haven't noticed what the problem is but I wanna know what people mean when they say "bad combat". | ||

Skyrim is bad combat because you can complete the entire game by using the same strategy and attacks on all the enemies I was a mage too, and I found it easiest to just spam the dual casting fireball throughout the game. The only reason I had to use other spells was because I didn't want to die of boredom. I liked Skyrim a lot, but for such a hyped and big game it had major flaws | ||

Why do you keep referring to "real" action games? This isnt an action game. Its an RPG. Its like saying: "I cant stand God of War's progression system, its so dull compared to Skyrim, im gonna go play a REAL RPG!!" you see how stupid that sounds? | ||

The fight with the troll, in spite of the controls / cameras was really fun and that alone showed me there's potential. It's too soon for me to really call though, so it's funny being underwhelmed so much by a game everyone else seems to love to death. It's like everyone else has a fully fixed version and i'm the only one who doesn't. I patiently await some lets plays or something. On the demo alone, i'm not buying this. If i see significant improvements, i probably will. Also poo poo at no prizes for NZ in that thing DayJ is doing. That almost never happens where Aussies are eligible but we're not | ||
