Oblivion incredibly addicting? Oh come on
So are you saying he was wrong to like it?
Oblivion incredibly addicting? Oh come on
It won't take much time to check it out by yourself.On another topic, I'm going to just take a wild stab in the dark because I haven't checked for myself... but let me guess... the bethesda FO3 forum is filled with hate... call me crazy... bit I think that maybe, just maybe it is.
Here are scores from Metacritic for some recent and highly anticipated games (min, max in paranthesis):
Bioshock - 96 (80-100)
Gothic 3 - 63 (20-85)
Neverwinter Nights 2 - 82 (60-100)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - 82 (58-93)
I wouldn't say that this is mostly "pretty much perfect" reviews.
As for "the best cRPG ever", I agree with those saying the term is meaningless. Apart from that it is a matter of opinion. At the very least, the game won several game of the year polls, and if you look through forums, you will find a lot of people who agree with the claim.
If I have to make a choice, I (and a lot of others) think Planescape Torment is the best computer game ever. That doesn't mean it IS the best computer game ever.
And, btw, I read everything with a somewhat sceptical eye. Including forums and usenet posts.
Why the reviewers call V.A.T.S. "turn based" is beyond me.
No, and this is precisely the point: the game is not turn based, but for some strange reason it's hip to call one of the combat modes "turn based". Hell, if this is the new fashion, if it's popular to boast some turn-based goodness in your games, why not just MAKE a turn-based game?Is the game supposed to be turn-based? I'm just curious - I did not enjoy the original Fallout milieu, so I'm not sure I would enjoy this update, but if it implements a decent turn-based combat system (or something suitably hybridized) I might give it a whirl. What's up with some reviewers? It's like they've never played a game in the genre they're meant top be reviewing. "Praise Jeebers! It's the second coming...!"
Bioshock - 96/100 thats no where perfect, right?
Since when Gothic merchindise is well-known across the sea? G1 and G2 werent even published there. So no suprise in how it was received also taking into account how buggy it was.
Stalker - same thing as for G3 - I mean it wasnt hyped as are the blockbuster titles. And additionally it wasnt published by any of the main publishers in North America (EA, Activision, Vivendi, THQ and so on...). And if you think that by the last sentence I accusse gaming journalists of relativism then you are right.
As for NWN2 you do remember the state it was released? It was close to the Gothic 3. So it sure is a miracle of hype-iness that it has so high scores. And of course the legend of prequel helped as much as swift patching.
...
I didn't know that S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the Gothics were little known/little hyped over there. I thought they were, as they were heavily discussed on game forums like this one before release. So what other games do you think of?
You want me to believe that Gothic brand is as highly regarded oversees as in Europe? .

I thought the games I listed were good examples of AAA games. I based that assumption on the coverage on game forums I read regularly - particularly this forum.
