Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 4/10 points |
Great graphics, amazing freedom, but under the surface there's just not a lot to this game. The skill system could be great if the balence weren't so poor. The combat is painfully easy, (and since there is no player skill and very little stratigy involved, also dull) the mass quantity of areas are spoiled because so many of them look and feel the same, there is very little variation in quests, and dialogue is static. (due to the fact that actual dialogue options are very rare, with ultima-style topics instead) For me, however, the worst thing about Morrowind is that pretty much no matter what you do, nobody cares. The game gives you the freedom to become the leader of the continent's magic guild, but when you do it, not even the guild's members will react differently towards you. The gameword doesn't give the impression that you can change it, even in small ways. As a side note, while I found the main plot to be boring, the background information on the world and races is very rich, and most of the books in the game are fun to read. |
Final Fantasy VII: 2/10 points |
I don't mind linear games, or predefined characters, and I much prefer RPGs to have a heavy focus on story than combat. Nevertheless, this game was ruined by two things. Number one is the combat. Random encounters are amazingly common, so it takes a long time to move through any hostile area. Considering that for me at least, combat wasn't fun at all, this was a major annoyance. Number two is writing. It doesn't seem like this game has poor quality writing as it seems like it was written for a young audience. The writing basically destroyed any possibility of me getting involved in the plot or attached to the characters. So with no fun coming out of the plot-heavy parts, and no fun coming out of the combat-heavy parts, there was nothing left in this game to entertain me. |
Planescape: Torment: 10/10 points |
Not a good game for the hack & slash crowd, but in terms of story and writing, nothing I've seen comes close. |
