Asheron's Call 2: The Fallen Kings: 1/10 points |
I dont see why people say that this game has good graphics, because it dont. The animations are crappy, the models are "ok", the environment is only nice in SOME spots (the only reason they look good in the screen shots, is b/c they only show the spots that DO look good) and the spell effects are terrible (Asherons call 1 is what? 3-4 older than this and it has better spell effects). The only thing that i thought looked somewhat detailed was the water. THe gameplay is one of the worst ive yet to experience. The game is unbelievably linear, and has no point b/c theres no fun in it. Unless you find it a triumph to kill simplistic AI with ease and without a challenge, i guess it could be fun . . . or NOT. The highest level you can get to is 50, and people are already there. All of the players turn out pretty much the same once you reach 50, b/c the skill system is so linear. Turbine said there would be 300+ "skills". Now im sure most people thought they were talking AC1 language . . . but they werent. If you were to use AC1 language regarding skills, this game only has 3 or 4 skills. They are bow, melee and magic (which is pretty much the same as bow, but just with a limited range to shoot, along with bursts that do somewhat more damage.) B/c of the small variety of different types of weapons, i guess you could say 10 skills in AC1 language, but still, AC1 has what? 90+ skills?. The map/level is VERY small, and doesnt compare to the 1st AC in size (not counting the expansion pack). You cant go in any of the buildings, not to mention that the towns are pretty much 90% of the time deserted. One character can spend their whole time out in the wilderness for their whole game time camping the spawn of a monster b/c theres no reason to go back to town. The quests arent any better than the regular AC, and dont have anything more to offer. The list goes on about how crappy this game is. Dont believe the reviews, remember this game is made by microsoft, so im guessing that they made SOME kind of deal with the reviewers. Face it, this game is just a quickly whipped up attempt to get some extra bucks with minor flashy graphics. They threw together some crappy skill system in spite of all there time on the graphics (which like I said, werent good after all). This game has less to offer than the first AC in all aspects just mind a few things that dont matter. Gameplay makes a game not graphics. I talk to people every day and the amount of people playing is dropping day by day b/c this game SUCKS. There are some people that just play b/c they just too stubborn to admit what a crappy game it is. Yeah, dont give me the excuse that Turbine is going to do updates, b/c they cant change the whole game. This is what it would take to improve it. I expected more from turbine seeing the results of AC1 . . . but this . . . this is just pure crap. Dont buy it . . . unless you just want something to take your anger out on and smash. |
