Shadowbane: 1/10 points |
The game concept itself is good. Build cities, quest for a lost sword, tons of lore to promote faction wars, and many classes and race combinations to choose from. The problem is none of the above works well.
The graphics are sub-par at best. This could be overlooked if the game play made up for it. It does not! They said using the outdated point and click method would help lag, but lag is just horrible. The classes are as unbalanced as I've ever seen in a game. If you want to play a melee class find another game since all melee classes are under powered and best and totally useless at worst. Also client/server sync issues makes it impossible for a melee character to swing in large scale battles. The game crashes all the time (sb.exe). They say with each patch its fixed but it never is.
There is no content in the game at all. No quests, no dungeons, no castles; not a damn thing to explore. They are however releasing an expansion pack you need to pay for to get content. So now you need to buy the game plus an expansion just to get the minimal content most games give you with original release. Look at the amount of stuff most expansions give in games such as EQ, DAoC, AO, and UO and then compare to what this expansion gives. Its pathetic to see.
Pass on this one. Dragon Empires, World of Warcraft, Darkfall, and others will be released soon. I would wait for one of these titles to come out. |
