The Witcher is all about story and I enjoyed it for that. But games are supposed to be fun to play, and in my opinion, that is where it fell a little short. The cool looking, but tedious sword play, weak magic and cumbersome meditation system just felt dull over the long haul.
Add in lack of enemy and environment variety, awful looking gear, tank controls, out of place QTEs and the linearity of it all and I was left just being thankful that it at least had a great story to k...
It might be the most overlooked game I have ever played. The pacing, feeling of growth and adventure, the gameplay variety and attention to so many fine details is pretty damn amazing. So sad that many are not even seeing this.
Don't sleep on this game because of some butt hurt article about how it's too hard. When it's too hard, you go back, level up and then come back later to reap the rewards of your growth. That is what it is all about and far too many games i...
I am down for getting niche games like this digital download only, but at a reduced price. Even though the others were released here on disk, we should just be glad we are getting this period. It is not like it is going to be a mega-hit.
I am buying Dragon's Dogma because it is going to be an amazing game, and the demo confirmed that for me.
Sorry, I have no interest in yelling dragon shouts at my television set. I can just see one of my friends coming to the door while I am screaming, "Fus-Ro-Dah." LOL, no thanks. The only useful thing I have seen for Kinect is the ability to choose, start and stop movies with your voice, such as with HBO GO. Now that is a cool feature, but I would never buy one for gaming.
I did this in store, so you are good to go.
I jumped on this at Gamestop today to replace my YLOD fattie. Got Arkham City free as well. I have played it, but missed a lot of the side stuff, so I will enjoy it again. Hell of a deal and am happy to finally have a slim.
I am sorry that people are actually stupid enough to buy more of an ending that should have been fleshed out and included with the conclusion that we have been waiting for since 2007. But I am not about to apologize because people are disappointed that they did not get it. As we most certainly did not get it.
It's not entitlement either, it is just a matter of paying for something and not getting what should have been there. It's something that people have been waiti...
A 3 is the kind of score that I give to games like X-Blades. While this is certainly not the Ninja Gaiden we all love and while it may not be a great game, I seriously doubt it is X-Blades level of bad. Just no way.
In other words, they planned all along to sell you the rest with DLC. They know no limits, do they?
Absolutely amazing game. Played it three times in a row last night and can't get enough.
This where Destructoid has no clue, apparently. People are not mad because of a dark ending. They are upset because none of their previous choices mean anything. There is a slight variation of a stock ending that seems so out of place... then it ends on a cliffhanger that just screams, "Stay tuned for DLC!" There is even a plug for it after the post-credits scene.
In other words, there was no real conclusion to a series people have been invested in since 2007. It is...
It is supposed to be the end of a beloved trilogy and it has a slightly varied stock ending where none of your previous choices really mean anything, and then it cuts off on a cliffhanger. Yeah, I would say people have a right to be upset about that, because it is an obvious set up to sell DLC. Does that leave you feeling satisfied after investing so much time into this series since 2007?
They have no problem putting fucking Jessica Chobot in the game, but they can't give people who buy their game new the Prothean? Fuck off with your PR bullshit, EAWare. The more you spew, the more you only further insult our intelligence as consumers. Keep on digging that hole.
I would love it as well, but with today's BioWare there would no doubt be day 1 DLC characters that are already locked on the disk and it would probably have the ending cut off into some vague as hell cliffhanger, only to be sold to us later as more DLC.
Forbes take on the matter:

I played the trial and was sold to hell and back. How many pure survival games do we get these days, guys? There are plenty of good reviews for this game... and for good reason. Unlocking the full game tonight.
The point is that EA went from offering extra characters and content for free as an incentive to buy new to making you either buy the collector's edition for $80.00 to get it, or pony up $10.00 to get it on day one. Secondly, if the character has no real meaning plot-wise as they say, then they have effectively cheapened a rather significant part of the lore. It is not good, any way you look at it.

Laggy gameplay and inferior image quality would be problematic for those with less than adequate connections. Give me a disk or even a digital download instead, thanks.
