Sorry Space Giraffe, there is a NEW GOTY
« on: August 27, 2007, 02:39:04 AM »
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, the former Eastern Bloc's finest accomplishment:



It's kind of like Oblivion, if it had worse graphics, ran at a worse frame rate, but didn't load every 3 seconds, and actually gave you some direction.  Sure, the gameplay is janky, but not really any worse than Oblivion's.  Sure, the voice acting is terrible, and the localization is so bizarre that I dare not guess the game's country of origin, but those elements can be seen as atmospheric, adding to the fantasy and making the player believe they are in a different fantasy universe where people emphasize different parts of sentences than they do in our reality.  There's potion mixing, weapon combining, and loot, yes, lots of loot.  You can repeatedly combine similar items until you eventually get something awesome.

So yes, it is foreign garbage, the likes of which only a TVC, or demi, or Prole could appreciate, but it is better than Oblivion.

Oh yeah, have you listened to the song on the title screen? It kicks ass! It's like a rock version of Enya or some shit.

I'm really torn on this-the PC demo was really shitty, but this is EASTERN BLOC gaming, where demos are made out of the gaming content equivalent of sausages , i.e., whatever is lying around at the time. So I sort of hate to judge the game on that.

It's not surprising that some people would like this better than Oblivion, since it does seem to actually be coherent and is properly paced, two gaming traits that Oblivion avoided against all logic and reasoning.

I finally got the first piece of the RELIC, after about 2 days of playing this. Now I have to trudge practically half way across the map to talk to some guy who tells me where more pieces are, which are probably on each end of the map.
