I read all the reviews/ads above, and I admit if I'd base my opinion on
this game by these reviews, I'd agree with you (I did buy the game, didn't
I? :)).
But believe me, it just doesn't cut it, for all the reasons I mentioned. I
can give you a direct comparison to other CRPGs, if you like.
>So, tell me again why you think it's not a good game?
If I find you 5 ads/reviews saying that MacD*nalds is the greatest food
that was ever created would you go out and praise its qualities? =)
Yeah, I know, Windows sells for some reason! ;)
Play the game for some days, then, as a great collector and experienced
player that you are, I'm sure you'll agree with me. And with 100% of all
the real CRPGs fans I know.
