Around here? Peruse some threads, you'll find out that you are not the only one with that approach. Refining details, it’s really strange asking: am I the only one this or that? You'll ever find someone that will share your view, but uniqueness comes from details, and then, you'll most likely be the only one at something specific once in a while.
On the Net, there's 'Hate' and there's Criticism. Many people usually claim they are mega fans of this, fans of that. Being very attached and fan of something can work both ways: will make you love everything about it, or it’ll make you want very hard something to be as good as you expected to, tough love, raising children, similar concepts. I think we shouldn't admonish anything these days, even ‘hate’, if it has a common source. If many critics, even those we classify as 'hate', state similar things, it might be a point to look upon, there are patterns embedded in the writing, and they shouldn’t be ignored as mainstream either.
Language and education, of course, will always appeal more when you are criticizing something, and there are some people who are civil, but education alone means they have more rights or that they have points that have more value than the ones who rage? They all could be stating the same thing in the end. Some people need many f-words to prove a point or they fail to express themselves. If you look past it, you might find content, sometimes they are logical and valid. Others love the sound of their own voices, of course, can’t deny that.
I am one who would currently classify this game 5 of 10. I had fun in my first playthrough, endured most of the bugs, because they generally didn’t disrupt my gaming experience; just once in Kedara I had to replay 5h due a vault bug. After the hype, because I was infected by it, had passed, I sat back and started to replay and rethink aspects of the game. Right now, there’s nothing, nothing really, in the whole game that stands out to me. Nothing that makes me genuinely say: Wow. Nothing.
I was engulfed by a surge of ideas and things regarding improvements, basically most of the things that really bothered me in the game design, specially mechanics. I really cannot say that there is anything that I completely approve. I had concluded visuals were pleasant, I was ok with them. Face animations themselves was a small issue to me, but I missed much more body language, which overwhelmed the necessity of better facial expressions. The writing lacked depth, so I was ever thinking something would evolve, then nothing came. Then it was difficult sympathizing or sinking into the game.
I won’t really rephrase everything I said. They are spread on other threads, but I tried to structure them all with the best of my abilities.
However, you’ll surely find people who love the game as it is. The main issue being bugs and that’s that. You’ll grasp the ‘only one that feels this and that’ from anyone willing to post here. Now, if it’ll really give the insight you expect, I cannot be sure. What I mostly wanted to point out, is that communication and the way we express ourselves may not be the same, but a same thing being expressed in many ways by many different people cannot be ignored, specially when you work for a great public with so many cultural and political differences.
I’ll apologize in advance if I sounded too harsh. And welcome to the boards. I noticed it’s your first post.
