Banished - to the bitbucket
This is the SECOND GOG purchase I truly regret. I SO wanted to like this game. I've spent all day every day since I bought it trying hard to like it. But ultimately, not only do I not like this game - I HATE it. It sounded so perfect. A city-building game where there was no annoying combat to deal with. No zombies. No werewolves, vampires, or hideous mutants. Just you and your people, building up your town and civilization. HA! Death stalks you at ever turn. Heck, there's a review over at Rock Paper Scissors that says everything about that particular part of the game that needs to be said. But ultimately it wasn't the arbitrary things that were constantly leading to death that was the problem. There are tons of mods to get around the worst of those imbalances. What finally broke the camel's back for me was discovering just how tetchy the game is about object placement - say, roads, for instance. I got sick and tired of trying to lay down road across what looked even close up like dead level terrain, only to have the road tool tell me it won't put a road on a 3 square long section. Or trying to place building on anything even faintly resembling some sort of rational plan only to have the AI refuse to place a building in line with all the rest of the street because of some minuscule undetectable by the human eye difference in the level of just one square in the footprint of the building. Or even worse, not being able to lay down an entire field because of said invisible terrain level difference. (There's a mod for that last one, but nothing to be done about the rest) Seriously. These guys can allegedly mine iron ore out of deep mines - but they can't handle one bump in a 20 acre field? Annoying. That's what this game is. Just freakin' annoying.
Hilft dir das weiter?
