Awesome game!!! rly loved the combat physics abilities they were all so creative nd satisfying. really nailed the game play. I looove the world and writing i just dont think the actual story is paced the best. None the less. awesoem.. ALSO: dont hit new game after starting a save already. This WILL break yr game and corrupt saves. CLEAN REINSTALL. Docking a star for tht annoying technical issue
FUcing awesome shit IDk WHERE these writing chops were in the base game but its all here. Love
Deffo drags in some bits but overall had a rly good time w her despite sm annoying technical issues!!! Incredible setting nd writing. DLC is definitely the high point where they decide 2 get WEIRD with it. Basically establishes remedys whole thing following. Theres def this self referential feel going with how the game handles Alan Wake as the protaganist (he sucks, but hes writing the story).... Idk it was neat. Gameplay ws rly alright cldve handled better and some bits were kkinda bs. IM the person to play most games on hard so when i say play this one on easy I mean it. Certain bits kinda last too long and itll short the time u spend just waiting to get to the cooler story bits!!! Overall fun horror tinged action game.
AWESOME Game. srsly UP THERE. plkay th is shit pussies. The inclusio of survival horror elements puts this Leagues above the first Tho sometimes the rpg elements can b annoying. I still dont mind cuz its hella Fun!!! awesome storytelling awesome setting awesome graphics awesome atmosphere. a ten. thats rigt a 10/. play it and tell a transgendfer person u did to get sm pussy on the side.
By brilliant, I do mean the game itself. Baldur's Gate 2 much, much, muuuuuuuuuch better than the original. The story seems to start out a bit separate than the story in the original but it grows larger into a tale of how you will decide your fate. While most modern rpgs boast about how "you can be a cool dude, or you can be a bad dude, your choice" in the marketing, Baldur's Gate 2 does it right, because you CAN be a cool dude or a bad dude. Your choices have consequences and the story is a major moral turning point for your character. The story is about embracing your heritage, and becoming what you were destined to be, and it can take a different moral based on how YOU play. The writing is fantastic, every quest has meaning to it, and it all works. The infinity engine is great, as always, it's just a great game, play it now. The EE is okay, I guess. I don't like the extra content Beamdog put in, but you can avoid that. What you've got here is an amazing game. EE - 4/5 Original - 5/5
Fallout 1 and 2 were incredible rpgs, and F3: Van Buren looked amazing. But Bethesda bought out the franchise. And then they made this. Fallout 3 is not a Van Buren, it's an Elder Scrolls game, but a with a different atmosphere. That's the problem. Fallout is not Elder Scrolls, Obsidian knew this when they made NV, and made a Fallout game. The big key aspect is the writing. I don't care about the engine, it works fine for me. The shooting is okay, there isn't much for me to talk about here. Fallout 3 is really badly written. Reaaaallly. There are certain plot holes, the story has a lack of choice, the world ruins some of the most beloved things from Fallout. The story follows you looking for your Dad, typical beginning for a Fallout story, something small that opens up. But how it opens up is the problem. As the story opens up, you're supposed to have a choice on what goes on, how it opens up. There isn't any moral ambiguity here, there are clear good guys and bad guys in this story, no grey area. This makes the story incredibly shallow. The only options throughout the game were either "be a saint, the savior of the wasteland!" or "be the antichrist who will kill everyone, why, because he's mean!" That ruins the rpg aspects of the story, you don't have any choice. You can't be morally perplexed. The choice is so bad in this game, that you don't even get to start with a clean slate, or at least a little, for what the classic Fallouts delivered. The main story begins with THE MAIN CHARACTER'S BIRTH. LITERALLY. WE GET A FULL MONTAGE OF HIS LIFE. This is not how you start an rpg, you need a main character with an ambiguous past so you can create and understand your character. That's the fun of an rpg, and F3 kinda ruins it. I guess it's worth checking out if you're really into the Fallout franchise and you're itching for more. 2 stars, a disappointment. At least it's not Fallout 4, though.
