This isn't an RPG like I first imagined, it's actually a mix of resource management, hidden object gameplay, and a story-driven experience. I know that sounds like a weird combination, but it's surprisingly fun. I finished the main story in about six hours, but I kept playing to complete all the side quests and unlock every achievement (which are in-game only, not tied to the GOG platform). There are definitely some improvements that could be made. For example, having a journal to track all main and side quests would be a great addition. Still, despite a few minor flaws, I think it's a great game to enjoy over a weekend.
In regard of the game. I really like it. I played it on the hard difficulty, with the option of a simulate the car handling. In regards of driving + shooting mechanics, I didn't love them, I justo tolerate them. In regards of the shooting, I really prefer the Mafia 1 DE mechanics, they feel way more comfortable. Aside from that I really like them. Now abaout the story, there are 15 chapters (at least in the main game) and from chapter 1 to 10, I really enjoy the story, bur from 11 to 15, I really thinks that its get very rushed. Now talking about the remaster... I didn't see the bugs that a lot of people have mention, but I have suffer from a lot of them. As far as I know, this (inluding the original console version) are the same version that before, with the same bugs and features, so you can play this I suppose. But I don't think this is a good port.
Played it when I was young, probably 5 yo, but playing it today you can see all the defects that it has. I played with a friend of mine and got some laughs. There are some puzzles with no sense, the FMVs are so low quality that you might not see where you are supposed to go, and the combat is very bad. I recommended to people who is intrested in this type of game... the ones that are very clunky
First things first. You don't need XBOX LIVE anymore, that's good thing. Also, I'm not a native english speaker :) Now, I'm gonna be quick. I love CRPG and I've played a lot of them (Fallout 1, TES Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Eschalon, Ultima, etc) but I didn't play this expecting to be a masterpice in the genre. In fact, it's a modern bethesda game, so it can't be excellent. I didn't like how the modify the character creation. I know this is a very picky thing to criticize, but one of the most enjoable parts in RPGs are the character creation (al least for me). Moving on, I tolerated the combat system, the graphics, the green filter (pls use fellout mod) and the classic Bethesda bugs. At first I hated that I can't join some factions. You're like a freelancer of some sort, but in the end, I kind of like it. To wrap up, the main story is... good enough? I like it and it was an enjoable experience! Then, comes the DLC... I started with Operation anchorage, and let me tell yo. DO NOT PLAY THIS. If I want to play CoD, I install CoD. Then I started playing Mothership Zeta and I think "I don't diserve to suffer this bullet Sponge enemies" so I quit the DLC part of the game. Maybe in some other time I'll play the rest of them. But those 2 are HORRIBLE.
