This is just one of those games that bring back memories when I play it, like the original Fallout and FO2. Not everyone's cup of , but it is mine and some others, and that's all that really matters. I wish the GoG version could somehow come with an original printed manual/tome which were absolutely brilliant. I still have my FO ones but don't know where the Arcanum one got to?
Some want free stuff and then complain it's not the free stuff they expect from not being able to read the title properly. Sad educational standards I suppose as it is crystal clear to all but a few that the free goodies are from CP2077 and the upcoming release. Nowhere does it say "FREE CYBERPUNK 2077 GAME!" Good to know most of use learnt to read in school.
So, these sort of sims appeal to me but I wait to see the reviews before I purchase when a game is new so I waited for some. When they came, they weren't very reassuring and I held off some more as they did at least seem to promise fixes on the horizon. Then eventually I got notification that the Anniversary Edition was on special and some of the reviews had indicated those aforementioned fixes and I took the gamble... it was not a break me sort of investment; It was quite cheap actually. I have had very little issues with the game. There has been no crashes though customers will walk about exploring and get stuck in a corner and just stack if you don't realise or forget they there, but that's why the introduced the hand of god button (but it shouldn't be a thing that's needed in the first place. No manual I can find (I may have missed it) to let me know the answers to many questions. No explanation on why adventurers, bards, seers, and vedetas will not do a quest for days and the quest will just vanish uncompleted? Is there a limit on how many quests? A time span between finishing one and starting another? You can have a metaphorical 'million' staff but customers will still complain about slow service even if there are ample goods. Cannot be totally self sufficient with most of the more expensive items needing to be purchased. With what you can I wouldn't even try as you can't seem to have enough staff to do everything and some things (the bakery for me and brewery) just never produced any bread and ale/mead/etc. Can't seem to chop wood from a forest (I think a load screen tells you not to do so in the Lords forest, so...?) Other than that, I have been enjoying the sandbox mode even with my 'heroes' only doing assigned quests randomly. Managing fun otherwise.
