Ultima™ 8 Gold Edition

Ambivalent feelings

I remember when I first got this game, and at the time I found it fantastically cool! It was so much to do in the world, so many items to interact with and so many people in the world to talk to. But that was also it, I never got far into the game (I blame my tender age, and the fact that I wasn't very good at English at the time), I mainly just ran around and tried to steal stuff, talk to people and just explore. At the time, that was well enough for me. And then, many years later when I decided to play it again, all of that old magic and sense of wonder was gone, the game felt broken. I couldn't find any of the old joys this time around, and I did feel a pretty deep sense of disappointment, because I'd always hyped it in my head since the first time I played it. Sooo, if I hadn't tried it again I'd give it a solid 5/5, but now, based on the disappointment and broken dreams from the second try, I can't really give it much more than a 2 star, and one of those stars are just there for sentimental reasons. :'(
