SOOOOOO Disappointed!!!!!!
User Rating: 1.7 | Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM) PC
I loved NWN 1 and all of its expansion packs. It is one of my favorite games of all time and have probably played thru 5 times ..................I was looking forward to NWN 2 and rushed out to buy it. Plunked down 40 bucks, and I wish I could get my money back. Are the professional reviewers on drugs or what? 8.5 from Gamespot!!!! This game is abysmal. I wanted to love it , and have tried to play it keeping it loaded on my computer for the last 3 months. Every time I start it up I hope I was mistaken and it will be amazing. The graphics are ugly and bring your computer to a standstill unless you have a supercomputer. The camera is the worst part of the game, making it all but unplayable. I have tried all 4 options and none of them are any better than the other. You constantly have to adjust the camera angle after every click of the mouse making the fighting scenes especially tedious. I'm getting a migraine just thinking about it. Why! Why! Why! did they ruin this game? I wonder if the developers actually played this after they completed it. I dont see how they could have, Its that bad. Everyone is ranting and raving about the amazing story line, but how can you even enjoy it when you are so frustrated with everything else? This is the first time I have written a review at Gamespot, motivated by sheer frustration and disappointment! ;-( P. S I have patched the game numerous times and this has not helped at all. I have a fairly decent computer with a P4 3.4 GHz Extreme edition, 2 gigs of ram, and an Nivida 7800gs graphics card. One last bone to pick.....The game has numerous scenes which have to be loaded. pretty much every few minutes you go to an area or cut scene which has to be loaded , and the loads take a long time and are very distracting! OK I think I'm done complaining for now. Gonna go install Oblivion again. the best RPG Ive played to date.
