I just picked this game up two days ago and since then i can't put it down. I love all types of games. I own a PS3/360 and over 60 games. I bought this game randomly with about 5 others a couple days ago to give it a shot. I heard a lot of good things about it but gamespots review put me off from buying it. Shame on gamespot for giving this master piece a 7.5. They must not like games or something. Or they like little love tales like Journey instead of real hardcore games.

First, the things that stand out for me in this game is the beautiful artistic world. There are so many wonderful environments. Next thing is the top notch writing. I've played skyrim for 600 hours thus far and always come back to it. However, this games writing really brings you deep into the world's lore. This sadly can't be said about skyrim's writing. This is why this game is such a breath of fresh air.

The map is massive. I've only played about 20 hours and only scratched the surface. There is so much to do and discover. I really feel like i'm playing a grand MMO by myself in this world since it does remind me of WOW a little bit. It has a really nice crafting system and tree builds. I play it on hard and the combat is just plain fun.

If this game has been on the back of your mind i'd buy it right now. You won't be disappointed. I could say a lot more but this games been out for awhile so you know all the details. If your a hardcore gamer like me and love wrtiting, combat and RPGs this game is a must cause you can easily sink 100 hours into this one without blinking.
