@bfeinberg @Patohua1 This is a gaming site. It's dedicated to... gaming. While he could have been a little more eloquent about it, his point is valid. As a business, why would you make your clients go to your competition to get the rest of what they want/need?
@Gelugon_baat @hitomo I agree with hitomo. These bullsh!t games look like they were taken directly from the 40 MB HD in my first 286 SX/12 PC 20-some years ago. I simply don't understand what the hell is going on with this crap. If they're going to make games like this, and if sites are going to review them, fine; put them in a genre all unto themselves. Classifying them as an "RPG", when it's a game that's clearly from the 80's, is simply wrong. Period.
@blueinheaven I posted a reply very similar to your own a few months ago about a game very much like this one. I was BLASTED for thinking that, in 2013, games shouldn't look like they're from 1990. Like you, I do NOT understand this "craze" at all.
At the very least, they should have two review sections: "Games" and "Indie Games". Giving Indie games the same rating as a truly great game from this century irritates me beyond belief.
@Eraldus You're right. It should have been reviewed based on what people want it to be or what it might one day be, not what it is. Well thought-out comment...
@cws3e @MadaraSoul While I get the essence of your response, Bioware did such a shit job with Dragon Age 2 that yeah, I will not purchase this game until I've either watched a friend play it or pirated it first. DA2 was a waste of $60 on the PC, and I will NOT make that mistake again with Bioware.
@metroidprime55 Have you checked the Event Viewer (right-click My Computer -> Manage -> System Tools -> Windows Logs) under both System and Application to see if anything obviously happened at the time of the reboot (driver crash; over-heat sensor in the BIOS, if you have one that reports to the O.S.; etc.)? When a system panics and reboots, often there's nothing in the event logs (no time to write it), but you may get lucky...
