Boring for no reason...

User Rating: 5.5 | The Witcher PC
Since Blade of Darkness, no Rpg game could bring such quality and realism to the "action" itself. by action I mean the "slicing, cutting, hacking" part of the game.

All rpg games in the market from oblivion to the witcher are a one button mashing in time or not in time, with bad hitting effects.

If the action itself is boring, why would one play an rpg? for better equipment? for sight seeing?

Car Racing games are very strict on the "action itself" wich is driving, so why can't rpg game concentrate more on the moves, weapon use, and hitting realism a little more???

Blade of Darkness has no rpg element, no dialogs, not even a descent story, BUT, the action itself was brillant, and supported by the atmosphere? The Witcher promises a lot about the action, offering nothing. Animations are all bad, and boring, while the story itself is too Alienating. Yes, we can see that they are trying a more original way to tell a story, but it didnt work.

Instead of that, the graphics are quiet good, but better play crysis, if you are here for the look. Most of the time you stare at a Loading Sequence JPG because of the too frequent loading times.

The only thing good about this game is the sound and musical score.

a game which tried to combine diablo and oblivion, and drowned itself between both...
