To add insult to injury the routine crtitical hits for 5x damage that NPCs get means that you have to reload at least once every single goddamn combat. Kill 4 out of 5 enemies and your guys are still in pretty good shape, so you think the fighst going well, right? Oops, critical hit on your tank who has the best armor money can buy from head to toe. He's dead, Jim. Time to bring up the reload screen. And you can't even safely save games in the middle of the fight because they stor the next round's results in the save game.
Which could be a critical hit that will kill one of your characters. Each and every time you load that save game. Anmd what's up with the fucking magic system? It sure seems to work well for the NPCs but it seems to be a complete waste of time for me. I won't even get into how absurd it is to have characters regen so fast that they can go from almost dead to full health in 15 or 20 seconds just standing there. If anybody cares to defend this combat system on the grounds that it's "realistic" then I'd like to hear an explanation for that I LOVE roleplaying games that have detailed and realistic tactical combat.
I don't know who in the hell they thought they were making this game for, but it wasn't me. Yeth, Yeth. That's the lisping homosexual protagonist in Evil Islnad being given an instrauction I wonder if the developers of this game realized how appropriate it was going to be when the bitchy gay main character whines "This is BORING!
By the way, if anybody cares to defend the presence of so many overtly gay men in this game that "Official" from the other island wasn't too obvious was he?
After the Boyscout incident gays are pretty low on my priority list for tolerance. I want proportional representation for ethnic minorities, people who speak English as a second language, handicapped people, stupid people and ignorant people before I'll even consider the proposition that gay characters belong in computer games. Guess what, game developers? Most of your customers aren't gay! And I have another really nice friend whose gay. I have no problem with them at all.
