Do I love my brother with his gaming elite connections? Yes I do!
I got the game early yesterday so I have been playing 10 hours non-stop on a very cold Sunday. This is going to be a tiny review of the Xbox 360 version and if you have any questions please feel free to ask them.
Starting from the Well of Souls, you will immediately notice some slight changes in comparison with the demo, especially the smoother framerate and landscape glitches that occured which are not present any longer.
We all know the first hour of the game beyond that so that is the part that I am going to skip.
I have done a myriad of quests in that 10 hours marathon and I can honestly say that, despite 30% of the quests being fetch and kill quests, they are a lot of fun because of the combat system.
Not one encounter is the same and this makes doing quests that much better and there is never oné time where I said ''Here we go again *sigh*''
The one thing that I actually enjoyed the most are the encounters of new enemies. The moment you start to feel bored when another wolf, bear or spider comes up they throw in another new enemy with a whole new range of attacks that you need to memorize. This keeps the combat fresh and exciting. There was this one time where I saw a chest just standing there against a massive wall. My gaming instincts told me that this is to easy but I pressed on. I opened the chest and.... nothing happened. Until I walked back and I saw 3 huge giants with electric warhammers running towards me. This was a definite oh shit moment but I managed to deal with them.
I don't know what else I can write about because if I keep at it I might need two posts. One last thing that I do have to say are the graphics. While not spectacular in technical point of view, the art design just nails it. Every new region you traverse has a lot of amazing new design feats. Whether it's a castle or ruin, the game itself never ceases to amaze me and I only explored like 20% of the entire world.
Questions? Go at it. I will answer everything that is not spoiler related.
