[quote name='chubbyninja1319']One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the thread yet.....is this game any good?[/QUOTE]
I thought it was a big ol pile of poo. I can rant for a long time about it but I'll be brief and just say it has a bunch of graphic issues (the main offender being the frame rate), a poor control layout, random difficulty spikes, static combat, and cheesy acting/animation. Some folks say they can see a gem behind all the crusty graphical snafus but I gotta draw the line at some point (usually the frame rate), more importantly it has to be fun to play but I felt there was no fun to be had. The game is pretty deep when it comes to crafting, upgrading, concocting, etc. and the multiplayer's a welcome addition to these kinda games but I have trouble seeing the point in either of those when the core gameplay sucks so bad... no point in getting all dressed up when you've got nothing worthwhile to do.
Some say they genuinely enjoy it, and others try and put a "so bad its good" spin on it.... the former confuse me but maybe they see something that I don't, the latter is Destructoid and would be shot out of a cannon into the atlantic if I had my way. Either way I think when you come across a "polarizing" game like this you just gotta try and play it for yourself, personally I would at least rent it first.
