Is;

- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good

Isn't;

- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love

It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.

Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....

Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

Although by your definition they're RPG's.

Yeah, it was originally scheduled as Bioshock but nothing has been said since, this was 2 years a go.

I was referring to Devil May Cry although Deus Ex wasn't far behind despite the obvious flaw of pants combat.

As for System Shock, most definitley up there with the best, one of very few games that was actually tense to play. Shame there isn't going to be a next generation sequel.

I found Deus Ex mostly pants, the sequel was worse.

System Shock 2 was far better.


As for Ninja Gaiden...it's rather shallow.

Nah.

1) Too dark. Seriously, it's a real gripe I have
2) Not as free-form as everybody said it was
3) Combat was rubbish

Bio-mods were brilliant though.

Oh it is, I can honestly say it tops the lot, Ninja Gaiden included.

You're a FOOL.

Simple.

DE was good, but I didn't find it as amazing as everyone was screaming it was...

There was always F12 in Deus Ex, plus it wasn't THAT dark.

The additional challenge alone in Ninja Gaiden made me enjoy it far more than Zelda.

Oh and I forgot, Devil May Cry ;)
