Castaway Paradise is pretty similar. It changes with the seasons. It has holidays and it is most definitely taking most of its cues from the Animal Crossing playbook. It's not too bad of a "clone" either. It's not great but it's not bad. Mindless entertainment.

This new found craze of "remastering" games that aren't even 10 years old is getting a little out of hand (unless the "upgrade" is free for those who bought the games originally). With that said, the thought of playing Mass Effect again makes me nauseous so, uhm, yeah....

Isn't $60 a lot to ask for a game that's "not there yet" or fully baked? I like to buy games, not potential.

4/10 or 5/10 (if I am being generous). I can't really think of anything redeeming about the game (maybe that it's a little better than DA2, but that's a pretty low bar). It had crap combat, terrible character building and, even by Bioware standards, a laughably ham-fisted story. I nearly pissed myself silly laughing at the "big dramatic moment" in the story line. Cheesy. Cheesy. Cheesy.

Nope.

I've had fun with Grim Dawn.

I think the word "masterpiece" gets thrown around way too casually.

I'm always a little bit surprised that anybody, anywhere, still cares about these "trade shows" which (lets be honest) are really nothing more than 3 day wank-a-thons between The Industry and what passes for gaming journalism. They could all go away and I'd be okay with it.

@PredatorRules: I really wish somebody would make a game like that.

This topic called for it

LOL, apparently they haven't heard about taxes fees

and they punish pvp unless the admins sanction it when they hate each other

I hear the end-game is kind of crappy, too.

Nice generalization there. I wonder what your thoughts are on people who want their role-playing games to be, well, actual role-playing games?

Bethesda should give up all pretenses, stop marketing their games as RPGs, and call them what they actually are, action-adventure games. People would probably give them a lot less crap if they did. Just sayin'.....
