RPG Division 4 horas atrás (editado)
Bards Tale 4 is close to being finished but still some side things remain. Right now im switching over to Pathfinder Kingmaker but will continue to play Bards Tale 4 until everything I wanted to do is in form of a video. Unfortunately there is not enough time to write and produce a review so I am going to write a short version here. Feel free to ask about the game and I will try to answer. Bards Tale 4 Short Summary PROS: COMBAT - Loved the combat system but it is bugged as hell. Not a fan of traditional FPS Dungeon Crawler combat systems so
switch to tactical turn based is a huge plus in my book. If it wasnt so damn bugged. Skills not working, cant move characters, HP not showing properly, awful framerate... PUZZLES - Truly amazing Puzzle designs. Also they are introduced in proper way. Game first gives you an easy ones to figure out mechanics and then switches to tougher ones every time you encounter a new puzzle system. Big plus. MUSIC & AUDIO - Best audio I have ever heard. Melodies when picking up items, music, voiceover (for the most part), bard in combat tunes... Second to none. SECRETS - Lots of secret rooms and things to find but... CONS: LOOT - ...loot you get is sometimes not even worth item investment to get to it. Once I had 7 helmets in inventory and not a single greatsword. Uneven and overall bad loot distribution. GRAPHICS - Ugliest game i've ever played. Muddy textures, pop in, horrible character models... Blind people are the only ones who can enjoy this. TECHNICAL ISSUES - FPS drops, stuttering, bugs, bugs, game breaking bugs, bugs, bugs, crashes, long loading times (better after patch but still...), disapperaing items...One of the worst experiences i've had so far in my life when it comes to games and technical aspect of it. BAD DESIGN DECISIONS - No quick save, lots of backtracking, inconsistent enemy levels, mastering skills is just a bad decision because skills are limited already with action points, inventory with no sort option.... HORRIBLE MAP NO STATS EXCEPT FROM EQUIPMENT REVIEW BOARD IS POINTLESS GAME LACKS ANY CHARM AND PERSONALITY - Occasional Easter Egg or funny dialogue between the characters will make you laugh but for the most part its just not there. BAD STORY - There is a wizard. And another wizard. And another wizard. Kill em all. The end. DWARVES - These aren't dwarves. These creatures look like bums from ghetto that can't grow hair anymore due to old age. SCORE 5/10 for people who love new combat system 3/10 for people who hate new combat system Just too many bad decisions and bugs. It baffles me how some1 can release this turd at this state. Next to this ME Andromeda looks like well polished product. There are some good things but all of them will come in second place after prolongued period of game time cause all the issues will gnaw at your brain constantly not letting you enjoy anything properly. Stay away.
