Deus ex HR: The graphics were hardly any better than ME2 and the roleplay was non-existant, Killer blowitallup lonewolf Jenson was the same guy as sneaky pacifist lonewolf Jenson. Alpha protocol was better.
Yes, it's hard to pin down. Like it's missing a heart and soul, that extra dimension that keeps it from being flat. It's what gets left out or replaced with glitter, when the creator's try to 'improve' the next version.vometia wrote...
...but for me it's just lacking some sort of spark. I can't say exactly what, but Morrowind had it, Oblivion had it, even the recent Fallouts had it, but Skyrim doesn't have it. I keep using the word "charmless": I feel very little "pull".

I don't understand your logic. Skyrim is a vast improvement over Oblivion(Morrowind, fair enough).
It just does not compute.
Obviously, you strayed off topic. So why not tell us what is your most disappointing Game or games of 2011 now that we know Deus Ex HR isn't one of them? Thank you.Andarthiel_Demigod wrote...
Apart from the boss fights, you are mistaken. Obviously you didn't play the game properly.lobi wrote...

Im sure DA3 will get it back together
I think what Nerdage said on the last page about it having the least interesting characters is a large part of the problem too. I never really seem to feel much connection to anyone or anything I'm doing; strong characters have never been Bethesda's strong suit, but in previous games they've been "good enough", whereas most of Skyrim's characters are instantly forgettable and mostly rather uncharismatic.CenturyCrow wrote...

I had a chance to play the DA2 demo at Comic Con almost a year before launch, and I had a pretty good idea of what the game was going to be like.
Other than a few gripes like the reverse fedex sidequests, no ability to fully commit to the apostates or templars, etc., I really enjoyed the game, ended up logging a few hundred hours with two characters and I still might go back to it .
On the other hand, I was looking forward to Witcher 2 for quite a long time, pre-ordered it more than six months in advance, and sadly it played like a slideshow on my computer.
Granted, I don't have the greatest gaming pc, but i'm able to play most games at 1080p and Witcher 2 runs horribly even at the lowest settings. As a result of the lag / low frame rate, the controls were very unresponsive and I think my enjoyment of the game suffered.
I also found the game world's slightly more open areas to be frustrating. They were almost open world, but then every time I run into a tiny puddle or stream, I run smack into an invisible wall, which is sometimes crossable 2 inches to the left, etc. It was like teasing me with the illusion of an "almost" open world. It might seem counterintuitive, but this didn't really bother me in games like DA2 that don't really have any large open areas.
Also the A.I. pathing for most enemies was rather odd - if you take two steps backward, they stop chasing you and allow you to heal. I hope there is a mod that addresses this issue.
I'm planning to dive back into Witcher 2 at some point, perhaps I will try running at a lower resolution. I was just disappointed with how poorly it runs and during the little bit of the game that I played (about 15 hours), I missed some of the soulfulness of great moments of Witcher 1, where, for example, you get completely hammered with Zoltan and Dandelion, then unceremoniously dumped on the doorstep of either Triss or Shandi, only to be thoroughly reamed and all the while your vision is still blurry from getting drunk.
That was probably the defining moment of Witcher 1 for me. I hope there are similar moments in Witcher 2.

Every JRPG still being made.
Is it the 16 bit graphics that makes it different?

Oh you might have gotten some "Lols" if that blantant remark had any truth to it. @_@ Really what is it with this site and all the damn hipster like Opinions?

DA2, a game that had so much potential but sadly it was rushed and only half complete.

Spell Creation was immensely important for my ability to role play, without it magic became pointless to me.
I posted it on the previous page, it was The Old Republic(compelte waste of download). Although FEAR3 came close, I didn't hate it butI feel that they could have at least given it a more engaging single player experience instead of focusing solely on co-opCenturyCrow wrote...

That old spell creation system was terrible. It was overly restrictive, I could never make the spell I wante because the game kept going"no, you don't".
