If you are going to do a serious rating / review of the game, at least tell everyone what are you rating this game against? Comparison is needed here.
Say what? Is this a new official forum rule? Or is this just some random poster named AuraofMana pretending to be a site administrator? As long as we discuss Awakenings, we can frame our threads here however we want. You're in no position to dictate the terms. But thanks for the presumptious input!
But hey, so as not to be seen as a complete ass, I'll take your advice. Here's my review w/ comparisons! Ready?
ReviewThis game is a cheaply-made, rushed turd. Comparison: like the brown stuff I just recently secreted into the toilet. No wait. It's worse. The brown stuff I recently secreted didn't cost me $40 bucks.
Game play wise, Awakenings was unbalanced, bugged and uninspired. The plot-pacing was un-natural and awkward. As a self-proclaimed
expansion, Awakenings completely trashes absolutely everything that made Origins a masterpiece: Dialogue, combat, depth.
It was SHORT by expansion standards: Comparison: it was half as long as HoTU. Half as long as SoU. A third as long as Thone of Bhaal. It was half as long as MoTB. And just to kick us in the balls again, someone decided to make it 25% more expensive.
Rating:
I dislike ratings. But, again, I'll take your suggestion. Awakenings has earned its 3.5 rating. That's right. 3.5 out of 10. An F. The only reason why I didn't give it a ZERO is that at least it doesn't ruin Origins. It leaves it untouched. Which is good, because I'm gonna go back to playing Origins now, and pretend that Bioware didn't just flush their reputation down the toilet with the TURD that they just secreted.
Happy?
