I don't know anything about this game in particular, but generally I don't disagree with the idea that games can be reviewed by people who aren't fans of the genre.
The car/motorcycle comparison is, I think, kinda off, since this IS an RPG, and the guy mentions Planescape: Torment, which, I think, clearly means that he does like good RPGs. Yes, apparently he does not like D&D, but what can you do; giving the review to a D&D nerd might also skew the review. And, either way, I think reviewers with no personality/personal preferences are worthless when internet is available to everyone and there are already a million sites that offer the same objective, dry reviews and all give games virtually the same scores (just look at Gamespot/IGN). Besides, 5/10 is not a terrible score, and apparently there are other faults with the game as well (see penultimate paragraph in Brady's quote). I actually think it's kinda shitty that mediocre games always get 7/10 (reviews in Edge being one of the few exceptions, I think). Jam it back in, in the dark. Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of |
