And another perspective... I picked it up for the Xbox 360 for $10, and I felt like I got a good deal. I had heard all of the negative press, so I went in expecting an absolute disaster. Instead, I got a badly flawed game, but not one without its good qualities. The framerate, voice acting, and narrative were abysmal. The visuals were mediocre, and the constant framerate hitches were pretty annoying. On the other hand, I enjoyed the combat, upgrades, exploration, and stacking.
It had a whole range of shortcomings, I won't deny that. I just didn't think it was the worthless piece of crap other people did. I enjoyed it more than Sacred 2 and Borderlands, for instance. You have to be able to overlook a lot of technical shortcomings, but I'm usually able to do that. I think "lowered expectations" helped me enjoy the game, too.
