Yes, I know that this is the 'spoiler' part of the forum, but since reading this pretty much ruins the ending for people who haven't played through it, I thought I'd write a warning anyways
Let me start off by saying that Risen is a great game, I enjoyed it quite a lot. The monsters were somewhat of a challenge, the graphics were pretty, and the storyline was.. decent.
However.. it seems strange to me that the climax of the game, the final bossfight against a titan, is more like Mario fighting Bowser on supermario than anything else.
What the "#¤%&/ put them on the idea of making the FINALE of a game that has been mainly about learning how to fight mobs in a pretty unique way (well, as melee anyways, dunno about casters/ranged characters) into a PLATFORM challenge?!? And on top of that, a stupendously easy one (on normal at least.. the bossfight was so lame that I don't feel like replaying it on hard).
I'm a little bit disappointed to be honest =( I would much rather fight that titan in melee combat or something like that....Running around, collecting armor and a awesome mace (and 2h axe ) feels a little bit wasted, knowing that the only reason for doing so is to look cool when jumping around on a stupid platform ._.
Once you've gotten the hang of it, it's so easy that it's actually hard to be hit by... pretty much any of the bosses attacks. =(
And the boss doesn't even have a friggen HP bar! I'm sure I could poke it with a carrot, and still win, as long as I poked it the right ammount of times (which coincidentally would be the exact same ammount as you'd have to hit it with the mace..)
Bah! /rant
Still a great game, but the ending.... grrr.
