While the actual game play and combat may be quite good, I just can't divorce my gaming experience from its visuals. This is true for all the games I play. Maybe I'm odd, but if the look of a game doesn't add to the immersion, I just can't get into it. It doesn't mean I'm hung up on graphics or visuals. The graphics of an old game like Gothic 1 & 2 are not off-putting to me. But they do have to match the milieu of the game. Yes, this game features costumes roughly appropriate to 18th century France. The characters wearing them? No.[/QUOTE
Well I find it highly misleading to have an art style like that and not have it reflected in the game mechanics as well. Highly misleading, an art style like that without any cheesy romantic plot or mechanic is just disappointing. It, it makes me so mad.
