I must say I didnt expect much of AP. Following its development, looking gameplay videos (that strange sneak animation) , having game delayed suddenly for so long, and last but not least knowing Obsidian's knack for releasing unpolished games.
But I got the game.
And to my surprise - It is truly a good game!
I am way past 2/3 of the game right now. Going full stealth option.
Let me touch on some of criticism reviews branded the game with:
1.Stealth is not up to par with Splinter Cell / Thief
- Its different mechanic, stealth in this game is Metal Gear Solid stealth
2.Shooting gameplay is not that good.
-Its way better than Mass Effect 2. And that one got raving reviews
3.Dialogue is not good.
- What ? Trust me - its OBSIDIAN game.
4.Bugs
- Ok, I played 18+ hours and so far didnt see one bug. Am I so lucky ?
5.Bad animations & graphics
- I am professional animator and am very critical of that stuff. Its simply not true.
Even the dreaded sneak animation actually works great when you play. Graphics is very good ( its not Mass Effect 2 , but shall we now give bad reviews to anything that has not have 100 million dollar production budget ? )
And by the way levels design is far far far better and more varied than ME2.
Last but not least the gameplay is fun and engaging, there is never a dull moment. And game has crazy replayability.
So why such bad reviews ? Care to explain this to me ?
