Age of Decadence Reviews

[Whisper]

Also, is there a honourable, good path?

Without lying, decieving, betraying?

IG path? Though it starts quite awkward but that is not your fault.

Someone at CD-Action forum has said that he loves turn based games, especially Fallout and Jagged Alliance 2 but Age of Decadence is just too hard for him. He whines that even when he used cheat engine and he had infinite amount of AP he still couldn't land a hit. What a retard.

Maybe some Pole with better English skills could translate more - this guy is something else.

Congratulations on the first review where the reviewer seems to have played the game at least past the first town and actually tried out the combat!

A positive youtube review:

"It's a great game", "diamond in a rough", "has a ton of replayability".

Linos? Isn't he Hector?

 

[Lurker King]

Best character since Dak'kon!

I changed my avatar. Anybody who look at this post will think you are referring to Hector, not Miltiades.

disagree with "pretty buggy at launch", I've had 2 crashes in 4,5 playthroughs + some typos + 1 specific camera issue and you really only mention a crash, this would be a 11/10 GOTY EDITION release state for all the AAA games
it reads as if you need to actually put some more cons in there to make it feel more legitimate

cons - not enough cons

True, I had to struggle to think of the cons but I did run into multiple crashes, some of which happened in the most inopportune moments.

Multiple as in 3 or 23? It's your review, I'm just saying that this statement doesn't seem adequate to me.

Somewhere around 10 to 15. Anyway, played a few hours over the past days and had no crashes, I'll add a few lines mentioning that it's a smoother experience now. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah well I haven't read all of the review yet. It's just that this immediately stood out to me.
10-15 is a high number so I agree it's justified to mention it. I would have said the game crashed a lot instead "it's buggy" but ok.

 

[Wolfe]

No problem, I've only recently started writing reviews so any type of feedback is welcome.

Yeah, crashed a lot it's a better fit than buggy. Buggy usually is more associated with broken quests, bad triggers, etc, while crashes is usually more about different computers being more prone to crash due to base engine issues. My two cents, of course

Good point, I corrected it.

I'd like to add that I hate when some reviews handwave such distinctions because it hurts the game and is not honest. Especially for a game like AoD, had I had even the tiniest suspicion that the quest scripts were bugged upon release, I wouldn't have played it because it's the most important thing in the game. Because you guys did such a good job of making sure that everything works and the player is safe from the game breaking down on him and considering how intertwined and complicated all the quests are, the review would be factually incorrect or at best ignorant and would hurt the game. In a game like this, the player must be able to trust the devs to not fuck it up by being lazy and ITS have earned this trust. I never felt the need to check some guide to make sure a quest isn't broken as I do in practically every game (and I'm often correct in thinking it's bugged).

It had those too.

 

[Elhoim]

It had those too.

Yeah. Not saying the game is absolutely perfect, I'm fixing a few issues on Ganezzar, which was the least tested part (especially when you start doing strange combinations of events, especially with the Abyss), but I'm quite happy with the state of the scripting.

From what I can tell he considers this game very interesting but hates graphics.
