Game News M&B 1.003 now available for download

That's a lot of words to say very little.

I don't even understand the point about Ultima VII. Who felt like they needed to advance the plot before they could just wander aimlessly?

I still don't see where Armagan said mount&blade would focus on story. He said the game would have a story, that's not quite the same.

Obviously at some point he decided that the five kingdoms in conflict was as good a background for the game as a story would be, so he dropped the story.

I'm playing M&B 1.003 and I'm having a blast. Sure, sometimes I'm wondering just what the hell I should do now, but doing quests for nobles, building my little town up and just kicking some enemy ass is fun enough right now. If I want something more, I'll check out one of the many mods.

Apparently PC Zone UK has just given it 62%... now what a surprise that is.

It gets even better if this quote is true:

An anorexic "Oblivion" set in a budget version of Tolkien's Rohan.

I'd like to read the proper text of the review before I'd pass judgement.

If you insist (though you're wasting your time):

That article feels like freeware.

I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it. Why don't hack writers like that starve in the streets like they deserve.

I am not expecting a quality read, but it's only fair to read a little before raging.

Our national rag has an awful games review section on Fridays, and gave it 4/5. Pleasant surprise, the guy seems to have hidden good taste that he slips up and reveals every now and again.

I did read it. It was worth its price since it was free, and short enough to not be a big waste of time.

He's looking at it from a different viewpoint than I and most others here would, but I can understand his sentiments. The game doesn't really deserve a high score.

But one could at least take the time to come up with actual reasons why the game doesn't deserve a high score, unlike that god awful review.

 

[Fez]

Indeed. I also prefer to see it justified in text. It's just as bad as an overall negative review of a AAA title that ends in a 90+% score.
