i think the basic idea was good but everything else well sucked

[magnus652]

even when i was scripting this review i felt like i was trying to convince my self that it was better than i though t it was. the really bad thing that was overlooked when they made the game was how it would translate into actual role playing.

Well, you're a ghost, and you are up against other ghosts in Ghostworld...

@ProfessionalWhiteGuy wraith might have been depressing, but not morbid, or why do you think it's morbid?

@Asuka321

Well, you can surely roleplay out the Sin-Eater losing control. Think of it this way; you have a voice in your head, and at 7 Synergy, it whispers, but at 3 Synergy, it's screaming at you to do awful things, and you are having serious trouble not bending to it's will.

Yeah, the Manifestations are totally broken, but the basic premise of Geist was good. I particularly enjoyed how they didn't go all-out morbid and depressing (Wraith, anyone?) with this one, but rather they made an effort to show the positive side of death.

the first part of this made me lol to the second part i agree they talk about "as synergy goes down your control goes down" but they dont have any mechanics for this
