About my rating system.

Awful - Admit to liking this game and your friends and loved ones will forsake you. And you'll be arrested.

Bad - Really just a game for series/IP/genre diehards.

Okay - Not bad enough to be bad, not good enough to be good.

Good - Good ideas, good design, good execution. It's good.

Excellent - A very special layer of hell is reserved for people who don't own this game.

You're going to be stuck with this PC for quite some time, so a new sound card would be a blessing. You can find very decent ones dirt cheap.

You also mentioned that combat will show up later on in the game: Will you be able to use weapons of some sort, or is the combat limited to leading fireballs onto enemies?

[antisocialfatman]

@YoZ456 You don't use weapons, but it's not fireballs. It's not shown in the trailer so I'm not tellin', but its application as a combat tool is not good.

Raziel in Soul Reaver can't flap his wings like character in this game. His wings just keep him adrift when making long horizontal jumps that are on a bit of a slant. Still quite a good review.

[antisocialfatman]

@gilgamesh310 Thzt's what I said. She can glide like Raziel.

[PressXtonotdie]

@antisocialfatman What gilgamesh was saying is while similar, they're different because Raziel cannot rise himself up before gliding.

[antisocialfatman]

@PressXtonotdie I know, but I didn't say Raziel could do that. I just said they can both glide.

REVIEW WHAT I WANT YOU TO REVIEW NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO REVIEW/ARE CAPABLE OF REVIEWING.

How about no.

[lutherjacob]

Love your reviews man. Your seriously one of the most articulate and intelligent reviewers around, professional or not. But for the love of god. Review something that people actually give a fuck about. Dead Space 2 for example. Love your reviews though.

[HardWarUK]

Funny how indie games get reviewed dozens of times now on your tube, as do the big hyped AAA games, and yet the mid range games, like Drakensang or Two Worlds Two or STALKER take an age to get reviewed, if they ever are! Seems nowadays, you have to be a huge or tiny company, but a middle size company is meh!

Seeing quite a bit of lag during this video... Time for some upgrades ;D

@antisocialfatman Aye, I know mate, I was just clarifying what he meant for his sake to avoid any overly hostile whining from him. And the video was interesting, thank you.
