A game can be rated as "the greatest game ever" and still disappoint you, because, well, that's just personal opinion and you have your own tastes and playstyle.

I bought a bunch of games that were reviewed as complete junk and enjoyed them a lot. So, yeah.

it's supposed to be one of the greatest games ever, but it was incredibly boring.

Everything becomes boring when there's nothing it can reveal to you that you didn't comprehend previously. Blame your wisdom (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

If you're bored, you're boring.

If you're bored, you're boring.

You must be bored all the time.

Hundo percent, bru.

Also, [en.wikipedia.org] this is interesting, if not a bit... gerenal.

That's an interesting theory, rad.

Mostly Explorer, then Achiever. Not quite a Socializer, so I end up soloing or teaming up with my own accounts (when allowed).

For the Killer part, well, I hate PvP, but that might only be because I suck at it big time.

LLTYT : Fuck you, 502 Proxy Error. Can't complete the damn test.

Yup, that test it known and utilized by many game designers, who participated in specialist discussions I read.

So, if you call a black person a spade are you, in actuality, saying that they are exploratory and not actually using an epithet? Can I use that as an excuse to be racist?

Well, I didn't know about it. If the questions aren't random, question 24 is an obvious one for a Frenchie.

Might be interesting to create a thread about this if there isn't one already to compare our results, much like cappy's color vision test. Which I never took because I would probably have scored over 30 with my terrible eyesight. :3

EDIT : RESULTS BREAKDOWN: E.A.S.K.
Explorer: 120%, Achiever: 53%, Socializer: 53%, Killer: 7%

I lol'd.

I got 100% on all of it :-P.

Huh, that's really interesting...too bad the test kept giving me the 404 every few questions but I somehow made it to the end.

Achiever: 67%, Socializer: 60%, Explorer: 40%, Killer: 33%

Hmmmm...

Only if you are talking to someone who is aware of the Bartle Test. People tend to take anything as ethnic slur those days.

LLTYT : I've just realized that makes me 120% black.

The test itself and the questions aren't used, it's an idea that people participate in games as Achievers, Socializers, Killers and/or Explorers that plays a part in design to enhance game's appeal.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree with it and certain games/movies, but that wasn't the case in this situation.

I think the fact that you spend over 30 minutes with each and every nameworthy character clicking through tons and tons of dialogue options in a game with almost no fighting got me tired of it. The fights were few, and I mean VERY few. I played it for like 25 hours and I remember only a handful a fights from the very beginning. I'm all for story-driven plot, but I don't go into an RPG expecting it to be little more than an interactive visual novel. And a pretty buggy one at that. Even with all sorts of mods and fixes, I found the controls and the HUD clunky and restrictive. After 25 hours my four characters were levels 6, 6, 5, and 5/4 (a multiclass character). The big praise about this game was supposed to be the story and deep main character, but I found both to be mediocre at best.

Sounds like your typical D&D spinoff.

Hah, I'd be just like Tom if I ever got to play D&D. I'd be completely blitzed and driving home drunk by the end of the night. And at least one person will be naked, even if it has to be me.

I really, REALLY feel like picking up pen and paper games again now. :3

I would be playing the fuck out of D&D if people around here weren't total shit at it.

What do you mean by "here"?

The world.
