| Marth said: Gothic 3 for me. I completely understand why its MC is as low as it is ( at 63 from 39 critics). At release it was a really buggy and rushed game and the official patches did little to improve that. Problems between developer PiranhaBytes and publisher JoWood caused the game to release in a unfinished state. Main story and performance lackluster, animations were robotic and so on. The game itself was quite ambitious. It was PiranhaBytes biggest game by far with 3 huge areas, lots of towns and quests and stuff to do and explore. And while playing it for the first time (without any patches) I experienced a lot of bugs and problems. But I didn't care in the grand scheme because I fell in love with the world and my character and my playthrough. I played this game for hours and hours. It is not a perfect RPG by any means but it was my kind of RPG. I could loot/steal everything I wanted. Helped factions, sabotaged the rest. Decimated the wildlife for more loot and just loved being in this world. To this day this game has a very special place in my heart. |
Yeah, Gothic 3 immediately popped to my mind as well - one of my all time favourites that was really broken when it launched, yet I've enjoyed it thoroughly even in that shape. I can't really think of any other game that has so much difference between quality of actual game and its Meta (which is, generally, horseshit at showing how good any game actually is anyway).
