| Legend11 said: I can't believe you find the Ultima series mediocre. I admit the last 2 games in the series were terrible but the first 7 games broke new ground with each release and Ultima 7 with all the addons was amazing. I have a feeling you didn't play the games when they were released (especially Ultima 3, 4, and 5) otherwise your opinion of the series would likely be different. |
I first started playing rpgs in 1982. I did play most of the Ultimas when they came out. I played III so much that I filled every space on the map with unopened chests just for kicks (and because there was nothing else to play). I agree that they broke new ground, and I did enjoy playing most of them, but none of them were great to me. Some of them were fairly good games (and I understand why many love them), but as the series went on they got more and more preachy.
My prediction (Jan 15th, 2008), total sales by end of 2008:
Wii - 35 million
X360 - 25 million
PS3 - 21 million
