The bad thing about this game is that it is very, very easy and it doesn't offer anything new to the genre. In fact if Nicole was starring instead of Sylvie you wouldn't understand any difference.

My interpretation of this: Taurnil didn't like the game due to its apparent lack of intellectual challenge and resourcefulness.  

This certainly is fine as all of us are equally free and are encouraged to express personal thoughts and opinions.  Somehow though, the word bad just seemed to come out at me awkwardly  I thought, or perhaps simply just out of context.  i.e. "Oh, the Scorpio Ritual? I thought it was a bad game because it was too easy.  Oh, the Witcher? I thought it was a bad game becasuse it was too difficult and I couldn't finish it."  On the contrary,  there are those of us (just from this thread) who at times yearn for something on the easy side, just like me once in a while, and in this case having the difficultly level being where it is was turned out just fine.  (I know there's probably a smartash out there thinking "well if THIS guy finished without any external help, then the game really must be bad."

 Sorry.

By the way, it's been faily well established imo that City Interactive has attempted to address this issue in AofM2.  Perhaps even more than necessary based on a few complaints I've seen.

Meghan is right. The down side of the game to me was easy. The fact is that I am really demanding when an adventure game comes forth! I can't bear anymore games that don't offer stg different but show the same aspects that are boring again and again. This particular game was a rake-off by all means. Surely the graphics were nice and Sylvie was cute but what did the game give us to be exhilarated? The same scenario (a conspiracy), someone that has disappeared (her uncle), some bad guys wanting stg which is lethal for the human race. How many adventures have this plot that we've seen many times before? Of course an adventure might be a masterpiece by all means including everything I said before but the abscence of progressive ideas is the crux of the problem.

As for the Witcher I never said that it was bad because it was too difficult for me to finish. The Witcher is a marvellous game, absolutely fascinating and trail-blazer, that gave breath of life to crpg's. It has the standard characteristics of an rpg but it has this thing that makes it differ from lots of games of its genre.

Personally I don't yearn for stg on the easy side as far as I am concerned. Of course I fully understand this mood for 'just a cup of tea' but I think that we must demand from the developers true and especial products such as games. We pay for them so they have to deserve it.

I'm not strict or harsh at you (Meg and Camaraboy). Don't have the impression that I brook no arguments. I just want quality and games that lead the way for the better!
