Yeah I read CAD every day, and that's his opinion. My opinion was for me.
I'm one of those people who always says you should try something rather
than damn it, and yes it sounds like I haven't done that because I haven't
bought Conan... However, in this case my dislike of the game is
fundamental.
I dislike the Beat Em Up style they use for combat. I dislike the standard
"Go and kill ten rabbits" and "collect four bottles" quests. I dislike the
"rooftop and stealth" quests which in actual fact turned out to be killing
things and going up and down ladders. I dislike a lot of the game, the
stuff that won't change from beta to launch.
My opinion isn't based on performance, lag, graphics or anything else,
just the fundamentals which haven't changed.
Getting back to my original comment, if you ARE interested in hooking up
with my friends, they're on the EU server Ymir (I think it's called). Look
for members of The Brotherhood, or, alternatively, post on their forum in
the guest section (forum.tbhg.org) and say Shader sent you.
