My Game of Thrones RPG review!

[Xannidel]

Hello everyone! Just received my Game of Thrones RPG for PS3 and I am completely shocked at how awesome the game is, reading and watching reviews made it out to be this horrible piece of crap but I am happy to say that every reviewer is full of shit. I will agree that the graphics could have been better but SO WHAT! How many people play the game for the graphics when the gameplay is just as much fun? The plot is pretty interesting so far and I hear the voice acting was bad? They had THREE voice actors from the freaking TV show come in and use BOTH their voices AND they made the character models just like the actors. How many video games based on tv shows/movies use even ONE voice actor?
The combat is a little odd at first but playing around with it you start to get a feel for it. During conversations you do have choices and what you pick will affect your game later on. The interesting thing for me was when you start your characters you have to "balance" them with these lists of passives and some are good and some are bad and you have to pick which ones you want but for every good passive picked you have to pick a bad passive (or more) that add up to that good passive (Don't worry there are little circles to help indicate how many good/bad passives you need to pick to get balanced).

If you are a Game of Thrones fan then I would suggest you pick this up and give it a shot. I have not tried the other Game of Thrones game but i am starting to think it is also not as bad as other people make it out to be.

I think the problem is that reviewers are spoiled by AAA games so when a smaller company (this team is like 30-36 members) comes in with a good game, they get shit on because it is not up to par with other games that had 100s of people work and test their game. Hell more AAA games are nothing more then sequels or prequels now a day so they are not even ORIGINAL. I know a video game based off a TV show is not as original either but at least this game tries to stray off the TV shows path to form it's own unique story.

I can go into more detail if need be.
