I played PC version on the highest setting(HD4850) not in highest resolution (on 720p with AA actually) and I can say Character design is decent , environment is FLAT,character animation is good..

btw I played this game for more than (estimate!)40 hours (Level 23 mage, and a lvl 14 warrior) and never saw a HOURSE in this game ! :P there is dogs all over the place, I saw a Cow,rabbit,dragon... etc but no horse !

:P jk. this game is AMAZING , dialogs are unbelievably well designed.

good job Bioware
9.5 (imo , not 10 just cuz of last-gen graphics)

EDIT: oh my god!!! I saw Morrigan's Nipples! lol what a Sick mod! btw her face is changed as well, I like the orginal face more.

champ215252d ago

agreed this game is simply amazing.

played the pc version, the game requires so much strategy and planning which is why i love the pc version.

definetly my GOTY.

JonnyBigBoss5252d ago

The game looks outstanding on medium/high settings for me.

Baka-akaB5252d ago

The "hd retextures" (emphase on the "" since bioware only got access to the real hd textures , but havent released them yet) have been a godsend .

Some of the animation is still a bit iffy , but now indeed the game looks gorgeous on pc .

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion493d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad493d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90493d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183493d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90493d ago (Edited 493d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde493d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90493d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde493d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator493d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13493d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183493d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
