    Rise of the argonauts...

    Anyone got this game yet? Been out since the 13 of december for america(my uncle bought it for me over there, i had to pay though ). Have to say its **** or a total disapointment.

    I was waiting for ages for this game(delays >.<) and now i really am not enjoying it, cut scenes(which rpgs are good for) is bad quality much like command and conquer original/tibierum wars which had an excuse but this doesnt. Graphics are OK people look shocking and it really seems like they ignored that(jason is the best but only from ur view), controls seem to console like and no freedom like a pc game should have. It seems buggy as hell with sounds being out of sync (shield attack etc), very unstable fps and just in general a failure.

    Anyone else think the same? Is a patch planned yet?. I will try and find some good points for the game when i get chance, so far its just flawed lol.

    It got a battering on Eurogamer, three out of ten! http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ri...nauts-review_1

    Just looks like a bad game to me, and thus filed in the not for me section.

    Re: Rise of the argonauts...

    I didnt know it was a pure console port . Its really depressing that the consoles are actually ruining GOOD quality games as it is all cut down for them to run it and then that is transfered to pc.

    I was so looking forward to this game, all i found fun so far is the combat with a spear +shield bashing reminds me of 300 but thats it and apparently the music is good as its composed by the same team that worked with 300 development.

    Any good RPG's released recently that i should get then?

    edit: it really is a bad port, looking at reviews it scores highly on 360 (and ps3 i think) and yet pc gets <6. Codemasters seem to think its not a problem, i can see a poor port when they dont even have options for graphics(only res) and no sli/crossfire support!.

    If you want a good RPG, get Fallout 3. Great, that.
