Why are people praising this game?

[Gul Bjorn]

I really don't get it. this game, in all areas (except landscape art) is mediocre at best. I'm amazed it got the pre-release reviews it did. Have game critics become some blazeh? Are people truly so incapable of giving criticism? I really don't want to be the one to say " the world is now filled with sensitive snowflakes, and to say anything negative will get you punished somehow" but I remember reading gaming magazines in 2000, and they had no problem calling new games what they were.
That said, here comes all the people that would argue Ocarina of time holds up after 21 years.

It has its good parts.

The first few hours of playing Greedfall I thought it was atrocious. UI, textures, writing, skill tree, clunky movement and combat, etc.

The more I've played however, the more the game has grown on me. The soundtrack is fantastic, the landscapes (as you mention) are stunning, combat has improved greatly since I turned hybrid between melee and magic, the writing has improved a lot since the Prologue (still some wtf moments regarding logic but it's better at least), and I've gotten used to the UI.

It's enjoyable, above all else.

[SuccyB]

Because they enjoy it???

[XYoukaiX1]

Well it IS a nice game and sadly there are not many games of this kind...

[Mondtor]

The unique fresh setting, the landscapes... but in my opinion Spiders should go more towards Bioware than Ubisoft..hopefully in GreedFall 2...

It's a very low budget BioWare game. These guys have a long way to go to even reach half of the quality of older BioWare games.

I gotta admit I'm not feeling it I bought the ps4 version and even tho the story is good I think it's because the combat is so bland and boring.
I'l get back to it eventualy but I much preffered vampyr.

The game received positive reviews because it is a mid-shelf game made by a mid-shelf developer. Games should be reviewed based on the appropriate standards. A game created by about 50 people with $3,000,000 should not be directly compared to a game made by hundreds of people with $265,000,000.
People like the game because it is an involved, traditional RPG like the kind that Bioware used to make before they got the EA cancer and started vomiting up Anthem.

Are you confused to see that people have other ideas and preferences?

So virulence in that statement, but still an opinion simply. Opinion, not a fact.

[Lλmbdλ]

Fact ? Laziness : All great QG have the same structure inside
And this is for the most of the buildings

Laziness in the environement, "beautiful" but empty

Laziness on the writing ... seriously, anyone think that is how to make an relationship real ???
Basicly turn amical to Ô TAKE ME MY LORD I WAIT FOR THIS SO LONG with nothing in between

Yes there is opinion, but you can't avoid the facts of the flaws

[Gvyomar]

Flaws, cause nothing is perfect. But the weight that every gamer decide related of faults is opinion always, not fact. So for you is laziness. For other player(s), maybe no.

Fact is: your heart will stop totally in certain moment of future (maybe 30 years, maybe in 40 minutes), and your brain will die. The same with me and the heart and brain of other livings.

See you.
