I can put up with an average game with great story. The complaints in reviews are no worse than what I saw for The Last Templar. I will rent for now and buy later maybe.

It is worse than terrible. Something I would expect from the fifth gen of gaming. I cannot stress how bad this game is.

PS: The only issues this game really has are some minor bugs and repetitive gameplay. None of the bugs I`ve seen or heard about are game breaking but do provide a chuckle

Battleship is a AAA game compared to this. At lest they made an effort to make something special.. Thrones, in the absence of effort made RPG elements that are outdated.

(Not saying Battleship is great... Its not... Just way better than Thrones....)

Game got a 7.5 from OXM and RPGfan. ign reviews are laughable most of the time. I think your enjoyment off this will come down to how much you enjoy the story.

How big of a Game of Thrones fan are you? Also how do you like the story? I`ve heard high marks on the story.

I liked the story, but the mechanics are way outdated. (I have never seen GoT so cannot judge it as a franchise). The game just takes way too much effort to play.

A 7.5 in OXM is like a 2.0 in any other mag/review site. I dont believe anything in that garbage publication

I typically like RPGs. But, I struggled with this one in a big way. The story is AAA, but the game mechanics I found to be something I would expect from 2 gens ago.

LOL Really? OXM is 1 of the better publications when it comes to reviews. Them and Gameinformer I will trust way more than an IGN or Gamespot review or even Gametrailers.

Thats primarily because I actually read the reviews though and their reviews fit the score they give much better than the other publications most the time.

I`ve been a subscriber to OXM since 2002. Based on just reading reviews I bet I personally will give this around a 6.5 or 7.0.

So overall Neoratt it sounds like a game with good story but outdated gameplay mechanics and some bugs. The graphics look fine to me. Sounds like a decent rental then.

That's exactly why I dont subscribe anymore. They score shit games way to high. IGN is worse, I'll agree with that

All the magazines are controlled by advertising and publishers do the advertising so there is unwritten pressure not to score anything to low.

As for the game, story is good, graphics are fine, but the mechanics of gameplay are like they wanted to mimic mass effect on a movie game budget.

In the end I find it is just way too much game mechanics effort even though the story is outstanding.

It is disappointing. It could have been an 85%+ game had they spent more time flushing out the gameplay mechanics.

It's pretty bad and I've enjoyed many sub-par RPGs. Just seemed completely devoid of fun. I rented it and I'm sending it right back.

Yes, to me, they tried to accomplish too much on the game play mechanics and therefore didn't accomplish anything good.
