Maybe I just don't enjoy this style of gaming, but I don't understand why anyone would spend time playing this...The graphics weren't smooth. If you havent played this game before I would suggest against it
It's a great game. There are 3 classes to choose from, so there's definitely some replayability. I honestly can't find anything that I dislike about the game.
Is runs great on my Mid 2010 13" Macbook and looking better than ever. Plays smooth and runs fine.
It's cool to have a starwars classic like this available on Mac. It's still holds up and is just good fun. The staple starwars sounds are partly what make this game great. And the voice acting it good too. But I find it hard, so I'm playing on East so I can see more of the game. And the levels seem farly large too, which makes for lots of exploring and going in circles.
Pros: Runs Smooth Looks Great Large Levels Cool Sounds Voice Acting
If your a fan of the Walking Dead series, either the comic books or the show, then you'll like this game. It's all about the story and characters, and puts you in control of how they act and what they choose to do.
You go through the game in chapters, like TV episodes. The game play is basic timing stuff, but that's fine, cause it makes it up in everyother way.
You really feel the tension of this zombie wasteland as you desperately try to keep your group alive, quite frequently having to make touch decisions.
What can I say, it's exactely what you expect with from the Assassin's Creed lineage. The graphics are outstanding as always and the gameplay is just like all of the other Assassin Creed games.
*Note/Edit: Though my Mid 2010 13" Macbook meets all of the requirements, it still just barely plays. Even on the lowest settings it was just too choppy for me to play. This is the second game I've bought on the Mac Game Store where my Mac met the requirements but was unplayable even on the lowest settings.
I played through Origins once, with a male human noble background. I liked how the background came up a few times. Nothing significant, although the male human noble does get an additional option at the Landsmeet.
I played as a cunning rogue with dual daggers, with Alistair as defender and the two wizards as backup. Lots of backstabbing was had. I quickly gave up on stealth though, as the visual effect of activating it resulted in a crash too often. Didn't need it anyway. I quickly scaled up the difficulty to the highest settings and still never died. It's not a hard game once you get a hold of the combat system.
The story is basically dealing with a recurring zombie apocalypse. Nothing fancy but it has its own bits of mythos that are interesting to learn more about. What makes it great is that most of the drama is about the people, not the darkspawn or demons. Most of the game is about uniting the people to face their common enemy. At some point I got fatigued by loads of sidequest though, so I took a break of a few weeks.
Awakening adds talking darkspawn to the mix, but I didn't consider that an improvement. It adds quite some content to the game, but the strength really lies with Origins.
You can configure your party member's AI, and when done right you never need to manually control anyone besides your main character. The only exception are magical area attacks, because they won't avoid friendly fire. It might take a while to find a good configuration, but the priorities boil down to save myself, safe my allies, disable enemy mages, disable highest-ranking enemy, deal damage.
Considering powers, there are many to choose from, but investigate before you do so. Check the Dragon Age wiki, because there are many bugged powers. Passive bonuses are great because you can only really use a few activated abilities in a fight. You'll like end up with more that you care for. You'll also discover that quite a few are straight upgrades that obsolete older choices. Besides that, some abilities that were great at low level will become useless later on, either because you can make do without them, or the enemies that matter are immune to them.
Awakening adds a lot more options and allows you to reach quite a high level. However you don't really need much of that. You end up with more abilities that you need, plenty of them duplicates, and you'll be so powerful nearly every fight is a joke even on the highest difficulty.
What drops the rating from four to three stars is the intermittent crashing, sometimes persistent at the same spot. I think it was always a problem with the visuals. Too many sustained abilities have FX, turning your party members into christmas trees. If you're stuck on a crash point, try shutting off all abilities. It weakens you, but at least it won't crash.
Love the graphica and the zooming in to see what the people and vehicles are doing. It takes a bit to get going but I love the challenge. If you like to plan and control cities this is great
This game is great for times when you dont really want to think too hard but have fun playing something. I was not sure if I would like it ut it has captivated me. Time to look for a few more of these to play
This game is as fun as it is disturbing! I bought this game after reading a review site of top mac games and had never heard of it. Thanks to MGS halloween sale I jumped at the chance to grab a bargain and I was not dissapointed, having completed the game now I would have happily paid full price for it. Do not let the black and white graphics put you off this game truly draws you in and has you smiling, scared, puzzled and perplexed throughout and I know I will not be the only one with goosebumps on reaching the end. N.B. the game can be tricky in parts but do not cheat, take some time to step away from it and you will have your eureka moment.
What a treat! So many "adventure/hidden object games" are the same story and pattern over and over again. I love this game because it fills me with wonder at every new scene. The HOS have a few new twists, which is nice, and the puzzles vary in difficulty from easy to "have to think". Thanks to the devs for thinking outside of the box!
This is a fun little game, kind of a "Torchlight Lite" if you will. It's a kinder, gentler hack-and-slasher in the Diablo genre. It gets kind of dull after awhile, but it's nice to come back to every now and again. Great voice talent.
Stürzt bei jedem Start ab - egal ob Window Modus oder Vollbild - egal welche Auflösung. Game ist der volle SCHROTT!! - KEINE Kaufempfehlung!!! (mein Mac: iMac - late 2013 - 3,7GHz - 32 GB RAM - 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX - OS X 10.10)
