Has anyone played through this game entirely? It isa great open ended experience (I think) It reminds me alot of playing AD&D (table top) with my friends (AD&D not other tabletop roleplaying). Like other tabletop games you prettymuch just have a world set up for you and the DM just arages it around you.

The other day I was broke, you see, so I was roaming around looking for rare herbs and was taking a dip in the river. Well, I noticed that there was a shell at the bottem of the lake. So I picked it up and looked in it and there was a pearl! So I spent the rest of the day diving to the bottem of the lake opening up more shells and found over $1000 in pearls. When I got done swimming, and killing slaughterfish, I noticed that it was getting dark so I decided to rest for the night. After killing a couple of Mud Crabs and Dispersing of their corpses I claimed a spot on the lake front. In the middle of the night my sleep was interuppted by a pack of rats. I killed them and then slept through the rest of the night!

That is just a small blerb of what I actually did one of the days in the game. Seems boring but I actually had alot of fun! I wonder how this game would do in Japan (I think poorly). On toppic I just wanted to know if anyone has beat the game? I get too distracted and have barley finished the first mission.

I only have one gripe about the game. There is no timer (that I can find) and also the manual leaves you wondering what some effects are for potions and herbs are. And 3rd person mode is pointless. I got the game for the Xbox, I may pick it up for the PC depending on how inventive people get with the world creator!

Wait for the PC versiona bit longer, its super buggy and you need a beefed up computer to run it. If you are worried about add-ons and such, i think they are making a expansion pack like they did with DOA 3, so hold on to your money.

Other than that, yeah, its an awesome game.

Woahhhhh! The Xbox version is recommended over the PC version.

Anyways a review that I read said that the game was designed for a mid-range PC (I have a decently beefed up PC though) But what have you heard about the expansion pack? I subcribed to Xbox magizine just because they are distributors of the expansions. What may be included in the expansion?

Any ways, the Xbox version has bugs too though. I got a damn good deal on the game and I would pick it up for the PC depending on that world creator and what people would home brew!

I still wish that I knew how much time I am wasting on this game

At this point yeah i guess i can recommend the XBOX version over the PC one because you are guaranteed to play the game (since all XBOXes are the same and PCs are all much different so they wont all work nicely.) But the PC is nice of course because of the tools available to create your own stuff.

My PC copy is sitting on my desk, the only thing that works properly is the art book and the small figurine :)
