Review: N3II Ninety-Nine Nights

[StarStruckStrumpets]

My brother got the first game as a gift. He never touched it again after he found actual good hack and slash games. I tried playing it only to find out just how awful it was. Looks like this is going to be the same (minus us actually getting it).

My big question here is this: Why did they not rename this? Most people have forgotten about N3 as well as who developed it, so this was an opportunity to actually sell more before the reviews came in. People looking for a new IP would buy it, as would people who liked the cover, or other strange reasons some people buy games. You didn't have to name it as a sequel. Look, the people who buy sequels are more often than not the people who played the original. If the original was bad, most of those people won't buy the sequel, even if you improve it a lot (who here is going to give Two Worlds 2 a chance?). Even though a lot of games these days are sequels, that doesn't mean all of them have to be.

Ugh...thanks for reminding me about Two Worlds (shudders) lol

I will, because I fucking loved the first game, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Also, I'll be getting this, because I LOVED N3. Aspharr just hauled ass.

Well this was your opinion and I can understand that. But I bought the game as soon as I could and I like it. Many things that are repetitive to many people don't really bother me and I like the massively long range melee attacks. While I do like this game it does get hard at certain areas. But difficulty was something the first game had a massive problem with. Enemies were far too weak and only some of the bosses were a challenge but those that were had way too much power. But I liked the first game and I like this one as well.

Uf! What a great timing! Thank you for the review. I just saw this game today and considered it. I'm happy I did not yield to my capitalist impulse to just get it since I had money.

my favorite Xbox 360 game was the first Ninety-nine-Nights

i loved to kill armys in secs and i love the characters

so this Review is false in my book...i played the demo and i fell inlove with it

so now im gonna get it to prove you guys wrong

and yes im a fantasy nerd...you got a problem with that?

busty elf maidens-the only reason this game got any stars

My thought exactly.

OT: During you vid you can actually hear your disappointment in the game. The choice of words from 1:40 to 1:50, you little *sigh* at 1:55 and the "Haha"-comment just give away everything you wanted to say about this game.

Good review, I hope for you that there are some better games in your line-up.

Two thumbs down for N3 2.

 

[Applejack]

I got all the achievements in the first game but this sounds like it has every problem the first one did and nothing added to it.

 

[ImpostorZim]

Damn. That's strange... I actually enjoyed playing N3, but from the looks of it, this sequel really isn't even worth trying.

If im honest, ive never seen you review a game on this site before, but i liked that review alot, you were brutally honest and i like that in a reviewer

Anyway, enough brown-nosing. OT: I never really liked NNN 1 so i had no interest in even looking at the 2nd one, but my mate loved the first game and he only ever buys like one game a year and i was kinda hoping he would buy the new halo so i could check it out, maybe ill show him this review.. *Fingures crossed*

 

[DEATHROAD]

That must be the harshest review I've seen on the Escapist so far.

wait what?

Have i strumbled into some strange universe where yahtzee doesent review games for the Escapist?!

This is my second favorite hack & slash game of all time! My first favorite is the Devil May Cry Series, but anyway this game is awsome. I hate reviewers that totally insults a game while they're reviewing it. I'm not saying you should complement it. I'm saying you should be more neutral with it. I mean only telling the details about it instead of adding your own nasty opinions to it!
