A game that disappointed? Hmm, let's think... Usually I buy games that I know are worth it too. Ah, I got it.

Wizardry 8 - now this is a game where I awaited continued fun from Wizardry 7. I didn't get as much as I hoped. I mean, ok, there were loads of new weapons, and monsters, and spells... And you could import some items from previous Wizardry to this one. There was only one thing that annoyed, but it was the most important one.
In Wizardry 7 you can avoid random battles by saving a game before and reload if you wasn't in the mood to fight. You can even let the number of enemies in the pre-determined battles vary that way. In Wizardry 8, this isn't possible. You can save the game so far away too, you meet the enemies, you reload the game, you get the same enemies. Every time!

At the beginning it's ok yet, but when you get further and your weapons are with luck only those from Wizardry 7 or even the provided cheap ones from this game's beginning, and the enemies have much life, and they become every time more, this can kick the patience out with time... And the enemies come pretty often. And you can't avoid those battles, only if you run and even then they might be still there when you come back. :ranting:
This annoyed me so much that I stopped playing the game when I reached the place where those weird squirrel people live high in the trees and near them the rattkins. It became boring then and I abandoned the game. And you know what? I didn't regret it. I never wanted to play it again. Sad, but better save the nerves for better made games...
