Ticks Me Off: Lost Saga




Ladies and Gentlemen, this game has set an all new speed record of making me not like it. How this game has people willing to play it is a mystery to me. Lost Saga is one of those MMO fighting games. The gameplay was fine, but the one thing that immediately made me drop the game was seeing that the characters in the game all had timers on them.

Yeah, they start you off with a single character, but the character has a time limit, at least 10 hours. The good thing is that it only counts down when the character is in use. Bad news is, you need to keep paying in game currency in order to keep renewing the timer (so this means there goes any sweet equipment you want if you’re a free player). What happens if you want one character for keeps? You pay $20. Want to flip the gender from male to female? MORE MONEY! Want to make them another skin tone? EVEN MORE MONEY! This happens to be a Korean game, so following the unfortunate stereotype, they want to rape your wallet dead!

If you run out of time on the character they give you a temp one for about 2 hours so you can attempt to get more in game money to renew the character you want. Good luck if they stick you with a character you hate and bonus fail points if it’s a character you hate and or can’t play to save your life.

I saw reviews after i got pissed off giving this game a glowing approval, but I’m convinced these people were tempted with cash, loose women (or men if they roll that way) or were people who worked on the game themselves.

In the immortal words of James (The Angry Video Game Nerd) Rolfe, “FUCK THIS GAME!”

To make matters worse, I'd go back to Elsword before looking at this game again, and considering what I said about that game, that speaks VOLUMES!
