Quick review.
>Did my opinion change?
No, Empire might have become less painful to play but that's entirely thanks to me playing games that are so much worse that I just feel annoyed playing it instead of utterly blood curdling furious, I still loathe this game, I still despise it, I still believe Octavius is an utter moron who doesn't understand even remotely passable game design. He needs to stop rushing things and deliver them when they're ready, but as is it really shows how rushed each and every chapter is, there's no quality control, there's no polish or care at all, what little passion this game has is spent in all the wrong areas and there's barely if anything even remotely salvageable about it, I want to be generous, I want to at least try and find something redeemable about this game to praise, but what is there? The dialogue spam is still as awful as ever, the quests are so terribly handled that it's laughable, the story is not terrible but it's really poorly told, the characters are either forgettable or insufferable, the progression is terrible, the choice and point metrics are handled so badly that I'm almost impressed by how awful it is, the difficulty is kaizo tier misery a lot of the time, this game feels like it was intentionally designed to make whoever plays it angry and miserable and this game requires so much investment to get into in the first place, which just makes it worse. Big part of the reason I quit this game before (besides the first time being thanks to a certain retard throwing a fit and raiding the thread) is because I'm already very stressed by default and I have to constantly get off my ass to do my job or some chores, I want to have fun when I play games, Empire is not fun, in the slightest, it's miserable, down to every last aspect and thanks to what I already said about it being so rushed, it gets no playtesting, this game is so bug ridden and broken.
