War of the Roses

I'm... I'm really not sure what to think about this game. First thing to know about War of the Roses is the fact that it has technical issues right off the get-go. When I tried to play this game it had some problem with fullscreen and I had to restart it; when I re-opened it I could not see anything but a black screen and ended up having to reinstall the entire thing. Also, I have a half-decent computer, and the framerate is choppy on the lowest settings. Once we get past all the technical issues we get to gameplay; I'm not really sure what they were trying to do here, but it seems half done. You have to charge every swing, which wouldn't be such a bad thing, if it worked, and you weren't in the middle of combat. Also, blocking does not block, I learned this very fast. If you block the enemy can just hammer at you since it takes forever to put down your shield/weapon and then takes ANOTHER forever just to swing your sword. I like how you can execute enemies, and how if you are being executed it puts you into 1st person mode; in fact, I think that's the best part of the game. And that's about all there is to it, even if you kill someone it's not very rewarding, because some random enemy is going to come around some corner and kill you after you kill their buddy. On top of all this, the game never really explains anything to you, you have to figure it out be looking it up or by dying and dying again. I don't want to sound like a hater, and this game has a lot of potential, but they have not done anything good with it yet and I would not suggest this game.
