It's just a shame that this is another IP ruined by the EA juggernaut.
Ultima VII and VII part 2 were/are great.
Number was 8 was a tragic disappointment, such a shitty shitty game. But when I saw preview screens of Ultima IX Ascension; when it was still isometric; I got hopeful about the series. In the end it was a pain in the ass shit game (less shittier than 8, but still shitty).
I actually loved U8. I played U6 before it, and yes, it was completely different and not as good, but I still had a ton of fun with it. U8 had amazing atmosphere. But yeah, the mechanics were broken and it wasn't really "ultima".
I even liked U9. Yes, it was EXTREMELY buggy and the controls were shit, but I just liked exploring the world. Great atmosphere too.
U6 was just better tho, and to me that's a true Ultima. I never got around to trying U7, mostly because I hate the graphics.
