Gameplay is awesome too.
Gameplay is awesome too.
As I said gameplay is very good to IMO with good gameplay mechanics not confusing and the Majin AI is very good too, you can feel the bond the characters are making just by the demo alone and thats awesome.
Add to that this will be a 20-25 hour adventure with varied enviroments, lots of puzzles, it has good combat with a twist in that you "need" the Majin to win and you have a very good and refreshing game.
I will buy it day one!!
This has the same vibe as a Zelda game or those old school adventure kinda games of the NES era.
Maybe Im the really weird around here because I tought it was great., maybe my taste in games sucks :(
I don't care the game is awesome!!
Awesome then.
There is hundreds shooters you guys can play out there,

I swear everyone just expects each new game to come out to look 100% more outstanding than the last, this is the reason why we dont have many genres or as much choice this generation due to people expecting WAY over the fucking odds, and when it looks average (which is still pretty)
you flame the fucking thing into next week
As a community i think we need to grow up and look past this shit and play games because there fun, not because they use direct 27 shading utils.
Im just saying that maybe some were playing it like a straight up action game when its not, the character its not a warrior, this is more about stealth kills and when you absolutly need to engage in combat you "NEED" the Majin to kill enemys and that mechanic works surprisingly well IMO.
I was hesitant to even download the demo but once I played I was hooked instantly.
I could name quite a few PS2 games that with High res would even be ranked as some of the best looking visuals this gen. GOW 2 HD remake proved that and so will SoTC.
God forbid a game to be different than your average shooter or have slightly less polish than you are used to.
Both you and IRAIPT0IR have hinted that just because it differs from the popular loved, and milked, FPS genre that we haven't given it a chance... which ironic given You've yet to play the demo, and He'll dismiss a game like Heavy Rain without trying it.
Fact is, i personally dont like it cause it's rubbish (going by the demo). Not only are the visuals lacking but the gameplay is too. Frankly i found it boring, clumbsy, and the giant thing sounded retarded.
Play it and voice your opinion. As frankly you wont know you'll enjoy it more than any "AAA piece of crap thats out at the moment" untill you do.
While this game might be not for you is indeed a fresh air in a ocean filled with FPS and generic games and for people like you and KORN and others that want the best of the best graphics even if the game sucks and its as generic as can be (see some of the AAA games out there) we will get less and less of this gems as time pass.
gameplay boring? lol are you serious?
It has a lot of interactivity, it has stealth gameplay, combination with the Majin and you to make powerfull strikes, the Majin at your command makes things like burning enemy, there is puzzles, and its only a demo mind you who knows what other stuff itsin store for us.
RPG elements in it, level ups for you and the Majin, you can talk to animals lol really cute stuff.
Sure as I said it might be not the best technically speaking in terms of graphics but who cares about that? not me thats for sure, art design its more important and its great in this game.

Those things you said that are a problems with the game they are not in my opinion, I dont find the gameplay boring nor clunky, the stealth gameplay is well implemented(dont get seen) what contrived? you want some gadgets in there to make it more stealthy?
The voice acting gets the job done, the voice of the Majin specially, it is meant to make you see that he is inocent and almost like a child, you are suposed to feel sorry for him, thats why you rescue him, the main character felt sorry for him seeing he is likea lost puppy or something of that nature.
I realize you guys must play only a few games a year, maybe 2-3 tops, your standards are way too high, and its funny and ironic because a game comes out that have amazing graphics but does nothing original and gets heavily praised by some of you (GoW3).
I have had a chance to play it and I think the game is quite fun actually, it looks as jaggy as hell though which is a shame, because visually its not too bad, but the jaggies do ruin the visual experience quite a bit.
It's kind of like jak and daxter meets tomb raiders.
This reminds me of the SE game Nier which everyone turned their nose up at and that turned out to be a really cool game aswell.
Get your heads out of your asses guys there is more to gaming than "awesome" visuals, guns and violence.
GTFO!
GTFO!
Its a mutual respect of opinion thing. If I dont agree with you the point is to agree to disagree, not try to convince you to agree to something you just dont feel. for example, my first post I voiced my opinion and it was simply that. I didnt quote anyone elses comment and tell them why I thought they were right or wrong, I simply said what I had to say about my experience from playing the demo.
and for my second reply that was directed at you, I didnt say your opinion was invalid or anything, I was just pointing out that you should not try to disagree so much with what the other people are saying.. and I guess that goes for them as well. but you in particular keep stating reasons why you think they arent agreeing with you, saying that its because the game isnt a shooter and whatnot.. and thats very pretentious of you, especially since you were trying to defend yourself before playing the demo.
just relax, state your opinion and dont worry about what other people think.
and I will now take my own advice
