Man, I miss the times when boss fights in video games were actual boss fights and not a collection of Wario-Ware mini-games with a recurring theme.
How true.
The demo disappointed me but can’t say I expected much better from seeing vids.
Played the Asura’s Wrath demo. It’s not that bad really. The problem is there’s all these awesome events but it’s all QTEs which blows. It’s like you’re playing a movie but better than those horrible FMV games. We just need to see more combat vs standard enemies. Not going to lie, trading blows with Agnus was fun. I was laughing so much I want him to be playable in the actual game. I want to fight bosses. You know, beat the crap out of them. The QTEs take the fun right out of the boss fights. You don’t feel like YOU beat the boss. The QTEs make each victory feel really damn hollow. Honestly I don’t expect the game to horrible. At worst a nice a rental but not something that should be tossed like trash. Going to need to jack up the difficulty though. I’m not really hyped but I’m still interested in the final product. Plus Asura looks like a boss. Visually speaking he has one of my favorite designs and on top of that everyone else uses swords and whatever but Asura uses his damn fists.
Also Wyvern can eat a dick. Stay being nothing but ashes and don’t come back. To end this I’m holding out for Anarchy Reigns and MGSR for my action/hack and slash fix. Especially since NG3 has me on the fence.
I can now see why the game is split into episodes.
After 20 minutes your hands will definitely need the rest.
HOKUTO HYAKURETSU B-BUTTON!
Hate to say it but I’ll be waiting for that $20 price point. But I won’t lie, I loved the way everything looked and when Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 kicked in it tugged on me heart strings.
Dayummm, that shit is tough!
Uh… gonna pass on that. I was hoping for some detailed miniature not that.
what a useless trinket. Rather get an artbook.
Thats pretty cool, must have.
Seriously though, when I see shit like this, I have to wonder “Is this a damn joke or what?”. It’s bad enough we aren’t even offered the Heaven edition that Japan’s getting, but you couldn’t even give us an actual figure, but some bullshit bobblehead? >_>
Played the demo and i’m thinking this game is gonna be like Ninja Blade. Another game that relied too much on QTE’s and came off like a bootleg version of a game that out at the time(Ninja Gaiden).
SMH at the fools saying how they liked how QTE heavy the demo was on CC2’s Facebook. I know everybody is entitled to their own preferences, but it’s like gamers are lazy these days. :sad:
^too bad you couldn’t unlock these achievements in the demo. I made sure I hit Augus in the jaw. that tough fucker.
I hated just everything outside of the Augus fight. that was probably the only part it felt like you had control of the fight but man, WAAAYYYYYYY to many qte prompts throughout the game. I mean, you have to qte just to get out of a knock down animation?
stupid.
How are people actually surprised at the amount of QTE in the demo. Thay haven’t even been trying to hide the amount they intend to have in this game.
in the trailers, gameplays, ect. no mistakes are made so not all qte’s are seen. when you actually play the game then you see even more.
SURPRISE! kanye shrug
The QTE was a bit much, but l enjoyed the Asura’s Wrath demo for what it showed. Variety in the QTE will be important to me since a lot of games give you some qte options but the actions are recycled over and over again during the game, making them stale.
This game is goign to be even MORE EPIC than I first hoped. The gameplay is as mediocre as I hoped it wouldn’t be, but the story, events, and overall flow of the game is more than enough to make me want to play it at least once.
It’s probably gonna be one of those games that I recommend people play at least once, even if you just rent or borrow it.
I actually have no problem at all with the amount of QTEs in the game, for people more concerned about an experience, and less about rules, this game will be really interesting. It’s really easy to get into the story they way they made the QTEs. But I know I’m in the minority for that on this site lol
Just wanted to give you props for having the Astal AV.
Buddy! 
I too am looking forward to the story and presentation but not for $60.
