*FINAL UPDATE & VERDICT*
SOME PARTS OF THE GAME WERE FUN AND I FELT THAT IT WAS GETTING MORE FUN AS THE GAME WENT ON
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT THEN THOSE BOSS BATTLES HAPPENED, WHERE THEY FLY AND GO BUCKWILD ALL OVER THE MAP
I DON'T FEEL LIKE EXPRESSING HOW EFFING FRUSTRATING AND HOW BAD A SYSTEM LIMITATION THAT EXPOSES, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY:
wo long: 7.5 TO NOW 7.0 FINAL*!
*UPDATE*
PRETTY FAR INTO THE GAME NOW (I THINK) AND IT IS OVERALL MUCH BETTER FROM THE FIRST HOUR OR SO, BUT THE FIRST HOUR-OR-SO WAS A 3.8/10 SO THAT ISN'T REALLY SAYING MUCH
SOME SIGNIFICANT FLAWS WITH THIS GAME:
- WHEN TIMING AND INTENSE COMBAT AND 'POTENTIALLY SEVERE PENALTIES FOR NOT RECLAIMING LOST 'SOULS' (IDK IDC WHAT THE CURRENCY NAME IS), THIS GAME DOES A VERY POOR JOB AT MAKING SURE THERE'S NO UHH SHALL WE SAY 'SYSTEM LIMITATIONS' WITH THE GAME: FOR EXAMPLE: THE CAMERA ANGLE ESPECIALLY WHEN LOCKED ON CAN GO BUCKWILD SO HALF THE TIME YOU CANNOT PROCESS WHAT'S HAPPENING AND/OR! AND/OR! YOU'RE BASICALLY LOOKING AT A WALL, SO YOU DEFFFINITELY CANNOT SEE WTF IS GOING ON-
- UPGRADE SYSTEM IS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW-AVERAGE- LIKE THE STAT BOOST STUFF WITH ELEMENTS IS FINE, BUT I SEE LITTLE-TO-NO VALUE IN SOME OF THESE 'LEARN WIZADRY(?)' STUFF
- CRITICAL COUNTER MORE THAN 50% OF THE TIME ARE ACTUALLY N O T INTUITIVE - THIS GAME BANKS ON EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT CRITICAL AT THE RIGHT SPLIT-SECOND STUFF, BUT, AGAIN, 50% OF THE TIME PARTICULARLY BOSS BATTLES, IT IS NOT INTUITIVE, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO TRIAL-AND-ERROR MANY TIMES, OR LOOK AT ONLINE GUIDES (WHICH I WILL NOT DO; TYPICALLY I DO THIS ON SECOND-PLAYTHROUGHS BUT THIS GAME IS SIMPLY NOT FUN ENOUGH TO WARRANT A SECOND PLAYTHROUGH)- AGAIN: THE GAME BANKS AND FEELS 'EDGY' BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE SPLIT-SECOND STUFF, BUT, NOT GOOD
- OH YEAH! ALMOST FORGOT AND IN SOME CASES YOU GET SPAM/COMBO OF CRITICAL ATTACKS WTF??? LIKE AS YOU'RE COUNTERING
- OH! OH!!!! I ALMOST FORGOT!!! OK- I HAD IT AT 6.3 I NEED TO DROP IT TO 6.0 BECAUSE I REMEMBERED THIS: THE STEALTH SYSTEM IS KINDOF BROKEN- PRESSING STEALTH-ATTACK AS SOON AS THE RED THING APPEARS BUT 50%+ OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T DO IT- LIKE A MILLISECOND BEFORE/AFTER IT TURNS STANDARD; IN OTHER CASES THE WEAPON CLEARLY CONTACTS THE ENEMY BUT DOES NOT DO DAMAGE
- EQUIPMENT/ITEMS ARE VERY VERY BLAND
+ IN SOME INSTANCES THE WHOLE EXPLORATION AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR THE NEXT FORTIFIED-THINGY TO APPEAR CAN BE FUN
+ BOSS BATTLES (CAN BE FUN BUT FOR THE REASONS I JUST PROVIDED ARE BASICALLY ONLY A LITTLE BIT TO THE POSITIVE
6.0*/10 SO FAR!
