Played through all three demoes (Duscae, Platinum, and Judgement)..... my general feeling is that the game just isn't going to be good, but got damn did they shoot for the fucking stars in the creature design. Just absolutely gorgeous, jaw dropping, and fantastic creatures. I will say without a doubt the best creature design in any game Ive ever played and they way they introduce some of the creatures has a sense of awe not seen outside of God of War.
That said.
The combat is bad. It just is. There is not justifying it one way or the other, its just bad. Probably the worst action rpg battle system I have ever played. Its not fun to control and the slow speed isn't justified by any added elements of strategy. Its just a very poorly playing action game.
Disappointed and will sit on reviews, but I really really hope the creature assets get used in future games, because they are just too beautiful to be kept in this game.
