Re: Games Discussion Thread
Tried X-Blades today. Played the first 4 levels.
Initial impressions: Not a lot to go on so far. Feels like a knock-off of DMC, but that could just be because I've played a lot of DMC.
There's an upgrade system, which lets you upgrade your magic, swords(?), and guns.
Biggest complaints so far are:
1) Most of the time, enemy attacks don't _feel_ threatening. They can interrupt your casting, but you don't flinch or make any movement to indicate you've been hit. On the flip side, when it DOES want you to know you've been hit, you either go flying, or lose a ton of health. Or both.
2) Enemies feel either TOO weak, or TOO strong. The smaller enemies are easy as hell, but the bigger/tougher enemies are OMFG WHAT IS THIS.
3) Half the time when I go to jump, she rolls instead. Randomly. WTF IS THIS SHIT.
4) I don't think they kept the camera focused on her ass enough /sarcasm
I'll probably pick it up again after Christmas. For right now, yeah, not impressed, but, honestly, doesn't seem to be as bad as most people want to make it out to be.
Still have yet to try out FF XIII or Beast Rider.
