I am really upset at the moment. I just stopped playing Soul Nomad and The World Eaters so I could come on here and get this straightened out. How could someone play this game and NOT love it? How could so many people be reviewing it like it was a waste of time?
I'm not saying this is a perfect title. It has it's share of small issues. But the overall experience is truly, delicious gaming goodness. I'm a hardcore American but man, when it comes to games i'm starting to think we don't know shit. This looks to be another title that is gonna go undetected because we've got idiots out there that are knocking the game for not having mind blowing (or lame as hell...depending on how you look at it) 3D graphics. Continually saying its battle system is weak and overall gameplay is boring...did they even play the game?
The sprite work in this game is amazing. All of the animations, the wonderful palette of colors, the squad customization...it's just soo much fun. COMBO CENTRAL WITH 2D SPRITE ACTION!?!?! It doesn't get any better. I'm reminded of such hardcore classics like Dragon Force and Ogre Battle when I play this wonderful game....
Take a look at the reviews. The current average score is 71% on gamerankings. This is before the gamespot and IGN scores. (I sure hope they get it right) Am I crazy? Has anyone played SN besides me?
