Heavenly Sword

[ríomhaire]

This game seems to be getting alot of attention. Why? From the videos I've seen it just looks like an average hack 'n' slash with too much bloom and a poor framerate. Why is this game getting so much praise?

It has large production values and Andy Serkis, It has to be good! >.>

Because it has incredibly high production values. WETA and Andy Serkis were involved. The combat system is actually a lot deeper than some people claim it to be. Also, there's more than just hack and slash. Oh, and by the looks of it, there's a decent story to boot.


Is that enough for you?

And it has one of the most impressive cinematic cutscene ever. :thumbs:

Not really. Nothing I've seen or heard about it sounds special enough to warrent all of the attention that it's getting.

I was suprisingly impressed with the demo. Great looking game, good combat, i'd have it on pre-order if there weren't so many other great games on the way over the next few months.

Dude, watch Loke's cutscene. If you can't appreciate the effort that is so obviously going into this title after that, then it's quite simply not for you...nor is anything else in life that is beautiful. :O

He obviously created this thread to talk **** about the game, he hasn't even played the demo, so riomhaire wait for the game to come out and give it a try, maybe you'll like it, maybe you don't, at this point there isn't anything you/we can do about it, nothing to discuss here...
