Asura's Wrath: THE EPITOME OF MANLINESS!

[Gekko135]

If that's what the creators say about their choice of game design, then they should accept their product for what it is and stop charging $60 for a "player driven" DVD.

"Derr if you don't push both sticks that way, then asura won't go to the next cutscene... it's not QTE, it's player driven"


Yeah, just like if you don't awesomely beat those badguys, you won't be able to get Kratos to the next area... that's player driven too...

I completely understand.

The fault lies on our own.

We need to stop comparing this game to God of War and Bayonetta and see this as the next generation of Dragon's Lair games.

ahh...Dragon's Lair. now that was a game for a generation.

it had some of the best death scenes.



but it was the sequel, in my opinion, made feel like you were watch a movie.



edit: uhh.. guys. look what i found.



oooooookay! i did not expect this in the game. but the near-end was funny.

The hell!?

The sad part is that this is the most interactive part of the game I've seen a video of ...

[Cyborg009]

The hell!?

that was my reaction when i first found this.

[TakinawaTonfa]

Next generation player-driven immersion.

Bouncing animu boobs that have a mind of their own....
Of course.

Augus is such a cock blocker, man.

played the demo, and I think a lot of people are too hard on it.

while there are some QTEs where the button press is optional, there are those where a miss will cost you. It's not super-obvious which ones are which, so it's best to just play along with everything anyway.

the parts where you have direct control are a little repetitive, but they do exist. And I imagine these parts are more common when you're NOT fighting a boss, that is, when you're smashing through waves of enemies.

As for the animation, art direction, graphics, etc - all fantastic. It's badass as fuck. And in my opinion, the rumbling of the controller and pressing the stick to the left to make a sudden dash (even when Asura dashes on his own eventually anyway) are fun. It's a kinesthetic experience. Ironically, despite having very little control over my character, I feel very connected to him.


So, I'll be keeping my eye on this one. I don't have the dosh to buy it at release, but I think I'll want to own it someday. I'm going to purposefully NOT watch bits of it on youtube, so that when I do play it, I'll be surprised by all the epic things happening. It seems like a fun game. Not a God Hand or Bayonetta, but in all honesty, it never pretended to be. From the first trailer, it was clearly QTE: The Game.

I played the demo now and though I enjoyed it I think I never would buy it for a full price.
It is a well made interactive movie which I'll get someday when the price drops a lot

*Cough* Ign...

And from what we've seen already, we already know the sound/graphics/presentation is tight as hell in this game... but the 6.5 for gameplay and 4.0 for lasting appeal is on the mark. I actually agree with IGN here.

But regardless, i'm interested enough. But it's 100% rental for me. Never paid 60 dollars for a 20 episode anime before.. interactive or not.



Wait! oh fuck... I remember shelling out the cash for those 2 episode per dvd sets of FLCL.... ugh, not proud of that one...

[Green_vs_Red]

^ The review could've been worse...Gamespot could've did it.

[MasterKingJC]

Lol, seriously? It's IGN, guys. Take it with a grain of salt.

I'm just gonna wait for Metacritic's review.

[Kishido]

IGN was to nice... This game should get 5 or less

[FUBOKING]

Does anyone think DLC will be released later on for this game?

[Zack]

It depends on if they're already holding some back, and how well it sells?

[Kishido]

Does anyone think DLC will be released later on for this game?

I hope for...

Actual Gameplay DLC

Totally agree. But honestly it cant be that bad. Please don't say it just Jurassic Park with better graphics

For an anime pressed on a BluRay/DVD it is really damn good... But as game... Well no it isn't
