@J-Sack:
Quick question. There are about 40 playable characters in this game… and people are complaining? What am I missing?
Of the 40 playable characters, there are a few questionable inclusions while other more anticipated ones aren't playable. This is mostly a minor problem as many of the mainstays are still in the game, but some people appear to feel really strongly about Lucci and Garp.
Besides that, there's also concern for the combat mechanics and general flow of action in the game. This can be attributed to most videos showing people playing without having much practice beforehand. Even after I've played the demo for most of an afternoon, I still get whooped by people mashing buttons, so it's probably not easy to master.
And even though it's not fair, I'm assuming many people are also comparing it to Pirate Warriors 3, which has much more content and is available for the same consoles (mostly).
Personally, I'm still on the fence about it. The combat feels clunky, but I do like playing fanservice games and using character abilities.
