Anyone else been playing this? Been having a good time playing this the past week along with RDR. I was kind of annoyed at first when I heard they were changing the main character for those outside Japan, but I think it’s more engaging to be fighting to save your daughter rather than your sister. The soundtrack is amazing, the voice work is pretty good, Weiss sounds awesome.
I started the game on hard and after the first hour or two I was regretting my purchase. If you are going to play the game, do it on normal. I put in about 7 hours on hard before I changed it to normal, it just sucks on hard. You do almost no damage while every enemy has lots of health. There are sheep in the first area of the game you go to after the prologue that are supposed to be nearly harmless fodder. It took me over a minute to kill one since I would knock it down with a combo which barely did anything to it and then it would run off and I’d have to chase after it. Boss fights are made far too long than intended. It’s time consuming rather than an added challenge, so do yourself a favor and play on normal.
Now that I dropped it to normal, the game is much more satisfying. Overall it’s a mishmash of multiple games, just did a Zelda type puzzle dungeon last night. Kaine is always pissed off and has some hilarious lines. I can’t really comment too much on the story so far, I’m still early on.
