Kind of boring
Where to start with the bad stuff? That is most definitely the question. Among the more annoying issues that i've so far come across is the fact that, as stated in other reviews, load times just blow. There's too much waiting around for cut scenes to load. Speaking of cut scenes, a lot of the game so far seems to be cut scenes that seem a little too drawn out & while they are the story line, added to other faults in the game, make the game way too long. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do between combat which in the beginning is quite sparse. You would think that given the fact that combat is turn based, & because of that slow, the designers would have tried to do soemthing to speed things up between combat sequences. But they didn't and you're left with something of a game that feels boring.
To be honest I'm a fan of action/adventure & shooting games. What RPGs that I've played, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, & others, have a faster pace. While I can handle turn based combat, as opposed to real time combat, or even the almost turn based combat of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (I & II), the lack of something between combat is annoying. Whether that something is puzzle solving, more combat, or even exploration, the game needs it desperately. As for the linking of abilities for the immortal characters is something new.
My final words about this game is for anyone considering buying this game, rent it to see if you like it. If you're a fan of this type of game, you may be more inclined to buy after renting. But if you're iffy or prefer faster paced games, I don't think you'll like it enough to buy.
