Another example of sega screwing up on GOOD looking games.
I enjoyed playing the online demo, and theres no more monthy wipes. but i wanted to see what the story was about.
Thought im not a Phantasy star fan, i wanted to try the real game.
things i liked about psu
* The huge ammount of weapons, from daggers to greatswords, from spears to fists and handguns to lazer cannons.
* Battle system is real time and not turn based. much better than FF12.
* Being able to make weapons/armor/items with the stuff you find.
* The online demo, because its free but its not in the real game...
Things i hated about psu
*Why cant you pause the game in story? (when its OFFLINE),THAT is stupid.
*Not alot of save points. i have a good ammount of time playing this but when your in a rush (for example to go to bed) the next save point can sometimes be about 2 or 3 floors away in block b-1 or something.
*Far too much money (or in this case "mesta") to quicky, it kinda ruins the fact its a RPG.
*Monsters and npcs can be stupid (running into walls)
*Party allies dont do **** sometimes. (are often lazy or keep being KO'ed)
* Music often repeats and repeats, it gets annoying at times...
*The voice acting is BAD at some cases, Ethans voice actor is murder. (Ethan is ment to be 17/18 years old? His voice sounds like a 25 year old.)
*The story is murder. i seen stuff coming. and the voice acting ruined the good parts.
* THE ONLINE IS P2P AND NOT F2P!!!
I havent compleated it yet but i think this game is one of the examples of sega screwing up in good games. If you want to try it yourself go ahead. i kinda feel riped off buying this. I was hoping the online would be free by now. But no...If it was i would have given it more points but with its lack of online (unless you do pay per month but im paying £40 a year just for XBL, i cant be bothered paying another £5 on this game when i might not be able to play it half the time! )
Thanks for reading, peace out. -Highwind 017
