    It's a demo, it's meant to be a taste of the game not a full experience.
    Watch the most recent trailer for the game and make your own opinions from there. The game looks great in mine.

      Its meant to be a taste, and showcase why you should buy it. This demo does neither. In fact it kinda tells you DON'T buy it. Don't white knight, this demo is bad.

    Want to throw my hat in the ring here about the demo:
    The demo has some big flaws that I hope the full release will fix such as enemy loot drop rates (I think I only got one raptor scale in the whole time I spent in the demo) and weapon loadouts (if you're using the shotgun with the battle armour and don't have the cannons equipped as your option part, ranged units are going to have their way with you).
    The main issue in the demo is the locations they give you access to vs. the vehicles they give you; most of the locations on the map are cliffs which as stated by one of your allies "requires a vehicle that can jump". you'd think they meant the battle armour, but that falls just short of clearing the jump.
    The intended vehicle is either the Jump-Bot (not shown in the demo) or the ride hopper (which is the vehicle that you can see bandits using, but can't use yourself).
    this issue also carries over to one of the ruins; there's a hole in the wall where you are meant to jump through, but again, Robo can't make the jump.
    I do believe the full game will be much better, but the item drop rate really needs to be buffed.

    I don’t get it, the gameplay is awesome, the customisation and vehicles, the combat, it’s all good. Sure the demo isn’t laid out the best but I can’t understand why people aren’t enjoying it. Obviously each vehicle is going to have its strengths and weaknesses, that’s the point, there’s different vehicles for different situations, the bike for example is basically for just getting around fast, killing dinosaurs and scorpions is fine with it. And fighting flying mobs on foot? Why even would you? You’re saying all these things like they’re problems but you’re making the problems up dude. The open world is just a demo, it’s a demo lol, what do you expect? I mean when the demo starts it says and I quote…
    “In this demo, you can explore and fight enemies in the following three vehicles: Battle Tank, motorbike, and Battle Armor
    You can recover your vehicle's MP by resting at a camp.”
    It does what it says on the tin, the point is to play around with the combat and vehicles and customisation.
    The NPC lines are very repetitive for sure, I hope that’s not a reflection of the final product.
    But yeah it feels empty because it isn’t an open world sandbox, it’s a demo, a demo for what it says at the start of the demo… You don’t wanna come back to it because that’s how the game made you feel? Bro come on it’s a demo, this is silly. It’s like you just wanted to make a video and the actual content was a second thought.
    And the demo is super easy and you’re so overpowered in it, I haven’t seen one death screen and I’ve played over 2 hours messing with different configurations. Any demo will become stale. But yeah.

  • @milesdarobot4980
    @milesdarobot4980 8 месяцев назад +9

    I obviously can't speak on full release. Only what I know from all of the gameplay trailers, and developer interviews.
    But the demo seems to literally just be "here's a couple of vehicles. Play around with them for a couple hours".
    It seems to omit NPCs, Story, Quests, Towns, Leveling, Etc.
    While also seemingly gives you late game, OP vehicles.
    While also leaving out certain abilities.
    For Exp. You can steal enemy vehicles in the game. There's actually a jumping vehicles meant for Platforming. Etc.
    I thought the demo was alright enough. But I think they would have been better off giving us a "play the 1st 4 hours of the game. Your save file carriers over" type demo.
    Not saying that the full game will be a masterpiece. Or worth a full price buy.
    But this demo felt like a horrible representation of the game.
    I thought the demo was solid enough. I'm a huge fan of Sand Land, so I'm buying anyway.
    But I'm a bit baffled that they would release a demo that doesn't include the story, and doesn't include gameplay features that are actually in the game, and would have gave ppl a better first impression.

    I mean the argument about the empty world is a little flawed when its a demo. Zelda BoTW Plateau didnt have much to do in the demo but it was quite filled out in full game. I assume youll also not be this OP in the final game. I respect your opinion on this but i for one am excited to play this. Especially since its got the art style of Akira Toriyama

  • @atsunymphae2723
    @atsunymphae2723 8 месяцев назад

    From my limited time with the demo I agree...
    While some degree of love was evident (like the unique combo enders depending at what point in the chain you press strong attack), the world felt shallow and not worth exploring...
    It was a treat to see Toriyama's machinery given life, but I think this'll be a pass 🥲😔

  • @buckethatkidwastaken
    @buckethatkidwastaken 8 месяцев назад

    Completely agree on your take. I don’t really find shooting fun so I was doing the basic combat which got boring after 10 minutes. Obviously the game will have more abilities but if that’s all the basic combo strings we get at least I won’t find it interesting. The battle suit would probably be the only vehicle I’d use fr and it got boring pretty quick. Maybe the official game can be more entertaining but even after seeing all the trailers I haven’t really been interested in it (probably because it seems to be very vehicle based) so I probably wouldn’t buy it

The combat sucks as well. Basically just drive in a circle around the enemy and shoot it and you win.

    As someone who values narrative and goals in games, yes, this was a disappointment. It was not much to latch on to.
    Also, the combat was not what i was expecting. In the Manga, Beelzebub is very powerful and he seemed to only use the vehicles for fun. But in this game you pretty much want to be in a vehicle at all times and fighting on foot is only something you'd want to do if your vehicles are too damaged.
    That being said, once i realized what type of game it was and embraced the vehicle traversal and combat it wasn't so bad. But with zero story or NPC interaction to showcase I'm not sure if i like it enough to buy it.

    Honestly one of the worst demos I've ever played. Stutters like crazy on PC, unrewarding gameplay (no loot, no xp,), enemies are almost all able to be baited around and hit at a range only for them to reset in an instant if they go a fairly small distance from their spawn point, and the exploration is the best thing in the game...but it still doesn't hold a candle to so many other ARPGs.

      Felt like a "this is a few mechanics from the main game for you to play around with until the main game drops" sort of demo. It gave me a good understanding of what's to come although I do think it would have been better to have had the demo be part 1 of the story/ maybe 1 or 2 hours of the story

This demo was dropped like a month before release, the game has certainly been content- and feature-complete for quite awhile before that.

The game alludes to a jumping vehicle, which doesn’t take a genius to figure out it’s just not in the demo. Just watch the official trailer and play the demo for a taste of the combat.
