      @@DennepeerRelaxation Well, let's hope you'll end up truly capable of appreciating it's sheer genius. The entire first playthrough of the game is not indicative of the long-term commitment to it. I've already played more then 160 hours of it on Steam with barely any care in stopping. Compared to The Wonderful 101 Devil May Cry 5 is like a soulless unoriginal borefest of an action game.
      The mind-altering music, the thrust of the idealistic heroic story, the energetic cutscenes, the memorable allies and enemies, the constant juggling of vistas, the demand for the player to use team's abilities for both battling new types of regular enemies and solving environmental puzzles !
      And all of that wrapped into a *GROUNDBREAKING* idea that constantly plays with "mass", "size" and "quantity".
      Abso-lutely amazing.

    My most favorite thing about the 30 FPS complaint is that Automata did the exact same thing and not a single soul came out of the woodwork to say a thing about it unless it came with some sort of positive about the game. Sometimes a negative.
    But really, even Bloodborne performed worse than this in terms of framerate.

    Every now and then, I pick up a game that I know almost nothing about. If I see a game that sparks my interest, I'll just look up what genre of game it is and that's it. Just will go into it mostly blind. I did that with Astral chain literally yesterday. I was actually already looking for a game with good combat, just something fun to play. Astral Chain has totally blown me away. It's just fun. I was afraid it was going to be a generic hack n slash type of game, like the type that doesn't really require any thinking and you just button mash your way to victory. And God damn am I glad I was wrong. It's so much more than that, and with each act it seems like more and more depth gets added to combat. I'm in love and am going to tell everyone I know who has a switch to get this game

  • @JaceOKami

    I heard stories about Platinum actually asking Sony and Microsoft if they want to publish it, but both rejected flatout. So they moved with Nintendo. Now the rest of the world is mad because their favorite consoles do not have this game. I didn't bother to check if that's actually true as I honestly don't intend to become a consolewar fanboi. Still funny to think about lmao.

    • @zerochill4096

      I think you're thinking of Bayonette 2; that's the one that the others turned down but Nintendo said yes to.

      I agree. The point o a silent protagonist is to allow the player to projet themselves onto the character, however it diminishes the amount of development that the protagonist can have. I would have much preferred if the game had branching dialogue options.
