If you are expecting the same game play mechanics as TFU, forget about it. That's was my biggest mistake. Also if you own an original XB1, it looks kinda shitty...almost 360.5 + PS3.5ish. When you move the camera around holy crap it looks bad. Also when it loads into the game you see the textures load in and they look PSP like for a second or two.
Agreed...even though some will justify the validity of the poncho by mentioning Qui Gon Jinn's poncho from TPM.
This has how I feel too without having played the game. On the surface, he doesn't appear to be an engaging character in the slightest.
THIS is awesome.
THIS is not.
It's a small thing that I'm surprised hasn't been talked about with this game but the worlds feel so empty. Like FFXIII empty. You barely see or talk to people but you will see a lot of enemies. Doesn't help that if you backtrack (don't even get me started on that chore of a task), there is usually no background music playing. The worlds just feel sterile and lacking of life.
I mean, that makes sense in a way that he's going to places (no spoilers) that should be deserted for reasons. That said, aside from the intro (or at least from what I played) they don't focus on going places that would be far more interesting to explore if it were that type of game. But yes, for sake of the storyline (and probably lack of budget/dev time) the environments are pretty lifeless and boring. Just finished the kickstarter game Ghost of a Tale (also souls-like) that oozed charm and had incredible world-building. At this point, I'm not even surprised that AAA is being upstaged by indie.
