	Mr Puggsly posted 20/05/2010, 09:46 @ -girgosz- A lot of games claim to have been in development for that long and even longer. I wasn't expecting big sales simply because survival horror games generally have poor sales. Also, I'm sure sales are going to be considerably better in NA. We only see Others right now.

	blue7x7 posted 19/05/2010, 09:59 Oh wait I just noticed this only accounts for 1 day sales it was released on the 14th in europe and vgchartz is reporting this on the 15th. So not bad actually for just one day. But they still need to advertise this if they want this to sell. Message \| Report

	KillerJawz posted 16/05/2010, 11:55 Perhaps it is only repetitive to a certain extent? For example, if we are refering to a story that perhaps Bayonetta provides, I found that quite repetitive, whilst many others disagree. The gameplay really does sound like a 'love it or hate it' thing. I have mixed feelings about getting this to be quite honest. Message \| Report

	zzamaro posted 16/05/2010, 05:05 I just finished it. It's longer than I expected. AW is not what I expected but still worth playing. I like good stories and this game has a good one, I liked how the main character was telling his own story, just like Tidus from FFX. Gameplay wasn't very good so I I'll pass N... mode. I rate this game 8 out of 10. Oh, and I apologize if I sounded like a troll, I didn't mean it. (Again, sorry for Bad English) Message \| Report

	zzamaro posted 14/05/2010, 08:26 I didn't say this game is bad, 8 might be a be a good socre. Here is why: Gameplay Spoilers: it has an interesting story but gameplay is so repetive, basically you point the flashlight and when human enemies lost their darkness, shoot, point and shoot, that's all you do in the game. There are also possessed objetcs but they are easily avoided and can also be killed by using the flashlight. I'm on episode 5 and so far, no bosses. And all you fight are humans possessed by darkness and crows. No bears or dogs or whatever they could have added. And few weapons of choice. As I said, story is interesting but Remedy spent 5 years on this game and I'm kind of disapointed. Well, once you can play, you'll know what I mean. (Sorry for Bad English) Message \| Report
