For those who don't want to listen to TotalBastard, there's a version out where he's blessfully silent.

In the highly unlikely event that the game actually requires you to put some thought into managing your freeze time it could be 'k. I'm not too keen on the visuals/sound and the dialogue has been pretty forgettable so far. But if the combat difficulty ramps up steeply after the tutorial area I might hack'n'slash my way through a not-removed-from-inventory copy. Short bursts of bullet hell punctuated by having to orchestrate a repositioning/damage combo could be fun.





But it'll probably be popamole, solvable by pressing freeze time and mashing attack from behind an enemy.

The sword is massively irritating. Throughout the video I kept wishing for it to shut up. And as the protagonist is mute it will never happen.

Just...just no. Shit hipster music/art combo, weaboo style sci fi banal setting and I bet it's gonna have the same 'heartbreaking' bullshit like Bastion. About as RPG as Mark of the Ninja, although the later is a passable game and this one will be shit.

Does anyone else find calling a fucking sword "transistor" just deeply embarrassing?
It can join "Irving" (yes, really) on the list of embarrassing sword names.
Yeah. No. Not really.

I don't think anything outclasses "transistor". You sit in front of a box crammed full of transistors playing the game with cybersomething themes implying even more transistors everyfuckingwhere. Then suddenly
:retarded: said:
TRANSISTHURR ITZ DA ONLY ONE!!!11!!ONEONE
And it's a fucking sword.

Is that what it's like to be an arts major?

Also "keyblade" and "buster blade"
Those names are merely descritpitve, true derp is in the design.

Other embarassing sword names: every named sword out there, pretty much. Seriously, outside of actual legendary shit like Excalibur, it's just cheesy bullshit.

Well yeah. Arthur had other named weapons too, I wouldn't really consider those legendary either though. I admittedly don't know jack shit about the french swords. Never been a fan of that mythology.

I was talking about shit like Drizzt's swords having names, despite having no history or significant power whatsoever. If a weapon is named, it should be out of necessity, having such a rich story or set of properties it would be referenced repeatedly. Naming a weapon because names are cool is cheesy.

Though cheesy can be enjoyable on occasion.

how is that embarrassing exactly?
If not embarrassing then at least facepalm worthy. It's definitely not the sort of name you'd expect for an ancient magic sword wielded by a great barbarian hero in a high fantasy setting. Though since the barbarian is named Joe I suppose it's fitting.
