1. Framerate. Pretty obvious. Should be fixed, but for a game that's been this long in development and now been delayed a year - it's troubling

2. Soundtrack. What's with this awful Skrillex-like soundtrack. It doesn't match the setting at all.

3. Combat/Combo system. Kamiya-made games often feature an intricate combat combo system that reward you for dodging, blocking and nailing combos. Scalebound evidently is very simply a hack and slash - one where you can get make the dragon do most of the work.

4. Enemy AI. They barely engaged the main character in combat. More often, they consistently went after the dragon. The enemy attacks had almost no complexity, no variety. It honestly didn't seem to far off from a Dynasty Warriors-type AI.

5. It's slow. Very slow gameplay from an action title, especially from PG and Kamiya. Is the main character running? I can't tell because everything else seems to be standing still.

I'm disappointed.

Srsly?

Yes, seriously. The very best qualities many Kamyia/PG games have - Scalebound doesn't seem to have.

There is a LOT of work to be done to improve this game. Setting seems nice though.

I agree with all your points accept for the music. It was alright.

Well, I don't have a definite opinion because it is not on a console I own, but even if it were I would never play it because it has three things I always avoid in games: dragons, annoying Japanese character models and hack/slash combat.

So, obviously not a game for me, and it is really hard for me to assess the popularity of this game. It's made for the hardcore fans, I guess.

I'm sure 1 and 4 will be fixed by the time the game releases. However the music did feel out of place, as did the main character. I just wanna know why he looks modern while everyone else looks medieval

Bit premature I think. The only thing that actually was bad was the framerate, and imo the main character really sucks

I liked it.

Scalebound looked amazing. Its now my #1 most anticipated title across all platforms.

I'll check out the IGN First video once it's on youtube to get another look.
