I did not enjoy this game at all. If I had the attention span, I would read all of it. I imagine it's a very detailed review. After 15 hours, the game became too monotonous. Travel, side quest, dungeon, main quest, rinse and repeat. Not to mention the combat was painful and my partner did all the work and after about 13 hours, I heard the music get epic and a dragon comes down and shit goes down. It didn't it hit to half health. All it did was focus on my companion while I shoved my sword up its ass. Seriously disappointing. The combat is just not rewarding.

Fair points, all of them. I actually went into quite a bit of detail on why this game is an absolute blast for some while it's an absolute bust for others. It's actually why my review is so hefty (I'm trying to get you to read it but I know that's a tall order - if I hadn't written it I'd probably not read it either ). But yeah, I totally understand why you feel it's unrewarding. It simply doesn't have the complexity or depth to combat that you're accustomed to in other games that you like. 

I will read it today and comment back on it after i go to work.
