Sooo.....Wazzup?

Just finished my board exams and I think I flunked big time... all that studying for nothing.

Anyways, just popped in to say that I gave SS demo another go and managed to reach cereberus or whatever that three headed dog thingy is called and all I can say is...I still dont like it.

1. The vision thing is stupid. I mean, come on, who stops in the middle of a fight to look around in special vision? you just end up dead.
2. I still found the book annoying. Not that I hate books, but the progression is sooooo slow.
3. Boss weak spots...sooo...how do you actually target those? like that harpy's wings and head? sure, I can see its a weakness with that stupid vision thingy, but how do i actually hit them when their way up there and I'm on the ground too busy looking for offerings and shit coz I ran out of magic? Lame!
4. leveling is dependent on whether you sacrifice or save....sooo...I tried a 19/1 build and I couldnt see any difference with my defense. resetted the level and made a 1/19 build and damage output seems the same. wtf?
5. like most hunting games/boss battles, my main issue with the giant beasties is...how da crap can something so huge move so fast? Cereberus isn't hard, he's just cheap as shit. How so? you run out of magic so fast its not funny. You try looking for offerings he kills you. you manage to live through that and find an offering, you try to restore your sacrifice and shit, he kills you while you try to draw out whatever crap your trying to draw out. You manage to live through that and again run out of magic, you use up all resources. then a random enemy pops up, you say, hooray and try to kill it, then cereberus kills you. you manage to live through that again, and kill the small fry, you try to sacrifice it, then cereberus kills you.....honestly, the difficulty in this game is stupid and cheap. Not to mention tactics and planning is stupid too. you can plan all you want but you'll run out of magic all the time and then you will die.

I can go on and on on how much I dislike SS but I'll just live it at that. Its sad that I was so really really looking forward to this, and I even tried to give it a second chance by playing the demo a second time and registering more than 10 hours of play, but sadly, the more i played it the more I disliked it.

Not to mention at $35 a pop on psn, its not worth it since I cant very well let my son play this shit. I may let him play some very questionable games such as DOA5 and Senran Kagura, but It'll be a cold day in hell before I even let my son near SS.

That is all...to those enjoying SS. Good for you! I'll just wait for Muramasa and Dragons Crown...and hopefully God Eater 2 crosses the vast blue ocean to the west annnndd....maybe valhala knights 3 and ys. But for know, I'll just get atalier totori or whatever and maybe black rock shooter.
