The reviews for this game are all over the place. I'm interested in this game but I just can't pull the trigger on a purchase. I almost bought it before ending up with the stylish but disappointing Suda 51 game, Shadows of the Damned. You're making me lean towards a buy, though......

Fun fact: For a long time after, I thought this game was call "Cel Shaddia" based on the wonky box art logo!


d21lewis, listen man, you should never listen to reviews, or watch any, you will enjoy your games much more that way, trust me on this.

the moment i did this, is really the moment i REALLY apprieciated all the games i buy, and to me, unlike most people think, the japanese industry haven't "died" its the gamers that are changed focusing too much on reviews, everyone suddenly became a critic,  and thinking "hey so this part is bad according to this review" "this part is good according to that review" rather than playing games for what they are, and how they're meant to be played.

Ah. the good ol' days of blackouts... it was mostly good... the other part had me miss lots of good releases...

Funnily enough, I get better WITH reading the review (if it's bad), I'm like "yeah whatever they can't enjoy games this is gonna rule".

Also, "Japan is done" is a joke in itself...

hey its not total black out, i do follow gaming news thats the only way i'll know when games are released, i just don't watch or read reviews anymore, just sometimes for fun AFTER i actually finish the game xD

Only the demo... which was engaging and amazing...
The art is also awesome... is there a special edition out there?


searching google i didn't find a special edition, i would actually buy it if i find it, i love to listen to the soundtrack, but for this game , much like nier if you played that, the soundtrack goes so well with what is happening in the game so its the best way to listen to it.

by the way i haven't played nier much yet, i'm only passed the first part, i have too many games that i didn't play yet =[

Too bad... or good? I'm swamped with spec.eds recently anyway :P

I'm in the same situation as you are however...

(the wave part in the demo is great, as is the combat in general - I found it quite challenging)


i didn't play the Demo, its this right?

i haven't reached that part in the game,  the game actually start in a very cool way, and it actually breaks the fourth wall lol,  i don't want to spoil it,  but like i said keep holding the controller.

Yes! Exactly!

I can't wait to get it - after I get all the other stuff I need for this year (list is growing for some reason, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)


haha, i feel your pain, what i always do is wait for more games to release and by the time that happens, the slightly older games get cheaper, and gets patched ...ect ect, thus making me buy lots of games whenever i go to a game store, though i'm broke at the moment, i still haven't got Ico and SOTC =/ , which is actually quite ironic, since i said to myself a million times this is the one game where i will buy it as soon as it hit shelf, fate can be ironic though xD



I'm glad to hear it's great. I bought it since it looked interesting to me and it's development was led by the character designer for Okami. My backlog of games is growing rapidly again, and I decided to relive Ico and Sotc first. 2 brilliant games, it's great to be back in their worlds.
With Zelda coming soon and Ni No Kuni coming to ps3 early next year I've no more reason to play brown shooters :)

lol, its also sad that people think all games nowadays are brown, i think they're just too ignorant to look.



El Shaddai had so much potential, but it mostly falls flat. A repetitive hack-and-slash game needs more to spice it up than the simple façade of depth.

My friend bought it and was raving about every part of it. Ill tell you more in a few weeks after we do a dark souls/el shaddai swap.

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

I was slightly excited. Started the demo. Couldn't jump over the first hole. Turned it off. Never got back.



I loved the demo and I really want to get this game but theres too many games I have to get in November (and October to!) so I'll wait for the inevitable cheap price on Amazon



It's just that simple.
