Why do you expect ten people to attack Nariko at the same time? It takes room to swing a sword, they'd just get in each others way. 1-3 people engaging her at once seems right to me. 


Was just about to mention that.

In fact even 3 people fighting one person using swords is meant be unbalancing and offputting for the threesome (they don't know when to lunge and they crowd into each other).

Obviously that would just be ridiculous 15 people attacking at once.....theres no room!! some would have to jump off a high wall and attack her from the air, and some could crawl under their companions legs and attack from below.......I mean come on!!!

It might be very difficult to put that much AI into the game, but so far it looks like the ones who aren't fighting are circling around, looking for openings, so in that respect it looks quite realistic.


Oh!! I have a great idea!!

Enemies should be able to hurt each other!! Let's say Nariko was attacked by 4-5 people at the same time, she would have a dodge and parry move that would hurl the opponent into another and kill them. Then the AI would have a reason not to attack each other.

I expect the retail version to be more difficult. Games in this genre are usually some of the most difficult there are. As with most demos, I am sure this is on an easy setting. That being said, I still got my ass kicked once or twice in the demo.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I thought this might be a kick-ass title.

I don't fully trust recent negative reviews posted, and therefore I'm still uncertain about its overall quality. Trailers were beautiful. Gameplay footages seemed fun. I hope it will deliver.

I also hope that the story will be interesting as well -- what is she fighting for?; does the protagonist have any rivals?; why is her sword clan so special? etc.

I *looks* really pretty but really repetitive.
