comments are always so much more credible when they begin with an insult…

I know you have the three different stances, but as I said, it’s a jumped up version of rock-paper-scissors. I’m willing to bet anyone who is a couple of hours into it can master the system so quickly they’ll be able to flick between it at super speeds, like a button basher. I still think it will be a good game, but I think it’ll only be an A game, not an AAA like the PS3 seems to need (and the Wii, for that matter).

@Joel:

Heavenly Sword isn’t a “simple” button masher because the devs have developed different stances that allow for you to perform different types of attacks. But either way you slice it, it still is a button masher, but not as simple as God Of War or Devil May Cry.

Heh, funny, cause I watched the repeat of it this morning.

Honestly, I cannot see what the fuss is about. Graphics as shiny as the sun…errr, that looks to be it. I laughed when they said “it’s not a simple button basher”. Well, clearly, it is. The combat system looks to be a jumped-up rock-paper-scissors game worked into a few buttons and the story is yer average retribution. Will it be fun? Probably. Will it bring anything new to the table? Doubtful. Will it live on? Give it a few months, then it will fade away.

I could of course be entirely wrong, but there was nothing truly wow about it. And the SIXAXIS control of the projectile’s was just silly. For a game that is supposed to be ‘a pure combat game’ you’d think they’d want to take in physics, not throw it upside down.
