    It looks pretty Nito from what I've seen.

    Story trailer: https://youtu.be/6RZQJ43c86o (not much gameplay)
    Official Reveal trailer: https://youtu.be/Vf9SjtrXXT0 (most is gameplay)
    13 min. Gameplay vid.: https://youtu.be/AYHKgvciOyc (I haven't looked at this one yet so I don't know the quality of gameplay shown)
    And a decently accurate comment by some Youtuber: "When Dark souls, Monsterhunter and Shadow of the Colossus had a threesome.."

    gotta say my first instinct from the two trailers was it's gonna be a game that is lapped up by critics, but not all that special. Kinda like skyrim or cod if you get what i mean.

    It'll probably be a decent game, but it's just gonna follow a tried and tested formula without bringing any kind of unique dimension to it. Then again i could be wrong silly

    It looks pretty unique to me, but it certainly doesn't look like it'll change gaming forever like Mario or something.

    Watched the gameplay trailer and dunno what to think of it really it looks pretty fun but you fight in as team and could be pretty easy because of it.

    I dunno, i wanna see what reviewers think of it.

    They say it's awesome and it'll be crap.

    That's how it usually works with reviewers.

    come on, critics said dark souls was great, and Demons too, weren't wrong there silly

    They get it right a lot of the time, but they get caught up too much in hype and popularity influences their views too much a lot of the time

    Most reviews I see are too extreme.
    Games will have a low rating because of one thing and hyped games will have a high rating regardless of problems.
    DS and DrkS do have really high ratings but have problems that should've lowered the rating.
    In the words of Total Biscuit:"Ratings should not exist."
    Metacritic is a perfect example.
    User ratings are low because of the smallest of problems, but reviewer ratings are high and the problems are ignored.
    I may or may not be taking this too far.
    Oh well.

    EDIT:I'm not saying that DrkS is bad either, heh, I can't get away from it!

    you feel demons and dark should have lower ratings? really?

    I'd disagree with that, they don't have any significant problems to me.

    but i find yeah that over hyped games are given scores regardless of merit.

    A lower rating? Yes, but not by much.
    There were problems with DrkS (never played DS though *sad face*) that were not taken into account by the reviewers that should have been.

    Errmmm if you do not mind me saying so silly and if you do Well What is it hahaha kidding but they are adding a new and unique aspect to that game. In fact I don't know why it is not being talked about more.

    Supposedly, you can create your comrades or bring them from that dimesion (forgot what it is called) You can then use them and send them back in that dimmesion. Another player can pick that same character you created and use him equip him and give him experience. So when you grab him again the new found items and equipment and knowledge will be at your disposal.

    That was the gist of it but I am not sure if it works exaclty like that or there are other wrinkles to it.

    I will wait for review before picking this one up.

    I'll explain that in a bit of detail.(I've been looking at this game for a long time.)
    Somewhere near the beginning of the game you create(?) an ally for yourself, called a pawn.
    There's an area called the Rift(?) where you can get two more pawns that other players have created.In the Rift you can also send yours to be brought to another's world.
    Depending on where each pawn has been (yours in another world or one from a different world) they can help you find secret areas and can give tips against enemies. The pawn has to have experience from a different world, so they will give advice against an enemy they've fought. If not they can only fight and learn how to fight effectively against that enemy as you learn how to fight them at the same time.

    EDIT:Anyone like this wall of text?

    that sounds interesting, all i got from the gameplay video was you had a load of NPC followers, didnt realise they came from other players or you created them.

    still though, im not sure how important or central this feature is doesn't seem like it would be, but sounds like a good gimmick
