AMERK'S PROFILE

Brilliant, or better yet, the Bed Bug.

1. Max also left a review indicating his problems with the boss, at level 3. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
2. Drak stated that he should have been at least level 4. His own video shows him at level 5.
3. He's indicated previously (if I'm not mistaken) that he's increased the difficulty on that boss, so perhaps on the previous version you could be at level 3, but there was no way that'd be possible in this one.
4. You're right, we shouldn't need to test weapons, but that's exactly what I had to do since all the weapons missed equally the same. I don't give a damn what it says about accuracy, all weapons I used missed 50% of the time. So beyond that I guess it's a matter of testing all my mutations until I have the right combo.
5. Regardless of the accuracy, it should never take so long to level up a character. 1/2 hour just to get to level 2. Multiplied by 5. 2 and 1/2 freaking hours in the first dungeon?
6. I'm not sure what this back and forth rant is going to prove. I refuse to alter my review and I stand behind my score 100%, so let's just move on.
7. Drak's fanboys really need to get a life.

Drak, I like how you completely disregarded the fact that it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to level up 5 times, which you practically need to be at in order to kill the first boss. Even then, I nearly had my assed handed to me.

Accuracy aside, I'm beginning to think you do not accept criticism well, and my only regret is that I even tried to offer constructive feedback. However, I do not have time for a whiny game developer that gets his briefs tied up into a knot whenver somebody has something negative to say about their game. As far as I'm concerned now, I could care less if this game ever gets completed. Continue to lash out at the people trying to help, and you may find very few willing to play anything beyond this demo, if they even get that far.

In any case, it's time for me to move on. So ciao!

Edit: One last thought, I do take issue with the fact that you think I'm completely clueless. I've been playing role playing games ever since the very first Final Fantasy, and I know some games require a learning curve. Yes, I did use the mutations, and they helped to some degree, but that takes MP, something I'm very selective on using, and attacks during normal battles should not miss much as they did (especially when equipped with a varying degree of weapons). I apologize that I was not willing to invest 5 hours fighting in the same area just so that I can buy the expensive guns you think I should have owned.

As for Vincent and his lightning power, yes I did use it, but little help it does against the first boss when there's a bunch of rats chomping the heck out of my team and Vincent's lightning magic hits random enemies. The boss rat has a hefty amount of HP and calls a second round of rats halfway through.

A learning curve is one thing, a random luck of the draw (as this game seemed to be built around) is another, and makes for a poor game design.

That may be true, and I don't fault some weapons having better accuracy than others, but all my people were equipped with different weapons to test which ones worked better, and they still continued to miss half of the time. As for guns, there was no way I could afford purchasing them at their high cost, unless I was willing to invest even more time for level/gold grinding than I already had.

So basically, in theory, you'd either need to spend the time to purchase a set of guns, or stick with the "crappy weapons" throughout the demo. And even if you managed to fight long enough to purchase the guns, that would only help one person with more accuracy, while the others still missed half their attacks, unless you bought them all a pair of guns.
