SBESTER'S PROFILE

Prettiest review I've ever seen here.

Congrats on the positive changes, Zephyr, sounds like they went a long way. I just finished Metal Gear 1 and 2 with the intention of finally playing through the whole series, I may as well give this one a download as well.

I've yet to play demon destiny, although I joined this community right around the time of its creator's mental breakdown (multiple personality syndrome?). I do have to say though, with this game, I felt in complete control of my character during battles at all times. I kept expecting to have issues with speed ups and downs, or random other problems that just never seemed to materialize.
@chana: If you can make it through without cheating, I recommend it. After a few HP upgrades it gets much easier. I've played a lot of action battle systems on RM before this one, and I loved that this one is simple yet so very different and functional.

I think my comment belongs here, referring to the review rather than trying to fuel the fires of this heated debate...

Despite the ratings, I really do believe there are some valid complaints here. I'm especially focusing in on the lag issues, and the random crashes. This makes a game unplayable, in my opinion, and when a game is this popular, there needs to be a way for people to be aware of these bugs. Sometimes harsh reviews like this are the only warning signs that will resonate with people. If I had this many problems with lagging and crashing in an rm game, I'd be pretty harsh too.

I think what needs to happen now is for Nico to find solutions to these game breaking problems, and take into consideration some of the other listed criticisms in this review. They aren't invalid, as slow text and pacing are amongst the biggest complaints in any of this site's reviews.

Of course I'm not persuaded by this one review to stay away from this game forever, but I really hope Nico takes the opportunity to tend to these faults so that when people like me finally do decide to give this game a chance (it won't happen until a full version), we aren't plagued with the same bugs that made Sai so spiteful towards it.

Anyways, now to Sai: you can't make a critically successful game and expect people to approach your low review (of another critically successful game) in the same way they would any other's. They're just going to assume you're being competitive. I'm not saying that people are right to be personally attacking you for this, but that's exactly why they're doing it. With the gift of popularity comes waning faith in your reliability, no matter how well you back your opinions. I'm not saying that if you were anyone else this wouldn't be generating as much discussion, but I sincerely doubt the personal attacks would be present.

Yay for Buffy speaky!
