1.) Why does God use a cell phone?
a.) who is his provider?
2.) Why am I wearing blue jeans?
3.) Why doesnt Lucifel just do all this instead of me?
4.) Why is it God will wait 300 years for me to find the bad guys, then bitch to Lucifel because its going to take me another 7 hours to capture them?
-
Japan.

Haha

Haha is right.
Pretty fun game, though.

Haven't played the game, but how do you know he wasn't bitching constantly throughout the whole 300 years?
-
Well theyre all like you found em and it only took 300 years! and im like cool im awesome- then gods all bitchin cause it'll take 7 more hours. Just bad messaging from God. Way 2 Go, God.
-
Don't worry, the game will be over in less than 7 hours.

He musta meant in impatient God time

This game is actually really fucking awesome. A testament to both videogames being art and absolutely incredible vision.

Japanese interpretations of Christian theology has to be some of the strangest things ever, and it's so often portrayed in games too. or maybe it's just weird seeing a modern, super advanced nation do essentially what we think of savages or Red Indians doing, misinterpreting or synthesising the theological elements with their own unknowable worldview.
(this was in Honest Hearts and portrayed very well, btw)
-
Yeah, I think that's it. I mean, the same kind of thing happens with English on t-shirts, too. The English, they love the idea of it, but when they use it on shirts, it doesn't make sense, to no-one's tears.

uh, no, it's garbage. Horrid combat, atrocious framerate, contsant hiccups while in battle, level design is shit. Platforming is absolutely bad.

The combat is incredibly deep, especially on harder difficulties, play it on PS3, play it on PS3, level design is simplistic but not terrible. Platforming could use some work, but other than that, great title.
Ya'll would surprised how closely El Shaddai follows the Book of Enoch.

If the Bible had a guy in jeans slaying angels, trust me, I would have read it. Instead I get rape, masturbation, and inbred sex.

Seconded.
-
The Book of Enoch is not considered canonical with the Bible, nor is it in the Bible; it is an apocryphal text.

I'm on Level 7, G-ranking HARD mode.
The combat is such a frustrating piece of pile. The huge offender is that you can't cancel out of a combo. You can also not defend in the air. I have to hop around and do jump kicks on enemies because they just plow right through my attacks.
I have such hatred for this slop o shit... I want to go play Dante's Inferno instead

It sounds like your issues are more that you can't get the flow/rhythm of the battle system moreso than the actual game itself.

I dunno, Demi has completed some crazy hard games.

Game is trash. I got my 1000, I'll never have to play this again, only 200 copies were sold, they will never make another one again.
I can take solace knowing that. Enjoy your garbage religious mindsludge.

We played different games, El Shaddai is art.
-
art indeed. should be prominently featured in galleries world wide, displayed in a giftshop replica of Duchamp's foutain.

The first part I definitely agree with, the last part is silly. :)

It should be displayed in a museum, away from people's homes.

Everything I've heard about this game is that it has amazing style, beautiful visuals, and an interesting story (which goes to shit in the end). I've also heard that the actual gameplay and combat parts are pretty bad.
Err, this is supposed to be a game, right? Why do these "games as art" projects always end up playing poorly?

You've heard wrong. Aside from some aggravating platforming, the combat is surprisingly deep and, like Bayonetta from last year, only gets deeper when you play on harder difficulties. I disagree with the "story goes to shit" criticism, as well. The ending is a bit anticlimactic, but it's not bad.
The best way to describe El Shaddai is that it's the Nier of 2011, or perhaps The Void of 2011. It's going to have its detractors, but it has the "diamond in the rough" aesthetic like those games had.
