Itagaki says "Heavenly Sword is half-assed"

[hyp]

 

I've never played a good game where the developers put a big icon of the button you're supposed to press onscreen... I look at Heavenly Sword and it seems really half-assed, because it's asking you to do all these button-timing sequences but you are not getting much payoff from it.

Ill buy it for the visuals

i'm buying it too... i found it funny how he interpreted the QTEs.  hilarious.

I'm buying it too even though the gameplay doesn't look more than B-grade.  It's funny how there're already 3 PS3 owners on this board so far who are buying Heavenly Sword despite not thinking that highly of it.  I don't know if buying a game just to validate the purchase of a rarely used console is a good idea though.  I did that with Mario Strikers for the WII and that was a highly regrettable decision.

PS3! ITS A GAME TO PLAY

I dont like wii games, but there do seem to be more titles worth owning if you do like wii games lol.

HS seems decent enough by my own personal standards to warrant a purchase.  F.A.I.L. (lair) on the other hand is not something i can see myself purchasing.  just not my type of game.

I loved the demo to HS, so I'm definitely buying.  I actually like QTEs a lot.  I could say I slightly prefer HS gameplay over NG, but not much.

Its very GoW, which shouldnt suddenly be an issue for people as GoW titles are so beloved.

Itagaki is the best Sony troll.

QTEs and context-ultrasensitive autogameplay =

awesome soundtrack from Nitin Sawhney,

This is the most interesting thing I've heard yet about HS.
