haha.
Well so far, gameplay wise, im not sure what to think. Moving to 3D seems to have removed moving forward and back movements, and probably the area capture cards along with it. Maybe im just not far enough yet. They also tweaked how cards are selected a smidge. I think the move to 3D kind of made moving back and forth a bad idea anyway, as just handling left and right movement, sword lock ons, and regular shots all up close against fast moving enemies requires as much skill imo as the earlier battle network titles. Also, the sword lock on isnt as cheesy as it sounds, the enemy still moves as you dash forward so you can miss, and you can also get hit by enemy fire. Its not a teleport, its a dash. That keeps timing important. You also get a free random card to use in the same turn when you hit enemies in counter, which I think kinda makes the game easy so far, but we'll see.
Im still on the fence of which I prefer, old BattleNetworks or this new stuff, but I will say its at least different, and at the 6th title in the series I think ill take that at face value.
Basically you have these special glasses that allow you to see the wave dimension or some shit, and you can use access spots to fuse with teh jerk alien and wander around wave world, hack into various objects...things you used to do in the earlier games. There isn't some dumb license crap, youre just trying to save the world n shit.
The story is 10x better than the earlier titles because again, its different and it doesnt reek of pokemon. I love how everyones manipulative and a jerk. The main character does nothing but skip school and has no fukin annoying friends, or friends period lol.
Im KINDA bothered by the focus on connected to other people's DS to link up or whatever. The tutorial presented put a lot of emphasis on this, but im hoping the in-game BrotherBands are as good, cause I dunno:
A.) Who the fuck else I know that will buy this.
B.) Who the fuck else wants to go through the hassle of the confusing host client 80 options link up menu.
Thats all ive got so far, I got about an hour in last night before switching to brave story.
