@goldwynccq haha, true, chronostasis is your best friend, the time limit overall is not an issue man, but the fact that you to limit the exploration, and quests to a day, can be quite frustrating, also you got any tips for beating the boss for the Wildlands first quest, he is giving me a hard time, had to teleport back to finish all other main quests, now only he remains. Also, does the game count down to zero days, or 1 day is the last one, cheers.
Love the game, but can't help but feel that the time limit, is a necessary evil, it adds much depth to the story, yet hugely impacts the fun of exploration, especially since the game has some of the best expolrable areas since FF12, also difficulty spikes can be quite insane, and no idea why the leveling up has been limited to side quests only. Overall it's a great game, which surprisingly successfully incorporates many new ideas, but holds them back by implementing unnecessary change...
That jump at 4:00, amazing.
Well said, I got to agree, the difficulty spikes can also be frustrating, btw I came across an explanation about how Eradia works, hope it helps you.
Each main quest you complete adds a day up to 13 (12 + the final day)
Side quests can give you a "extra" day between the 12th day and the final day.
Each side quest(depending on it's rating) contributes to the extra day you need to reach a value of "1"
One star ...
Agree, been playing for a couple of days, and I am loving it so far, many people will overlook it, just cause it's related to the XIII saga. Also most of the reviews pointed out that the time limit was annoying, which is absolutely false, as long as you do story missions and a couple of side ones, you could take all the time you want while playing.
Been playing it for the past 4 days, loving it so far, defo recommend it.
Finally a review by someone who actually liked the trilogy.
Really enjoyed the first Castlevania LOS, hope the second one is on par, 4 doesn't sound promising, but I have disagreed with Edge before.
He is a multiplat developer, so he is trying to sell his game on both platforms, it would be awkward if he was saying otherwise.
Some of the reviews are really contradictory Pozzle, CVG even deducted points stating that the time limit was very short. Guess I will find out soon, thanks for the input, defo puts my mind at ease.
Great review, got me hyped for the game.
Very well written review, kinda what I expected, bit worried about the time limit though. Will pick it up soon.
Same here
Great review Matty, I see you have been putting your PC to a good use. Thinking about picking this up for PS3.
The most awarded game in history, is a PS exclusive, try harder next time.
Only a digital release in Europe, screw you SE.
“After our first pitch to Sony they told us that we weren’t asking them for enough money… they said they liked what we pitched, but it wasn’t going to work with the amount of money we asked for. That’s not usually how it works, you usually get asked to do even more than you’ve pitched and then get hammered down on the price [laughs].”
Seriously, hats off to Sony for this, and for allowing Hegarty to retain the ip's ownership.
Same here man, Covenant's ending is still one of my all time favs.
Well deserved, congrats Kutaragi-san
A sci-fi game is exactly what I wanted to see from a studio such as SSM, really sucks that it got cancelled.
