And here I thought that you people knew better than to judge a game by a simple demo. Of course it gets harder later on, and of course you don't get too know the characters fully during the short spawn of the demo. Later on the game handles profound moral issues and strong emotional relationships that players can connect to. I dare even say that they are even more rewarding and rich than many blockbuster games released recently.Hmm…well I certainly wasn't remotely emotionally invested to any of the characters in the demo. Maybe the writing gets better in the full game? I thought the demo was decent, but it was only the combat that I liked. The actual writing/dialog in the demo was pretty juvenile, kind of reminded me of playing a Saturday morning cartoon. But again, maybe it gets better in the full game.
Also as much as I liked the combat in the demo, I wouldn't remotely call it tough and visceral. Playing on hard I never came close to losing, and it mostly consisted of hitting attack over and over until the enemy was dead. Does it get much harder later on? It was fun, but it didn't seem like it had that much depth to it.
Surely you cannot expect the developers to cram all that into a small demo, can you?
The intricate dynamics of the combat system doesn't come into play until a while into the game to make sure that the game is welcoming enough for players new to the genre, because it would be a shame to exclude players from the experience just because they aren't NERDS that play PnP campains every lunch break, wouldn't it? The demo really was a blunder since it didn't show off the best sides of the game, that much is true. There's time limits, you can get into fights before you're ready for them and the combat system itself is way ahead of its competition in every sense of the word.
If you buy this game you don't pay for a game, you pay for an experience that will touch you deeply and entertain you for hundreds of hours.
