I played through quite a bit* of this game on the PC and kept thinking "this would be better on console"

*I got bored a couple hours after I gained dragon form.

Yeah as did I with the dragon part, crappy since the rest was quite good.

I think the fact you get blasted to hell in the dragon part once you get past a certain point took away the fun…to me that part ruined the whole game, which really sucks cuz I liked it.

Having the towere and sending out the people to get materials wasn't compelling to me. It was an interesting idea, but it didn't hook me. The combat would be better on console, period. I think it'll make a great console RPG.

This game did humor better than any game I've ever experienced. It didn't take itself seriously, but didn't go too far or too silly. Just smartly written, and made me smile many times.

I wasn't a big fan of the dragon form aspect of the game either. But those of you who quit early upon receiving dragon form are missing out on quite a bit of excellent gaming… and even after you acquire dragon form there is more gameplay in human form than dragon form, just so you know.

According to Lar, two files went "lost" in the transfer process, and this can cause problems :
