So I see all these ads for the game, and I wanna hear from my fellow Escapists, do you plan on buying the game or not? Personally, I'll wait for a little bit and rent it off of Gamefly if I have nothing better to do.
Poll: Is anyone actually gonna get El Shaddai?

I like those types of games. But there is too much good shit this fall to spend my money on it in this case.
Next year? Probably.

The Ads themselves are really starting to make me question buying this game. If anything I will probably wait until it's cheap before purchasing it.
That's a very nice model sir.Pipotchi said:

Too religiony and pretty crappy. So no.
Combat takes place miles away from the screen on my big tv, and there's just nothing about it that says, "Phoenix! You brilliant, completely epic person! Play this!"

I am. Loved the whole of what I played in the demo. Felt like Killer7 if it had been an action game.
Why? (I was going to be a business double major at one point; I find the perception of ad campaigns interesting)TheCrownlessKing said:
Personally, I'm poor grad student, promoted from poor college student, but so far, it looks like one of the games I have to put on my, "Games I want to play at some point in my life." And I haven't even got to play Okami or Shadow of the Colossus. Damn, I'm so behind! >.<
It looks visually pleasing, if nothing else; I can't imagine them messing up the actual gameplay part to the point that I can't enjoy its looks.
But hopefully it will be great.
And even more hopefully, I will win the game. :3
I don't own any of the consoles its on, so I guess not.
And even if I did, these ads would really make me reconsider. They lag out my internet so bad, and make me wait so long before I can watch, my now laggy, show.

is one of the Judaic names of God. El Shaddai is conventionally translated as God Almighty.Pipotchi said:
While the translation of El as "god" is straightforward, the literal meaning of Shaddai is the subject of debate.
This is Japan....whose main strategy is to search Wikipedia (as I did) and then turn it into...<insert anime/manga/video game/hentai>
I have no interest in this....arty....religious....platform combat game
Even if I was into that kind of game, the annoying ads all over this site have totally turned me off of it. It's almost as bad as the DNF campaign here, and we saw how wonderful that turned out. Maybe if every game that advertises on the Escapist fails miserably, they'll stop doing it.
El-what?
*internet search*
...
Huh. Looks vaguely interesting I suppose. Although the colour scheme makes it look like my screen is on a mild acid trip.
Also, I am supposed to be able to tell whether the protagonist is male or female. Because I can't.

I played the demo, and I love the visuals and all, but the combat felt kinda meh. There was only one button to use for attacking, meaning you essentially pressed it until things died, and unless I missed something there was no dodge or any sort of counter (at least in the demo), just a breakable block, which really broke the already limited flow of things. I kept thinking to myself, if I just had a dodge or a counter rather than a block, I could stand it. But alas...
It's a game I want to like, but I don't think I can stomach the combat. That and the fact that I have a limited budget and there are other games coming out which I will probably enjoy more seems to add up to a "no" to this game for me.

Thought it was just some random MMO that will botch on launch. Then I saw a actual trailer and color me interested.
Nah.
It has some interesting visuals, but doesn't seem to have that edge that nudges it into being a purchase contender.

To be honest, I have no idea what the game is about and I don't really care. I see adverts for them everywhere, but they've yet to tell me what it is (is it an MMO? A JRPG? What?) or what it is about.
Besides, I don't have any of the newer consoles nor a good computer, so even if I wanted to it would still be no.

Fuck yes I'm getting it. When its price gets cut. Unless, of course, it turns out to be exceedingly long and/or awesome, in which case I'd consider getting it new.
