Poll: Is anyone actually gonna get El Shaddai?

[soul_rune1984]

I enjoyed the demo and it's beautiful to look at and I liked the music too. I will be getting this game. I might wait till the price goes down, depending on how long the game is.

Am I the only person that think that sounds like Mexican porn?

I played the demo, and it'd work better as a music video. The gameplay was three kinds of shit and utterly pointless, it was obviously designed as an artistic wankery show-case, complete with a shitty plot that seemed utterly impossible to care about.

Actually, that'd be a better game. "Is it possible to make me care about this stupid bullshit?" Problem is, the game would be incredibly difficult, to the point of impossibility. So, definite skip.

The demo seemed okay, but I am waiting more for the reviews to come in to see if I buy it or not. If it's actually got some story and length/depth to it, I'll grab it. Otherwise? Wait a while.

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.

What this fine fellow said.

Nope, I just don't see it as anything I would play. More like God of War with a jewish/christian mythology behind it and loads of LSD in the graphics design department.

 

[soren7550]

Nah, I don't. The only reason I showed any interest in it was because of the Escapist's contest, which I pretty quickly lost interest in due to the fact (last I checked) the guy in the lead had 300+ more angels than the guy in 2nd, while I had a measly 6 or so.

From the looks of it the story is gonna be a tangled mess that is never explained

 

[Smooth Operator]

I was thinking about it for the pwetty art and neat combat, turns out they want $60 for this
Laughed myself to tears when I found out, so no I won't be getting it, maybe someday when it get's to the deserved $15 price tag.

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.

I played the demo n its not for me it doesnt look bad but its just not for me.

 

[hazabaza1]

Nope. Looks interesting, but from what I've seen, the combat seems pretty bad which is generally important in a hack'n'slash.

 

[Akihiko]

I'll be getting it when it drops in price. Not paying the full £40 though.
