I've never been a fan of the Souls series and this doesn't look like the game that will change my opinion on it alas, but I'm sure it'll still be mega popular

Am I the only one here tempted to get this game based on its actual gameplay then..? lol

I've been looking for an RPG that has a semi-turn based combat dynamic like this one seems to have for a while now. Something a bit slower and tactical than Dragon Age but not fully turn based either. Are there any other RPG's out there with a similar system?

This though does bring me on @Riririn to finding myself living proof against your quite bizarre assumption that everyone who would play this game would do so purely to ogle some computer characters within and are basement-dwelling loners with no hope or even wish of obtaining a partner. I'd be insulted if I didn't find it so funny! lol

I've never heard of the series before today and I can't say I've ever found a game character sexy before either lol
I can appreciate that there are people who will though and can perhaps see why Jade would have felt a bit uncomfortable perhaps playing a game littered with innuendos and scantily clad anime girls.
It wouldn't be my first choice for characters, but personally such things wouldn't even register to me as a gamer as I'm there for the gameplay and perhaps the story if it's a good one, I couldn't care less if the game included certain characters for fan services for a certain fan demographic as long as they weren't doing anything illegal or really dodgy lol

Well I am surprised by this review, I expected or at least hoped for a higher score from what I've seen of the game.

I don't know if it's because I'm not generally a hardcore JRPG fan, but I really love the combat I've seen from this game so far. I think it being so simple and 'easy' appeals to me, maybe that's because I'm not a hardcore veteran JRPG fan like I say? But the game just oozes style and fun from what I've seen and I'm still gonna give it a shot on Friday. I'm just a bit less excited now after reading this review! lol

I'm intrigued by the PS4 re-release. Is it worth getting? I've heard good things about it but I'm still on the fence a bit.

Great review thanks! I'm 50/50 bout picking this up, how does it play @Jake3103? Is it point and click style where you tell the character where you want them to move to, etc?

Got both the moment I heard they were out lol Manhunt is criminially undeelooked because of all the violence controversy, it's actually a really great, tense stealth game.

I've never got into Bully in the past, just felt like a cheap GTA cash in with none of the fun of Rock star at their best and I'm struggling to get into it again now on 2nd time of asking. I'll give it more time though and hopefully it'll grow on me. I loved Skool Daze in the 80's! 😁

This I'd the first review on here I've disagreed with. The game isn't perfect (what game is?), there are some hilarious animations and collision detection at times and the new grappling system I find is too slow to make for effective, flowing transitions between moves. For example, having to hold the stick to transition position on the ground for a solid 3-4 seconds while you get pummeled by your opponent is not fun or realistic!

However, it is still a great, fun title and the new system is still much more tactical and easy to use than the old. Also, I've been able to win via submission in multiple fights in career mode so far; the mini game seems the same as last year's and I'm not finding the AI that much more challenging so I don't know why the reviewer here had so much trouble.

The clinching is a bit clunky I find, which again can be due to the restricted and slow new grappling system.
But overall I'd still give the game a 7 or 8 score for being an otherwise fun and realistic sim of the sport despite some frustrating issues.
