...and if it's true about that stupid angel sequence everytime you die - I definitely would have rated it the same...that crap pisses me off. | just got the game last night. i don't understand people hating on the graphics... its nothing special but frankly me and my friend thought it looked great. combat feels awful at first... however after 5 minutes it was fluid and i was destroying stuff with advanced combos and wat not. The story is part 1/3 of a class norse myth i believe.. so alls good on that front. i like it so far only played around 2 hours but it seems really fun....
that being said yes everytime you die an angel (valkryie) comes down and pulls you up to heaven and then you are ressed about 100 m back from where you died. It is extremely annoying...the first time i saw it iw as like this is awesome, now i'm like jamming buttons to try and skip it lol. but hardly takes away from the fun of the game. characters are EXTREMELY customizable with the three talent trees. people complain about only 5 classes, well each of those classes has hundreds of different spec opportunities.
all in all i might be disappointed if i had just spent my last dime on this game and now i was eating bread for 3 weeks just to make up for it. but i didn't, and its fun, so rent it if you can... or wait till its at gamestop used for less than 54.99 but its extremely entertaining and fun.
