Indeed, I am looking forward to fighting foes that take flight, while you are climbing them. Imagine if you could do that with the dragons in Skyrim.

The game would probably crash haha.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

The game would probably crash haha.

Ha that is exactly what I was thinking.

 

[ironcreed]

The game would probably crash haha.

Or the dragons would fly backwards, lol. Seriously, it's a fantastic game, I just want to see the combat evolve more than it has for that series. But that is another story.

 

[LProtag]

Damn, I didn't see it.

There's supposed to be something shown from 2-3 right? I wonder what exactly it'll be.

 

[Hazanko]

Anyone know how the armour will work? My pet peeve with RPGs is that you get shoddy looking high level gear and beautiful low level gear. Not many allow you to keep the style. For example, the Berserk armour looks amazing but wouldn't I have to replace it for average looking high level gear?

 

[ironcreed]

Damn, I didn't see it.

Not sure, but they chimed in and said the streams of the new build are tomorrow and Sunday.

 

[Anteater]

I noticed one of the achievement is

Spoiler

Completed the adventure a second time. I wonder if there will be any changes when you play the game in new game+, since they seems to be encouraging a second play through

 

[joe2187]

You know what I would like to see in a game that uses New game +? Different beginnings, characters, quests that are only available after you start NG+ almost like a mini sequal or side story to the main game included into the main plot of the game, or something different to mess around with your second time around.

The best thing to come out of the recent RPG hybrids like this and Kingdoms of Amalur is the influence of character action gameplay. For too long have these games been getting praised despite their floaty, awkward combat.

Crud now I have no idea what class I want to play as.

Not "influence", they simply started making character action games. Itsuno is behind Devil May Cry 3/4, so naturally he can make an eye-catching game. Kingdoms of Amalur didn't have the pedigree unfortunately.

 

[Zeliard]

One of the many reasons why I love Skyrim.

On the subject of crafting, I thought Witcher 2 did it very well as a modern example. It was varied, fun, and very useful.

 

[QisTopTier]

So mystic knights have a fucking air dash?

Sold

Well, I used "influence" since it's not purely a character action game in the classic sense. If I'm being specific, it's the melee, defense, and hitstun parts of the combat I'm pointing out. It's actually an action/reaction system now instead of flailing away on hit sponges who don't flinch, or being a sponge yourself because the game is too cumbersome to allow for quick reactions. I don't know why devs and critics think it's "okay" to let mediocre combat get a pass, and I hope games like this prove otherwise.

 

[ironcreed]

Yep, still going Assassin on the first run. Mystic Knight and Magic Archer look plenty fun as well, though. Replay value, folks.

 

[LProtag]

People playing the demo on the stream right now from the show floor.

 

[Anteater]

haha don't know why I find the Perilous Sigil skill kind of hilarious

 

[ironcreed]

haha don't know why I find the Perilous Sigil skill kind of hilarious

It reminded me of throwing a ball up against a wall and playing catch with yourself, lol. There will be some fun moments in this one for sure.

 

[MrBelmontvedere]

They're jumping on the "if there's enough interest" bandwagon. Publishers want PC gamers on their knees before they announce a port.

well I for one am interested!

else I'll be forced to play it on my geriatric PS3 :[

The Sky Dance skill has just skyrocketed my desire to play Mystic Knight.

 

[Kyoufu]

The Sky Dance skill has just skyrocketed my desire to play Mystic Knight.

That is what I'm planning on playing. Looks so good!

Yeah I love how they added a whole bunch of stuff to do when youre not fighting like picking up NPCs. But even in battle I can see that you can still mess around haha

Well I guess the real PAX stream is tomorrow

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Oh mah glob! That Mystic Knight's Firecounter was awesome!

 

[Anteater]

so many moves in this game, it's gonna be so fun

 

[Supermanisdead]

I was for sure going to go as an Assassin, but Magick Archer has some crazy spell arrows. I can't wait to max every job.

 

[LProtag]

I really wanna know more about the Magick Archer, like if Strider or Mage augments give benefits to the magick bow.

 

[KorrZ]

It was my suspicion all along but now.. Mystic Knight best class confirmed. It needs to be May already, I'm more excited for this than Diablo 3 at this point.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

I'm going to dedicate myself to making a whole team of assassin's work .. climbing all over big monsters and just going stab cray.

We shall call ourself the Foot!

 

[disappeared]

so many moves in this game, it's gonna be so fun

Looks good.

I wonder if Rogues/Assassins will have have their own types of parries.

 

[VashTS]

Looks good.

Incase you can't watch the video...That is the assassin class.

 

[disappeared]

Incase you can't watch the video...That is the assassin class.

Why the fuck is he holding a shield!? Daggers bro.

I mean yeah I guess Assassin types vary, but I dunno.

 

[spirity]

The shield thing is a bit odd. Poisons, dual wielding daggers, stealth, evasion, assassinate, backstabs are what comes to my mind with assasins. But a shield suggests face to face defensive combat.

 

[QisTopTier]

Assassins in this game are more of a master of weapons type deal. You know someone deadly with what ever you give them

 

[Data West]

Why the fuck is he holding a shield!? Daggers bro.

I mean yeah I guess Assassin types vary, but I dunno.

Demon's Souls assassins used shields and no one said anything about it. The old buckler.

 

[KorrZ]

Seeing the Perilous Sigil video, and then the Sky dance one...All I can think of is trying to time it so I can throw a goblin into the sigil, have him bounce forward and catch him in the air with a Sky Dance boot to the face.

The combat in this game is going to be so fun

 

[disappeared]

Demon's Souls assassins used shields and no one said anything about it. The old buckler.

I must just play DS a strange way then. I never have a buckler equipped. Got a parrying dagger and just roll/backstab.

 

[MidnightRider]

Looking forward to this!

This right here is describes why I love Japanese games.

 

[Neuromancer]

This game sounds great but I'm going to have a real tough time deciding between this or Risen 2 coming out the same day. =/

 

[Cyrano]

You could just wait for one or the other to drop in price while buying one on launch day.

 

[Totobeni]

It's like someone at Capcom saw Demon's Souls and said let add Devil May Cry combat craziness to it

Gimme it now!!

 

[LProtag]

Gonna be some giveaways on the stream tomorrow. Possibly those cardboard shield things and hats, depending on what Greg finds.

 

[abundant]

You can't have a team of all Assassin's, because the Assassin class is a hybrid class, which pawns can't be. At best, an all Strider team can use longbows and daggers.

agreed.

This is a Japanese game (from a proven action game developer) so it's not a surprise that the combat is actually decent.

We've still got a long way before Bethesda offers anything even remotely as good, (melee) combat-wise.

Have you ever played Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter and Nier?

i didn't know it was possible that my hype metter would overload ... thanks dragon dogma...
