  1. "Subpar voice acting"…Then shows great voice acting…

    "It's based on the book of Enoch, but it's incoherent"….Maybe read the book?

    "Leaving your head scratching which is a big flaw for a plotcentric game"….Isn't that called thinking???

    "I appreciate what El Shaddai was trying to do…"You don't because you don't describe what it was trying to do.

  2. Overly artistic? We need more developers who are willing to try new things you say? and thats what you say to them with the game? you think those words you say will inspire them? review is different from insulting. jeez this guy. this company.

  3. My mom got me this game yesterday and said that I would like it if I liked Final Fantasy. Now I'm debating if I should play this game or not. I mean I feel like I should so that it wouldn't be a complete waste of time/money and I don't want to be ungrateful about it.

  4. "button masher" what did he do, only play it on easy? If you try and button mash even in some sections of normal difficulty you won't get all the way through.

  5. How much you wanna bet IGN's review was based less on actual experience, and more on the fact that they don't like anything that has anything to do with the big G?

  6. Is this review a fucking joke? Did you have a bet at the office to see how many times you could say nonsensical in a review? I hate the stranglehold that IGN has on the gaming community, I type in El Shaddai review in and this piece of shit is the first thing to pop up. I knew I was wasting my time before I even clicked the link, I should have known better.

  7. IGN you completely missed on this review.  El Shaddai's artwork is amazing, and the 2D platforming is something that games of new have completely abandoned, which is a shame.  I will say the weapons and combat could use more depth.  Since you mentioned Castlevania, I think mimicking SOTN weapon system and discovery factor would be perfect for El Shaddai 2.

  8. i think the game is pretty badass in my opinion. i can tell how some people wouldnt like it, but if you give it a chance it keeps getting better. the battle system is a little weird at first but once you figure it out its pretty fun!

  9. The combat isn't about mashing the X button, that's what I expect how a complete idiot would play the game. The combo system is based around using one button but with timed assertions and pairing it with blocking and dodging. So, basically, fuck IGN.

  10. Gamers just aren't what they used to be, I mean you only played 1 hour and shut the game on. That's a far cry from giving El Shaddai a chance. You need to pay attention to whats going on and I'll agree that I was super confused at first, but after the first quarter of the game I got what was going on. Give it a try and dont give in to IGN's idiocy.

  11. And cod has the same look to it year in and year out same online but it get a 9.5 out of 10 every time.. And the story is only like 5-6 hours if that and they complain about other game being too short..

  12. Bull shit this game is a lot of fun to play.. Ign only gives cod and bf and all the big name games good reviews… U know they are a lot of great games that are not big game titles.. Fuck ign

  13. I picked this game up on Xbox Live for $5, played it for an hour and shut it off. I felt everything the reviewer felt. Gorgeous game but it's incredibly boring.

  14. It's not based off biblical scripture. It's based off the book of Enoch, which isn't biblical canon though there is at least one reference to the book of Enoch in the bible. However I loved this game and I think I may replay it after I finish Tales of Xillia.
