If small aesthetic issues are all that's bothering you I'd say find a way to try it out, (legally of course) you may be pleasantly surprised to find that you hardly notice those little niggling things. Besides, the problems you described (and from what I saw in the video) aren't any worse than what you'd find in, for example, Skyrim. Personally I think you'd really be missing out if you passed up the game purely on visual grounds.StriderShinryu said:I... dunno. I think everything about the game sounds great, but when I see actual gameplay it just looks bad. Just overly stiff and very dated. The animations look unnatural, especially when the AI has to interact with the environment (like that NPC walking down the stairs near the end of the video review), and weapon/item usage (especially running around with your hand(s) in front of your "face" just feels like something that belongs in a game from 5+ years ago, not something we should still be seeing today. It may sound like I'm bagging on the game from a purely aesthetic point of view but I think thats something of a testament to how well designed the rest of the game seems to be. Everything else about the game is working overtime to pull me in, but when I see the game I can't help but feel pushed away.
Well, PC gamer gave it a very positive review, noting how impressive the PC version was, what with a variety of nice graphical options, and from what I have skimmed, never once mentioned poor controls. That all sounds pretty positive to me.nikki191 said:While im definitely interested as its the sort of game i normally love ill hold off until i hear about how the controls and ui is for the pc version. ive been bit too many times by the bad console port plague ridden rat to risk that amount of money on a preorder
