who ever thinks HS sucked graphically is simply an xbot or in another word a fan boy...

Let's look at it this way:

I, or any gamer on the planet as a matter of fact, can button smash ANY fighting games (be it Tekken, DOA4, or whatever) from the begining to finish at the default difficulty, granted, we might lose a few matches here and there, but nothing will stop us finishing ANY fighting games without ever knowing how the combo systems work in those games.

But guess what? It's not those fighting games' fault that we play this way and say, the (tekken, doa, or whatever) game sucks, because all you need to do is button smash.

Heavenly Sword is built with an of 1 vs 1 fighting engine, that's why it has so many combos. But if you want to smash through it, you can with a few continues. But guess what, it's your fault if you chose to play that way.

Try other games like Ninja Gaiden, I played that game until level 9, finished each level with Head Ninja ranking, yet I didn't care to learn any combo until level 8.

What about Devil may cry, or god of war... any of the these games can't be played with button smashing? Of course they can!

i don't hate HS, i just know its not a great game.

i don't hate GOW, i just know its a little overrated in terms of its combat

GOW and HS are similar, great story, presentation, characters, music, etc but the combat for both suck. But the funny thing is, HS get the heat for it while GOW doesn't. k maybe i was being a little blunt about GOW its combat is average and doesn't deserve the praise it gets. HSs combat just blows...

You cant say HS combat blows and not say the same about GOW. IMO I like both of the combat system since they are pretty much the same.

The game is not meant to be played by mashing on buttons. There are three different stances to learn and dozens of combos for each stance. Pushing wildly on the buttons will not yield the best of results, but if that's how you want to play this incredible game, so be it.

Problem is, you can get through the game on the default difficulty by simply mashing buttons. Sure, your not supposed to play it that way, but its very possible. Now don't hand me a "well, thats what harder difficulties are for!"

This can be said for alot of games of this type such as GOW. That doesint mean its not fun.

[QUOTE="j_sound"]i acually agree with him, i just rented this game and im so glad it was just a rent, the graphics suck to me, its so easy, boring, and the stupid bow and arrow missions really suck. i mean its fun to see her do those sick moves, but all i did was mash the buttons the whole time as well, i mean, how are you supposed to kill all those guys planning each attack, like this guy im gunna hold R2 and kill him with []-[]-O then the next guy a long range attack L2-O-[]-O. this is a good rent, but nothing more IMHO, i found no replay value.j_sound

Graphics suck... You're joking right... Are you sure you were playing Heavenly Sword and not just looking at a box of Fruit Loops or something...

Whatever you say my friend. I'll just pass off your comments by assuming your 12 years old or so and aren't well versed in being able to distinguish low polygon character models from high ones.
