Heaveny Sword demo-Lame

When I DL'd the Heavenly Sword demo and played it a few times, I thought it was lame. I understand it's "a work in progress", but, come on! Even Mario Bros had a jump button. To me, the fighting felt slow and awkward, (long pauses after combos)and the camera puts you really far away from the action. Think this is one game I'm gonna pass on when it comes out. Am I being to quick to rush to judgement?

Yes, you are being too quick to judge. The devs said that in the demo-level button-mashing could let you win, but it wouldn't help you at all in later levels. So what if there's no jump button? It's not like it's used in combat. There aren't as many platformer-like things in it, and when you do them it's not fun, but still the combat is good. You have to switch between all 3 to win, and can't rely on just 1. You have to block, and you have to counter. And the boss fights with snake lady, general flying fox, and roach look awesome! And playing as Kai looks like fun, controlling stuff with the sixaxis works pretty well. LastSamurai14

Well said.. Maybe i'm just old school, but I think that the addition of a jump button would spice up the action a bit and make things feel more fluid. I'll at least rent it and see how the final version plays.

The demo was very lame, the shortness didn't even make it a tease..it made it an failure. But i'll still be getting it because it seems like it has potential...IF..they can keep things mixed up without getting repetitive.

Yeah I want her to jump!! But you can't get anything you want :?

The demo was to short and the AI was to dumb down to much... Maybe if they put it on hard it or even normal! the action would be more intense.

I agree with you in that the DEMO could have been a lot better.

But I must admit I was still impressed by the demo. The graphics

are excellent and the gameplay held my attention.

I think this will be the first game that I really want to play as a female lead role.

Ms. Croft was sexy, but I couldn't stand the gameplay.

played the demo..in my personalopinion its mediocore . Yes, i have did some to arieal combos and all that mess..Best of luck to heavenly sword

From a gameplay pov a jump is generally used as a dodge ability or to expand your combat repetoire.hot114

Yeh, jump itself doesn't really aid you in any way other than adding to the freedom of the controls, though don't get me wrong, I love the whole jumping thing! jump in WoW is pretty much useless but it's still good to have it :D

I concur. Guess i'll have to wait for god of war III.

i want a block button more then a jump button and the camera was to far away to get the immersive feeling.

BUT still a buy from me :P

maybe if it wasnt a girl it could jump :|PMatt722

:D :D :D Congratulations for the quote of the day, you win a cookie! :D :D :D

IMO i think it was alright, but saddly i don't think it'll be AAA like everyones hyping it to be. there's just to much hype to this game that in the end it wont satisfy. Also IMO i don't think the combat will be the best like DMC or NG but i'm really looking forward to the story, characters and cutsence. To people who say this game is great because of the grahpics suck :PVendrena

I think the hype around the game is a little to high, AAA is out of question imo, but overall though who cares?? its going to be a good game I need something to play for my PS3 that isn't a sports game.

What are you talking about? DMC is just as repetitive. The only thing that really shakes it up to be honest is the guns. You really cant say dmc has better combat when its pretty much the same combat as in HS. Only dif is HS has counters and no jump.

P.S. I do like DMC

you're not that old school. Last I checked, that MGS series doesnt let you jump either. I think it turned out to be a hit series though....
