Lost Oddysey: Slow start...

I have played an incredible 52 minutes of Lost Oddysey on the Xbox 360 and all I have managed to achieve so far is a handful of battles, standing in on some high powered council meeting and picked up a few items around the level terrain.

Please tell me this game gets better. It looks good but so far the game is painfully slow and the dialogue is pretty poor. The stereotypical RPG non-playables are pretty torrid too, how many ''there was a big explosion. No one could have survived that'' can I take?!?!

It will go away from that soon. Have you encountered the first dream yet?

yeah it will soon get way more indepth. the slow start adds to the story, it makes it seem more obscure. towards the end you should start to enjoy it.

The storyline doesn't take off until the 3rd disc...but when it did, it was epic.Soulreavercross

Thats why I never finished the 1st disc. Bored me to tears. Now it's collecting dust in my pile of games.NintendoGamer3

I really wanted to like this game, but the combat mechanics were so ancient and I really wasn't in the mood to grind stupid looking monsters for XP. Kaim was awesome and I really wanted to know what happended, but the game was just too boring.

Well I did, and that doesn't change the fact that the combat was boring. Like I said, I really liked the story, but the gameplay sucked.

[QUOTE="craigalan23"] I never needed to grind when I played the game except for one boss.craigalan23

Those two electic worms or whatever those were was the part I stopped. I could kill the first one, but the second one killed me, and I just quit playing. Traded it in to get Batman.

I don't mind turn based combat as long as it is either a). has flashy attacks or b). is stratiegic. Lost Odesssy didn't seem like either to me.

It gets better (until you meet the two plagues of crap known as Cooke and Mack), but to me it was a tad boring overall. I thought it was a good game, but there was just something about it that almost put me to sleep a few times. It's worth sticking with it and beating the game, but I doubt you'll ever go through another playthrough. I know I havent.

The first disc of Lost Odyssey, I felt, was somewhat slow moving, especially when compared to everything that occurs after the end of disc 1. Everything that follows seemed to be constantly moving, due in part to the story-telling. I still think Losy Odyssey has some of the best writing and story-telling in any games that I have seen in a long time. It may have its moments of hokeyness but, otherwise, it had its fair share of action and emotion.

I totally agree with the sharpshooter
