Alright story but combat is very repetitive.

I have not long finished playing the story mode. I found that whilst the overall story was good the actual game play just felt like it was lacking that special something. Sure after killing hundreds of creatures you can upgrade the specials you've had to buy, but that didn't feel enough like a choice given that with enough time you can buy all the specials and upgrade them all to their max anyway. Maybe i have just been spoiled by other games where there is more than one way to complete objectives, or there are different outcomes to the game depending upon what you do. Then again there is only so far you can take a game that then continues online after you finish the story mode. if you don't play online then you may feel you are missing out on the end of a story, after all when you but a game you expect to be able to see the story through to the end don't you or is that just something stupid i though up? Maybe this game would be a lot better of you didn't have to join the guardians at the start and could join the rogues for example. one more tiny thing that bugged me when playing through the game was the cut scenes, a lot of good stuff there but all of a sudden it would throw you back to an in-game scene where the speech bubbles are over peoples heads with no actual voice overs, to me that seemed like a really cheap thing to do. Fun if you want to play through the story mod but i definitely wouldn't pay to play the same thing online when you could jut chop monsters up just as easily in extra mode, which is also extremely tedious and pointless, you'll find it a lot more fulfilling to just play through story mode as a different class.
