dtgreene: Watched the trailer, and here are my thoughts:
*: I don't like the music. (This comes first because I noticed it first.)
*: The trailer seems to focus a bit heavily on story, not gameplay. (There's a bit of gameplay near the end, but not much.)
*:
Male main character is a negative for me. *: Combat feels a bit slower than it should be. Common attacks of enemies take a bit too long. (I hope this is fixed in the final release.)
CharlesGrey: Woah, don't be a sexist, dude.
Two problems here:
1. I am not a dude, so don't call me one.
2. The problem with male main characters are that they are way too common, and they are not something I can really relate to. To me, the choice to make the main character male is likely sexist itself, especially since developers too often don't consider why they chose to make the main character male. (Essentially, it's a case of "male by default".
It's also worth noting that, for the type of game it looks to be, I would consider the first and last points I made (especially the last one) to be more important.
Azhdar: Well, maybe upcoming trailers and news would change your taste. I will update this thread.
Quite possibly. At the very least, it would help if combat would be reasonably fast. (Long animations are a problem that is way too common. I recently watched a video of Busin 0 (Japan-only sequel to Wizardry: Tales of the Forsaken Land, which I have not played, by the way), and noticed that each spell required 2 animations (the spell-casting animation and the spell-effect animation) both of which were too long.)
