Played the demo, quit part way and got the game.
Significantly better than I imagined this would be.
However I do have some gripes about the dialog. The "gauntlet lady" Schtick is unenjoyable. I think after forspoken the entire industry could go without talking accessories.
I dislike how she doesn't add anything to the game at all.
*enemy dies* "ok theyre dead"
*enemies appear* "they want to fight!"
*boss beating your ass* "dont give them an opening! Youre probably gonna die here!"
Beyond the main bad guy being her ex boyfriend (I haven't beat the game btw, I am a couple missions into the butterfly lady) she adds nothing. Horrible boring banter ive heard in every other game that has this type of npc. They all say the same lines. Destiny, onimusha, forspoken, god of war, every game that has this type of npc they all say the same dialog.
Thats my biggest gripe with this game and I hope if they continue the series, this is something they drop immediately.
