    Sigh - "POP: Big fights in S&M torture dungeons to a metal soundtrack"

    It looks horrible. One of the things I liked about the first one was that it wasn't gruesome - I really think that this is a step away from what made PoP special.

  • Thamuhacha #3 8 years ago

    Yeah. I have moments of optimism regarding this. But I feel it has now become a game for people who will say "Whoa dude! I TOTALLY ripped his head off. Sweet!"

    Looks more like Devil May Cry than anything else.. Not really convinced but it'll probably help the game sell.

  • spindizzy #5 8 years ago

    And it'll probably have MTV/EA-style "swishy" menus ... grrr. I know it probably sounds petty but I *hate* those menus where everything shatters, glows, flies off in to my face, does the can-can etc every time I press the X button.

    I actually think I might stop playing BO3 for a bit because the over-the-top presentation is making me angry. Back to BO2 and blissful, blissful interface simplicity.

    Please devs - we're not all 3 year old children in need of flashy displays of pyrotechnics to keep us amused whilst deciding whether to load an old game or whatever. Just stop it.

    Yes, looks rather horrible. I really don't see the need to add gore to a game whose major draw should be challenging platform puzzles. I agree with spindizzy that the lack of gore in the first game made it something different.

    seems to me this game is all about people differing in opinion and not being able to solve their issues in a civilized manner

    Thankfully Edge say it's still clearly POP even WITH all the Gothy bow-lacks. And you can turn the blood off.

    The only thing that lets it down, apparently, is the Prince's *ahem* "witty" repartee...
