Thought I'd do barebones OT as I got this yesterday

Such a gorgeous game. I think I'm at the first boss. Need to get back into it this week and finish the Trek.

(endless crying noises)

Beat the game. It kind of won me over in the second half after I finally unlocked all the important attacks and figured out how to stun and fatality enemies.
I still think the combat system makes this game a wasted opportunity for something great. Shame as it has some excellent quality environments and camera work.
Only for die-hard fans of Kurosawa and medieval japan.

Think I'm going to just start it again on story mode and throw the combat out the window. It's poop.

Just to add, I love everything else about it but the combat just isn't that great. Strange animations and parry windows etc.
