It looks like a fun action game but I see no 'Role Playing' to call it a RPG.
A skill tree and swords/monsters are awesome fun and all but Baldur's Gate is an RPG. The Diablo series (and this really is a Diablo type game) are action games.

@eol_is The political way of not angering the "DA2 isn't a bad game, it just plays different than DAO" crew without saying the simple fact that it's a pile of greased stool.
dark souls is more akin to metroid than zelda.
prince of persia 2008, okami (and its sequel)... and i even managed to get baten kaitos brought up (even if Tom misread my name D: ). so many good games being brought up during the stream.
Great show Kevin & Tom!
I'm a huge fan of American McGee and the Alice series. Was happy to see some exposure to the gameplay and hearing McGee talk about the game was very informative. I'll definitely have my eye on this one
"there needs to be more card-themed weapons in games"
@Kevin-V - i assume you love baten kaitos? :P

@eol_is not really. i used to hunt down games that take 40+ hours. nowadays, i'd rather have a shorter, more condensed experience.
it all depends on the game, of course, but sometimes games can start to drag, and you get tired of it before you beat it. i've noticed that with a few games this year.

@BrunoBRS @eol_is One gets tired of the game before it ends because simply, the game isnt that good.
If its too long or too short is only a consequence of the quality and your taste, if the games is terrific, and you dont get bored of it, wouldnt you want it to last a long time?
Unfortunately most games this days just make themselves longer with mediocre fill-up content.
@BrunoBRS i know what you're saying, but these games are built to last. I, for one, split play time for such long games with breaks of shorter, more fast-paced ones. And so, a game like that lasts months on my hardware before i let it go.
Even now, i'm split between a few drawn-out games, going back and forth, slowly advancing the stories, and it feels good. It feels like these games were worth it. I'll remember them years from now because of the time i've spent playing them, unlike those 4-hours flythroughs.
Oh, so i understood it wrong. It's not that the game is long, but that specific parts of the game are prolonged more than they should.
I can see how some things can become annoying, affecting the overall feeling.

@eol_is i think that's what they were pointing out when they said people don't like games that are too long. there needed to be some trimming and editing (like the process a movie goes after production is over), and they didn't get the time to do it, so people complained that the game (more specific, individual levels) lasted too long.

Doesn't look too bad. I like the art style. Just concerned if the game will have any lasting appeal. So far, it looks pretty cool.
Looks like Okami and Diablo had a daughter. I loved both Alice games A LOT, but this doesn't look like I'll get it.
