| This game is fun for me, great storyline, though the characters are a bit ugly. Reminds me of DAOC for some reason. Even years ago on MGS2 they could make the models more lifelike...
However, the gameplay is decent. I think the tactics menu is useless... they never do the things you want, at the target u want, or at the time you want. I just leave it blank and do it all myself with pausing. Once you get the hang of it, it gets real easy. Most fights are actually pushovers(I play on normal) especially with all the AOE your mages have, and some game breaking combos.
Theres a lot of bugs in the game, and obviously it was rushed. When you run, sometimes you get stuck and run in place, and just completely stop. You have to re-issue the command.
The inventory system could have been done better, it's confusing, and hard to organize. They also could have made the looting a little more thought out.
Although the battles are challenging, I feel like it lacks depth. Most of the time, it's just "gather the monsters, stun them all, aoe nuke them to hell" or "rush the main boss to end the fight" type of thing. There's a lot of moves that simply become obsolete because you will want to use your more powerful moves, and by the time you finished your rotation of good moves, the first ones have cooled down already.

| | Well keep in mind this was with AA and AF all turned up and at 1920x1080, but yes the visuals are much much nicer. If they shave the performance hit by just a bit more then tesselation is a godly feature. =) Flag this | Edit this post |

| There is definitely a sizeable performance hit with tesselation on. The fps drop varies from scene to scene, depending on how many tesslated objects there were on the screen, but in general 10-15 fps drop right when you flip tes on, and heavily tes'd scene 20+ fps drop. Avg fps 60ish without, 30-40 with.
