I liked it too! by Lurker 410942 06/19/2014, 8:53pm PDT I did my first game on hard, but even then there weren't TOO many boss fights that were ridiculous. There's some optional bosses towards the end that take INSANELY LOW amounts of damage at first, but there's a hidden item that lets you hit them about 5x harder (at the expense of HP per hit). I feel like maybe I should have done more grinding before each boss to maximize my ranking since the S and A prizes are HUGE, but I managed just fine without them. I think they may have tightened up the controls in a patch since your character just sticks to ledges like a magnet now. I'm also using a controller so I'm sure that helps things. I'm not too wild about the grindy item collection, but I'm really happy that they reined in the RPG elements by limiting all your equipment to just 3 levels and capping your character at 20. I never felt like a single upgrade completely pushed me over the edge or prevented me from advancing. It was a bit annoying to have to unlock parry (unless you go barehanded), but other than that all the skills and stats worked great. They even make it so your "alignment" is just based on your equipment and spells and gives different bonuses based on what stats you put up (being dark aligned will make your strength stat give life leech and your agility give move speed, for example), so you're never tied into choosing just one. Fuck you Bioware!

I'm very impressed with Valdis Story! by Mischief Maker 05/14/2014, 7:48pm PDT     Does it have crazy random loot numbers? by Lurker 340924 05/14/2014, 10:06pm PDT         Why don't I actually write a review? by Mischief Maker 05/18/2014, 2:37pm PDT             You're scaring the shit out of me by Roop 05/18/2014, 10:51pm PDT                 I meant it as a bullet-point list but forgot the bullets.
