TGS trailer

I am speechless, there is nothing more I can add to this game about how I feel about, I am not even sure the word "epic" isnt enough.

Story, cutscenes, art design, music, voice acting...everything is just perfected for my taste when it comes to fantasy world.

i'm still not sold on it, the combat looks like it could end up a button masher and get boring fast, will wait for the reviews.

How the combat will have upto 40 combos, there is no way it will be a button masher?, i think this game will be a big critical hit.

Any title is a button masher no matter how you look at it.
DMC, Bayonetta, NG, GoW...etc. all of them are button mashers, but it depends how much various moves it has.

I disagree if you try to button mash through most of those games you just mentioned you wont get very far at all, numerous combo's are needed to beat different types of enemies you cant just button mash through them.

You do.
Try and play Easy or Very Eay Auto on Bayonetta and see how well that works.

However...what I was talking about wasent about making it or not by button mashing, I was just saying these games are button mashing games no matter what, but how you manipulate it to your advantage to play smart by learning the moves and master them you can keep doing neat moves alot, that way it wont be "boring fast" and you do various combos.

Some arent into this so they dont tend to care for it so they just do what they can easily remember and go with it, while fans as me I try to keep finding new ones as much as I can, that way the moves stays fresh and more enjoyable.

If you play any game on easy, your not really playing it are you, so that does not count, also BlackHawk was clearly implying this was going to be nothing but a button masher IE: no skill or combos needed just button mash to complete, which is far from the case.

Yes you are, well unless its games like Bayonetta and DMC were automatic mode is on.

As long as you are doing all the moves manually one move after the other, you are still playing it.

Like I said before, any title within this genre is a button masher if you look at it that way, you press the attack buttons rapidly dont you?
Also, combos are made if you do more than 2 hits.

I disagree i'll leave it at that.

Got to agree with Blackhawk, but what has pulled me in is the story aspect, i'll wait for the reviews also, but my gut feeling is i'll be picking this game up.

Any action game can be a button masher if you want to play it like that.

Hell Bayonetta has a dif setting that let you mash all you want and still pull some insane combos,the game is doing them for you but you are still playing.

Of course you will not get very far above normal difficulty.

I think it's fair to say that people won't be picking this up on the grounds of its combat. This game offers something that GoW, Bayonetta, DMC and the like can't: a compelling, believable story, presented in such a beautiful way.

And good art design and great voice acting...and from my personal opinion, one of the best musical score I heard.

The voice acting is arguably the greatest I've seen in a video game; the talent involved borders on the ridiculous. And yes, the art design and soundtrack are also top notch. My point is that this offers a much more complete package, something which is rarely seen in the genre.

That is exactly what I have been saying all along.

As a whole package it is offering alot, enough to let the simple combat slide and be acceptable just to enjoy this title.

Obviously going by the TGS trailer released a few days ago, the cinematics seems to be amazing as well.

I do wonder how the unlockables, bonus content, replayvalue is gonna be like.

Some costumes and game+ would be nice!

Thats pretty much what I am asking for.

But I think I remember Cox said there wont be any new game+ ...and costumes, you never know. I would be guessing fanservice costumes would be nice, having some designs from the 2D versions.
