We seek permission to devour you. We mean...to approach the bench.
Anyway going back to the game, I was a little surprised that it can be quite hard too. If you take out the Valkyrie, the game would be so frustrating. Although the Valkyrie sequence does get annoying at times.

The art design of the levels(3rd is absolutely fantastic!) and the character customization(visually) are the only aspects that are at least competently well-done. I honestly can't believe that the game was play-tested at any great lengths due to how sloppy some things are(the combat...) or how completely needlessly tedious other things are(trudging through cyberspace...why the hell do I have to always walk back to the well to exit but can head to Aesir anytime I want?).
What an amateurish attempt at game-making.

I had originally thought that the combat was pretty decent and that people complaining just didn't give it enough time, but after spending more time with it, it really just became more evident how horrible it really is.

Initially I thought this game would follow Norse mythology at the start, with Baldur dying in the end. I was so surprised when I realized that this takes place after Baldur's death and is essentially the start of Ragnarok. So far I'm liking the twists that have been presented in the game.

Also the ending... when Loki looks up and then it switches to his view of the Frost Giant! That is how you do a cliffhanger.

Lol! Thank you computer, I love you; you always have my best interests.
Oh, 135 is poop scrap.
Well isn't that 135k just for a weeks worth of sales? If it sells anywhere close to that next week it will already be in the 270k range and this is only for it's first week in the USA. If it's at all correct that is.

I just hired the game, started it up and played it for half an hour.. (my gf wanted to watch a movie)
Anyway what suprised me is that there is not any form of tutorial involved??? Did i miss something or? are those text boxes that pop up the only thing I'm gonna get?
Not the best start to a game ever...
I still have to figure out the melee combat...
Does anyone have recommendation for the camera mode? cause strategic mode is annoying the fuck out of me...
Will get back with more impressions later
"Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. "

The story seems pretty good and I like the cutscenes... The whole loot hunting is pretty addictive and seems well implemented. I wasn't particularly fond of the inverntory system, but after a while it grows on me..
Combat is horrible implemented though.. I know what i'm doing but the analog stick combo is not really a good thing in my opinion.. It almost feels broken... The gameplay seems also a bit shalow. Go there, kill that, get treasure, Go there, kill that, get treasure.. ETC...
If the combat would be better implemented (and deeper, more moves, more skills) it would be an awesome game.. Now because one of the major gameplay elements feels broken, the game is a shadow of what it could have been....
It's entertaining though, but I don't know how long that will be with these big flaws...

It would have been nice if, in addition to creating actual good unbroken combat, SK had went really in depth with the lore of the game ala Mass Effect instead of completely eschewing it in favour of what?... poorly written repetitive dialogue?
Gahh!!! It's really frustrating how hard this game fails at key things like gameplay and story.

And about the supossed 12 year development period.. I think they got a little bit blinded on their on product...

As for the story, it is actually pretty good but presented (perhaps wrongly) in a non-linear fashion and with some very strange choices of camera angle and dialogue at times.
