I tolerated the first game's mangling of Tolkien's world because the systems seemed interesting enough, but this is just too much. It looks so gratuitously stupid. And a Diablo-style loot system is enough to keep me away forever.
I feel like I'd be more interested if this was anything but The Legend of Zelda. The world and art of LoZ has never grabbed me. And the desperate attempts to be like Ghibli aren't doing it for me either.
I like all the little details and interactions, but the overall experience just doesn't look compelling enough to me.
I'm a massive fan of the Souls games and Dragon's Dogma, but Berserk has always been trash to me. I'm glad those games never replicated the gratuitous rape and toxic masculinity of Berserk.
Also, if it ain't got Zhangs or Xiahous, Ishidas or Tachibanas, it ain't no Warriors game o' mine.
