Monsters can hit you without being close to you.
 
That's all that needs to be said. It completely negates THE ENTIRE REASON WHY YOU LET PEOPLE MOVE AROUND IN 3D SPACE. I've been an unabashed nuthugger of Level 5 games since Dark Cloud 2, and they come out with THIS? Amazing. Anyone who tries to rationalize or explain why this is a good move is fooling themselves. It flies in the face of the very laws of nature.
 
Thank you GameRang, for allowing me to play this for just long enough to witness the ridiculousness. I feel terrible for people who paid $60 plus tax.

There is a bug in forums where you sometimes can't create threads and link them to games.

Could you maybe show us a video of this somewhere? I've heard a lot of complaints about this issue and I still don't understand really how this is possible. Would any old combat or gameplay video show it?

I'm having this problem too. What the fuck. Why aren't the mods moving these threads to their corresponding forums in the interim?
 
Kind of funny news to hear about the PS3 exclusive gimping..

@PercyChuggs: OK, I see what you mean, but is it similar to like what other games do where if you get close to the enemy, no matter how far you are away from them when they finish their attack you will still be hit? I can't remember what games do this, but I remember playing some JRPGs where this would happen: 
 
You are trying to run away from an enemy because you're low on health, and you would think that keeping moving would make the enemy not be able to hit you. Except, if he manages to get close to you for a split second and initiates an attack no matter how far away you are when the attack finishes, it still connects because he initiated it while you were close. It's kind of strange.
 
I wish I could remember the game I'm thinking of that I'm getting this example from.

Yes, they can. They added that feature a long time ago.

It took them more than a year to bring the game to America. They aren't going to then suddenly patch something as huge as the backbone of the entire combat system.

As a 360 fan, I grudgingly acknowledge the existence of Darkest of Days to even this out ;\

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the reviews White Knight Chronicles has been getting.  I certainly wasn't expecting 9.0s across the board or anything, but damn.  I'm glad that I didn't rush off to buy it day one.
 
Who'd have thought that Demon's Souls would widely be perceived as the better game?

Considering Dark Cloud 1 and 2 were so amazing, it's a shame Level 5 has since sunk into mediocrity.
