I wonder if they're contractually obligated to have every Destiny and Dynasty Warriors QL be the exact same fever dream commentary as the one before it.
@hatking: Your imagery was a bit much but I think you're entirely justified to rib on Dan, who tends to seriously overreact to new releases in a way I just can't get onboard with.
I'm so ambivalent about this game because I love it and can't believe it exists in 2017, but it's hard to recommend. Between the heavy dose of anime tropes, gacha system, lackluster UI straight out of a PS2 game (also missing basic things like a bestiary), and important mechanics locked behind 20+ hours, I can't blame anyone for losing interest.
All I can say is if you're only hung up on the combat, it becomes much more fast-paced than just patiently waiting for auto-attacks. You start slinging skills and weapon switches so fast it becomes a juggling act to manage buffs and debuffs for max damage, and some skills come with additional effects like active evasion which allow you to dodge lethal attacks.
For me though, things like everyone shouting over each other the name of their attacks and the overall Saturday morning cartoon nature of the humor and story are actually part of why I can enjoy XC2 despite its glaring flaws. Also, the JP battle announcer sounds like something out of a fighting game like CvS2, it's so good.
