Asura's Wrath

That can be said for alot of the stuff shown thus far 😛

Anyway, since it hasn't been shown here yet, here's the demo showcasing the full fight between Asura and his master Augus on the moon. Along with the same music as the trailer, Dvorak's 4th. Not sure if it's the actual background music in the game, but it kinda fits in an ironically quaint sort of way.

Note how the sword extends through the other side of the planet.

Cuts up the moon like its a piece of cake.

On another note of random trivia of the game's overpoweredness, according to the dev statement found here, the maximum length of Augus' sword is 380,000 kilometers/over 230,000 miles. If my estimate's correct, that's almost thirty times the diameter of the earth, and roughly the distnce from the earth to the moon according to the article.

Since I don't think it's been said yet, one detail given about the plot is in regards to the other playable character, Yasha.

According to this Capcom-unity article, Yasha was Asura's friend and brother-in-law (brother to Asura's wife, Durgus), and it seems he may or may not be aware of the full details and believes Asura was the one who killed her. Not to call the plot predictable, but I had guessed at least that Yasha would play a role pertaining to his moral compass. I'm sure it'll be all manly-tears and all that.

I'm also starting to guess that the girl in the trailers is either Mithra or a girl that just looks like her for reasons the story will disclose upon release. Just a hunch.

Well now that the demo is out, has anyone it played it yet?

The game is nothing but QTE and cutscenes to me. The usaul Cyberconnect formula to hide their crap gameplay under nice visuals.

Yep, the very limited gameplay is horrible.

So...anyone's played this since it's been out now?

Yeah, I have it. And that review is pretty much spot on.

You mean that Street Fighter thing was real?

I really wish that it wasn't just Ryu but the entire Street Fighter cast that was fighting Asura all at once. Now that's what I call insane.

This game is 75% cutscenes and Quicktime events with 25% ACTUAL gameplay.

I feel cheated having bought this game.

That depends on what you call actual gameplay considering there are a least three or so different gameplay styles that the game may not commit itself to at any one time, but the only real way one should feel cheated in buying it at its price is just cuz of how short the game is. All in all, I agree with most of the critics and general consensus that it does its job well, but what it does ain't for everyone. I won't be slobbering in wait for

the obvious sequel

If nothing else, the soundtrack is extremely badass, especially Yasha's theme.

Capcom:

Maybe this idiocy will take some heat off Bioware. Or just magnify it.

The game is very cool, I admit, but it just seems so automated with so many cut scenes and QT events.

I'm going to attempt to finish the game on very hard difficulty.

This DLC should have already been included in the game. That Joe guy is right; This is a big middle finger to everyone who supported Capcom and bought this game.

I finished the "True episode 18" ending, and was left feeling a tad unsatisfied. Well, I guess now we all know why the game ended like that.

Just beat the DLC... And holy shit!

The last level was completely over the top!

BTW, this game seems to be set in the
