I got suckered by the demo... the game itself got very tedious very fast. At the end I was skipping cutscenes like a motherfucker. The kaiju fights were badass, I have to admit, and some elements are truly masterful. Otherwise it's just a numbingly overwhelming mashup of every european myth/belief system with a very japanese gameplay. Over the top, but it's just too much.

Man, I'm getting too old for these endless open world games... on top of that there's just too much visual, auditive and textual clutter, too many details, not enough direction. Gameplay feels tedious as hell - get in your ship, open the starmap blablabla; put on your helmet, because god forbid there's an auto function for that; etc. Story is kind of recycled as well. Music and design is pretty, though. But this is reeeally far from GOTY. Oh and those botoxed motion captures... they worked in Skyrim, but the resolution and the detail is just too high now for it to not be uncanny valley. (It's still better on launch day than Cyberpunk was.) Story has some highs, but more lows. Sidequests are more fun, but man I'm tired of the constant docking, landing loadingscreens. It's boring, that's what it is!
