Wow. I hadn't noticed the Japanese-style moves/animations in the demo.

It's an immersion breaker indeed; we give up all hope of having a half-decent fantasy to dive straight into nutty-land; or 5 YEAR OLD OMG AWLSUM!!!!!!!!!!-land. The game is already pushing it with all the impossible magic spells (i.e. rain of arrows), and now the party characters are also super-human. Great. What's next? Dragon Age 3: The Justice League v. Ferelden.

It'll be really odd to have these characters talking so serious, and a minute later go VROOOM, SWOOOSH, dashing and jumping all over the place, swinging their huge plastic swords at the speed of light. Insert Coin. Insert plausibility. Insert harmony between oh-so-serious storyline and ridiculously childish combat.

What an interesting turn of events. A short while ago I didn't put much faith in Shogun 2 and hoped for DA2; now I'm placing my bets on Shogun 2 and being disappointed by DA2.

This better be better than all of this. Steam doesn't serve refunds.
