Im really loving this game. Doing my best to not even continue the main story since I dont want it to end. Clan Creator is dope, the baseball stuff too. Loving all the side content and the references to 0. Only downside really is that I didnt play 2-5 so some stuff is getting spoiled or going over my head.
Combat at first I wasnt feeling the change from 0, but it seems like the game really wanted you to feel weak early on, cause after upgrading a lot the combat is way smoother and you got a ton of control over battles. The parry mechanic is really implemented well and takes away from the tedium of boss fights that used to just cheese you in previous games. Makes fights move quicker. IE in 0 and Kiwami most boss fights you used rush since it was the only one that could dodge efficiently and most bosses only allowed you to tag them quickly then they would go into an armor/invul move that would have to quick step. So with rush a lot of bosses would take a long time to complete since you arent getting a lot of hits in and they dont do that much damage. Or you would cheese them with beast if there was a lot of weapons around. I like how it is now, though I havent gotten too far in the main story to tell how the boss fights will go down later on.
I did notice in the menus that theres less side stories than in 0 but I think thats balanced out since there are a lot of large side quests like clan creator and baseball.
I dont even wanna play it no more..
