Tried to play the El Shaddai demo. The graphics are so fucking beautiful, it immediately reminded me of Okami, its one of the best looking games ever. It has some neat ideas, like stealing enemy weapons, but its so fucking cheap. The enemies all take forever to kill, and they constantly block your attacks, this wouldn't be so bad, if they weren't able to break your block so easily. The enemies also seem to be able to break out of your combos, something you can't do to them. It isn't even legitimate difficulty, its just poor game design. Im usually pretty good at action games, so I dont think its me. That said, Im going to try it again tomorrow, see if I like it more. Also, to look at it more.
