Its not even a f***ing game, its a series of QTEs on a bad anime plot with paperthin game mechanics to frame it on.

Ninja Gaiden 3 will somehow be better. Hell, Ninja Blade was better then this s***.

Sounds like the best candidate ever for a Gamefly rental.

How'd you get your hands on it, anyways?

No, I'd had low expectations going in, but this is baaaaaaaad. There's nothing here I would even call "gameplay". Its an interactive movie at best, and not a very good one. I pity the fool who pays full price for this.

I'm laughing as I "play" this thing. Everything(EVERYTHING) is a QTE, and when it isn't, it might as well be, its so shallow and brain dead. Holy s***

welp, dayum shame.

Was hoping those QTE spam was just a cinematic, not the actual game from the looks of it

If it's at least mildly entertaining in its ridiculousness, then it will be well worth the $2 or so I intend to pay for it.

(hooray for game rental)

Since Japanese PSN updates

It's hilarious how the QTEs aren't even like... cinematic actions. The QTEs are basically the game itself. You just keep doing QTE stuff over and over, you get RAAAAAGE meter, press R2, next section.

There are two chapters, five, and 11, and that's...that's the whole game, man.

Nothing surprising here! Asura's Wrath always looked like it was a QTE heavy game that was meant to be more about what's happening on screen than any kind of serious combat system.

I was saying from the beginning that it looked like the gameplay would put you to sleep. Never got the hype, really. If you want a stylistically ridiculous and yet engaging action game there are plenty out there.

Its not even a good movie, the fmv quality is HORRENDEOUS. Compression artifacts like a 360p YouTube video uploaded in 2007.

There are zero redeemable qualities about Asura's Wrath, Giant Space Buddha or not

Sounds just bad enough for me to love it.

As I sit here with my copies of Deadly Premonition and Orphen: Scion of Sorcery that I cherish so much.

I don't remember anyone really flipping out over it.
Also, just played the demo. Yeah this is pretty bad.

Had way the hell more fun with this demo than with FFXIII-2's, that's for sure!
Still not sure if I'll buy it at full price, but I definitely want it.

I agree it was probably the most awesome thing ever

but as a game? it's garbage! it should have just been a super awesome movie cuz that's exactly what it is even when you're "playing"

I can't believe the FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 DEMO was better

also I don't think the Heavy Rain comparisons are quite there

Heavy Rain = Quick Time Events: The Game
Asura's Wrath = Quick Time Events: The Movie
