Omega Force making an AoT game... Whaaaat?

[SporkofDeath]

No, I wasn't surprised to see it on steam. I already knew it was coming out. I just don't understand what insane mind thought the developers of Dynasty Warriors (A game about invincible gods among men slaughtering hordes of enemy soldiers) should be making an Attack on Titan game. Hell, I don't even like Attack on Titan but I can tell that a Dyanty Warriors style open battle game where you're zipping around killing multiple enemies is pretty much the exact opposite of themitcally appropriate. The whole premise of the show is basically "The world is terrible and all the supporting characters and extras exist to die horribly in ridiculously drawn out battles with awesome action scenes at least when something actually gets around to happening once per episode."

I mean... does this game miss the point as badly as it seems to from the footage? Or (this being a tecmo koei port and all) can anyone even get it to run long enough to find out?

Don't get me wrong. I love Dynasty Warriors. AoT is basically the opposite of that though.

Let me just say this and i'll be on my way...
If they made the game more like the show, do you really think people would enjoy it as much? "Welcome to Attack On Titan, Game Over", no... people play for the action, so let them have it. Theres lots of games based on anime, movies, etc, that are altered in different ways so people can enjoy them in a more game-related enviorment, thus why Omega Force was a good choice, allowing us as the player to go out and kick some titan ass!

I get what OP's saying, though. I'm up to date with the manga and while it's true that the main characters by now are more able to kill smaller titans without getting murdered by them, taking down a titan is still a struggle. Killing thousands of them on one single map isn't exactly how I'd imagine a Shingeki game.

Eh... in a big map you might kill like... 40? And all during that time you're getting images pop up with characters just saying "DEATH" so it's not exactly Dynasty Warriors.

Actually the game does an amazing job recreating the feel of the show. It doesn't feel like a Musou game. It really does feel like an Attack on Titan game.

Not to mention the dead soldiers that fall out of Titans when you kill them.

So I guess it's not that off message after all.

Heh, that's one thing that bothered me about the show actually. Titans don't really have any sort of digestive system so the bodies just sit int here and then get vomitted up eventually. Right at the beginning of the show Eren gets swallowed whole (or at least the titan tried to swallow him whole, he just reached out and got his arm bitten off). Hell, there's even a mangled woman still barely alive inside the titan's belly crying for her mother when he's in there. So obviously Titans don't always mangle their victims. A lot of them are large enough that there's absolutely no need for them to do so. All that being the case, it seems like rescuing people from inside a dead titan would be at least an idea people came up with.. at least for the survey corp who are actually skilled enough to be able to take them down with some consistency.
