Talk:Mercedes Marten/@comment-68.148.186.87-20120602021048

So I've decided to be a little angry at Capcom for this game. Don't get me wrong, I love it, it's fun, and as soon as I finish writing this I'm going to go back to playing it. I'm still angry though, because the game had potential to be even better and it just wasn't used. Specifically I'm speaking of the characters and story of the game. All of the main cast is interesting with vibrant backstories, but you have to go on the website to know that. True, in-game they are wonderfully written and voice acted, but we only get brief windows of them, and then they disappear. For example, the character of Mercedes feels like it was meant for extensive character development, yet we never see it. In the end, she's just another damsel in distress, if she shows up at all. Then there's all the foreshadowing about the Duke's percieved insanity, which is such an interesting angle but it felt like almost nothing was done with it. That's the problem. Capcom had all the pieces right there for a perfect, as opposed to exceptional, action RPG but they didnt use them. Even the ending, which felt hollow, could have been amazing with a little more care. And really, that's all I had to say. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a giant undead dragon that desperately a hammer in the face. Specifically, mine.
