No it wasn't a mechanics issue. It wasn't that I thought the concept sucked either as I loved the concept. It wasn't really even that the martial arts controls lacked any defensive moves either. Hell it wasn't even the dated graphics, poor voice acting, save points, third person view allowing you to look around corners, cover system that made it overly easy, bosses that had moments of being impervious to damage or that it froze up a couple times. The lack of any functional patch coming, the game freezing, poor hand to hand combat system and some graphics issues I figured it was best to return it while I could. I could of played on in hopes that I could ignore the problems but I learned my lesson with Borderlands that if a patch isn't released immediately then the odds are poor that one will eventually come out that actually does anything.

I bought a copy of this game on the PS3 and got my money back from Gamestop three days. The manager didn't even argue the fact that the game was broken without a patch. Just gave me my money back. I took Fallout New Vegas off of pre-order after playing this game. I remembered how glitched the last version was upon release and I simply saw it as too big of a risk given the games history and Obsidians job with AP. I seriously hope they come out with a patch for you guys soon. Good luck!

Well, I actually bought the game Saturday. At one point I had it on pre-order but after reading some bad reviews I removed it from pre-order. I picked a copy up used at Gamestop and I'm not regretting it. Great concept, the controls are simple and intuitive enough and being able to have some control of how the story progression works is something I could get used to. Sure it needs a patch but in the meantime I will continue playing it. I can always start over once the patch comes out.

After the great reviews Uncharted 2 got, MW2, BC2 and others only to see the final product lacking so much I don't give a damn what previews from some sites say. I think of them like the Today Show giving great reviews to crap movies only to overlook great movies simply because they aren't getting something out of it. Skate 3 was supposed to be great and the demo I played encouraged me to take it off pre-order as it was crap!

I had it on pre-order before it was delayed. I have it on pre-order yet again so hopefully this time it is released as scheduled. Oh, I pre-ordered it from gamestop.
