Customer Reviews of Wild Arms 5

Really frustrating!
I am extremely angry at the developers of this game because Wild Arms 5 had the potential to be a terrific game.But it fails.... quite terribly. <
> <
>One reason being that Dean (the hero) is weaker compared to his redheaded girlfriend Rebecca.She wields a pistol and can attack monsters from a distance and can kill them in one hit. <
> <
>Meanwhile 'ol Dean attacks with a stupid shovel and does a little bit of damage--that is if his hits even connect.Many times,you get the dreaded MISS message. <
> <
>Storyline wise;this makes sense,because Dean doesn't have an Arm yet.So okay,I guess I can deal with it for awhile.But here's the thing;at the end of the first dungeon (after getting your third party member,Avril) you finaly get your Arm!YESSS!!Now things are going to get better!! Right??? <
> <
>Nope.Your Arm is just a set of dual sabers,yet you are still given the bullet limit display.Every time you attack(swing your sword) one bullet is taken away.So even though you are fighting melee,you are still required to reload.... <
> <
>I have no idea who thought this was a good idea,but they should be fired. <
> <
>ALL OF THE WILD ARMS featured the main hero using a gun;A GUN! You know; BANG! BANG! What the f*** is this??? <
> <
>It's also cruel when Deany boy can fire his guns in the dungeons to solve puzzles,but cannot during battle. Rrrrr... someone SO needs to be knocked in the head for such a stupid concept! <
> <
>Before you set out on your quest,you are given Tony's Gift.But you can't examine it or use it,as it's always greyed out.So don't count on getting any info from that.Which leads me to another problem;the game never really EXPLAINS how to do anything! <
> <
>It has little blurbs here and there,but there is no help menu that you can acess if you are stuck.And forget about an icon explaination for the map.Unless you have an idea of where to go,you are basically just going to run around until you find the right track. <
> <
>Also,Avril has a sword that can retract into a whip.How do you do that?I don't know.I don't even know if you CAN do it!Again,the game offers no insight to it's players.It just assumes that they either have a guide or the ability to read the minds of the game's creators. <
> <
>There is also a glitch in the game that got passed testing,that players should be aware of.Whenever you are asked to select a memory card file,or the save or hint option from the save parrot,YOUR ANALOG STICKS WILL NOT WORK!You have to use the cross pad to select a coice.I was really irritated at first because I thought something was wrong with my controllers or PS2.No... just another crappy aspect to a half-crap game. <
> <
>Well,there is some good.The hex battle system returns,which was great in Wild Arms 4. <
> <
>A cool,new feature was added to the dungeons called a Sol Nger.It is like a save point,only purple.It contains a monster that is stronger than the other ones (still not very hard at all) and if you can defeat it,you purify the area.This gives you the option to change the random battle encounter to ON or OFF.This is great when you are looking for a way out, or you are trying to solve a puzzle.It also eliminates the annoying migrant pieces/concept found in 3 and the remake of 1. <
> <
>Also the graphics are nice and the voice acting is decent.Although all the whistling REALLY gets old after awhile. <
> <
>I really want to like this game,but I just don't like some of the battle mechanics or the lack of help. <
> <
>A simple note to game designers out there.Think back to the glory days of the original Wild Arms and Wild Arms 2.Their genius was in their simplicity! <
> <
>They were easy to get the hang of;and that was what made them fun.A player could just concentrate on gaming,rather than the mechanics of it!You didn't have to learn a thousand new things just to play a video game!Why is that SO HARD to accomplish nowadays? <
> <
>I'm going to give this game a few more hours,and if Dean the Dumb doesn't learn to fire his gun,this sucker is geting traded in.I don't care if it's only worth a couple of bucks;I'm getting fed up with this garbage. <
> <
>Traditional turn based,old school RPGs... THOSE were the days.Granted, there are some wonderful NEW RPGs out there with a catchy style,but Wild Arms 5 is just not one of them. <
> <
>Anybody want to play Dragon Warrior 4?? Anybody???
