    Boring gameplay on repetitive maps, boring soulless dialogues between missions. Even a pleasant drawing and the presence of a less than adequate plot do not greatly save from boredom.

    A few steps in the right direction.. But how can they keep the controller settings and inventory management so annoying?! 'Hardcode' one button for run/change melee and ranged?!
    And release that on PC?!
    The Good: It looks quite better than the earlier GE games The Bad: The maps and GFX overall isn't on par with 2019..or actually anything, even if it look quite OK The Good: You're    A few steps in the right direction.. But how can they keep the controller settings and inventory management so annoying?! 'Hardcode' one button for run/change melee and ranged?!
    And release that on PC?!

    The Good: It looks quite better than the earlier GE games

    The Bad: The maps and GFX overall isn't on par with 2019..or actually anything, even if it look quite OK

    The Good: You're entering a post-apocalyptic anime story, as a protagonist that could just as well be your grandchild, to slay monsters with oversized weaponry. again and again.

    The Bad: Your grandchild is so androgynous, that you don't know what to it is, and don't dare to ask, and you deleted the anime after the 3rd episode, since the story just were ..there, and you had some monsters to slay in style.

    The Good: It's a coop (mainly solo, but coop is more fun) hack 'n slack, insane learning curve due to the odd controls, but a lower one for the monsters patterns.

    The Bad: People compare it to MHW.. A game I never had seen or heard of it until GE2RB were released for PC, At the release of GE2RB for PC I scrolled past it.. and even put an ignore on it, since I'm to old for something that looks like that .. but I were wrong.

    The Good: It will get more added content for free at least until the summer.

    The Bad: The early spring update should've been included at launch, as that covers what people complain about.

    Overall a really fun game, and can be a blast in coop.. with friends.
    The assault missions with a random team, to even be able to get a few blueprints and 90% of the engage units are only available from there?!?

    it's e genre I've not played much. I'm no real fan of it. I like the anime-cliché settings and they almost make a big effort not making the story a big effort, just sufficient to drive the plot.. I mean Keep hunting.. and grinding and grinding.
    I didn't know I secretly liked grinding this much.    … Expand

    yo sinceramente no se que esperaba la gente del juego pero desde mi punto de vista y habiendo jugado los anteriores creo que es un juego al que hay que darle una oportunidad si te gusta el género y más si ya te has hartado de echarle horas y horas a monster hunter y buscas algo del estilo pero más frenético, he leído comentarios acerca de su apartado técnico, comentarios que no creo queyo sinceramente no se que esperaba la gente del juego pero desde mi punto de vista y habiendo jugado los anteriores creo que es un juego al que hay que darle una oportunidad si te gusta el género y más si ya te has hartado de echarle horas y horas a monster hunter y buscas algo del estilo pero más frenético, he leído comentarios acerca de su apartado técnico, comentarios que no creo que sean muy afortunados, ya pues pese a no ser el juego con mejores gráficos de la historia éstos cumplen y más con el estilo animesco de éste, y se nota el cambio desde los dos anteriores a éste y mucho, esperemos que en el siguiente cambien de motor gráfico y sigan avanzando en ese aspecto.

    en cuanto a la historia que se nos ofrece, creo que es el hunter game que mejor historia tiene, monster hunter world, con el que lo compara mucho la gente, tiene una historia que no le llega a éste ni a la suela de los zapatos, que si, que no es la mejor hostoria escrita jamás, pero es buena con unos giros argumentales muy bien llevados.

    el gameplay es frenético y con mucha más variedad de lo que se pinta en los análisis de la gente, y más cuando vamos avanzando desbloqueando nuevas habilidades con las distintas armas, el enfrentamiento contra los monstruos al inicio es un tanto fácil, pero a medida que vamos avanzando éstos empiezan a convertirse en un grano en el culo en muchas ocasiones, hasta el punto de que enfrentarme a un kirin hipercurtido de monster hunter a veces me ha parecido más sencillo que enfrentarme a algunos de los aragamis de las cenizas de éste juego.

    la banda sonora es uno de los puntos más fuertes de éste juego siendo una delicia que debería de destacarse en los análisis y que la compraría si decidieran ponerla a la venta por separado.

    si te ha llamado la atención y sobretodo te gustaron los anteriores te animo a que le des una oportunidad, es un muy buen juego que te va a dar una buena cantidad de horas de diversión, en el caso de no haber jugado los anteriores... bueno, están tirados de precio en steam (el God Eater 2 RE incluye el remake del primer God Eater) y son buenos juegos aunque se note que tienen ya unos pocos años y que fueron lanzados en un principio en PSP.    … Expand

    With God Eater 3 the franchise takes some steps in the right direction. While this game is not for everyone, for those who enjoy it there is a lot of content. The larger plot is not bad, the dialogues and story on the other hand is not that great.

    Bad:
    The lock on targeting break when there is more then 1 enemy.
    Some of the attacks will hit you even if your out of the way.
    The maps are repetitive.
    The personal story of the group your with is kind a meh.

    The battles are fast and never feel like they are taking to long.

    A good successor to the previous titles. Some nice quality of life improvements and new Arts with new effects.
    In fact the game keeps getting updated frequently adding character stories, new levels,arts,weapons and more.
    The story got kinda cut though which isn't as bad as many people would have you believe (you have around 80 ish story missions with a ton of extra) . It's also a bit    A good successor to the previous titles. Some nice quality of life improvements and new Arts with new effects.

    It's also a bit short on assist characters (AI partners that replace human players) but I think it was made to focus the story more on those characters.
    Gameplay wise, the game is faster than the previous titles, your devour charges faster, you can chain attacks faster, guns fire faster etc. The aragamis (monsters) also attack faster and have more evolved patterns which is a nice upgrade.
    The new 8-player game mode is also really fun and can be played alone or with friends.
    Character customization is great as always with some frequent updates to outfits and cosmetics.

    TL;DR: GE3 is a great game with a lot of improvements over previous titles but has a shorter story.    … Expand

    This is my first experience with the God Eater series.

    I recently played through Code Vein and loved it, so when I saw God Eater 3 on sale, I thought I would enjoy it the same. However, the while the games might look a bit similar on the surface, God Eater 3 is the lesser of the two in my opinion.

However, the while the games might look a bit similar on the surface, God Eater 3 is the lesser of the two in my opinion. It has good things going for it, like the variety of weapon types and appearance/clothing options.

    The bad though is quite apparent. Though these are just my personal qualms with the game, I don't like the fact that while it does have a story/narrative, the way it is structured makes the pacing of the game from the start feel clumsy. It puts the player through a series of tutorial mini quests that also try to narrate and give background information, but it was choppy and too much all at once. I would have preferred there to be a separate tutorial stage dedicated to acclimating the player to the games controls and systems before tying to tell the story. Also, because of this the beginning feels rushed and the opportunity to build the character's story felt like a lost opportunity to me.

    Another big gripe I have with the story and the writing is the lack of agency the player character has. Granted, in Code Vein, the player also doesn't have free reign to do whatever as they are guided by various characters and plot points, but, with God Eater 3, I found myself disengaged from the story because I was being dragged along by Hugo. At one point, the game prompts you with a choice regarding helping Hugo and his goal/vision, but all the choices result in you helping him no matter what. Where's the agency in that, why ask the player at all if you were just going to force us along anyways??

    I played without expectations and it was more fun than I expected.
    It is an action game that is easy to control.
    If I rate this game, 7.5 is appropriate, but
    The current rating is too low.
    I've been playing this game for 50 hours of fun.

    Геймплейно и графически эта часть самая продвинутая, но вот сюжет оказался слабее и значительно короче, чем в первых 2. Дополнительных героев почти не раскрыли, а сложность излишне снизили.

Es ist so viel flüssiger als GE2, sprich einfach zeitgemäß ;-P Der Burst wird von jedem verwendet, er macht hier Sinn haha und das Verbinden ist auch wirklich spitze, das Verschlingen geht viel schneller und es macht sogar richtigen dmg, im Grunde kann man sagen, dass alle Erneuerungen spitze sind! Zwei neue Waffen-Klasse sind dazu gekommen. Ich habe in der Beta auf der Playsi schon alle getestet gehabt und für mich war es ganz klar der Ring, ich spiele ihn seit über 200 Missionen :D Das Aufrüsten macht tsd mal mehr Spaß, die Materialien der jeweiligen Missionen können eingesehen werden und man findet sich sehr schnell zurecht. Auch die Begleiter sind spitze, ich habe nur eine Anmerkung, entweder sind wir zu blöd oder es ist immer noch nicht freigeschaltet (wir haben die Story und alle Quests, außer die vom Patch 1.20, durch) und können immer noch keine Outfits unserer Begleiter wechseln, ist das so? Wenn ja, WARUM?

    Zum Patch 1.20:
    Die Frisuren sind in Ordnung, die neue Kleidung ist nicht so dolle, einmal "Wackel-Bonus", einmal Lulus und noch irgendeine Kleidung, die Unterteile sind entweder sehr massiv oder mit komisch Bommeln, naja Geschmackssache. Durch die Zertifikats-Missionen können neue Accessories freigeschaltet werden (Gegner die auf deinem Kopf sitzen z.B.) das sind 30 Missionen die bis Stufe 10 zumindest sehr einfach sind (weiter sind wir noch nicht) evtl. enden sie bei 30 mit Stufe 7, keine Ahnung, evtl. bearbeite ich das Review, sobald ich es weiß. Dann gibt es aber noch Zertifikats-Missionen - Elite, das sind EIN UND DIESSELBEN 30 Missionen, die man aber nur alleine machen kann, WTF ??????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Man kann nicht mal Begleiter mitnehmen, wenn man es unbedingt schwer haben möchte, dann kann man die Standard - Zertifikats-Missionen doch einfach alleine machen ohne Begleiter auszuwählen, ich dachte mir, hmm alleine schon etwas blöd, aber dann kann ich zu Lulu und Claire noch zusätzlich Einer mitnehmen, das wäre ja noch ok gewesen aber zwangsweise ganz alleine? NEIN DANKE! Zu guter letzt gibt es noch eine, ja EINE -.- Spezialmission, in der man Süßigkeiten also Items vom Boden aufsammeln soll, für die Kinder, das sind krasse Items, die man in späteren Missionen wohl gut gebrauchen kann, jeder Charakter also NPC hat da sein eigenes Bon & Bon mit verschiedenen Effekten (hoffe das war auch so, zumindest hat jeder eine andere Beschreibung und Namen, Hugo hat z.B. Bon & Bon als Süßigkeit-Item und Einer Kakao & Marshmallow, lol) das merkwürdige ist, dass es nur eine Spezialmission gibt, da sah man so einen grünen Faden, wie bei den optionalen Missionen, da dachten wir, dass danach eine weitere Mission kommt, ne war nicht so. Hoffe, es hat euch gefallen/geholfen, bei Fehler bitte melden, ich korrigiere es dann, ist auf jeden Fall einen Kauf wert, ohne den Patch habt ihr ca. 40 Stunden Spielspaß, wenn ihr alle Story-Missionen, alle optionalen Missionen und die sechs Angriffsmissionen macht, das sind quasi die sechs Bosse des Games in einer Mission mit acht Spielern wofür man aber nur fünf Minuten Zeit hat (reicht aber), bzw bei uns mit sechs Bots, weil es wenige spielen und man wird nur mit Leuten, die in der selben Steam-Region sind gematchet >.>    … Expand

    I guess if the story and writing was sacrificed, it went to making a more concise and impactful gameplay with the addition of three new weapons into the series and the promise of additional content until Summer. This is a game that keeps in line with the previous entries. It’s like that younger sibling who’s managed to be more skillful and prettier than the elders, except for the rampant use of duct tape for clothes.

    I liked God Eater 3 more than I expected to. It may be a fairly shallow and repetitive experience, but downing a colossal foe and carving the bastards up as a crazy J-Rock song springs to life in the background is pretty damn cool, especially when experienced with likeminded friends online. While it might not satisfy genre aficionados looking for something new, Bandai Namco has mapped out some free updates for the future, and it’s an easy recommendation for anyone who liked the previous entries – not to mention a great starting point for anyone interested in checking out what the series is like.

    The fast, energetic and explosive combat is still here, combos, bursts, accelerations are there. But the story falls flat to include new players to the world, the camera and lock on systems are all over the place and the whole game feels to easy or to chaotic at times. If you have enjoyed the previous games in the series, like anime styled action games or have a liking to more fast paced and less intricate combat system this might be a good ride for a time or until something better comes around.
