I've been using a fair few player pawns (and many have hired mine) and it really does make a difference to pick up those that have invested in skills and equipment - far too many are just 'as they come'.

Just got my copy. Loving the opening song. Japanese rock!
Original Japanese version from 1998!

local supermarket not stocking this it seems.
Its far from perfect, as you say, its glitchy, but the texture detail is iffy too.
So far its not as fun as Skyrim or Dark Souls but its still very early on. The potential is there for an epic game though. Time will tell if it reaches that level.

Although i loved Skyrim, it was a bit empty character wise, and i found the main plot totally forgettable and cheesy.
This game however tries to be a bit different, ie the pawns etc, and i quite like the constant chatter from my companions.
What i do find very refreshing though is how the pawns act, thats how a game should be to me especially and RPG,constantly surprising you, engaging and often amusing, it even makes me forgive that the game is lacking in the polish department.

The combat is a hell of a lot better that's for sure, but then this is Capcom we are talking about.
Kingdoms of Amalur tries to meld hack'n slash action with RPG as well, but personally I find it to be quite basic.
The pawns are surprisingly very competent in this game. Sure there are a couple of dumb AI moments, but for the most part, they can be truly helpful and if they are equipped and set up properly, they can be very devastating.

What is with this bloody clicking when running?!
well well well this aint half bad ehh!
Done up to the bit when you get your pawn. Made mine a strider. Only thing is i dont like her voice and she is little chubby now i see her with clothes on
Can i change her?
Pretty easy so far - no worries. Main char is fighter (to mystic knight) pawn = strider and rook for magic. But im gonna see if i can grab another mage instead of mook he's a bit bland. And maybe another fighter.
Was gonna make my pawn a fighter but nah kinda boring managing 2 character sets with very same moves and stuff.
Graphics in this game EDITED are just unreal awesome...sure the textures arent the best but the lighting and the way the wind affects everything. There is quite a bit of pop-in unfortunately.
*However* the foliage and way it feels lived in is better than something like Dark Souls for instance . The lighting is very good very atmospheric. When its dark its DARK and its nice seeing the sun come up...will try and get a pic next time.
Nice that different objects and creatures are about for Day and Night really makes a difference. And yeah they do reward exploring, think i got about 3k gold from a ship at the beach behind some rocks.
Combat is very very good...see Bethesda this is how you do combat. Not sure whether this game is a Dark Souls beater yet but it is quite addictive.
Ohh and flippin heck if you like scavenging then this is your dream game...soo much stuff that you can scavenge and you never know whether it might be useful with something else (e.g. enhance weapon).
I'll get pics up of my main and pawn ASAP

just killed a Hydra uhmm very easily hrmm. One thing which is just brilliant is your custom made characters appearing in the cutscenes with all their custom gear on etc. Very nice touch that
edit psn = oldHTK pawn name is Ta'Keela
Hrmm ive noticed a few pawns with what seems to be high level kinda gear but they are only about 8th level. Its the armour of Mercedes the warrior who puts you on the first quest to Gran Soren?
Hrmmm ?

DLC - Captain's armour, comes with the hairstyle pack I think.
Fought my first couple of ogres last night, they go berserk if you have a female companion. Died several times and had to resort to punting a companion off the side of a walkway, at which point the ogre leapt to it's death following her!
It looks kinda stupid and outta place on wizards/sorceres though (which ive seen)
Just seems generic bling.
I like pawns where it looks like the owner has put together a bunch of armours (not necessarily the best armours) so that it all fits.
haha thats brilliant! guess its time to invest in that steel chastity belt for my pawn then.
One problem ive had is that my pawns dont heal themselves... so i thought it was a bug or glitch
BUT NO apparently you have to teach them to heal themselves (they basically need to observe you doing it quite a few times before they get the idea)
Immense!
