Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN

[DarkMaster]

Well I've played about 2 hours of the game so far... and I'm not quite feeling it. It just seems, sort of, lifeless... Areas I've explored so far are really kind of dull, not interesting in the least. Story is half interesting, half boring so far, and combat is really bland right now.

I dunno, I'm just not feeling it. With all previous Suikoden games I was hooked from the start, this one just seems odd, so far... I mean, it could very will pick up and become more interesting soon, hopefully.

Ugh, and the sea travel on the ship... it takes nearly 12 minutes to travel between two VERY close together islands because there's a random battle every 5 freakin seconds. I find myself retreating 9/10 battles I encounter because A) it would take forever to get somewhere by fighting every battle, and B) its the same god damn wild sea weed monster crap over and over again, which is incredibly boring.

I see potential in the game, but I really not impressed with it right now...
