other than the occasional stutter when certain attacks are used, the game runs great, and it's as pretty-looking and fun as expected so far.
however, i don't know if it's just me, but the dialogue kind of rubs me the wrong way. the characters EMPHASIZE their WORDS very frequently and some of the phrasing is just jarring, especially compared to what i remember from the second game. does anyone else feel this way?
not sure if i'm a fan of the "display boss pattern" option either, but that's neither here nor there cause its wider effects probably won't be noticeable until the full game is out.
