1.
Boring combat. Its the typhical japanese combat that revolves around pushing the same buttons repeat. How the hell do you play trough so long with same mechanics without boring your fucking ass off?
2.
The overpowered dragon. I mean whats the point, there is like small enemies which are like Humans/dragon hunters whatever I dont know, The dragon can take out 100 of those with one flame breath strike thing which is stupid. There are also Giant mantids in the game which the dragon pretty much can take on himself. To top it all off, I dont think the Dragon can die if It would happen. You can 10 seconds to resurrect it again, before you die aswell. So, you're telling me that if you keep close to the dragon all the time, you'll win the game no matter what difficulty?

The protaginst is so annyoing. Aside from being Eyecandy, there is not appealing. Its just the Energetic hotheaded asshole that never shuts up.
I mean, why does Japanese game companies (or asian, I dont really care.) Platinum, Nintendo Koei Tecmo etc. They get all the praise with mediocer games such as Super Mario and stuff. Koei tecmo sucks at PC ports (Its locked at 30 fps, if you mess with ini file to increase it, it speeds up the game to the point where its unplayable) and they charge 60 dollars for this crap. The fanboys aka Weeaboos still defend it to the death. (I can't image asians bying it anyway.)
Then the few pinacles of companies we have left such as Blizzard, Bioware, Ubisoft, EA (Yeah I know, their micro transactions are insane, but like it or not, their game concepts are interesting most of the time and we keep buying their games) yeah, those companies are being called bad and greedy, and out of ideas and what not because they are not Asian companies. Do I need to say more?
Back to topic, What the fuck is the Appeal to this game? Its the same button smashing with no varied rotation or combat all the time. Mantid fight revolves around launching yourself into the air chaining yourself to one leg, dashing to it, hitting or for damage and repeat. Thats all the gameplat, or hit it from the ground with same "Light light light heavy attack repeat".
Dragon is clearly overpowered, and there is nothing appealing to the Protagonist. If you ask me, it got to be the most overrated/overhyped game of 2015/6
