Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea Review | Hardcore Gamer

The world is running out of water. What was once a beautiful ocean has become known known as the Dusk Sea – a dry, sandy basin full of monsters and little else. With little water left to go around, Stellard stands as the last hope for many villages. According to stories, this city is absolutely filled with water. That’s why Shallistera, nicknamed Shallie, has left her home. Shallie’s hope is to facilitate an appeal in Stellard to obtain the much-needed resource to bring back to her people. Unfortunately, the Dusk Sea has caused much more destruction than outsiders realized. Even Stellard is running low on water. This is the setup to Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea, which paints an immediately dour picture on the state of this world, despite its bright anime visuals.

That's what I said...
Someone did actually gift it to me at Christmas, but honestly it's just very disappointing, which is such a shame because I thought this game would bring the series back to life. DICE were adamant that this game has enormous amounts of customization but literally just a select few cars are almost fully customisable. The driving is okay, but I would take Undergrounds mechanics anyday.

Disappointed that the game didn't do to well the world is so dead...

Skate-AK3082d ago

Ghost Games made the new NFS. Not DICE. Ghost just used Frostbite.

Niceman913082d ago

Whoops! Of course it wasn't DICE... I must have had Battlefront on the brain as disappointment goes hand in hand with that too!

Good Lord normally NFS not on sale until November of the following year right before next title comes out.
this reboot nfs must be soooooooo bad less than 30 days from release date Nov 18th 2015 on sale now at 23.79

thank God i did not buy that crapfest.

@ gearskin above

this reboot would've done well if only ghost games took it back to old skool style Nfs from blackbox studio Hotpursuit 2 two player style racing without always online,alldrive,autolog crap.

in my personal opinion

GearSkiN3082d ago

Yeah I just even know if I should buy it... Got too much games in my hand. But I'm the type of guy who likes to try all the latest releases.

Retroman3082d ago (Edited 3082d ago )

if i were you concerning this reboot NFS check out gameplay video on youtube first you might be disappointed as thousands of Star wars fan was about Force awaken recently.

for myself i neither bought the rebooted NFS nor wasted money on a Wimpy Force Awaken movie.
they should of title it "The Hunt for Luke Skywalker"
he don't show up until last 3 minutes before credit rolls.

The recent patch fixed a lot of the launch issues and added some additional content. Worth a play at $24

I bought this game on sale a few days ago on Xbox Live for about $25.

Kinda wish I didn't do that.

I only played it for about 2 hours and it is soooooo boring and cheesy beyond anything I ever imagined.

Ended up buying the Forza 6 & Forza Horizon 2 bundle along with the Storm Island on sale on Xbox last night.

Both of those games play so much better.

If I owned a physical disc for the new Need For Speed now, I'd either trade it in at Gamestop for $2 or sell it locally on Craigslist for a bit more-- ugh!
