keep in mind that while I buy this game at launch , I make sure to play through the first one before give this a go . I also have other game on my plate and as such I just beat this a few day ago . if you have a decent computer , you will soon realize that this be one of the best look game available . my computer be run it a little slow at first . then , I update my driver . apparently the game be only recognize one of my card . with both in tow , I be run thing very smoothly . I turn off the motion blur effect to gain a decent amount of fp and after that the game never rarely seem to get below 30 fp . here be my relevant computer spec : 2.7 ghz triple core AMD 8gb ram 2x radeon hd 4870 as far as the gameplay go , I will not lie , it be very difficult when you first start out . soon you start to get better gear and better ability and by the end of the game it be only a challenge in the biggest boss fight . the great story , voice acting , and cinematic scope make I stick with it in spite of the difficulty and I feel extremely reward . after play through once , I feel I would fare much better the second time around . this game have more replayability than any game I know , as there be area , story , and quest you would not even come in contact with depend on a major choice you make around 15 hour in . it be one of the best rpg 's out there . just remember to be patient , save often , and do not give up . you 'll be happy in the end .
