“Pairs the tedium of endless, mindless 'click here!' pseudo-MMOs with excruciatingly pointless cutscenes, all of which enforce waiting for the overloaded servers to load the graphics, regardless of quality settings.”
“Graphic is glitchy and slow.”
“Why does every Netmarble game have such terrible FPS? No matter what graphics settings you choose, the FPS remains the same, and the battles look really ugly. There are many better-looking games out there that don't lag. I think I'm done with Netmarble.”
