Thankfully, aside from that, the story is fun and offers some memorable characters. The issue is that it just doesnвЂ™t work that way. Your character hardly appears like it is interacting with others and the game presents a dialogue choice to make you feel like a part of the conversation. It is such a terrible idea that it makes you feel detached to the game. The one issue that I had with the story of God Eater 3 was how it presents a silent protagonist. The customization that you can do for your character doesnвЂ™t necessarily have to do with generic RPG stats but it is more focused on thinking of a strategy with an emphasis on partner skills, burst attacks, and weapons. All of these can get upgraded or new weapons crafted by completing missions and earning new blueprints for a weapon or item. Your character can equip a mГЄlГ©e and ranged weapon in addition to a shield for defense. The combat underneath it all is fun but starts to feel like you are doing button mashing the more time you spend with it. It is a terrible way to start the game and honestly speaking, it could have turned off a lot of people who donвЂ™t have time to sit through it all. If you can somehow survive it, the game begins to slowly open up more and finally offers you some freedom in combat. It is a slog to sit through the opening set of missions where you do minor tasks disguised as tutorials and sit through load screens one after another. God Eater 3 is a fun game once you dig deeper into it but the opening is just ugly and slow-paced. The gameвЂ™s introduction and tutorial take place in such an underground cell where you slowly begin to learn the combat mechanics and do a set of test missions. Since they are incredibly powerful, their freedom gets restricted to avoid having them out in the wild and instead they are kept in underground prison cells. These are the only capable hunters who can go out in the Ashlands to hunt the Aragami. They name it the Adaptive God Eaters or AGEs for short. In God Eater 3, humanity experiments with a new breed of God Eaters. They do this with their God Arcs weapon powered by the Oracle Cells. They are the only ones who are capable enough to hunt and eradicate any Aragami in this world. They call themselves the God Eaters and use a special type of weapons labeled as God Arcs to defeat Aragami.

They are a threat to humanity which is why an Г©lite group of heroes rise up to end them.

It features a post-apocalyptic world Ashlands that is full of giant monsters called the Aragami.

The story begins directly after the events of God Eater 2: Rage Burst. There is plenty of customization and multiple weapons to use in the mission-based narrative of God Eater 3. The saving grace of it all is that combat is better and enjoyable now. Maps are hardly open and seem completely linear so exploration is boring. Environments reuse assets, feel barren, and suffer from repetition.

This is the first time the series has made the full transition to more powerful hardware but despite that, the overall presentation and quality remain lackluster.

God Eater 3 ditches the portable co-op experience in favor of a more global online multiplayer. It might have originally chased the same crowd but it is a completely different game now and nothing like the most recent Monster Hunter World. It was a project of Bandai Namco after Monster Hunter started to pull off crazy numbers on the PlayStation Portable leading to the rebirth of the hunting genre. Even if the sales of the series were never as good as Monster Hunter, it still managed to do relatively well. God Eater was a competitor to Monster Hunter back during the height of the series.
