I solely bought the game, knowing it's turn-based, which is my preference in a RPG. It's probably not the best at being what it is, but this does not take away anything the world and the story has to offer. I see a lot of 1 Star reviews complaining about the new fighting style and yes I have played previous entries...but if turn-based isn't your cup of tea, don't buy it just to complain about it afterwards.
This game is excellent and a wonderful buy. Didn't expect myself to enjoy it as much as I have.
