Now back to your regularly scheduled tangent already in progress...
Reimu:
There's so many leaves falling I can't see through them all... Can I really make it all the way to the mountain like this?
Huh? I smell something tasty...
Minoriko
Even though you're a shrine maiden, you want to eat a god? How ridiculous! What insolence!
Reimu
Who said I was going to eat you? But is that delicious smell coming from you?
Minoriko
Gods always put a great deal of care into their odor. Oh, by the way, I'm the harvest god.
Reimu
Mmmm, so that's why you smell like half-baked sweet potatoes.
Minoriko
Freshly-harvested sweet potatoes make up my perfume. Do you think I'm going to let a shrine maiden eat me!?

Where do you go after playing the "devourer of deities" card? That's pretty much the tip of Badass Mountain. They blew their load on the title here. You can't top eating a god. It cannot be done. Everything else can only be a downhill slide.
"Yeah, I'm shooting monsters with a huge gun, but I just ATE A GOD. This feels empty now. What am I even doing with my life at this point?"
This game depresses me.

With a name like that, I expect a xenogears related game. No not xenosaga.

So the entire game you are supposed to be thinking "What god? Who eats the god? How the hell do you eat a god? Is it a euphemism? Is someone going down on Zeus again?" and if you are Chronos, you run around panicking the entire game waiting for the creature that will eat you, only to realize the god-eater was you.

But back to the game, with a name like God Eater, I was thinking it must be about someone/thing bigger than Galactus. I mean, he was a god and only ate planets...

Well, awesome and maybe a little blasphemous. But it kinda fits...

Not to say I am not now eagerly awaiting this title.
Weren't D3 doing a similar game too? How did that turn out?

Color me interested.

Monster Hunter is praised becuase the controls need to be mastered. You do not become a pro overnight and the game does not allow itself to be dumbed down so your gameplay gets easier. You have a right not to like it but this is a characteristic of the game and most people that enjoy the game would not want it any other way.

Maybe I just need an Easy Mode, but that is not the way to indoctrinate new players into your combat system.

how come I get stunned, knocked down, and half my life taken off when a monster BRUSHES past me even when it's not attacking, but I have to hit him 60 or 70 times for him to go down, if he doesn't run away and I have to chase him halfway across the fucking map?
You are a man.
It is a Dragon.
Do the math.

In the slums of a city made entirely out of containers and flat-surfaced backdrops
Generic-looking anime kid A walks stumbles into the office of Long-haired bishonen and receives a God-given quest...to fight
With a colorful cast of other generic-looking anime kids, Generic-looking anime kid A is thrown into a world of danger and oversized beasts, and can only depend on himself, his companions...and their oversized penis-compensators.

I'm actually wondering how many games you have, because story tends to be placed on the afterburner in most games.

That should answer your question.
As for stories...well, for one, I'm a writer. It's what I do. Also I just like story modes. I like progression and campaigns. I don't really enjoy playing a game if I don't feel I'm getting anything out of it, and I rarely feel rewarded while playing multiplayer. It's a nice bonus, but aside from fighters I will not play a game if its only focus is multiplayer.

...If I'm ever near a teleprompter I'm going to terrorize an anchorman with this one.
