Has potential but falls flat

I had such high hopes for this game... the game mechanics are there and fun but other than that it's just another FPS. No story and no RPG elements... and the game is based off an RPG. It's all just deathmatching... also the thing that sucks is there is no respawning.. when you die you just drop the controller and watch the rest of the match unless you are resurrected. Also you LOSE everything you bought during the match if you die... REALLY?!?! I BOUGHT THOSE ITEMS adleast let me keep them. The other thing that bothers me is that it's all FPS, running and gunning.. and mostly guns... in the beginning of every match you get a stupid pistol while everyone on the other team has machine guns or good tech, totally unbalanced. there is a third person view but only if you have a sword. The sword, spells, and tech are the best part of the game but good luck using it OUT of training as you will most likely not earn enough money to buy them. Also if you do NOT have Xbox live you really can't play unless you like playing with bots. Again, no story... just one objective.. kill everyone who is not on your team. I hate when good tabletop RPGs are turned into bad games... especially making it a shooter when it should be an RPG.. or adleast have the mechanics of one. That's like throwing link from Zelda into a Madden game. It doesn't work. Bottom line is the game falls flat and is only worth a rent. After a few hours out of training you will get bored or tired of dying after 10 seconds of the match. I want to play.. NOT WATCH!!!
