Beat-em-up games are classics, as games like Golden Axe and Battle Toads have set great standards, so I can see where the appeal is. Though I have to agree, gunners look boring and overpowered to the point where a monkey on acid could win.
However, one thing that has been bugging me is that a lot of people's argument is "it looks ugly." Since when has graphics mattered? As long as you can TELL what it is, and the game works well with no glitches, etc, my gamer friends and I could care less about the graphics. If we did, we wouldn't play old classics like Star Fox or Toejam & Earl. Graphically speaking, those games looked ugly compared to other games of their time. It looks cool while playing, sure, but we're to the point where graphics just can't really get too much better. I've never been picky anyways.
I might give DFO a try if I'm bored enough. But honestly I'm getting mad at mmo's these days, so we'll see. I don't see it winning over the American audience though. It doesn't look "hip" enough for them.
