I'm writing this specifically to people who were riding the hype wagon for this game.

I think people are over reacting a little bit with all the 6,7,8/10s the game is getting. Does every game have to be 11/10 to be considered good? We have people jumping off the hype bandwagon just because it's getting low scores. Am I the only one who always considered 6-7/10 worthy of a rental or a budget purchase?

Also, whatever happened to thinking for yourselves? Are you telling that every single game you've played that has a 9/10 or more metacritic was enjoyed unconditionally? Surely there has to be something that bucks that trend. It's exactly the same thing with 6-8/10s, just because it's low doesn't mean you won't enjoy it.

I'm not saying buy at launch or whatever, I'm saying give it a chance. Note, this is also to anyone riding a bandwagon for a game that suddenly doesn't end up with a 9/10 metacritic Don't be too hasty to jump off that bandwagon, contrary to popular belief, Metacritic and the likes are not the be all and end all, they are not God!

I've been off the WKC bandwagon since early last year simply because I didn't find the ff12-esque combat entertaining but I've been tempted to get back on it after I found out about the "build your own town" function, I'm not too keen on online mode but I think that might be fun if  i give it a try. In place where people seem hooked on Multiplayer, I assumed that would be a huge selling point instead it's being overshadowed by all the (not so) negative reviews, seriously people, if a game gets 6/10, it doesn't mean it's shit on a stick.

Personally, assuming I have money, I plan to pick this up when it's lower in price cuz that's how I roll.

I still imported it despite KNOWING it would get such scores beforehand.

WKC is the perfect filler before the king arrives on March 9th 2010!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Im still buying it......I want to see the IGN and Gametrailers review though



Black Women Are The Most Beautiful Women On The Planet.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Yeah, seriously, if I avoided games that didn't score so high, I'd have missed out on some of the best games we've ever seen...



I'm interested but I never was nearly enough to the point of making a blind purchase. It's one of those games that reviews don't affect my hype for the game, but instead my opinion of what it plays like is holding it back.

I would have to try it out first before buying it. If I never manage to do that, I'll never get it. Providing I'd like it, of course.

FF XIII is another game that reviews don't affect my hype for. But that one would be a blind purchase even if the world was about to collapse. :p



Still waiting for my imported copy, should get it tomorrow.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

So you are liking it more then when it wasn't getting average scores?
