| naznatips said: People seem to mostly be rating games by the scores they would give them, rather than the scores reviewers will give them. I can't wait for Valkyria Chronicles, but given the Western reviewer bias against JRPGs there's no way it's pulling above 85% unless it changes its name to "Final Fantasy XIII" since reviewers are all over the nuts of main series Final Fantasy games, regardless of the actual quality. |
There is no actual bias against JRPGs. It is just that most JRPGs have some flaws that most developers aren't even trying to fix. For example, 90% of JRPGs use the same "teens save the world" story which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it is getting old and tiring. If previews are anything to go by, Valkyria Chronicles has a shot at getting 90% on gamerankings and metacritic and at being a cult classic like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and Beyond Good and Evil.
