The good thing about websites like meta critic is that give a broader view and hopefully a score balances out across reviewers.
I think im right in saying that the person who reviewed Infinite Undiscovery (and LO) is also the person who slated Assassins Creed last year on IGN and gave it a poor mark.
I loved LO - its one of my favourite games of the year
I love Assassins Creed - yes it got a bit repetitive but i really enjoyed it
Maybe IU is yet another game criticised by this reviewer which will turn out to be better than their score indicates. *waits for more reviews*.
My thoughts on her specific comments:
- The number of party members is sure to detract a little from character development so this is understandable
- Not being able to pause during boss fights, the ability to pause and change equipment / use potions is not a reality of real time combat.
- 15-20 hours suits me just fine I do not have 60 hours lying around to pump into every new game i want to play!!
I think IGN has been a bit hard on some of these recent JRPGs and thats the benefit of the web and being able to read multiple reviews! Reviews are subjective so lets see what their UK and AU reviewers say.
