Gamespot gave Folklore a 7 and Disgaea 3 a 7.5. I only watched about half of Folklore at a buddy's place, but I've played through a good bit of Disgaea 3 on my roomie's new PS3, and I think the game is definitely better than a 7.5 I've basically come to accept that unless the game is called "Final Fantasy", western reviewers give JRPGs about 1 to 1.5 points in score less than I would give the same game. I've got some other shit to finish, and then I'm going to tackle ToV and IU. I think I might play through IU first. Oh... and DmeisterJ, I beat Final Fantasy 12 in about 25 hours my first playthrough just cause I wanted to get through it and wasn't really enjoying the combat or the story. I'll eat my hat if "15 hours" is the entirety of IU, cause you and I both know it isn't, especially when you throw in Tri-Ace's famous bonus dungeons. |
I agree with you completely. My roommate has Disgaea 3, I have put 15 hours into Disgaea 3 so far. Gamespot, as usual, is completely off base. So far I'd give the game an 8.5 the only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is that I'd have to knock off a point for the graphics. Disgaea 3 is an excellent game.

I agree with you as well. A lot of these self professed JRPG fans on this forum are Sony fanboys. A fan of the genre buys the console that actually provides them games in that genre.
