Horrible scores for ToV, and Persona 3/4 Take of it as you will, but those Tales of Vesperia and Persona scores are a pretty bad mark on them. I'll wait for the GameTrailers and RPG Fan scores, as well as IGN. GT and RPGF are the best 2, IMO. And FYI, the ToV review they gave was only 0.25 higher in both the primary and second opinion than this SO4 score. So I really wonder... |
I'm kinda shocked that they rated Eternal Sonata, IU, and Blue Dragon all above Tales of Vesperia. Very weird.
