| Destiny Blade said: People need to understand that just because you like a game doesn't make it great. Reviews are technical. Is the game technically sound in every area? That's what it amounts to. How many JRPG's have you all played this generation that are master pieces in graphics, story, gameplay, visuals, value, sound, presentation ect? There honestly haven't been any outside of handhelds. I think the best all-around JRPG so far is Tales of Vesperia, and I completely agree with it's 83% score on Gamerankings.com. The game left a lot to be desired and could have been a lot better with better writing, storytelling, and deeper character development. Every thing should effect the score these games are being given. What Vesperia is lacking, for example, can't just be ignored because of how fun the game is or how cool the characters are, thus it only gets a solid score instead of a great one. Games like Lost Odyssey, despite having strong characters and good storytelling, suffered from dated gameplay mechanics and technical issues. All of the JRPG's have had their obvious flaws. I don't see what people are complaining about. The thing I'm having a problem with is how high reviewers are scoring games. |
Tales Of Vesperia has a 84% in Gamerankings.com.But to me I loved TOV's writing it was just a little rushed.But for a game that got released only one week after it got released in Japan it did a great job.And I loved the storytelling,It played like an anime with arcs.But some characters could have been better with a little more character development.
