The game is something that many people like myself have been wanting for so long and 80% of the reviews reflect this. Unfortunately we have 20% butt hurt reviewers who instead opt to give it 50-60 because it is exactly what it is supposed to be. Also, even though it is "unevolved", it shows just how great that style of gaming was. It is still fun, it is still rewarding, and most of all it is still worth all $40 of your hard earned dollars, especially since it gives you more than most $50-60 games do these days. Also think about it, should they bash every single game that is based on the old old school PC FPS titles? It seems like they don't. They just ignore the fact that these games have been done over and over and over again. CoD: Black Ops will release this year and most likely average 90+ on Meta, but other than some dynamic set pieces, what has it added since say, CoD and CoD2 in terms of the run and gun style gameplay? I don't remember PS2 JRPGs being bashed because they were so similar to PS1 JRPGs. |
** yeah, those are undeserved imo
**** Reviewers don't seem to care about "fun" anymore, which is sad

** Critics seem to base a lot of a game's score off of production values & hype, CoD has plenty of that, also they must be doing something right! :p (though i haven't played any CoDs) but 3DDGH doesn't seem to have that big budget going for it
and RPGs innovated planty in the PS2 era, how can you say that! :p and anyways, there aren't many highly rated PS2 JRPGs on meta anyways, only FF which i think innovates plenty between itterations, and they're bashed a lot as well
i don't think people are thinking of the game as a parody/homage, they view it as a ripoff, but there are those who see it for what it really is: "Definitely a love letter to old-school gaming fans" - Gaming Age (100/100) do it isn't THAT bad of a situation :p (and lol at all this text! XD)
