Forums - Sony Discussion - Star Ocean 4 International (PS3) 1up REVIEW -- "B"

Stats87 on 06 February 2010

A solid score

Metacritic translated that as a "75'.
With WKC they gave it a "42"...in what world is a C- a 42?

I am very confused by their scale

it makes no sense, a B is 75

but a C- is 42?!

Hope is annoying in Japanese and I'm sure he'll be annoying in English as well. The JP voices don't help him...(he needs to be bitch slapped)

will be at my door in a few days, having JP VO is already a major bonus for me for I hated the English dub.

For me the logical.... wait... scratch that. The logical thing for me is to not grade a review. But if you are really going to grade the game then the next logical thing to do would be to not substitute a letter into a number... but if you were going to do that... the next logical thing to do for me would to take the 18 number grades and divide 100 by it which would be about 5-6 points off for each number lower than A+.

 

in a nutshell...

Metacritic = illogical

And if my methodwas used it'd be a 60 for wkc which is a lot closer to what everyone else is giving it



dahuman on 06 February 2010

this is much more illogical than anything, yet I liked it, so it can't be "that" bad.

So, after a year, they basically gave us the features in the Japanese versions (VA, portraits, etc.) with no noticeable change in the battle system.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Didn't they add manual targeting now?
