Err, Zestiria is pretty weak... All post Vesperia Tales games have less content or are nowhere near as great as ToV (both vanilla and the remaster)... 

I loved Zesteria actually.  Far more than any of the X1 exclusives that have ever been released in fact.  Thats the thing about opinions.  In terms of quality, it deserves far better than what MC gave it, yet TF (an online only game with very limited game modes at launch) scores over an 80.  Regardless of your personal opinion of the game, it was complete and very well made while the other lacked content similarly to The Order 1886, but it got a pass because it was MP.  It has no bearing on my point what so ever.

 

MC is a joke and anyone who tries to base a comparison by it alone has no business making comparisons in the first place, especially because when the tables are turned they would acknowledge the very point I make.  It is laughable.

MC?

Well, that is your opinion. A lot of people were complaining Zestiria was rather short and not impressive, but I think it was the battle system that killed it off... I can agree on Titanfall, but I feel the recent Forza installments have been great...

Sad story. If I have understood right, most of these studios were working with Kinetic games, and as the Microsoft Kinetic strategy appears to be a failure, the games and studios are no longer needed. Where I live, folks say "If the brain is not working, the whole body suffers". Many PS Vita studios had similar fate when Sony put the focus only to Japan for the Vita. I am sure there is plenty of talent in these studios so I hope the people find quicky new projects to work on.

MC is metacritic.

 

As for Zesteria, got 60 hours of fun with one playthrough, which to me is a good game.  I found the battle system to be fun and solid myself, and have seen more positive feedback than negative overall.  To each his own though, it just was not ur style and that is fine and your points are valid for your tastes, however that does not take from the overall quality of the game.  For example, I hate the metro games and found GTAV boring as fuck (I burnt mmyself out on every  one after 3), but I don't deny the quality of those games.

 

To me Zesteria is a solid 8/10 and a 73 on MC is just ridiculous (especially with the jaded view people have these days that if it scores under an 80 on MC, it isn't worth playing).

Sorry, the MCC news confused me... 

Also, while I feel the score is spot on (I'd even lower it and rate it 72) it was a nice game. People think that anything below 80 is subpar but they are very wrong. A lot of games don't have an score over 78 and they are great but people ignore them since their MC is low... A pity...
