I stopped listening to reviews a long time ago. I now use them as a consensus of what to expect and see what the game exceeds at doing and fails at doing.

 

Yeah, I think the best thing to do is just figure out what type of games you like, and then read the reviews and see if they are your cup of tea. Some games I loved that got crap reviews are Gun for 360, Prey, for 360, and Radiant Dawn for Wii.

Also, yes, that thing you sent me was awesome.

I love reviews.

But only from IGN

I got about 4 or 5 sites I like to read, not necessarily because they are credible, but because they are well written and produced.

IGN, Gamespot, Gametrailers, 1up, Xplay.

I never listen to them, mind you, I simply use them to help me figure out what the game will be like. For instance, I would buy Vesperia from the IGN and Gamespot text, if they would have both given it 4/10s.

I listen to IGN text and scores.

I generally don't like to buy anything below an eight.

There are exceptions to every rule, but every time I've not listened to IGN, I wished that I did.

I played both FFX and LO for the first time recently and played through them simultaneously and felt that LO was at least its equal and in many ways a superior game (better character development, dialogue etc). I suspect there is a certain element of nostalgia in any statement that says LO pales in comparison to many RPGs of the PS2 generation - afterall expectations have changed massively since then that one cannot reasonably use reviews as a comparison.

 

 

That's a big statement. I can't say I agree, but I do respect your opinion, and it almost makes me want to go back and replay the game.

I wish I had a large enough HD to install it, and I would probably purchase it again, but I just can't deal with the battle loads again, lol.

 

 

The loading can be a bit of a pain. Thank god the encounter rate is so low.

Most JRPGs haven't scored great this generation.

The only valid comment I found was about the story being linear and sidequests not being tied in well.

Other then that, the reviewer was more talking about their own gaming prefences then they were rating this particular title as a JRPG.

I guess we will see when it comes out.

 

To be quite blunt, there haven't been any great JRPGs this generation. Lost Odyssey is the best of the bunch and while it's a decent title, it pales in comparisson to many RPGs of the PS2 generation.

 

It makes me sad, actually. I'm a big JRPG fan and it looks like FF XIII is still going to be the first big game in the genre this generation despite how many times it's been delayed. This could be the weakest generation for JRPGs in a long time.

Lost Odyssey wasn't a big game? White Knight Chronicles isn't a big game?

 

I think he means GREAT GAME. So far I agree with him.

 

White Knight Chronicles is coming from a very talented developer and you still think FFXIII is going to be the first great JRPG this gen.  I hope you think FFXIII will be out before WKC

 

 

White Knight Chronicles is just as late as FF XIII, so late that I forgot about it when writing that post. And I fucking love Level 5. One of the reasons I'm interested in Infinite Undiscovery is because it reminds me a bit of Rogue Galaxy.

As for Lost Odyssey... again... it was ok. And no, nobody's going to change my opinion on that one. I seriously don't understand why people think it's anything other than "pretty good".

A 7.1 isn't so bad. The only problem is that it was another JRPG that the 360 could hold over the PS3. I'm a huge JRPG fan and even I had my doubts about this game, but I'd get it anyways, because the story is good. I suffer my share of repetitive battle systems and lame dubs so I never need to stick my nose in a book. But I'd prefer to save my money for ToV, Fable 2, or Fallout 3. (If I had a 360 for the first two.) Infinite Undiscovery isn't worth the 60 dollar price tag, but it's definitely not a game that RPGs-fanatics should deny.

JRPG's more than any other genre seems to me at least to have the most widest range of opinions on what people view as their favorite/top tier games.

I mean just create a post asking what somebody's favorite FF game is and see how many divergent opinions you get.

If you do the same for say the FPS genre you'll get the obvious hits (Half Life, CS, Portal, Gears, Halo, COD, etc) but it seems like story driven games such as JRPGs cause opinions to vary at least a little more.  At least to me it seems that way.

Worst score then even Too Human?

Too human, after seeing some videos and reading about game features is not that bad.

 

 

thats til you play it :/

its lost it might after it feels like n3.

as for IU, only the battle system looked fun, after hearing the dubbing it was pretty well knew the story wasn't going to be so strong

anyway story isn't always tri-ace strong point, but battle system are always much and games tends to be addictive and to max out take alot of time, like forging best weapons for star ocean 3.

this one lacks the later.
