Hillary Goldstein is really tough on RPGs. It still looks good .....

I'll see as more reviews come in. I've already paid it in full, but if everyone says it's bad, I'll get Disgaea 3 instead and wait for the price to drop on this game.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

The fact that Hillary Goldstein (the same person who did the IGN GTA4 review) reviewed this game makes the review unimportant. Let's see another site review it.

That is not because she is a woman. She is just not a good reviewer.

It sounds ok - but in general, when there is quantity quality always drops. Square Enix might be a big company, but they are working on a LOT of high profile titles at once.

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

 

 

So?  Didn't Haze came from a very talented team? And yes in fact I would not be surprised that FFXIII will be released before WKC. When was the last time we saw something about it?

Oh shut up! Level 5 sent out some screens and artwork early on this year. Besides, Sony has stated numerous times that they are holding the game for TGS. They show games that directed for that audience. (US - MAG and R2, EU - Heavy Rain and KZ 2, and Japan WKC, etc.) Im saying that because those developers are in that part of the world and are usually more successful in their home region. (KZ sold more in EU than US as did Fahreinheit. DQ 8, Prof Layton, and Rogue Galaxy all sold more in Japan, etc.)

You realize that you should probably actually read a review, rather than going by the scores.

There are several great games that I probably wouldn't have played, unless I had actually read the reviews.

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone that agrees with you, if you assert that the best way to decide your playing habits is numerical scores on metacritic, and in fact, you'll probably catch a bit of flack for even asking such a silly question, now wouldn't you?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
