Forums - Sales - PS3 gets it's First JRPG in Japan This Week -Predictions for HW & SW - 22/9

Darc Requiem on 19 September 2008

Starcraft I own ES. You can check my gamertag. The game is mediocre. The art style and battle system are top notch the rest of the game is average at best. The game is extremely linear and the lack of side quests make replaying it virtually pointless. It wouldn't be so bad if the game wasn't so short. There really is no point to playing the game after you beat it. Unless, you just have to have the achievement points.

Wow.

Some nice low First day numbers for "Trusty bell".

It'd be lucky to beat out the 360 version.

Shame I really don't care about sales of the game, since I'm much more excited for WKC, and that will obviously do better than a year old game.

IDKY people expected too much from a mediocre game launching a year late on the PS3.

But.. but... but... starcraft said it was impressive and ps3 fans should gobble a year old game up. Why are you saying it was mediocre?

Many Sony fans in this thread have already stated that they expected more from the title.  Western reviewers seem to believe it is better than mediocre.

Did you play it DMeisterJ?

Yeah, I played it for about two hours.

You can check my GamerCard (Diablo Phoenix) if you don't believe me.

Oh thats ok I believe you.

But I do find it interesting that you consider two hours sufficient time to pass judgement on a leveling game that can take up to 30 hours or more.  Especially a judgement that contrasts with the Western gaming press.

Mediocre is what "the western gaming press" reviewed it.

With the broken review scale, a metacritic of 79 is mediocre (or average) my all respects.  I may be jaded by being taken care of by SE and FF franchise, but ES left a horrible taste in my mouth

If you dont accept that, how do you like JRPG's?

On the contrary.  According to Metacritic, the game is seen by Western gamers as "Generally Favoured."

Okay, sure, the game got generally favourable reviews, but again, a 79 is not that good.  Games getting sevens are generally regarded as not too good.

Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Generally meaning by who?  You have quoted Metacritic, and yet Metacritic consider this game to be generally favourable.

I quoted MC to get a number for the game.

A 79 game isn't that good.

Again, with the broken review system, games that get sevens and such aren't that good.

OH ok.  So you quote a source to get a number, but then decry the source's interpretation of its own number as being invalid?

If 7.9's arn't good in our supposedely "broken" review system, what scores are?
