I'd like to point out something ironic that we'll see here.

We're gonna have every PS3 fan on this forum comment on this thread.

They'll say things like "another square-enix screw-up" or "square sucks" or "MS bought another flop."

However, the irony is that if OXM had given this game a 10/10, these same people would say "It's OXM, of course they gave it a 10/10," and "Let's wait for some real review sites, this one source isn't credible," or, "OXM, enough said."

The irony doesn't lie in their hypocrisy. It's expected. What's ironic is how kids today couldn't hate corrupt government, intolerance, special interests, and bias more than they do now, yet any one of these folks would be far more bias and corrupt given the same responsibilities as any government official in any government.

I can tell you the people on this website, that you could trust IRL with any kind of social responsibility, and those that you couldn't. Fanboyism has nothing to do with what console you like. It's about the type of person that you are.

 

you do IT!, they can do it, so watch them, as i see you countless time bashing r2 and lbp.

and last remmant its multiplatform its comming to the ps3 too, it gets good scores it's good for both.

but of course, it looks like damage control have to be done before "ps3 fanboys hypocrites" come and start throwing dirt at the game * rolls eyes *

something they didnt.

 

 

Gimme a few in context quotes where I've unfairly bashed a game, and I'll apologize for them.



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.

btw, the voice of the main character is the 2nd Black Power Ranger...he's done quite a lot of anime/video games.

My point is why even make this remark?

Because now that I've made it, PS3 fans won't come in here and flame the game openly. They won't do what I busted them out for doing, because it would be so obvious and predictable, it would become a running joke. Any PS3 fan that lends credibility to this score now, is owned, before I even respond to them.

I thought that would be obvious.

I mean, the next troll who now enters this topic and says "MS bought another flop" is owned, right?

If trolls weren't so predictable, most of my posts wouldn't be possible.

I actually think in this case it would be reasonable for Sony fans to want this game to bomb sales wise, but have it get good reviews...why?

Because that increases the change of SE going through with the PS3 port. (potentially "enhanced") If this game sells really well on the 360, SE might feel that it is not worth it to port to the PS3.

The simple fact is that this game was being billed as a better JRPG then IU.

It's gotten an early review however, which indicates it's quality doesn't match IU, let alone exceed it.

Take heart though JRPG fans! These are still early days to be sure, given that the review may be somewhat different to those coming down the line, or it may indeed have been reviewed unduly harshly.


*Boots himself out of thread for not liking JRPG's*

Everything would be alright with your post if you wasnt so totally wrong. OXM IU review - 6.0, OXM TLR review - 7.0.

 

OXM is Official Xbox Magazine right?

You can see the 8 they gave IU here.

-80

Official Xbox Magazine:

"This whole setup would fall apart completely if the red-headed Capell weren’t so freakin’ likeable. It helps that despite the fumbling voice-acting, each character’s lines — as well as the story itself — are well-written. Every new discovery pulls you deeper into the mysteries and personalities that keep Infinite Undiscovery so involving."

 

Edit: You're thinking of OXM UK who gave it a 6.0 you foolish took.

The OP however posted a review from the American magazine, so my post is correct.

Ok, I just watched 3 videos of different battles...still not exactly sure what is going on. But the battle system didn't look that fun...might be different when I'm controlling it myself.

@ zen: I'll say it again: you are quite full of yourself.



Naum on 11 November 2008

lots of grinding? I'm sooo buying this game.

last time I checked LO got low reviews aswell and that game turned out great.

hmm is this game turn based? if so I understand why it got low score, most reviewers hate turn based games.( they can't handle it)



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Official Xbox Magazine is just that. An Official Xbox Magazine.

When an exclusive gets a 10/10, it can mean two things:

1) The game is amazing

2) The game needs to sell well

When an exclusive gets a 7/10, it can mean one thing:

1) The game is not that great

2) The game needs to sell badly

Why would they want that? So a 10/10 is less reliable than a 7/10. There are more overrated games than underrated games.

And by the way, you're overreacting. People on an internet forum complaining about OXM is not going to create another Hitler. I swear.
