Umm Folklore isn't even a RPG its more of a action game with creature abilities. the only part of the game with RPG elements is the fact the the creature abilites level up.

True... but so was "Lost Kingdom" really and that game is classified as an action RPG. 

 This game however is different in that you actually get an attack instead having to rely completly on the monsters you capture to fight for you.  That game was actually a challenge for me as you had to fight smart or "levelgrind" your cards. 

Another neat option is being able to create your own dungeons.  I also like how gamespot says the game will be a risk because of it's "Japanese design sensibilties"

So not being Japanese enough likely isn't the reason for it not doing well.

 My gf enjoyed it more because I was doing a lot of stupid things with the Sixaxis.

Yeah I loved it to and I think I will get this game,  it is really the best game for the sixaxis.

na its a good game to show off it's uses, Warhawk is the best for showing sixaxis control.

550 dollar system + new IP + AWFUL MARKETING = bad folksoul sales....
The way you market a game is a key factor to game sales (obviously), while folksoul may be a pretty good and innovative game it just wasn't marketed right. If you look at the facts Folksoul looked like it was going to flop before it hit the street date. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good a game is, look at ICO,shadow of the colossus, okami, systemshock, etc all those games were great but widely unknown.

"Another PS3 game with good graphic and bad gameplay.
But the graphic is not good enough."

I honestly doubt you actually played the full game (or demo) to pass judgement and call folklore "bad gameplay"

 


I havent played so i wouldnt know, but from what ive seen, gameplay looks great and cool, but it gets boring maybe. BUt again i have not played, and it looks great, it just comes down to gameplay


 the gameplay doesnt get boring at all as you are fighting majorly annoying enemies. 

The fact that it uses the sixaxis to capture the enemie's abilities is awesome and adds quite a bit to the overall game.  


now that i did not know, sounds alot more fun if you do that, all the videos ive watched has you useing like 4 moves over and over and thats why i said it sounds that it gets boring, but i guess only if you keep the same abilitys to long. Hmm this one is up in the air for me



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
