Well then.

I'm surprised that those small sites that are so biased according to you have rated the good RPG's for the GameCube like Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia with good scores, are currently rating some the RPG gems for the DS with nice scores, and even SNES RPG's have great reviews scores in those sites, but hey, they dind't give modern RPG classics like The Last Remnant, Blue Dragon Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery that 9 that they obviously did deserve.

Which websites are you referring to? You say they gave said games bad scores, but fail to mention what sites are in that grouping.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that IU or TLR are 'RPG Classics'. Both have very admirable sides, but like their predicessors (Radiata Stories>IU), they got similar scores.

GameTrailers has also rated the 360 library fairly well, as have GameTrailers.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

GameTrailers are surprisingly sound reviewers. The scores are sometimes disconnected from what is talked over the video footage, but they are always worth a watch. Very informative.

For their Rockband 1 review, they even had the decency to start the review with a reminder the company that made Rockband is owned by the same corporation that owns gametrailers.

I'm not saying that RPGfan, RPGamer, RPGland and some more gave all those 360 RPG's bad scores, in fact some them did give them even some real good scores, but Bitmap said:

Specialized sites on j-rpgs have a way higher chance of being platform-biased since many are smallest sites run by fans that have associated jrpg with the playstation logo for the past decade.

And with this he suggested that those small sites are biased towards the Xbox 360, hell, I believe that some of there reviewers did put Fable II in there best of 2008 lists.

By the way, if the RPG's that have a 77-79 deserve a 85-89%, what do the RPG's deserve that have an avarage of 85-87%?

stuff

 

Which has nothing to do with what we're talking about:

That western reviewers underscore jrpgs and some people out there ignore those reviews when it comes to playstation games but is always pasting reviews and scores when it comes to 360 jrpgs in an attempt to shun the 360's library.

By the way, your last reply reads just like the previous. Aren't you trying to stonewall this attempting to focus the discussion to some irrelevant point, are you? Ts, Ts, it won't work ;)

Nope, I just responded towards what mrstickball sayd, and to be honest, I don't care much about your biased opinion, and if I take Eternal Sonata your whole arguments falls. The PS2 RPG's also did receive much better scores than the one's you are now refering.

Seguro que eres del PSOE.

Because I disagree with you, I am biased? Oh oh oh, we're entering dangerous territory there.

By the way, why are you mixing spanish politics in this? You are a supporter of the conservative party and just because I disagree with you you assume I am a supporter of the progressist party?

But you won't derail this, hero88.

Western reviewers shun jrpgs, a fact people forget when it comes to playstation games but they are quick to remember when it comes to 360 jrpgs.

So stonewalling has been of no use and derailing has now failed. What are you gonna try next?

Microsoft isn't the publisher skeeuk, nor they have funded the game; they can't take those decisions. Why do you assume this is a result of Microsoft's wrongdoing and not of Tri-Ace running short on budget?

Actually, I think the problem is that tri-Ace can't tell when they made a questionable design decision.

That could be another explanation. And a good one, I might add.
