It was actually a discussion about Star Ocean: The Last Hope and how 360 owners got screwed by Squeenix by getting a below average JRPG again.

You know, you're right. I'm feeling completely ripped off by Square-Enix right about now. I've dropped a lot of money on their mediocre games this generation. They should have to continue making 360 exclusives until they get it right.

one word. 'kay!

Lol!!! freaking lymle....

 

And ROFL @ the reasons why THEY didnt like the game, all of the above are just excuses, dont trust this PoS review, the game is Great and is the best JRPG this gen so far.

 

RPGReviews = Null and Void.

 

SO4 = 8 outta 10 easy. and im still early on in the game.

- Ridiculously long cutscenes.
- Unnecessarily enormous areas.

Those are actually a positive thing in my opinion.

It's at 79 and will stay in 75-82 range. On par or better than all previous Star Ocean games.

79 after only 12 reviews after this is added in itll be at 77 bestcase scenerio and 76 worst. the others got 80s... it def isnt better like you paint it out to be

 

 Try harder dude, I said it is going to be in 75-82 range and the only thing you proved with your post is that I am right.


then your first sentance contradicts your second. how can it be on par or better beig scored lower?



Killzowned on 08 March 2009

Oh dear, that's not very good at all.



Tbone on 08 March 2009

Easy. Star Ocean: First Departure - metascore 74

75 > 74

I am surprised that I have to explain this.
