Lost tears of Kain on 10 September 2007

yea, hopefully LO just rules, the graphics are there, looks like story is there, and the sound is def there, just comes down to how great is the combat system



                 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

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.

According to www.gamerankings.com :

Blue Dragon: 77%: I do not recommend anything below 80%, for there are too many other games over 80%, that could be purchased, or rented, instead.

Lost Odyssey: ---%: Not yet rated. This one lies unconfirmed.

Cry On: ???: Doesn't even exist in www.gamerankings.com. This one also lies unconfirmed.

Well, at least you narrowed it down to Lost Odyssey, and Cry On...

Why do you use reviews to base a game? Shouldn't you like it cause you like it, not because anyone else said it was trash. I hate when people bring up reviews about games. Certain people that review games. might not like that genre, probably wasn't in a good mood to review the game. And disliked it to just put down the system. Everyone knew Blue Dragon was the most awaited JRPG for the system and then reviewers disliked the game when it hit stores. And what I definetly hate is when reviewers preview a game and talk all good about it, but when the game releases they talk trash. Thats when I lost faith in reviewers telling me the good and the bad about games. Now I buy games base on what I like and if I think its trash let me buy the trashing games than. And since most of the reviews were negative to Blue Dragon than the game is trash. But its a trashing game going into my 360 and being spent 50 hours of my time on it.

Agreed, exspecially with jrpgs, NEVER go with average reviews, go with a very reliable source, some people really liked it (game informer, game pro) some did but wasnt "impressive" (ign) others didnt (gamespot just go away, i hate you after bioshock, this and metroid reviews)

 Never go off reviews with jrpgs, also i could bring up japans reviews of it and id bet they would be rather high

Alex, so if it's under 80%, it's not good? Tell that to the Wii owners, where only 8 games are above 80%, and 4 above 82%? Give me a break.

It's kind of like asking Famitsu to review a game like Gears of War or Halo favorably - they aren't going to review many games like that, like a US or European magazine would. It's just not culturally relevant 90% of the time.

Read the user reviews for Blue Dragon here and NeoGAF - the 77% rating is vastly under what the user reviews are. I have YET to hear ONE person complain about the game.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

A good segment of western reviews hates JRPGs. Blue Dragon is at least an 8 out of 10. I am on the first disc. You know the part western reviews said was boring and tedious. Well sorry it is not. The game is blast. I like the battle system and the skill/shadow system. If the game is this fun for me during the "boring" part, i can only imagine how good it will be once I hit disc 2.
