Those were no "Minor" framerate drops or stuttering issues. The game would litterally go to a crawl while just running from zone to zone. Load time to get to a battle clocked in OVER A MINUTE! more than once. Frame tearing as well quite often and video cutscenes skipped like a bad record.


WTF? I finished the game and barely knew of any tech problems until the internet started abiout them. Game ran fine for me.

I guess it's a quality vs quantity arguement.

Exactly this is it! X360 has more RPG at this point of time... PS3 has the better ones imo. Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles and FF Versus XIII alone are reasons for me - personally - to stick to PS3 rather than buying a 360 for the RPG support.


But tastes are different ;)

I’m wondering why Oblivion on the PS3 has a lower score when it’s generally acknowledged it’s slightly better than the game on 360?

edit: I quess this is the problem with using Meta for the scores, as we all know Meta is at best flawed. Over all i think the outcome is around about right though.

 

Slimebeast, why is Demons Souls not a Jrpg & if its not then doesn’t that make it a Wrpg? I think not! Isn’t the definition of a Jrpg an rpg made in Japan?

no

90% of the Exclusive 360 RPGs you listed suck so... whether you think quantity beats quality, that's up to you. I'd rather have less good games, than a lot of crap games.

I said it when it released and I stand by it now. Lost Odyssey was an exceptional RPG. The frame issues were minor. Usually a small drop at the start of some battles and smooth there after. The simple fact of the matter is this. If Lost Oddyssey was titled Final Fantasy it would 90% + Metacritic score.

Although I think its unlikely, I still hope for a sequel LO. Although FFXIII will surely pass it, LO is the best selling JRPG in the West. There is a whole another world were Kaim, Seth, Sarah, and Ming come from thats talked about but never explored. It would be nice to for an LO2 to take place there with Seth as the lead or a major character in the game.

I've been enjoying the logic used ITT.

Isn't it strange how the people whose favourite console has a greater quantity of titles seem to think that quantity is what matters, whereas the people whose favourite console has a smaller quantity of titles which have higher metacritic scores think quality is what matters? This would be reasonable, if they orginally had these priorities and chose their favourite consoles based on them, but we all know that, in most cases, the favourite console was chosen first and the decision as to whether quantity or quality matters more came afterwards as a way of justifying it.

BTW, the topic is misnamed. It should be "which is the less crappy of the two", not "king", seeing as only three out of the 35 games on those lists have metacritic scores over 90 (counting multiplatform releases as one game), and they are all WRPGs. It would seem that 360 is less crappy for WRPGs and the PS3 is less crappy for JRPGs (and has a stronger lineup for 2010), as has been said already, but the PC easily beats the 360 for WRPGs and the DS easily beats the PS3 for JRPGs. As does the PS2, and the PSX, and the SNES; it's been a very weird generation for JRPGs, and the two most critically acclaimed ones of the generation that have been released in the west certainly don't follow the usual formula (to the extent that it's questionable to even call them JRPGs).

That is assuredly TRUE. Lost Odyssey was toated as "Final Fantasy Esque game, created by Ex-SE lead Sakaguchi". I believe that a sizable amount of its sells was purely due to this notion.

We also see this with Last Remnant, that game shouldn't have even gotten the half a mill it got in sales, but SE name was on the box and it looked pretty.

It reminds me how Prototype was selling on the notion it was "Similar to Infamous, for anyone who doesnt have a PS3", that aggrevated me so much watching my fellow employees sell it as such(Which we were actually directed to do).

Same thing going on with Dante's Inferno in correlation to God of War III as we speak.

I finished the game as well, and loved far more than I think you did. Still, the game had a massive amount of technical issues. Doesn't stop it from being awesome though.

Yes, very true words.

And Dragon Quest VI and IX are on their way overseas!

Death to cutscene-filled RPGs! Even Lost Oddysey had more movies than necessary!
