GameSpy writes: "Infinite Undiscovery could be the first game in a new action-RPG franchise by tri-Ace, the Japanese developers behind Valkyrie Profile and the ongoing Star Ocean series, and it's also the first game that tri-Ace has released for the current systems. As such, it's hard to go into Infinite Undiscovery without some pretty high expectations. If you're able to do so, you'll be rewarded with a satisfyingly solid JRPG experience. There's plenty of combat, storyline, and action to keep you going until the very end. However, although Infinite Undiscovery covers all of the JRPG bases, it doesn't contribute a whole lot of new stuff to the genre, and its strengths are undermined by a couple of key weaknesses in the game design."
Pros:
+Combat is a rush
+AI is solid
+Compelling plot
+Engaging characters
Cons:
-Linear gameplay
-Awkward character management
-Choppy framerate during combat
The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.
Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.
The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.
Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.
I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.
To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.
Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game
I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.
As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.
During the Inside Xbox live stream today, developers from the backwards compatibility team announced that the program would sadly be coming to a close.
What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!
As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.
The current game selection on Game Pass is impressive, but it’s still missing a handful of big games.Here are the 10 most dumbfounding omissions from Game Pass.
"-Choppy framerate during combat "
Damnit I was hoping it was just the video when ever I watched gameplay vids before it was released, bleh idk, I think I'll wait until the ebay price drops or something cause I def want to get another JRPG for my 360 this year.
Anyone who does have this game, how "bad" is it (the framerate during combat), like does it drop to a point where it takes away from gameplay and almost makes it unplayable (like Mass Effect framerate did during combat at times)
i hate when people state "linear" gameplay as a negative.
unless it's an intended open-world game.. no duh!
even open-world games are linear to an extent.
ok score !
Ok for jrpg !
I have loved jrpgs with lower scores !
Linear = jrpg
Moving on.
~_~ still love the game
