this game really dos look like 360 level of quality RPG, i dont think its any better than Lost Odyssey, i checked the screens and the graphics looks just like some previous JRPG on 360, and i looked at the plains and the areas and they looked not so excited, i mean the aart in this game, the plains is so straight when there was fights and didnt look all that must detailed or that much effort was put into it, the final version can be different though,

but i think the game was help back again because of 360!

at first WKC look on par with this game but now its miles ahead of it!! it competing with FF13 now not this game!!

and i think this was because it was exclusive!!

this generation we r missing a lot of quality game for the sake of money, and in the end they dont make that much money like if they did it right!

multiplatform games 80% these days r like something to kill the time with until the big games comes!!

WKC looks waaay better than this game, but I dont know much about Last Remnant, so I will wait till I try it. I hope it comes to the PS3 soon...But yes, you have a point, there are great games this gen, but the past gen had even better games, although its too soon to judge what gen is or was better

but they I would say they are "good enough". Good enough to covey a story, to immerse you in a world. Now, whether this is possible from from the game itself is a different matter.

I don't know much about this game either but my point is just that could still be a good game even though it may not have the best graphics in the world.

the characters look cool....has anyone gone on wikipedia lately??? when they describe the characterts, that emma girl comes up and says she's 41.....ok is it just me or does she look like shes 20.....wikipedia is messed up!

While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.

Star Ocean 5 was garbage and I was a huge star ocean fan.

Docmortem1581d ago

Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.

I personally have not played any game below 80 and thought wow this should have been 80-90 game. The only game I thought should have been 90 was Shadow Hearts II: Covenant. I am pretty sure there will be some games but average score usually is pretty good indication.

do you recommend any JRPG which you think were good/amazing but it didn't score well? I just purchased Tokyo xanadu but it seems way too slow like trails game but trail at least has good story. I will give it a shot

I think there were quite a few JRPG games that got hit with lower meta scores last gen when all these reviewers were on their anti-anime tropes kick. Not that they should get up there into the high 80s or 90s, but they weren't 60-70 games either.

That's mostly died off this gen, thankfully

Ni No Kuni 2 is way better than it's metascore.

solideagle1581d ago

I think Ni No Kuni 2 combat is pretty generic but if you add all DLCs then its combat is pretty awesome. I purchased the complete edition so I can say DLC changes the combat completely

FinalAeonX1581d ago

Ni no Kuni 1 is way better than its metascore

Father__Merrin1581d ago

meta scores are rubbish best ignore them. many gems out there

solideagle1581d ago (Edited 1581d ago )

can you please name few?

Kocurstvo1580d ago (Edited 1580d ago )

Useless to argument troll, but e.g. Eat Lead is hilarious and extremely funny, yet mediocre on metastupids.... Lords of the Fallen, Strange brigade... I could name hundreds

It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
