Sqaure Enix published a new The Last Remnant gameplay trailer. Enjoy.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Game Rant - "From Star Ocean to Final Fantasy, there have been a number of JRPG's that have been unfairly undervalued by their Metascores. Here are 10 examples."
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.
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
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
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
In this episode, we explore The History of The Last Remnant. A game the recently received a remastered release and had an interesting development cycle.
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.
Gameplay? Just running about for 90 seconds. Nice, tidy visuals, but little interaction. Running in the water for example, no interaction between the character model and the motion of the water. Personally little things like that stop me becoming emersed in the game and in this day and age, Id expect a little better. Shame they don't show any combat or "more engrossing" gameplay. Running doesnt give you much to go on.
Wtf?
This game is coming out tomorrow - and no reviews other than Famitsu...makes me nervous. I'm looking forward to this title...the 360 and PS3 are soarly lacking any really good tactical strategy games (PS3 has Disagea 2)...360 has Spectra Force 3....which blows.
This is entirely differnt but the strategy reminds me of these types of games...so I hope it's good.
But no reviews like I said....makes me nervous.
This is SquareEnix big Christmas game on the 360 and in interviews the team has mentioned that they tried to bridge the gap between j-rpg and rpg....western rpg. Not just pay lip service - but actual spent resources and monies attempting to make a rpg both the Japanese and Westerners will enjoy. Obviously, just looking at the game - you can tell they still leaned heavily in familar territory.
Hmm~only running around to show the game environment?
Not bad, but the map do look similar to FFXI map....and it won't hurt to show how the player will interact with monster and how the game switch between explore and battle mode.
