Amazon is kicking off the final week's countdown to Black Friday with a fairly good Xbox 360 deal. Kicking off early this morning, if you buy the Xbox 360 Elite Holiday bundle, you get a free copy of Square Enix' The Last Remnant and 4,000 Microsoft points.
That means for $400 you're getting an Xbox 360 with a 120 GB hard drive, copies of LEGO Indiana Jones (yay), Kung Fu Panda (boo), and The Last Remnant (yay, I think) as well as about $50 in Microsoft points. That's what we in the biz like to call a hell of a deal. You'll have to enter the promotion code XBOXDEAL during checkout and supplies are limited for the day-long deal.
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!
Carve your burning fist through this list featuring the best beat'em ups you can experience on the PlayStation 3.
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
great deals and bundles help but the simplest thing would be throw in 1 game and thats it and drop the freaking price for the holidays instead of bundles.
add one game and make the elite 359 for 2 weeks or something. do the same with the pro.
doing a 1 week promo durin the last week before xmas wouldnt harm anyone and increase sales drasticly.
