CSM: White Knight Chronicles Review

CSM writes: "If you've played many Japanese role-playing games before, you'll likely recognize the plot of White Knight Chronicles right away. A sad princess who has gone silent for a decade after witnessing the death of her mother is kidnapped by malicious forces just as she is being formally introduced to the people of her kingdom. Players take control of a small band of heroes (including one completely customizable protagonist and another that can transform into a giant knight) that embarks on a mission to rescue her. The quest plays out as a series of smaller adventures that have you marching through complex dungeons, battling monsters, and slowly upgrading your heroes' skills and gear. Outside the main quest, players can embark on bonus missions with their customized avatar, venturing alone or joining up with a handful of players online."

even played it so you wouldn't know, your just saying it based on this review...

NaiNaiNai5195d ago

when was the last game you really enjoyed that got below average scores.

and I'm talking fully enjoyed beating the whole bloody game...

T_T

GarandShooter5195d ago

or...

When was the last time you really didn't enjoy a game that got above average reviews?

SaberEdge5195d ago

It's too bad that this game is getting average reviews. That doesn't mean that some people won't enjoy it though. I have a few games in my library that received even lower scores than this and I still really enjoy them.

Braska5195d ago

This is one game you can't go by the reviews. After seeing the IGN review I said "F*** this", I was bored of MW2 so decided to get it, it's a great game. I'd give it a 9/10. The only reason why I'm not on it right now is cause of maintenance, lol.

Toenado5195d ago

I almost canceled my copy from amazon the day the Ign review came out. I'm really glad I didn't. While it isn't anything new I am still having a good time playing it. I don't see any reason for the so many poor scores.

Godmars2905195d ago

Tons of PS2 games. Disgaea 3, though that's still a PS2 game...

Question is, what game have you even looked at that scored lower than 9?

aftrdark215195d ago

I am reserving judgement until I play it for myself. I liked the videos ad the online concept. Got it coming via Gamefly. If I like it I'm keeping it. Some ppl will just let any random review sway their decision. Like someone said in an earlier post. I have many games in my collection that didn't score well but I enjoyed them anyway. If you are a fan of the genre you should try it out at least before you make a decision.

is it biased this game has got mixed review's, some sites have given it an 8.

VileAndVicious5196d ago

So its not just the MAG articles you creep through after all! I knew you loved SONY!

THE MAX SPEED 215196d ago

what? the score is obviously biased they gave T.O.V a 4/5 at the time it came on xbox360.

Shendow5196d ago

Game is one of the best ones out their an unlike some games they say is better then it (Fallout 3 an so on) it doesn't have alot of glitchs (Or any that I have found) and it has a fun online.

Plus their isn't to many games like this that play like a MMO to.

CaitSith5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

Reviews don't matter if you truly love to play games. But, I guess you need high metascores to justify your purchase of the game, right?

The gaming world sure has changed a lot.

ButterToast5196d ago

agreed, way to many people today won't even consider a game that gets less than an 8. sad really since I've played and enjoyed a number of low scoring games this gen and liked them more than games getting perfect scores.

Memorable Music in Gaming #21

Chalgyr's Game Room writes:

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.

Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss

I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

The ten last-gen games that should have "HD Remasters"

Digitally Downloaded writes: "Below are the ten games we'd like to see make their way to the new generation of consoles this year. Or, perhaps, game collections that could be pulled together into a single disc package for even better value as we have seen other recent HD/ Remaster releases."

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.

hkgamer3390d ago (Edited 3390d ago )

story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.

i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.

i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.

would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.

MrSwankSinatra3390d ago

I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD

Relientk773390d ago

Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.

hkgamer3390d ago

they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.

not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.

DougLord3390d ago

NONE - lets keep remakes to games from 2-3 gens ago!

PeaSFor3390d ago

what i want to see:

Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered

WheatBread3390d ago

Screw that we need new games
