White Knight Chronicles Review by TheGo

Like a confused child trying to get everything done to perfection, White Knight Chronicles is a confusing title that doesn't seem to get anything done right, only what makes it passable. Considering that the devloper, Level 5, has had titles in the past that could at least make entertaining gameplay mechanics and characters, the overall experience is a big let down to those beneath the hardcore of JRPG fans.

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

worst next gen rpg confirmed next to Cross Edge that was 1st a PS3 exclusive.

[interrergator]

how come ur saying its the worst if u havent played it yet?

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Because he's fanboy?

[Cyrax_87]

lol max speed. cross edge is on the 360 too, don't spin it. you also have the "worst rpg".

for a while I thought you were quite neutrel as well. It's good to see you finally come out of your shell.

[Obama]

Cross Edge is also on the 360. That's like saying Mass Effect 2 is exclusive.

[ZombieAutopsy]

worst next gen rpg is The last remnant

[morganfell]

No, he has not played it. He's here to troll. Look at his history.

Or better yet, look at soda popinsky's. His last 10 posts have been in PS3 threads.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Well Obama Mass Effect 2 sure isn't on the PS3, but you can find if for Windows and 360... exclusive

[ZombieAutopsy]

but jason im playin ME2 on my Sony Laptop...so does that mean its not an exclusive anymore. You fanboys sure are lame ass mofo's.

[Aleusia]

well I guess I can also play it on my Dell so that must make it a Dell exclusive too, and HP exclusive, and Sony exclusive if you have a viao, perhaps it's also Gateway exclusive.

[Xof]

I don't get all the hate for this game. It's a fun game. It's got essentially the same battle system as Magna Carta 2. The story is well-executed, if cliched (but that didn't stop the Dragon Age circlejerking, now did it) and the music and art-design is all top-tier.

Every review I've read seems like it was written by some one who either only played the game for an hour or so, or didn't play it at all.

[Myst]

In my honest opinion the best musical piece I've encountered so far was in Greede at the Central station. Also I would assume most Hatred for the game stems from the fact that it is cliched and the game isn't trying to hide it, but once you get further it actually becomes rather interesting or more so than at the beginning actually. The main problem though is it doesn't feel fleshed out enough, like a story that doesn't expand upon it's characters more or make the cities feel more lively in a way.

I guess it's due in part that we [ as in us gamers ] have been spoiled by other grand RPGs this generation so we come to expect a higher caliber from other RPGs. This one ( White Knight Chronicles ) is certainly good from what I've gathered, and as I approach the end of the game I'd honestly play through it some more until Heavy Rain comes out.

[Prototype]

My only complaint is the targeting system, other than that it's a medieval Gundam game with the same story since the NES days.

A lot of the hate is because its not a FF, ME, or Fallout type of game a lot of people got spoiled on over the years.

[blitz0623]

Because it isn't this game

[Optical_Matrix]

Blitz...I remember that trailer. I was shocked when I saw the game took such a big graphical hit. I'm not a graphics whore at all but, when I saw that they had been downgraded I was dissappointed in as much as, those visuals were so nice and 100% achievable on the PS3 with no problem....I mean look at FFXIV which is completely online....so I don't get it. Really don't.

[The Great Melon]

@blitz0623

This has been the only thing I have ever really seen about the game since it was announced. I didn't realize that they downgraded the graphics in the real copy. That trailer really caught my eye back when it was released. It looked very fluid.

[DelbertGrady]

It's always the reviewer, not the game ;)

[JD_Shadow]

And you've played it...WHEN?

[DelbertGrady]

No, but I've played enough JRPGs and seen enough gameplay footage of it to understand the critique it's been getting in reviews. Have you played all games you have opinions about?

[CBaoth]

yes most certainly I do. Every game I've ever publicly critiqued on N4G I have played. You mean you actually have the gumption to pass opinion without playing the game? Well, at least your admission lets me completely disregard any comment you'll make as you have no creditability now. Just Troll status. Only use reviews to determine whether or not it's a rental or a purchase. Never let it form the basis of your opinion. Kinda sad too, never thought you were part of the flock.

[Cold 2000]

If you're shocked at the mediocre reviews this game is getting it's because you spend too much time on N4G. Some fanboys were hyping it and spitting on FF13 ONLY because it was a PS3 exclusive.

Anyone who followed this game's release in 2008 knows that even back then it was average.

1 year and a half later and of course it will be even less than average.

[Genesis5]

I bought this game yesterday and started playing it. I think it's a fun game. It's a very traditional JRPG. If you are looking to use review scores on this game. The user reviews are a lot closer to the truth than these so called gaming professionals.

[Blaster_Master]

WKC is the best rpg Ive ever played. It took me back to the NES and old playstation days. Xenogears, dragon warrior, FF, phantasy star online, and skies of arcadia all in one game. Level 5 is the new Enix/Squaresoft IMHO.

[MTEC8]

a 2/10 and the site would of got more hits. Not saying they are not entitle to there opinion but we all know how every single PS3/360 exclusive comes out, one site likes to give it a super low score just to stir sh!t up.

[GameGambits]

I'm so baffled by why this game is getting low scores. It's completely ridiculous. This game IS targeted at JRPG fans... so if you review it A) be one and B) review it for JRPG fans/hardcore gamers...NOT casuals or whoever else might want to pick it up because they saw a shiny knight on the cover.

Anyone...and I mean ANYONE who likes their JRPGs will like this game. It is a SOLID 8/10, and the scores are VERY unjustified to slander it down more. Yeah the story isn't jesus' second coming, but have you SEEN the good reviews crap like Fable 2 got? THAT GAME HAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STORY!!! 0 story was told in Fable 2. 100% crap, and yet this game is getting thrown to the wolves? Plus this games online co-op not only works, but works WELL and is deep/fun.

In fact this games overall quality shadows anything Fable 2 tried to accomplish as a RPG. A finer comparison is this game is probably equal to FF12 in MANY ways. I found the story in 12 good at parts, but the overall dry dialogue and uninteresting plot/ending made it not my favorite. The same can be said here, but it's a great set up for WKC 2's tale.

The real meat and cheese of this game is the online which is a blast---especially with your friends.

DO NOT be turned off by these low scores. If you are a PS3 owner who wants a good JRPG fix---this is def. it.

[siliticx]

You make a solid point. Althought the reviews seems to be awful, i'm having a BLAST! i'm 30 hours in or so and GeoNet is a technological wonder and, for some reason, reminds me .Hack.

Today i logged into PSN and literally EVERY1 on my friendlist was playing it. It's an rpg and it's on PS3. Its a pretty darn good fix.

People seem to make such a fuss about the circle. Why the hell. Seriously, why. If this is getting mixed reviews i can't wait to see the unilateral, single player, ATB-enabled game that is FF13. By that constant we should see 3/10 reviews. But noooooo, its a Squeenix with OMG GFX and is on the 360! it deserves 9-10. amiright?

Professional reviews are starting to get me sick. JRPG will stop coming to the west and will die here like the 360 in japan. I guess i'll need to pickup my Kanji.

[creeping judas]

The game is worth at least 7-8 out of 10 in my opinion. but what can you do??

I like it and I will stand firm with my opinion that this is the best JRPG of this gen so far.

[Myst]

Not the best, but certainly fun. I agree with a score between 7.5~8.0. A nice .hack feel for the game's online portion certainly brings up quite a bit.

[Redempteur]

it's cool to be unforgiving for Jrpgs right now

it's the new trend ..
5/10 is way to loow for this kind of game.

[Homicide]

I agree with the review. The game is pretty easy and doesn't require any strategy at all. I thought waiting to attack wasn't going to annoy me, but wow. The wait time is ridiculous. Creating combos is cool, but kind of useless since the game is easy. Just using the same old slash can win you a battle...even in boss battles.

Story sucks so far, and the characters are lifeless. I don't know anything about them. Also I have no idea why my avatar was added in the single player. She doesn't play a role in the story, and mostly everybody ignores her. She's not ugly btw.

March 9 can't come soon enough.

[Shendow]

Slash does about as much damage as hitting the black knight with a stick, yeah it isn't that easy and so far I have played it hasn't got to easy.

Guess you aren't at the Dessert, I got over run by monsters at level 10 an my part got owned.

[Myst]

Actually Shendow the game is fairly easy if you use this type of set-up. Yulie as a Whitemage/Redmage. Leonard as Redmage/warrior and then whatever for yourself ( I choose Warrior/white mage) essentially I took the design of some previous Final Fantasy concepts to make my characters and so far I've been breezing through every battle. I hit for 80 damage at level 25 then move on to the next monster if my party is attacked by more than one.

So after hitting the next one for 80 or 100 whichever I continue moving on. While I do this Yulie or Leonard finish off the monster so two hits to beat a monster. Even the giant ones are slowly becoming easier. They were easy in the desert if you used the Knight as well. Though I will admit Lunge Slash >> Slash :p. Though I use two-handed so it's Hack for me.

[Homicide]

Haven't got there yet, but it feels like I'm getting there though. So far, it hasn't been challenging at all. I'm been blazing through the dungeons with no difficulty, and your party members heal you when you reach 50-60 HP, so you don't have to worry about dying. I use my combo most of the time to speed things up, but then I run out of AC.

The game is not bad, but the easy difficulty and wait times kind of makes it a tad boring. If the wait times were a little faster, or if I was given the option to adjust the speed like in FFXII, then I might enjoy it a bit more.

I haven't tried online yet. It's the thing I've been interested in.

Yeah, lunging slash = flame slash >> slash >>>>> backslash.

[Myst]

Yeah exactly most of the combos I don't even waste my time on anymore and just leave them for the bigger enemies. Which is where I exhaust all of my chips. Yeah it really isn't that bad, it's addictive in a way for me, but I kind of wish it had a sense of difficulty setting for the game ( which is what I'm starting to hope for in White Knight Chronicles 2 ).

The online I haven't tried to much either, I've put up a quest and gone out to see what it's like; but never actually took it serious or completed it. Most of my attention has been forced into Georama which now needs to be forced into quests. Since later on you have to be a certain guild ranking to develop your property further.

Best combo, I think that was the only combo I used when it was Sword and shield at the beginning of the game.

[Blaster_Master]

@ Homicide. Your a liar. You haven't even played this game if you think it takes no skill or strategy. LOL! I bet most of you who say you played this game haven't yet, your just flaming like all the other loser media sites.

[Chris399]

That, and anything Sony related.

Post your PSN id, or PM it to me so that we/ I can see your trophies.

I'm of the suspicion that you're nothing but a troll. There are multi-console owners on this site who enjoy playing "genres" and not "systems" (I'm a JRPG whore myself, I don't care what console they're on), but I doubt you're one of them. Your opinions are just too slanted.

If you're not simply a fanboy, I have no problem eating-crow and apologizing. But I'm curious as to why you play $hitty (by your own admission) games on a system that you clearly don't like (PS3). That just seems like an exercise in frustration.

Just stick to the 360 if that's where your tastes lie.

[Myst]

I hope I wasn't included in that "most of you" statement :p. If you want to see the two trophies I have gained for White Knight I'll PM my PSN ID or I'll send a message through the bigelow (sp?) system.

[PooEgg]

Homicide I agree with you about not understanding the whole creating an avatar thing. Having you create an avatar, but not having that avatar be the main character of the game just seems odd to me. I kept waiting for Leonard to be killed off or kidnapped so that my avatar could become the hero, and I was bit disappointed when I figured out that just was not going to happen.

The wait time during the battles is a little annoying but I don't mind it too much. My two biggest issues are the wait time during saves, which really pulls me out of the game, and the fact that for some reason everyone on my team except for the character I am controlling have started just standing around during the battles. This is in single play mode, and I just can't figure out what is going on. I have the characters set to Go all out, but they just stand around doing nothing. This only started when I hit the desert part of the game and I a really confused about this.

Oh, and if you are looking for difficulty take your solo character into a quest, I got killed so quickly doing that. I kept leveling up and trying again, but I now understand that quests are better for multiplayers.

But, all in all this game is fun, and it deserved better then a 5. I would give it a 7 at least. I have not played online much yet, I am not a big multiplayer fan, but I know I need to give it a shot in this game. Plus I like creating the hometown, that is a very nice aspect of the game, but I would like it much better if the single player and multiplayer part of the game meshed a little better with each other.

[Homicide]

http://profiles.us.playstat...

You'll see WKC at the top. I already beat the desert level. Didn't find it difficult at all, and I already defeated ***SPOILERS*** Gigas ***SPOILERS***

I'm going to continue playing WKC until FFXIII and Yakuza 3 come out. I have nothing else to play for the meanwhile.

@above, yeah the save times are a little annoying.

[Chris399]

Could be anyone, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

As promised, my apologies.

I still can't figure out why you have a PS3 when you seem to have such disdain for it's library though.

[Lifewish]

this game is much better than a 5.. the online is pretty addictive and the Georama system is badass..

[TehCell]

"ps3 gotz gaemz like wkc, so hahaha"
Yea but the game sucks. So whats the point?

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Actually, despite the reviews, the game doesn't suck. Not one bit. The story does start off a little slow, and is a bit of a cliche. But I don't care.

Basically, if you like JRPG'S you'll probably like this game. I'm actually hooked on the online right now. There's a lot of depth there, and could almost be its own separate game.

[Shendow]

I already got the 2nd part to the White Knight an all I did was get Leo heal and alot of sword skills (66% of them) and Yulie is mostly my magic/healer, my character can heal, skilled with short sword and long sword and can cast some pretty nice fire spells.

[ironmonkey]

SHENDOW? LOL DIDNT I ADD U IN WKC? LOL

[englandsbest316]

It was only a matter of time i suppose.

FLOPTASTIC.

[Karooo]

its a 2 year old RPG, what do you expect dumbass.

[Michael-Jackson]

I was actually looking forward to this game. I shouldn't listen to reviews but the scores are so low, I'm gonna have to flag it :( for better games like Heavy Rain. I hope Level-5 learned from this (they are good developers) for WKC2.

You sound like a f'in multi bot.

[labwarrior]

Maybe it is not that good afterall ?

Or maybe it is not the biggest RPG ever like some PS3 people said it would be ? It is Level 5, i loved Dark Cloud 2 myself, but this game seems like one of the worst ever created actually

[Optical_Matrix]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is the PS3's biggest exclusive RPG. This one is big, but when I got it last april, I loved it but told people constantly to not hype this like it' Final Fantasy XIII killer. And what did they do? Hype it like it's FFXIII killer, which ends up with this dissappointment . It's also Sony fault for not hurrying the hell up and releasing a 2008 game in 2010.

[Kamikaze135]

This game is great and the ideas, if developed further, would make for a fantastic game. However, this game feels like it was rushed (which it was). The story gets cut off at the climax, characters aren't developed enough, lip sync is horrible, and the wait time for battles is insane.

[kaaos666]

Whats with all the hate? i love this game, i mean it has its problems but its fun as hell. i don't think any of these reviewers spent more than a couple of hours on the game.if so they would have scored it alot higher. powerglove should have done the soundtrack for this game and all other games.

[labwarrior]

When i have the choice between this, Demon soul and Mass Effect 2, guess what game i will not even bother renting

BTW it is now one of the lowest scoring JRPG's ever, i mean Gamespot, IGN gave 5/10 and now more 5/10 are coming, does not get lower actually

[kevinx1000]

i remember the droids listing this game as one of their 'AAA exclusives!' :p
(just like MAG and heavy rain)

[Karooo]

get your head checked dumbass. WKC is a 2 year old game.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

"WKC is a two year old game WTC is a two year old game" WAAAAAAAH it flopped. What does two years have to do with it sucking? There were good games two years ago, two years before that, and 20yrs before that.

Stop crying it flopped.

[kevinx1000]

just saying most droids list this (well, probably not anymore) as one of their big AAA titles.

like the guy below me said:
"how can this be?
all of us PS3 fans have been hyping this game for well over a year constantly telling 360 owners that this will be the biggest rpg of 2010......."

[labwarrior]

I have not like a single game much, Demon Soul, the only game i might like is NOT coming to Europe, like ever

and now WKC has got mostly 5/10

Now, after enjoying games like Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean 4, Mass Effect 1-2, Viva Pinata, The complete Fallout 3 and Oblivion versions etc on 360, i really think 360 is the ultimate console right now, by a vast margin too

And it still has Fable 3, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy 13, Alan Wake, Gears 3, Kingdom Under Fire 2, 2x XBLA 2D RPG's etc coming

BTW i never had the RROD in so many years now, that is a myth

[Shendow]

Check the list, Star Ocean is coming to PS3 an has been upgrade from the 360 one, the other titles you list like Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls are on the PS3 as well.

Viva Pinata lol, wow that game has been on DS and the Wii an it isn't one of the best games for the 360 lol, the other games besides Fable 2 are on PC an play alot better then the 360 one. Oh just want to point out that Fable 2 suck Vs Fable.

Just for the fact that you can't get the game were you live doesn't mean the game is bad or anything an if you had a brain, you would know that most PS3 titles can be played even if their not from your reign and most of them support others language.

lol learn to read, RROD is not dead yet and it has gone to 55% and Sony's PS3 hasn't had a problem or as high as 360's from the time the 80GB model was out.

Awesome now two no life disagree.

[callahan09]

How do you come into a PS3 article and say nothing but bad about the PS3 and go off on how great the 360 is and get more agrees than disagrees? What's this place coming to? PS3 fans can't even say something positive about a PS3 game in a PS3 article without getting more disagrees than agree, and 360 fans come in and troll all day and rack up the agrees.

[ZombieAutopsy]

lol bots only come out for this stuff.

[Gimped Hardware]

all of us PS3 fans have been hyping this game for well over a year constantly telling 360 owners that this will be the biggest rpg of 2010.......

I guess all of us PS3 fans are just full of lies,misdirection and anger due to our console not giving us any decent gaming experiences.

well there's always my Blu-ray films i guess.........

[OmarJA-N4G]

So where's my 360 games?

[Michael-Jackson]

2011 is the year of the 360 having no games - anything with an unscheduled 2010 release? While the PS3 has a lineup already - Versus, Last Guardian and Agent if not 2010, poor bots. You know why? because 360 has no games.

[Razgriz]

eh, reviewers don't make any sense as usual. First they praise FFXII and FFXI and when similiar game comes out they treat it with 5/10s. lol
I know WKC isn't as big RPG as Final Fantasy but bashing its battle system is just stupid.

[Shendow]

Isn't WKC batte system almost like Star Ocean Last Hope? Haven't played it yet an waiting for the PS3 copy to come with my copy of Bioshock 2.

It seems more RPG games that come out when FF13 is so close are going to get put down.

[kewlkat007]

nah...Lost Odyssey got pummeled in the reviews(2 years ago,but not as bad) and sh!tted on by Ps3 fans and they hailed the all mighty Level 5 at the time. I remember saying, it's because everyone waits for Square-Enix to set the Standard/Bar.

See, and I dearly loved Lost Odyssey. So maybe some that have played WKC feel like how I felt when that game was reviewed.

Hey, I've played many JRPGs this gen(mostly on 360) and I even bought Last Remnant which is very Meh so I'm no stranger to bad Jrpgs. I reckon , I will give this one a try when it is cheaper but the consensus doesn't look good.

[Shendow]

It is true, FF13 is just a month away an this is one of Sony's biggest RPG games for this month. Unlike FF13 it comes with more, Online that supports 4 players on one quest, build your own town for everyone online to play, hire people from the single player game to work in your town, create a character and create a combo.

Being able to put two weapons together an make a new more stronger one, yeah I think PS3 users can be happy with a game that brings alot and does it all for free.

P.S. I played Lost Odyssey wasn't to great to me, but then again I never like playing any RPG games on 360, don't like going back to the day one PSOne (More disc to install).

[callahan09]

You're right, kewlkat, Lost Odyssey was definitely given an unfair lambasting in the reviews when it came out. However, that was nothing compare to the insane over-criticism and under-appreciation treatment that White Knight Chronicles is getting. Not sure what it is that these reviewers want, but I and many other JRPG aficionados have actually played and enjoyed WKC. It's getting the ultra-hate treatment way worse than the other JRPG's this generation, and I'm not sure why. It's battle system and customization options are definitely fun for me, I don't quite understand why the critics have nothing but negatives to say about that. The online questing is addictive, too, you gather 3 of your friends and you can travel about and talk and enjoy the game together. What more do they think this game should BE?

[Redempteur]

WKC and star ocean last hope battle system have NOTHING is comon

WKC Battle system is like ff12 and ff11

SO4 battle system is like SO3 .

i can explain it better but if you like jrpgs you should have played these two titles

one is a no-battle area fake active time battle system with skills combos
the other is a area battle system with everything realy time and combo based ..

[free3sixty]

OmarJA

You sound really damn frustrated and desperate.

[Michael-Jackson]

You sound more desperate in general.

[DelbertGrady]

^^^ - OmarJA-N4G 2nd account.

[OmarJA-N4G]

^^^ - free3sixty 2nd account.

No i'm not desperate actually i'm enjoying it beside MAG. :)

[Razgriz]

I can't say for sure because I haven't played SO4 much. WKC reminds me of Monster Hunter and FFXI gameplay wise.

[DelbertGrady]

So many turds to choose from, so little time. Perhaps some let's-lose-to-SVER-again 256 player mediocrity with Massive Anal Gape? Or how about some potty training QTE with Heavy Fail? And now something something generic JRPG joins the party! So hard to pick!

[OmarJA-N4G]

The mind of a 360 fanboy...

I'm sure you'll enjoy Project Anal to molest Milo.

[DelbertGrady]

Says the guy with the Michael Jackson account lol!

[Michael-Jackson]

360 has game/s

[Blaster_Master]

The only reason why there is hate for this game is cause its a ps3 exclusive. It saddens me to see reviews for this game because to me its a AAA title, and all of these sites are just giving it a bad name simply because its a game suited for old school gamers. Its not a game that these cod loving media types would like anyways. They only like noob friendly games.

BTW, Im so glad that Level 5 decided not to follow trends and make a game the way you pathetic westerners prefer your rpgs. WRPG's are nothing but bad action games with rpg elements. This is truly the best rpg Ive ever played and haven't even went online yet.

[kewlkat007]

You know I'm a HUGE JRPG lover, but I'll leave that comment alone.

-Enjoy your your purchase.

[Blaster_Master]

Say what you gotta say, i would love to hear what ignorance comes out of your mouth.

[Homicide]

Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles and Killzone 2 all say hello Blaster.

[Karooo]

on march only on ps3. we get so many games u bots wont get anything till halo reach now, except alan wake.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi_]

...for my '1st' xBox 360 Exclusive for 2010...will it ever come??? :-(

;-D

[Michael-Jackson]

Don't WORRY :-) The Power Rangers FPS will save the day... just like every year :D :D 2 halos in 2009 made up for 2008. How long halo??? :( 360 fans are saving money for dis.

[Elle Bishop]

Dear level 5, please make Dark Cloud 3.... That is all.

[tinybigman]

a while back i base my purchase on my interest level and since i was already interested in WKC and love Level 5s games great, good, ok, or bad scores mean nothing to me. i listened to reviews, and other gamers good praise of Fable 2 brought the game and was sorely disappointed how boring and crappy the game was.

after that i told myself that the only WRPGs im going to buy are only from Bioware as the others suck. as for WKC i know im going to love this game as i liked the concept from the first time i saw it.

[foxxy]

final fantasy 12 that game it has a good story and the sidequests is like a whole another game in there. boss battles are so hard cause i always fight them underlvlved lol

[ironmonkey]

I LOVE THE GAME. SAW THE SH*T REVIEW AND STILL BOUGHT IT. WHAT CAN I SAY? I ENJOY PLAYING RPG'S AND JRPG'S REGARDLESS A REVIEW. TRUE GAMER JUST PLAY THE GAMES OR AT LEAST RENT IT IF YOUR SCARED TO WASTE YOUR MONEY. DIVINITY 2 GOT BAD REVIEW THAT DIDNT STOP ME FROM RENTING IT. IT WAS ACTUALLY FUN TO PLAY.

[mcnablejr]

i might sell it =/.

ps. Dont buy a ps3, its got nothing going for it.
apart from err.. er... god of war or gt, they might be alright.

[Michael-Jackson]

Don't be dumb, If you buy a PS3, There is Already a lineup of AAA GOTY games.
There's alot of games going for it, keep in mind that there's alot more PS3 "True" exclusives announced than the 360 not so exclusive and exclusive Sequels. Sorry Bot, 360 has no games for 2011.

[Snert]

You guys don't even know what a flop is, let alone AAA. You people use these terms to loosely. Who gives a damn if white knight story/plot is cliche. Every damn game takes something from another game. Alot of you people hating on the game didn't play it, so on the real I think all of you need to shut your f!cking mouths!!!
