Shame as the game looks like classic Guch. I'd settle for a Vesperia/ Graces style PS3 port at this point. If you're lucky Xseed or Atlus will grab the rights and put it out on the Wii over here, but probably not, as the Wii NA JRPG sales aren't exactly burgeoning.
The only reason why I bought a 360 was because of BD and Lost Odyssey. I'd pretty much follow this man to wherever he casts his lot, but at he really should bury the hatchet (crazy Ken has stepped...
Or are you just seeing 'Dynasty Warriors developers' and making unfounded and wild opinions? This game is nothing like DW. The pacing, setting, graphics, numerous sidequests and three combatant setup are all unique.
I've played three demos - two Japanese, one American - and watched or downloaded off the Japanese PSN every piece of video content on the game. It's an esteemed series that dates back to the PSX days (Zill O'll) and this is the first iteration ...
It's an uncompromising, old-school (well PS2 era) JRPG. That makes it a 9-10 in my books. The American media has been INCREDIBLY kind to this game considering its genre and how it plays/ is made.
My copy should arrive in the mail tomorrow - can't wait!
Sony has this incredible conference about "connected experiences" and "networks" and "PS Suite" then immediately goes against the grain of what they've advocated. Yes, I realize Ericsson is semi-independent, but still. This is a cashgrab, pure and simple.
I have about 10 PSX classics downloaded from the PSN, that I would love to have on my phone. But not at $5 and up each.
I'll probably just pick up an iPhone 5 (coming s...
Probably not going to happen. Not being a hater, the game looks awesome, but it didn't exactly set the world on fire.
Actual USABLE size is 6.5ish GB. The rest is used by copy-protection. You won't find a disc image larger than that, Google it if you don't believe me.
Could've sworn that they were. So even removing them from the equation, it still wouldn't fit on a single 360 disc, not by a longshot (6.7 GB, rest is eaten up with copy protection).
That's what this article is about right? The - supposed - uselessness of blu-ray? It's sort of proved the opposite. Nothing like self-ownage.
KZ3, multi-plat edition. Compressed textures, multiplayer on disc 2. Cinematics on discs 3-10. Awesome, sign me up. <...
I'm sure he's laughing in his Kotaku fortress (mom's basement) this very second.
Brilliant game, story (2 separate character plots), game-play, and graphics for a launch title. AND it had the oh-so-mighty online component too. There was a PSP sequel/ continuation but we never got that over here.
I think they shelved the series after that :( BUT the IP is still kicking around, so there's always hope. That same desperate hope that has me yearning for a Legend of Dragoon sequel one day.
The only thing that is the same is the development team (Omega Force). This game doesn't play the same at all. Co-operative attacks, a team of 3. Fantasy setting, epic story. Wtf are you talking about?
If you go into something hating it, you're going to, ya know, hate it.
Gamepro has been getting sloppier and sloppier. This is atrocious. Trinity has been getting 7s across the board, from a community of North American wtf is a JRPG, where are the crosshairs reviewers weaned on FPSes. That's pretty stellar for a JRPG, far as I'm concerned.

That aside, I don't care which platforms it comes out on. My most anticipated game EVER.
I'm really curious to see what legs Kinect has post-holiday/ 500 mil marketing push/ buyer's remorse/ Wii Syndrome (except Nintendo has some ACE 1st party games).
Really curious.
Edit: At below. Read what I said again, then stop quoting holiday sales figures (shipped too, not sold - but I'm sure the sell-through is decent). Lots of things are front-loaded from hype and sales. I'll eat a porcupine if Kinect sells another 8 million next holida...
have a CoD trophy/ achievement on their lists (I don't have a one). So much hypocrisy. The consumers screwed themselves in this case.
So was Lost Odyssey and I loved it. My darn preorder doesn't come till Monday - aargh! And Hyperdimension Neptune is out next week. And Ar Tonelico a few weeks later.
Long live the JRPG!!!

Retail release. Eve. Costs money. Please do a Google search before hand next time. Eve is the exception, not the RULE as far as offering a free client too. Any of the other MAJOR MMOs (which Eve is not, really), do not follow this trend. LoRO, D&D (before they went f2p) all had retail releases that cost rea...
and the financial backing of EA, and the devs can't even make it HD. If you take the time and resources to code properly (for either system) you can usually get better results. Here we have some broken multi-player and subHD rez (possibly on both consoles).
I'll take exclusives any day, for either system. Yes, there are exclusives that suck, but at least you know that all of the developer's time and thought went into making the game as good as possible withou...
I've been stuck (in my head) at $299/ $349 - without 3G and with, respectively - as a price-point for the NGP.
I do hope Sony plays it smart with this device. Would be nice to see them being competitive from the get-go.
Nokia was in danger of disappearing off the map entirely.
There's basically two players in mobile space. iOS and Android. MS can't just throw money at the issue as they usually do, because Apple and Google can throw it back. I don't see Windows mobile becoming a viable platform anytime soon. MS has done a good job with the Xbox brand, but a lot of that was fantastic timing and a series of fumbles on Sony's part.
I don't see Google or Ap...
and as you can see from people who have played the game (or if you were even paying attention to what you'd read in reviews), a grossly misinformed one. But you seem comfortable staying that way, and spouting your hack n' slash mantra.
Oh, and I'm 33 years old, have my own business and two mortgages. I doubt that you're octogeneric enough to be my grandmother, so please refrain from the "sweetheart" business. I'm guessing you're about 20 f...
