GameSpot To Change Their Lost Odyssey Review Score?

iMad - 672 days 19 hours ago

Another part of the story is what main gaming sites have debug version of 360 which seems causes this sort of issues.

Umm lol at all the PlayStation only people who are making fun of a game for loading screens. Need you be reminded about how often you where staring at a loading screen for the PS1? Perhaps you forgot about all the waiting you did with the PS2? Oh and don't forget the biggest offender to horrible loading the PSP!

Oh wow that's right with discs you have loading!

edit: and to the guy above me the only ones who are copying the FF is Square Enix seeing the man who created FF is the head of Mistwalker now.

It is scary to comment in here but...

You are comparing Xbox360 loading times with the Ps1???? you are weird...

And how can you copy something that belongs to you, that you have the rights, that you own??

I like Lost Oddysey but...better i say no more...like i said this place is scary and weird

I'm not compairing I'm reminding. All Playstation only people are forgetting their roots. While yes Square Enix owns the rights but they didn't make it.

know who is behind Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, excuse them.

Nobuo Uematsu + Hironobu Sakaguchi are some of the biggest names behind the Final Fantasy series..

It's not like the guys do not know the RPG formula..

i know you're just "reminding" us but that still makes little sense. how can you compare loading times with the PS1, PS2, or PSP with the 360.

c'mon this is suppose to be a NEXT-GEN system. you can't make people feel better by saying the PS1 had long loading times too.

i usually agree with you but you're a bit off here i think, bad example.

Why?

If i'm playing an RPG with random encounters a long wait to start the fight will make the game piss me off.

If it takes 10+ seconds every encounter just to start and 10+ after it ends thats not enjoyable.

They've got every right to lower a games score over load times just as much as they did when they had a drop in frame rates on orange box on the PS3.

MS continues to rush things out in unfinished or untested states. If they ship a crap product to reviewers they deserve a crap review.

Unfortunately, when they see the reviews it's totally wrong to call up the reviewer and blackball them into re-reviewing their product because it was unfinished and got a low score. It's totally wrong to send reviewers unfinished products and expect them to change their reviews.

Send them a finshed product first and stop making excuses because reviews did their jobs and noted serious flaws in the unfinished product.

actas123 - 672 days 14 hours ago

@iMAD;
Are u serious man! Why would Microsoft send bad DVDs to reviewrs? usually publishers send their best to reviewers in order to get a higher score.. Also, if that is correct it actually proves that Microsoft sends different copies to reviewers, I mean different than the ones they ACTUALLY sell.. Isn't that cheating?
Its possible that Microsoft did send the reviewers at gamespot a bad DVD because of only one thing, they changed the code a little in order to make the game look a little better but that negatively affected the load times.

Actas they reviewed the Japanese version that one had framerate and loading issues. The American Retail version is fixed no framerate issues loading screens have never been more than 5 seconds for me and awesome graphics. Lost oddysey is awesome get it the story is a bit too emotional though for my taste but I am surprised by how adult it is Great rpg guys.

I was really happy MS & Mistwalker released the free DLC for Blue Dragon. The DLC made the game harder. IT really forced the player to play with the deep tactics the gameplay offered.

I prefered the game the 2nd time through... the first time was great. The 2nd play was the best JRPG I've ever played.

I agree with you bro. That review was absolutely bogus. After playing the Demo on PSN...I was like WTF, ain't no way it could have possibly scored that well.

TBYH all this flip floppin' of reviews and there lack of transparency, I'd rather ask a hobo about the state of the Japanese Yen than i would consider Gamespots opinion on a game.

Or IGN really cos Lair is cool.

Then it have a sphere grid lvl system?, blitzball?, Aeons?, chocobos?, moogles?, tonberryes? and many other FFX stuff that i forgot? is Yunnie there? Tidus? wow :O

To say the truth i will get this game, and i have a PS3 and a PS2 too , all this FF comparison is not good, Lost Oddysey is an RPG a good one and have his OWN elements, FF is awesome and have his OWN elements, both are different RPGs, they are not the same game.

Keowrath - 672 days 12 hours ago

Bombomb calm down. r3xmund1 asked what game it was like and you simply said FFX. You gave no explaination at all why just that it was like 10. When ASKED if it had all that 10 had in it you start calling her (Yes it would appear Julie is actually a she!) retarded.

A simple explaination would have worked wonders and you wouldn't have needed to insult anybody.

So back on topic, how long are the load times between battles, I know back on PS1 the load times really hurt FF5, I've been looking forward to Lost Odyssey since I saw the early images and was disappointed to hear the bad side. I'm hearing it has a great story (which is kinda important with an RPG =) ) can anyone who has it give me an example on the loading? Usually load times aren't a problem for me (Hell I'll even play Midnight club on PSP!) but the loads in FF5 on PS1 absolutely killed the game for me =(

are no different than ff8-10.

ie usual 10-15 second fair. but dont think its "black screen for 15 seconds"

its like 2-3 seconds the random battle animation, 3-5 the camera swoonin around the characters, last 2-3 finally settling in your character and then u can choose

its the same as the ps2 rpgs.

microsoft is basically footing the bill for all expenses for the 3 games. microsoft is the reason mistwalker exists

so in a way, they are microsoft property. at least until the 3 game deal is off.

Except, their opinion of R&C was based on the actual shipping code.

Whereas, this review was given a lower score because they didnt know they were playing pre-release code. And, some of the faults they held down the score-for were not present in the final shipping version.

The two situations are very different situations.
