GamePro: Tales of Vesperia Review

18
Tales of Vesperia is a fairly straightforward Japanese RPG, which isn't a bad thing at all. Sure, it's cliched and it doesn't reinvent the wheel. GamePro is not telling you to run out and buy it as the next big innovation in role playing, though they are saying if you have a soft spot in your heart for RPG games and you liked the other Tales titles, then this is a pretty safe bet for you.
3.5 / 5

Oh so Game Informer have zero credibility too then now? They gave it a 7.25 LOL! You 360 fanboys need to stop crying so much.

Too Human failed. Deal with it.
Tales of Vesperia is slightly above average. Deal with it.

1.4 - More fanboy whining from Bladestar
You're almost as bad as the Sony fanboys who cry foul when magazines give PS3 games a low score. Deal with it, okay? Besides, if you play the game and like it, then what is the big deal? Nobody else is going to be affected by your opinion, so quit your b1tching.

1.5 - Bladestard, you are so wrong
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Guess who gave Halo THE HIGHEST SCORE, the one that is on top of most scores on that website?

Who cares? 3.5/5 is a decent score. Any real RPG fan wouldn't want to miss out on this. If you've ever played a Tales game before you know what to expect. I love the combat system.

2.1 - You're right, Jenzo
But tell that to the stupid fanboys who bash a game because it gets anything less than 90/100. I swear, with every generation of gamers, they become harder and harder to placate.

2.2 - true.
especially since the game is averaging an 8. that means it must be fun. romance of the 3 kingdoms is one of my favorite game series. and that never never gets good reviews. but that doesn't stop me and the whopping 500 others from buying the next installment.

"If you've ever played a Tales game before you know what to expect"

that's the problem Jenzo, the last couple of Tales games were really crap. Tales of the Abyss sucked, Tales of Legendia sucked even more.

The only good Tales games were the GameCube Tales of Symphonia, the PS1 Tales of Destiny and the Snes Tales of Fantasia.

but it seems that you know heck about the Tales franchise and are just defending it because it's an x360 tittle.

i think you have the xbox fanboys to blame for the metacritic scores, they were the first to ever bring the scores up on this website.

a five point review system is pointless imo. give the damn game a 7/10. are they afraid people wont comprehend any numbers over 5. am i the only one who sees 3.5/5 and automatically multiples by 2? am i the only one mad this? *looks around* i think i'm the only one mad at this.

5 - Right
Sometimes, it would be better if people would review games for what they are instead of looking for something that reinvents the wheel. Especially with JRPGs. Its a Tales game, and to expect anything other than another, prettier tales game with a new story and characters is reaching.

Definitely a buy if you are a fan, no doubt.
