Who's ready for some White Knight Chronicles 2! cause i know i am :)

Chris3994883d ago

They broke up the classes more in WKC2. So no more LS pwning everything. To heal you need a staff, I believe.

Very cool changes along with all the added MMOish features. Can't F'n wait.

CBaoth4883d ago

Unfortunately, there were thousands who weren't. They just spammed Big Red from GR11 to 15 then wondered why they couldn't complete quests like Miner Problems or Heat Waves wearing a complete set of Generals. Don't even get me started w/ the noobs spammin Demon's Aura at the start of a fight while they had aggro :)

Spear owned everything. M.P. was the only quest a Spear couldn't solo. Judging the changes made to the classes for 2, SSers will be the new fav w/ dual wield.

Chris3994883d ago

I stopped about 4 months after launch. Maxxed out/ geared out my toon and left just as the noob squad started taking over. I really hate using terms like "noob" and whatnot, as every player deserves a chance and I met/ played with tonnes of great gamers, but as with any MMO, some people are just idiots.

And yeah, seeing people at GR12+ in GR7-10 gear was a bit sad, really. I never understood that, grinding the same quest ad infinitum when there was other content and things that a sensible person could be doing with their toon.

WildArmed4883d ago (Edited 4883d ago )

oh no need to rag on them.
xD
I knew alot of 'new' LSes, but after a week or two, they caught up.

though I always asked.. grinding to GR 12.. I can believe.. but why'd you effen grind to GR15 w/o any GR12 gear >.<

There are too many LSes and spearees in WKC, one of the I stayed away from both classes.
Ended up w/ Axe/Bow/Swrd combo.
I gotta say, I was surprised to see Axe dealing the same dmg as LS. (but we just got hit alot more.. no AGI :( )
Ofc, if it's a golem or any type of mob weak to strike, Axe did alot more.. and vice versa(weak to slash, LS>Axe) :D
(oh man it's going to hurt when everything hits back to +0 >.<)
but from what I've heard it's not like u'll ever be using ur GR15 gear again in WKC2. You get alot of better gear right off the bat.. not to mention you need to be GR18 to wear your WKC1, GR15 gear.

W/ the lv80 upgrade in WKC2, I guess i'll have to drop atleast one class from the three I currently have :(

Redempteur4883d ago

I AM !

waiting for the conclusion of the story as well as the customisation of the knights

FamilyGuy4882d ago

I've had the first game since launch and logged in well over 1500 hours. I even have a geo that's still somewhat popular with over 11,000 visits, Raven(FamilyGai)

Kinda pointless to say this but yeah, I'm pretty eager to get part 2. These pics of the DLC quest alone say a lot and those weapons look beyond badass.

I can't wait to get back into it.

Have you guys seen this video?

It's supposedly the hardest quest, you'll notice a lot of the gr12 gear from part one in there so saying our gr15 gear will be obsolete is a far stretch.

WildArmed4882d ago

Nice find, Havn't seen that boss fight before!

And as for GR15 gear, they do turn obsolete very fast.

'Is WKC2's equipments make WKC's useless?

Precisely, at GR15 you can run Veruganda (which used to be a GR21 requirement) and pick up free +10 gears that will have better stats than any WKC1 gears (if you were to manually bind/enhance them in WKC2).'
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boa...

You can pick up 'unkown' gear which are already +10 and have random stats on there, so you can find REALLY good pieces w/ better stats than any GR15 gear.(which is GR18 if i remember correctly in WKC2)

I remember Valkriyie saying the same too..
I can't beleive she platted the game awhile ago >.>
Here's the gamefaq board where i get all my WKC2 info :D

Myst4883d ago

"A North American release has not been announced."

This needs to be changed pronto!

WildArmed4883d ago (Edited 4883d ago )

I concur.
What's taking Sony so long?!
Hoping we'll hear more about it @ VGA awards :D

These guys are really taking their DLC up a notch!
I mean it has the Sun knight in there :D <3

Myst4883d ago

I'm just hoping we won't have to wait as long as we did for the first.

WildArmed4883d ago

Aye.
I'm dying to find out when's the next game
(since April '10..)
It gets me all depressed when i look at WKC2 videos n how all other games pale in comparison
(ofc this is just my personal feelings about WKC-online play)

dorron4883d ago

DLC? They should release the game in Europe first!

WildArmed4883d ago

I don't believe Level 5 does their own localization. Since it's primary a Japanese developer.
Like last time they had Sony do their localization (if i remember correctly)

Redempteur4883d ago

it's coming next year (2011)

radphil4883d ago (Edited 4883d ago )

It would help if we knew if it was Spring, Summer, etc. :(

It was confirmed that the voice actors recorded their lines around in Aug, so it's a matter of hoping it's out soon.

4883d ago
OddBoxx4883d ago

As long as they don't take as long to release this game in the states like they did the first WKC I'll be content, I don't know if I can wait that long again without having to check myself into a mental institution.

Xenoblade X felt like Avatar as a game visually. The art in that series is amazing.

This is turning out to be Sony's very own E3 show for the holidays!

Merry Christmas!

@pedrof93

Most likely, yes. WKC was a PS3 exclusive.

pedrof933437d ago

Is white knight 2 a ps4 exclusive then ?

breakpad3437d ago

i hope for a localized Yokai Watch for Vita it seems very interesting and 3 milion Japan consumers are not idiots that bought the game instantly

WildArmed3437d ago

@pedro

WKC2 came out on PS3 as well.

The servers for both games are down now unf. I really wish we see a HD collection of the game. It was one of my most memorable gaming experience from last gen.

I had about 1000 hours into WKC, and 600 hours when they took the servers down in WKC2.

Findingcrybabies3437d ago

I had these games in a backlog for a while, I was very sad to learn that one of the biggest draws to me (MP/online component) had been cancelled.

Fun games, but you need to be careful of how long they expect to support their titles, it seems....not...long.

Minimox163437d ago

Yeah, Im lucky cuz got the platinum of both WKC before that (too many hours lol )

@jspsc123
Im with you bro ! MAG!

nX3437d ago

^MAG was next-gen stuff man, really miss that game.

3-4-53437d ago

More Level-5 games = good

joab7773437d ago

This and then Playstation Experience. What? Ni No Kuni 2 please.

guitarded773437d ago

I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.

WildArmed3437d ago

I understand why they shut off WKC, but I was still playing WKC2 weekly when they shut of fWKC2.

I'm hoping we do see a PS4 HD collection.

elazz3437d ago

These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2

spence524903437d ago

I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.

gangsta_red3437d ago

White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.

Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!

kratos1233437d ago

Wow people disagreed with that statement.
Man I miss rogue galaxy :-(. It was such a amazing games, all those fantastic characters. I loved all my time with it.

3437d ago
Xof3437d ago

It didn't help that it was one of the first high-prifile bullshot games last gen.

And what was weird about it was not only were those pre-release visuals much better than the final game, so was the UI and combat. And then there was all the DLC-whoring--like charging players to edit their avatars.

The ten finest RPGs you can get on your PlayStation 3

Digitally Downloaded writes: "There's only a few RPGs left to release on the PS3 now. The majority of development for those scale projects is moving to the PS4... but it is worth noting that quality over quantity and those RPGs left to release on the PS3 include Dark Souls II and Drakengard III.

With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"

Valkyria Chronicles
Resonance of Fate
Kingdom Hearts 1.5. HD Remix

Hicken3718d ago

I really hate when people put Skyrim on such lists. It might have improved, but what shipped on disc- which is what gamers bought- was crap Bethesda knew they could get away with releasing.

Skyrim gets no vote from me.

Then the author says people who like Valkyria Chronicles didn't play many JRPGs on PS3. Which is an observation I don't believe for a second.

StockpileTom3718d ago (Edited 3718d ago )

I see Valkyria Chronicles as more strategy than RPG but it really does blur the lines. I think it is in a class of its own and I find it to be a true masterpiece which is a term I don't throw around lightly. (I don't even consider any game in the SOCOM series I love so much to be a masterpiece. The same goes for the Souls games which I believe fall just short.)

I really would love the series to continue onto next gen and perhaps add even more RPG elements into it. I don't have much faith in that happening though since SEGA always sends their games out to die with little to no advertising... then they turn around and kill off good series because of poor sales.

[I'm sorry about all the edits- it is hard to compose my words being this tired.]

joab7773718d ago

Valkeria is my favorite...No No Kuni is a close 2nd. After that it gets muddled. Dragon Age is good. Skyrim is a good open world game but I dont love the world leveling w/ you.

Oh...and Kingdoms of Amalur is very good too.

Treian3718d ago (Edited 3718d ago )

Missing Tales Of Games...

RondoMachete3718d ago

Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.

TheSaint3718d ago

Me too, bought it on release and still play it.

McScroggz3718d ago

There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.

Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash3718d ago

Enchanted Arms was my first RPG on the PS3.
