Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Game Rant - "From Star Ocean to Final Fantasy, there have been a number of JRPG's that have been unfairly undervalued by their Metascores. Here are 10 examples."
While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.
Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.
In this episode, we explore The History of The Last Remnant. A game the recently received a remastered release and had an interesting development cycle.
It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
This was actually announced at the Microsoft conference. I guess "Definite"(PC) version confirmed then. Sucks because I really wanted to play this on my PS3(since its the only consoles I have) this year but seeing as how that won't happen, PC version get.
<-@decapitator ( <-next zone over): If the game is coming to 360 on Nov 20, what makes you so sure if will be available for pc "BEFORE" 2009?
<-@Real gamer 4 life: It's nothing more then an incentive to get you to buy an old game, kind of like how we got split screen for UT3.
(which I did preorder and buy btw for 360)
*suggestion to moderators, why not rename this zone to either....
Fanboy Zone
or
War Zone
Gamer Zone and Fanboy Zone....I think it would be much more fitting as well as entertaining for the site.
Just a suggestion.
Peace out.
2007 was the year of shovelware for Square
2008 looks to be the year of good-but-not-great titles that they see as quick profits.
I'm starting to really dislike Square and I've been playing FF since Gold Cartridge NES days. Not impressed guys. I'm actually cheering on Level 5's WKC to own FFXIII. It may just do it judging by gameplay vids too.
ff13 will be on PC sooner or later
SE is like hungry little dog now. finally some jrpg for pc.
