''Mistaken identity can be a tricky thing to deal with, especially when it means getting locked up for something you didn't do. And then when you eventually get rescued, it leaves you indebted to a group of rebels who thought you were someone else, too. Well, that's the conceit of the oddly named Infinite Undiscovery, in which you play travelling flautist and reluctant hero Capell, who bears an uncanny likeness to Sigmund the Liberator, saviour of the people.
Being a bit of a pacifist and borderline coward, it doesn't take long for most people to see through your visage, yet when handed a sword and faced with a small battalion of soldiers, you have no trouble cutting them down in their dozens. You even have a few daftly-named attacks at your disposal, like Spinning Waltz and Dancing Rhapsody (phrases that Capell likes to shout out every 30 seconds or so). It doesn't make a great deal of sense, but then this is a game in which the bad guys have chained the moon to the planet and within a couple of hours sees your party filled with children, fighting nasty monsters using their toys.
As an RPG, Infinite Undiscovery is heavy on the action. Using the A and B buttons you can chain together light and weak attacks, and holding one or the other down allows you to unleash a MP-comsuming special move. You can also call for heals with Y and use your flute by pressing X – shortly into the game you're gifted a magic flute, through which songs can be played for buffs, dispels and other useful effects. If you have a more tactical mind, you can also sneak up on enemies and use parries to gain an edge in combat, but for the most part you'll be relying on straightforward button bashing.''
The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.
Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.
The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.
Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.
I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.
To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.
Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game
I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.
As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.
During the Inside Xbox live stream today, developers from the backwards compatibility team announced that the program would sadly be coming to a close.
What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!
As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.
The current game selection on Game Pass is impressive, but it’s still missing a handful of big games.Here are the 10 most dumbfounding omissions from Game Pass.
