Square Enix has released in the Famitsu magazine some very nice screenshots and arts of its upcoming big RPG named The Last Remnant for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Scheduled (on Xbox 360) for November 20 worldwide, the game will be playable in a couple of weeks during Tokyo Game Show 2008.
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.
I personally have not played any game below 80 and thought wow this should have been 80-90 game. The only game I thought should have been 90 was Shadow Hearts II: Covenant. I am pretty sure there will be some games but average score usually is pretty good indication.
do you recommend any JRPG which you think were good/amazing but it didn't score well? I just purchased Tokyo xanadu but it seems way too slow like trails game but trail at least has good story. I will give it a shot
I think there were quite a few JRPG games that got hit with lower meta scores last gen when all these reviewers were on their anti-anime tropes kick. Not that they should get up there into the high 80s or 90s, but they weren't 60-70 games either.
That's mostly died off this gen, thankfully
I think Ni No Kuni 2 combat is pretty generic but if you add all DLCs then its combat is pretty awesome. I purchased the complete edition so I can say DLC changes the combat completely
Useless to argument troll, but e.g. Eat Lead is hilarious and extremely funny, yet mediocre on metastupids.... Lords of the Fallen, Strange brigade... I could name hundreds
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.
Unreal Engine RPG? No thank you.
I just don't get why Square is even trying to make rpg's anymore? Maybe its because they are running out of the money that FFX gave them? I dont know, but Im sure glad that we dont have anything like this coming to the ps3. It would be a disgrace to everything that is good on my favorite system. Seeing this game on the ps3's catalog of games would be like looking at a zit on a beautiful woman's face.
I have a 360, and I might rent this, but only because its a squeenix game. I dont like the fact that Im gonna have control over 30 something people at a time. Thats more of a RTS if you ask me, and RTS's are only good on the pc. What is up with Squeenix man!? They used to be known for their epic rpg's. Now they are known for making epic piles of manure.
Not too sure about this one.The guys who made this one are the same guys who made Drakengard,the biggest stinker Sqeenix has ever made
I don't know what happened to SE. They used to deliver beautiful looking games and this gen all they have released are mediocre games with bland graphics.
accidentallyt posted this on a LBP article :(
i hate that this game has become a timed a timed exclusive...
its because of that, that i refuse to give square my money on first day..
i will wait since there are other games as good if not better when it comes out on ps3.. (take note develoers/publishers, the game is old so the pay off better be good for timed)
but i hope the game is good.. it can only be better when it it hits ps3
but my plan is to rent it on gamefly and buy it used................
i hope this game doesnt suck... but if it does suck.. good for you square
