The Last Remnant feels like a run-of-the-mill PS2 RPG dressed up with eye-popping Xbox 360 textures and graphics. Its load times are atrocious when playing the game off the disc; it takes a few seconds to load each battle as well as a few seconds to load the interior of buildings and different parts of town. Its story is a generic mix of fantasy and technology. Despite these flaws, The Last Remnant delivers on what it boasts of: a unique battle system that lets you command more characters (up to 25?) than ever before in previous RPGs.
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.
It will have the space of Blu-Ray and the power of the Cell.
That's what u said about your mum.
I want to puke.
I just loaded this into my 360 and there are framerate issues during the opening cut scenes.
not a good start.
did any one at square/microsoft load this game into a standard 360 and not a dev kit 360 to notice these issues?
i also dislike the HUD..
this is like the japanese version of alone in the dark, even if they fx the bugs for the ps3 version. i dont expect the game to get any better.
its still early for me to fully judge it but not good at first play/glance.
