Before the Last Remnant comes out on the PlayStation 3 it's hitting PCs. The Games for Windows release comes out in Japan on April 9 and Square Enix suggests purchasers have a PC at least equipped with a 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo / AMD Athlon X2 processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Xbox 360 controller. Not too high specifications for a PC game these days, but if you want to make sure your PC works try out the Last Remnant Benchmark test. Oh, and be sure to have an Internet connection (if you're reading this you should have one). The Last Remnant requires a network connection when installing the game.
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.
i prefer console gaming
Link takes me to a different story altogether: "Tactics Ogre Clings To The Virtual Console"
It's obvious it was coded primarily for the 360/PC first, that's why it's out on both platforms first. Throw in the "excellent" UE3 to the mix and you have a disaster in the making for PS3.
I'll wait for a review before I buy it... I just don't trust Square anymore
Had this for a while, it's not really anything special. The hero ( young guy in his Teens) looks like the average SE hero type. But he doesn't suffer from that SE FF thing where the hero looks like a girl but is a guy or vise versa =/
PC specs.. I more than qualify for that.
