Famitsu: Cross Edge Dash heading to Xbox 360

Examiner: "According to the latest Famitsu issue, Cross Edge is apparently heading to the Xbox 360 as Cross Edge Dash."

[Myst]

Wonder if they will be getting the DLC automatically on the disk or if they will have to download it as well.

[DrWan]

Well the DLCs are free anyways, it doesnt make a difference either way for xbox players

[Myst]

Yeah that is true, but I'm mainly wondering if it will be released like right as the game comes out or perhaps later on down the line.

[Dragun619]

Does anyone know from experience if this is a good rpg to get. I've been thinking of getting it but that IGN review gave it 3.5 out of 10.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

But then again its Ryan Clements, the guy that gave Eternal Poison a 3.5 out 10 too. So yea, anyone's personal opinion of this game?

[Myst]

Meh, I went out and got this the first day it was released; though I wouldn't take my opinion personally as I'm an RPG fanatic so my view will be vastly different than those of others. I find it rather fun and even so humorous at certain points, the battle system is not as difficult as the IGN review made it out to be. Triangle, Circle, Square, and X designate the skills you want your character to use, push one of them after selecting an enemy and it's used. Some of your characters can only attack certain enemies depending on where they (your character is standing) Strategy RPG in a sense. For example Felicia from Darkstalkers has a rolling attack, that can attack a straight row of enemies if they are lined up like this:

X= enemies
O= empty

O-O-O-O
x-x-x-x
O-O-O-O

Yet she cannot use the roll attack if it's like this.

x-x-O-O
o-o-x-O
x-o-o-o

Yet if it was like this then she could still hit the ones in the back with the roll attack

X-O-O-X
O-X-X-O
O-O-X-O

I haven't been able to play the game in a while (Due to work and such) so my strategy may have been thrown off a bit with her, but I definitely like it and would recommend it to those who like JRPGs, though I must warn some their is a fair bit of grinding on the normal mode and sure their is a heavy bit on the Hard mode. Not sure about easy.

[Dragun619]

Thank You, I might pick this up as I am pretty hardcore jrpg fan myself. Just recently beat Rouge Galaxy and Disgea 3, two great games imo.

[Myst]

Welcome, and you just reminded me of something I need to beat the three games I got last fall: Persona 4, Rouge Galaxy, and Star Ocean: Till the end of time :/.

Though from time to time the game does have a bit of a Disgaea feel to it just as well at times so a bit of Nostalgia may come flooding back while playing.

[callahan09]

Is this another typo? Famitsu already had a typo with the whole Magna Carta 2 on PS3 thing in this issue. Just doesn't seem to make any sense to port it to 360. So many reasons not to do it, and I can't think of a single reason TO do it.

[Da One]

I'm at a loss for words...........

[Homicide]

Wait, they're really porting this? Why?

[jakethemuss]

With 2 million japanese 360 owners and the few in the the us that would play it why not? Atlus have released rpgs to the 360 as well and they never said it was an exclusive.

[Sony Rep]

2 million? Lol. More like 1 million.

[Godmars290]

Pretty sure MS was prematurely celebrating hitting 1 million last year. Don't even know if they reached that.

Forget that the games simple fan service for Atlus titles with some Capcom people thrown in.

[UltimateIdiot911]

I'm surprise it's being port as Disgaea characters and Ar Tonelico characters are well only on Playstation characters.

[Light Yagami]

LOL! It makes me feel like an ass saying only on PS3.

[thereapersson]

That was rather quick!

[Longhart]

what but i just bought this game now its gonna release to the 360 .....
loss of words also

[sourhead]

if you look at it. its clearly cut and paste with the 360 logo.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

This game sucks anyway.

[supersonicsaga]

But it's on the PS3. If you judge it as a game, it's alright. I'm having fun with it.

[ButterToast]

I played the Japanese demo and the combat system seems interesting. I can't read Japanese so its a bit hard to play and i can't get a really good feel of whether or not I would like it, but it does seem like if you liked any of the series included in the game you might like it, if for nothing else than the fan service.

[Graphics]

this game sucks.. I bought it 1st day released like an idiot cause i was bored.. This game with terrible graphics and dialogue has the worst slowdown, slowdown in every battle even after install.. all u do is grind grind grind, the story is dumb and retarded.. If u in a battle make sure u no what every item you have is by heart because the game doesnt tell what the item is for durring battle, it also takes a bunch of AP to use an item witch is the dumbest thing ever.. and if u die you have to pay money to raise ur party!!! and guess who u paying to raise ur party people?? A GODDAMN PARTY MEMBER!!!!.. damn this game is the trashiest game i played this gen!!!! I stopped playing this game in the 1st dungeon. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!

[hetz15]

I'm happy more rpg lovers can play this game.All I can say is this game is great(for certain people).

[Marceles]

Yeah it's a cool game, it's just not for everyone. Don't expect to fall in love with it until you get more combos and equipment...which you cant do in 5 minutes, which makes a review turn into 3.5/10. It's a good game if you invest time in it.

[admeister]

I didn't see this one coming! Ah well, I've been loving the game ever since I got it on day 1, so addictive. :) More people getting to play this great RPG is definitely a good thing. The reviewers can get stuffed, I don't need their approval to enjoy a game.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Oh, well. imo this game is really not that good. There are WAY better RPGs that are on both the PS3 and 360, so this news isn't a big deal at all.

...well, a lot of people do seem to like it, so who knows?

[bankai]

Eh, unless your into crossover games, the characters featured in this game, the games freatured in this game, sprite graphics, and random battles with enemies your cant see then you wont like this game. Reviewers are nothing more than people who are paid to give us their opinion, i personally never listen to them. if i did, then i wouldn't play jrpgs, because the american gaming press has felt the need to bash jrpgs for any reason it can find over the past few years. but hey, i am my own person with my own mind. everyone has their preference and mine is jrpgs, yours may be fps.
when i feel nostalgic games from NIS are great
i also like namcoXcapcom, super robot taisen, and other games such as this. so i automatically find games like this fun.

my advise is to not listen to reviewers, and make your own choices. dont let the media decide your gaming preferences for you

[Redempteur]

i totally agree cross over games are not for everyone ... from the start this game was for a simple niche of gamers .

Also i don't see much disgaea nor atelier(s) ( or artonelico ) games on the 360 ... if this port is confirmed ..what the hell are they thinking ?

do they want to persuade themselves that cross over games do not work when so many of them were succesfull WHEN you advertise and do them right ...

[bankai]

your exactly right. unless the characters or games featured in a crossover mean something to the player, then the game will suck to the player most likely

[devilhunterx]

now xmens will stop hating on it.

[FF7numbaone]

Dont know the characters so it a no buy from. I guess its like buying warrior orichi without playing SW or DW.

[bankai]

i have personally played every NIS game thats not strat/tactics and i like them. so i love the NIS crossovers and i look forward to seeing more

[paracardium]

official word from NIS?

[Gamer_Politics]

why would they port this garbage over?with all its below average scores..

[bankai]

because you can only take a reviewers word with a grain of salt, plain and simple.

a reviewers word and game score is simply an opinion (of the actual reviewer or someone else). that means it is not fact

the moral; try games and find out for yourself what is for you. whats bad for someone may not be bad for the next man.

[PHIL1017]

it sucks
