Jeremy Signor takes a look at the RPG-heavy month of September, with Final Fantasy 14, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Etrian Odyssey 3, and much more.
Probably not that well. Sure, a lot of people will buy it on name alone, but I don't see even a quarter of the people sticking around after the first free month.
RPGs are my favourite genre but none of these look appealing whatsoever. October will be better with Arcania and Two Worlds 2 though.
its been rushed/uncreative/consoleitis. IT feels EXTREMELY linear, ugly, rushed environment.
It feels like they had the PS3's limited RAM in mind when making this somewhat, since this is one of the most limited and narrow in scope mmos i've come across. Now I havent seen everything, but i'll judge off BETA vs Beta of other mmos and this is one of the worst.
When it comes to mmos BETA = Final. Intill patches/money starts flowing. But this game has too much unfixable elements in it to even hope.
"save forthe first Atelier Iris game, with its engaging item creation system, charming sprite-based visuals, and solid battle system. The fact that they lost the plot with the two sequels is ten kinds of heartbreaking."
wow oh wow ... the plot of atelier IRIS 1,2,3 have nothing in common .. it's just an alchemy game with a godess iris they're not even in the same timeline .. there is no plot lost ..
it's like saying that there is a plot lost between ff7 & ff8 ...
These monthly RPG guides are super helpful.
I wonder how FF14 is going to fare....
Wow, I need to finish Deathspank 1 now.
Atelier Rorona for me :) Have to please the RPG whore inside of me
