Game Republic's Folklore is an enigma. I'm going to tell it to you straight: It's a sensational game. I just don't think I'm equipped to parse exactly how sensational it is, and I may not be able to for several more years. Like many classics, it may require aging in the memory, like a fine wine, to truly understand. It's not that there's anything particularly revolutionary about it. To the contrary, you might call it antiquated: Just another Japanese action-adventure, evoking game grammar that goes right back to The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Kid Icarus. Nevertheless, something tells me–or rather, makes me feel–that I've just played this generation's Ico.
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.
After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.
What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?
I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.
Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already
And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time
just not for everyone, but if you liekd the demo, you will like the game. :)
I cant wait to play this game... Comparing it to zelda and metroid is an honor imo... I gotta agree with the Crazzyman...SLEEPER AAA HIT!!!
lol can't wait for this game
oh wait that's pretty much every ps3 game.. (except lair) there's a lot of sites giving some games 9's and even 10's and then there's the other sites giving games a 6 or a 7,
some reviewers play the game and like it, some reviewers are just looking for flaws.. either way, i just love the variety of games that the ps3 has to offer.. reaches a broader audience, which is the best thing for existing ps3 users
its a pretty tall order to say that this is this gen's ICO... i'll rent it when i get home to see what happens
