I dont understand some of the bad reviews its a great game and its packaged with WKC1. Winning?!

Lovable4817d ago

Opinion varies...

Me and couple of my friends already pre ordered this game. WKC1 multiplayer was damn addicting.

DarkBlood4817d ago

thats dead island and this moved to september holy shit my september buy list is already big as it is lol

Godmars2904817d ago (Edited 4817d ago )

Multiplayer may have been good, but the single player story was more then a bit generic and lacking.

Lovable4817d ago

@Godmars
That didn't stop me from playing the story mode twice.

asyouburn4817d ago

@godmars. Out of the 150 odd hours I put into it so far, only 30 of that was story mode. That ought to give you an idea how little it means to the overall game

Redempteur4817d ago

the story mode is nice , it's nothing ground breaking but it's nice ... in fact it's more like a giant tutorial for the massive ONLINE ..

those calling WKC "generic" probably never went against the 'king of the dragons' with 3 friends.

Anyone you've played the game online should know what i'm talking about.

NewMonday4817d ago

the plot itself is good, its just not well directed.

I started playing wkc again, collecting more rare materials for when part 2 comes out. The story mode is something like Mario, "sorry but the Princessna (get it? -_^) is in another castle". I probably spent 25 hours tops on it the first run and 4 more rushing through it on New Game+. Aside from that my main save file has over 1500 hours game time now. So yeah, the online is definitely the main focus.

I pre-ordered pt2, still waiting on a confirmed
release date though.

WildArmed4817d ago

Dude, I'm glad the rumors that it had been pushed back to 2013 weren't true.
I'm glad they are still pushing for a Sept release date.

chaolankennedy4817d ago

Biggest complaint reviewers have, is Part 2 seems to re-use a lot of the same areas of 1.

That, I can understand. Everything else is upgraded, Graphics, Battle-system, new soundtrack, using Knights online. Definitely a good game.

Raven_Nomad4817d ago

Yes! I was wanting more information about a less then mediocre game.

consolez_FTW4817d ago

Oh! Raven_Nomad you've played WKC2 already? An COD fanboy calling another game less than mediocre...not surprising..

negroguy4817d ago

Sweet cant wait. I enjoyed the game play of the first one a lot.

Xenoblade X felt like Avatar as a game visually. The art in that series is amazing.

This is turning out to be Sony's very own E3 show for the holidays!

Merry Christmas!

@pedrof93

Most likely, yes. WKC was a PS3 exclusive.

pedrof933592d ago

Is white knight 2 a ps4 exclusive then ?

breakpad3592d ago

i hope for a localized Yokai Watch for Vita it seems very interesting and 3 milion Japan consumers are not idiots that bought the game instantly

WildArmed3592d ago

@pedro

WKC2 came out on PS3 as well.

The servers for both games are down now unf. I really wish we see a HD collection of the game. It was one of my most memorable gaming experience from last gen.

I had about 1000 hours into WKC, and 600 hours when they took the servers down in WKC2.

Findingcrybabies3592d ago

I had these games in a backlog for a while, I was very sad to learn that one of the biggest draws to me (MP/online component) had been cancelled.

Fun games, but you need to be careful of how long they expect to support their titles, it seems....not...long.

Minimox163592d ago

Yeah, Im lucky cuz got the platinum of both WKC before that (too many hours lol )

@jspsc123
Im with you bro ! MAG!

nX3592d ago

^MAG was next-gen stuff man, really miss that game.

3-4-53592d ago

More Level-5 games = good

joab7773592d ago

This and then Playstation Experience. What? Ni No Kuni 2 please.

guitarded773592d ago

I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.

WildArmed3592d ago

I understand why they shut off WKC, but I was still playing WKC2 weekly when they shut of fWKC2.

I'm hoping we do see a PS4 HD collection.

elazz3592d ago

These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2

spence524903592d ago

I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.

gangsta_red3592d ago

White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.

Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!

kratos1233592d ago

Wow people disagreed with that statement.
Man I miss rogue galaxy :-(. It was such a amazing games, all those fantastic characters. I loved all my time with it.

3592d ago
Xof3591d ago

It didn't help that it was one of the first high-prifile bullshot games last gen.

And what was weird about it was not only were those pre-release visuals much better than the final game, so was the UI and combat. And then there was all the DLC-whoring--like charging players to edit their avatars.

The ten finest RPGs you can get on your PlayStation 3

Digitally Downloaded writes: "There's only a few RPGs left to release on the PS3 now. The majority of development for those scale projects is moving to the PS4... but it is worth noting that quality over quantity and those RPGs left to release on the PS3 include Dark Souls II and Drakengard III.

With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"

Valkyria Chronicles
Resonance of Fate
Kingdom Hearts 1.5. HD Remix

Hicken3873d ago

I really hate when people put Skyrim on such lists. It might have improved, but what shipped on disc- which is what gamers bought- was crap Bethesda knew they could get away with releasing.

Skyrim gets no vote from me.

Then the author says people who like Valkyria Chronicles didn't play many JRPGs on PS3. Which is an observation I don't believe for a second.

StockpileTom3873d ago (Edited 3872d ago )

I see Valkyria Chronicles as more strategy than RPG but it really does blur the lines. I think it is in a class of its own and I find it to be a true masterpiece which is a term I don't throw around lightly. (I don't even consider any game in the SOCOM series I love so much to be a masterpiece. The same goes for the Souls games which I believe fall just short.)

I really would love the series to continue onto next gen and perhaps add even more RPG elements into it. I don't have much faith in that happening though since SEGA always sends their games out to die with little to no advertising... then they turn around and kill off good series because of poor sales.

[I'm sorry about all the edits- it is hard to compose my words being this tired.]

joab7773872d ago

Valkeria is my favorite...No No Kuni is a close 2nd. After that it gets muddled. Dragon Age is good. Skyrim is a good open world game but I dont love the world leveling w/ you.

Oh...and Kingdoms of Amalur is very good too.

Missing Tales Of Games...

RondoMachete3873d ago

Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.

TheSaint3873d ago

Me too, bought it on release and still play it.

McScroggz3872d ago

There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.

Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash3872d ago

Enchanted Arms was my first RPG on the PS3.
