Some titles appear at every press event, showcased to the point of redundancy. That can not be said about The Last Remnant. Due out this November for Xbox 360 and following later on PlayStation 3 and PC, Square-Enix has yet to blow the lid off this RPG and show the world exactly what it can expect out of the Unreal Engine 3 powered adventure. For this E3, the publisher released a trailer and announced the game for the PC but still did not put the game on display in playable form. To grab a few extra details, IGN sat down with Nobuyuki Ueda, producer for Square, to pick his brain through a translator.
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.
They seriously sold us out. that messed how they miss treating us the playstion fans. Its okay for them not to delay ff13 for the ps3, so that the 360 version could catch up, but is not okay to do the same for us for last remamnet. I see where you at square, you basically playing us. I remember back then when square was going out of business and you guys were about to shut down, and it was sony that came to the rescue helping you guys out. But now that you guys are looking to make a quick buck from microsoft, your forgetting about the people who made you what you are today. I mean i don't mind you guys going multiplatform, but atleast be fair.
