IGN reports, the Last Remnant is going to be at E3. However, it's not going to be there in the form that most would expect. Scheduled to appear as a trailer only, the Unreal Engine 3-powered RPG is being treated like a canary in a coal mine -- warning would-be adventurers of what they're getting themselves into on release day.
Of course, nobody really knows when that release day is going to be, but still... you get the metaphor.
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.
I did not intentionally link this to the PS3 side, but the preview uses exactly the same images and text for both the 360 and PS3. I do not know which version these pics come from, Ask IGN!
On topic. This game is showing much promise!
A Unreal Engine 3 RPG. I'm looking forward to this... lets see how flexible this engine is.
Alright alright. So one playable person now and we are back with political struggle type story but they say it'll have twists in it to make you think twice of a person you may have liked before... I'm still very intrested in this game. Hopefully with the big o trailer they're showing at E3 we can get a feel of what the battle system is like.
Its great to see a new IP from a great developer like Square. Hopefully they treat it like their famous franchises.
is shaping up nicely, and actually Drakengard was developed by Cavia and Square published. This is actually being made by Square, so should be good.
