You know what? I really wish we lived in a world where Ni no Kuni WAS a 6.5.
Imagine the quality of the titles on offer in that eventuality.
Alas alack, it's not to be. Ni no Kuni is a solid 9.5 at it's very weakest.
I was expecting GameSpot to steamroll this.
I hold my hands up. I was wrong.
No.
Games like these garner dedicated followings, especially when they're bona fide masterpieces like Ni no Kuni. People will be talking about this title in years to come.
Can you honestly say the same about, say, Farcry 3? Or the newest COD?. Those are the games that are destined to be forgotten.
Their homogeneity damns them to that fate.
Ni no Kuni - A 7 in a world full of 1's.
Reviews don't really matter to me, as I would of bought this regardless of it's reception. But it is a treat to see it universally lauded.
Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Still, GameSpot are going to steamroll this. The guy doing the review hasn't stopped bitching about the game over Twitter. Expect extreme nitpicking.
Constantly reiterating the same comment isn't going to help you garner a better understanding of why people are interested in this game.
If you were truly interested, all you have to do is read every other comment, or one of the many reviews.
Yes, we know.
You've mentioned that multiple times.
I had to Google that.
The answer is no. I'm fairly apathetic towards "the fight".
"It’s the guy behind you I’m anxious about. The one who’ll only stop playing Black Ops 2 when he snaps the discs in a fit of pique."
F*ck 'em.
Seriously, this game isn't for them. There are enough generic space shooters filled to the brim with overcompensating marines on the market as it is.
I was about to launch into an expletive filled tirade, then I realised it was Kotaku.
Hating anything with even a semblance of originality, or quality is basically a prerequisite to work there.
OK, this is torture.
I'm off to play the demo for the hundredth time.
It's a Japanese PS3 game.
The deduction is industry standard.
Who the hell cares?
I can't tell if you're trolling, or just incredibly stupid.
Probably a mix of both. Regardless, Sony didn't make this game. It isn't theirs to advertise.
I'd like to say that I'm surprised, but I'm just not.
The quality spoke for itself from the first screenshot.
This game reaffirms my faith in the industry.
Proof that not all companies put the bottom line first.
Welcome to N4G.
Where it's 2006, everyday of the week.
Loved the game.
It was a blessed reprieve, in an otherwise lacklustre year.
Who did you order from?
