Do you understand the concept of opinion? Lucreto has stated his dislike for the game and gives his opinion on the matter, with which he gives other games that he personally enjoyed more.
You say it's down to opinion and then make this hypocritical comment:
"Again not everyone hated it, its down to opinion but saying Final Fantasy 12 overshadowed Star Ocean 3 is seriously a joke at best."
I neither agreed or disagreed with your initial comment, and I too shared the somewhat pessimistic view that SO4 would be another technical mess, but watching the video has allayed some of my fears.
Though this vid is in no way proof that we will see a smooth, technically sound final product, you have to admit, the game looked mighty fine in action. Don't get me started on the disgraceful, unpolished game that was Last Remnant, how that game is allowed to be sold at retail is be...
Don't try and plug your podcast after you just made some ridiculous and unfounded comments in the comments above. You are fine to not enjoy a particular aspect of the game, in this case the somewhat over the top 'dazzle' but atleast play the damn thing before you make these kinds of statements.
"I wish Squeenix would stop producing rubbish. Its like they are trying to do new things, and take out all the good things that old rpg's did in the past."
Now I may...
As a MASSIVE JRPG fan, I'm damn impressed. Look at the amount of character/enemies on screen coupled with large and continual lighting effects from the special moves with no hint of frame rate dips. Very Impressive.
I'm also hoping the action orientated combat system will bring into the fold the usual turn-based naysayers.
Will be interesting to see how much Star Ocean sells, can it eclipse 630,000 in the NA market and outsell its predecessor?
Looking forward to this game, for me personally I hope the SP campaign is enjoyable, multiplayer is a bonus.
Answer to the question: people are jealous by nature.
I can't wrap my head around why people are legitimately angry when a game goes multiplatform. It was seriously out of control when FFXIII was announced for the 360. I have been a follower and staunch advocate of the Final Fantasy franchise from the beginning, even though I will be purchasing the game on PS3, I think it's fantastic that more people will get to experience this legendary series.
By all means enjoy yo...
Ouch... certainly not called for, though after reading places like N4G I can see why some people would be sour :)
Yeah very Unprofessional in my opinion.
Yes, I understand but I think that is the nature of the beast. Even if guidelines are incorporated into the reviewing process when designating scores, each reviewer will interpret those guidelines differently and thus we still end up with different scores.
An example is a Uni paper I wrote. My University has strict marking guidelines, yet when given to two different lecturers I received 18/20 from one and 16/20 from the other, that's 2 whole points difference in the exact same pa...
Would be interested in reading/viewing this X-play Review, do you have a link mate?
Yes, Opinion and Bias is certainly a fine line. Unfortunately a valid critique or even valid complaint of a product is often seen as an unsubstantiated attack in the minds of fanboys on both sides. If I was to make a valid complaint about MGS4 or Halo 3's downfalls, I would be attacked by the respective 'sides' and called a fanboy depending on which system the complaint was directed at (even thoug...
I agree about the score mate, the problem is a lot of gamers don't want to actually read a review but would much rather just have a designated number which they think represents the quality of the game.
Listening to Podcasts from many gaming outlets, it is clear they personally don't like giving an arbitrary score to a title. Unfortunately the review process (ie tacking on a score) is dictated by the general populace who 'need' a number to somehow validate a purchasing decision. ...
I could have sworn reviews were a single persons opinion. All these claims of bias and inconsistency is pretty ridiculous (imo), of course there are going to be differences in reviews from the one site, they are written by different people with varying tastes.
I don't see the problem?
Agree Hippo, hopefully console gamers will be able to experience the genre with a great RTS on consoles.
I'm really looking forward to trying out this demo. People say RTS's don't work on consoles but I enjoyed LoTR: Battle for Middle Earth 2?
LOL Figboy, so true. Anyway back to my games :)
1: "You know, things break.” – Peter Moore, right before Microsoft took $1 billion in pre-tax charges to up the 360’s warranty to three years
Yes, things break... but not every 6-8 months...
2:"Now, rumble I think was the last generation feature; it's not the next-generation feature. I think motion sensitivity is." – Phil Harrison, on the Sixaxis.
Who needs Dual-shock 3 :)
3:"Nintendo knows its target audience, because it...
Agreed with most comments. Price is a big factor. I personally love my Mac, but I'm not a PC gamer so the Mac's certainly suite my tastes. I can see why people go the PC route.
Yeah decent sales all round for the last 2 weeks of Jan. Very nice.
@ Morganfell: Wow really, what type of lonely, sad little individual is so caught up in this 'console war' that he actually thinks it has real relevance in society. Sorry to burst your bubble, Sony doesn't give a sh*t about you, nor does MS or Nintendo. You are nothing but a number, a mindless number I might add. I will be glad to add you to my ignore list, anyone that delusional doesn't have anything relevant to say in my opinion.
Goodluck :)
It would be great if they released the original as well for the PS3. Mass Effect is shaping up to be an epic series, everyone should experience it, the more the merrier I say.
