That reviewer. Man she's dumb as f*ck.
How is the treatment of women in THIS game better than in Dragon's Crown? Really?
It's really starting to feel like she lowers any PS exclusive's score for whatever stupid reason she has fun coming up with.
If she had REALLY played Dragon's Crown, she would have noticed that female characters ARE empowered. Just look at princess Vivian.
Anyway, I believe I hate poly...
It IS really good.
As for longevity, it's really what you make out of it yourself.
The main quest without side quests and grinding will last between 10-20 hours, but there is so much more to that game than just playing it once and calling it quits. Online is a blast, there's a random dungeon once you complete normal difficulty (Three difficulties in the game btw), PvP, 50+ Side quests, 6 wholly different character classes (Except for Wizard and Sorcer...
It's the other way 'round on my side, had to stop playing Xillia because I got so invested in DC. Haha
If you ever stumble across a Sorceress named Elaym (with a BIG E), that's me.
Definitely my game of the year. Can see myself playing this one for a long time.
Well at least it means that this gen still has some life in it. Not everyone will be able to afford next gens on first year, let alone first day!
Are you mad because this game is a success?
For me it's awesome. I grew up on Golden Axe, and this game is pretty much a super beefed up Golden Axe. Or Pirates of Dark Water. With some à-la-Diablo looting.
If that mix sounds good to you, you're gonna enjoy dragon's Crown a whole lot.
Same here, I'm close to finishing my Sorceress normal mode, and I just can't wait to experience every difficulty with every character. DG's gonna last me a looooooong time!
Why would they give this game for reviewing to a guy that has only played FF7 and believes that it is the finest example of jrpgs?
Especially since Tales has been around for so long, one would expect a reviewer to have at least a minimum of knowledge in the field...
Second generation here, probably.
Price drop, probably smaller physical device, and a strong library of games.
So far, there's really only Deep Down that seems nice to me, even if capcom is adamant that this is not Dragon's Dogma 2. (Yeah right, capcom.)
Well that's not really what I call a review. More like 3-4 paragraphs of complaining without any real thought process.
Never heard of that website before anyway.
How is it sexism to design characters as attractive?
If it's discriminatory against a group of person, it's only against "ugly" or "unattractive" persons. Gender has nothing to do with that. Most games also feature hyper muscular males. Is that sexism? No. That's fantasy. Same goes for girls.
Now if girls want ugly lead females, let them design such games.
And if some fat men want chubby leads; Let them design such ga...
Yes. That.
I think it's somehow wrong when people hate on a game because it targets a demographic they are not in.
As for Dragon's Crown. Yes, the art style is pretty much an imitation of old sleaze comics like Heavy Metal and co. This kind of art usually targets the male demographic. And not only 13 yo teen boys like one reviewer seems to believe. I know many adults, me included, that lead respectable lives, with steady jobs and a clean house and a...
The only controversy here is biggots trying to push their morals down other people's throat.
Wow, a game has been made with features of sexual imagery. This game doesn't please everybody and has some sleaze targeted at a mostly male audience. SEXISM.
Come on give us a break. Such a game won't lower women's salary, nor prevent them to vote at elections, nor will it rape 6 years old girls. As far as I know, every single female character in Drago...
I know. But there's no way I'm selling it.
Got both shipped already by amazon :)
Can't wait!
Then just don't buy it?
When you enter a movie store, are you forced to buy porn?
No. Hello, emulator.
Also, Earthbound is quite a niche title. And I still have a working snes with plenty of games, including Earthboud. So system seller? Not at all.
"The controversy surrounding Dragon's Crown begs the question: Does one rotten element ruin the entire experience?"
That's assuming the element in question is "rotten" in the absolute. It is not. For many persons, me included, exploitative sexuality is not "rotten", it's good stuff.
As for those who do believe it is "rotten", I hope they are able to look past it, but that may be asking much. I'll again...
Yeah, like Dragon's crown.
