IU was fun until the bullshit final dungeon.
Last Remnant is incredible outside of the technical issues.
Though a high score for Rogue Galaxy? Unforgivable.

After the character customization/online announcement, I lost my interest for WKC. I knew it was going to affect the graphics and the unique single player experience. Wish WKC still looked like the first trailer they showed. Hopefully it stills gets some decent review scores.

White Knight Bombicles: 7/7/8/7
--lots of optional content
--big boss battles
--simplistic combat
--customizable combos
--is basically like every other Level 5 RPG. Sadness befalls the land.
--Online has chat issues and a reviewer "hopes it will be patched in the future"

from the pic I think the translation wasnt 100% complete

3 out of 4 reviewers complained about the chat issues in online mode
also they said the combat system is simple but a little bit repetitive, and the combat control need to be refined
and the lack of details in online stuff

Don't SE normally keep everything behind closed doors? Or is that only for a few select titles?

I expected it, was just bored and felt like sharing (probably obvious) info. :p

Jump will be getting something to share as well, I assume?

According to them, there's a new character in Bio5. The new character will act on the same side with Chris and Sheva.

Not sure they are referring to the character that was shown in 1 of the Gamepro screenshots or not.

METAL GEAR SOLID TOUCH is an original game that brings to life the world and characters of MTAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS (MGS4).


METAL GEAR SOLID TOUCH
©2008 Konami Digital Entertainment


With direct control through the touch panel, it's simple for anyone to move their alignment or switch to zoom mode.

Each stage's location and characters are based on the story of MGS4. The initial download will contain 8 stages, with additional stages to be added later.

There are many ways to enjoy the game as points earned by clearing stages unlocks images and wallpapers from the METAL GEAR series.

So the combat is bad?

The original combat was what I was most excited about in WKC.

Basically, most of the complaints are coming from the online portion of the game... which is an entirely optional thing...
Doesn't surprise me though, looking at other Japanese games with online(MGO, I'm looking at you!) having oddities.

Sony/Level 5 needs the magic money hats of Square aka 38/40 The Last Remnant.

HAHAHAHA so true, anyway I didn't expect less than a 32/40 for WKC but oh well, MGS for Ipod touch could be good it's Kojima after all, I'll surely buy it if it was true.

And happy birthday Duckroll

Happy Birthday duckroll.

more iphone games from them (DDR S Lite, Silent Hill The Escape, Frogger)

I first read that as 'Silent Hill: Escape Frogger' and immediately had a new favorite game. Reality is disappointing.

I see, too bad about online but I guess it was to expect.. With a bit more training I am sure Japanese devs will get online right.


maybe

but it seems online is quite important to the main game, the main story only takes bout 30 hours where by the online takes about 70 hours if i'm not mistaken, there are also DLC in the future i assume.

I must admit though, japan has been lacking in the multiplayer/online implementation department, other than PSO or FFXI, most of their online games suck

I fail to see how "simple combat" is a bad thing. Might be repetitive, as they also said.

When they say simple & repetitive it means boring. Same combat as RG, same combat as DC. L5 can't make combat fun for more than a few hours, yet their games last far longer than that.

Guess I'm in the minority that actually liked those combat systems then :X
