And it got a

7.0

Too bad because I was looking for an rpg for my 360. Also having some flamboyantly (sp?) gay dude doesn't help either.

 

[goldenpp72]

I think it looks wonderful, his problems arent problems for me. Also the gay guy isnt in most of the game.

Same here. I can't wait to play it.

 

[demi]

Sign me up for some homoerotica

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Is this game out? I have a couple people on my friends list playin' it right now.

Like your life isn't homoerotic enough.

 

[GreekWolf]

A 7 out of 10 is considered crap now? My standards must be too low.

I saw it today when I went to pick up Xenosaga III. I'll be picking it up later tonight.

 

[improvise5]

i figured the game would be around a 7.something. but having a homo character should boost it to at least a 8.

 

[demi]

Like your life isn't homoerotic enough.

You're right, you should vamoose

 

[Fallofmart]

Hmm... I dunno, everything points to the fact that i probably wont like this game, yet I still really want to get it...

 

[hyp]

the screen tearing in that video is horrendous. to those who have played the import version, is it distracting while playing the game?

 

[Rekwest]

I will get it this weekend.

 

[ezekial45]

The game doesn't look so bad. I am pretty psyched that the mech from "Metal Wolf Chaos" is a Golem.

Watched review. Looks lame.

thats what i thought most of the people would say.


but for some reason people are ignoring all reviews and impressions and buyin the game without even renting first?


wtf?

I haven't bought an X360 game since November 15, 2005.

Yeah. Screw them for not renting every single games that are released.

 

[typhonsentra]

I actually saw some kid buy this today. I was pretty surprised, game looks like a definite rental first. Then again, this kid was trading in N3 at the time, so he probably didn't have the best judgement.

 

[Vrolokus]

So you've never enjoyed a game that most people didn't like? :\

BTW - how long is it supposed to be?

Well at least the kid traded in terrible shit for something slightly less terrible shit

 

[Junpei Heat]

I just got it and it came with a novel thingy.Impressions......soon?

 

[Sallokin]

I'll end up picking it up eventually, but it'll have to take a back seat to some other games. $60 is just too much money to spend on something that isn't really a sure bet.

 

[siamesedreamer]

I got it from EB.com today, but I'm leaning towards sending it back.

I was really excited to play it though. I'm just right smack in the middle of Oblivion and FF7, so its probably not a good idea to tack on another long RPG.

 

[purg3]

Im about a bit over 4hrs. in, and so far I think it's a fairly good game. The battle system is fast and easy to understand, and the graphics can in some instances be very impressive. On the other hand, the story seems boring and not very interesting. Im already finding myself smashing the A button to try and skip through the text as fast as possible. The voice acting is also bad.

I think the whole golem(pokemon) collecting is going to be the major draw to the game. The variety definitely rocks. Everything from Pizza face guys to crazy anime looking mechs. I would say a 7.0 sounds about right so far for this game.

By the way, has anyone tried the online battles yet?

 

[demi]

Good looks, definitely getting rid of Oblivion to get this game.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

That was my impression too. It came off like a standard "I actually have issues with the genre but I'll act like it is the games fault" GAF post.

I'll wait to read some reviews from other sites.

 

[Mejilan]

How's the localization? Anytime Ubi touches an RPG I cringe a little inside. Their target goals seem to be centered around the mid 1990s or so...

 

[Core407]

The gay guy in this is uncalled for, but the gay guys in God Hand are okay?

 

[CastleBravo]

IGN gave it a 7.6 and they said that there is an option to use the original Japanese voice acting instead of the English dub which is nice. Apparently the Japanese voice acting is much better and makes the game more enjoyable. Sounds like a your typical average RPG and I really wasn't expecting much else. Not sure if I'll grab it or not.

 

[AgentOtaku]

yeah I still plan on Gameflyin this one


....and will be exercising the original Japanese dub option

 

[IJoel]

I've played about 3.5 hours so far and really like it. Makoto is pretty damn hilarious.

 

[OatmealMu]

Absolutely fab!

 

[Adam Blade]

Absolutely fab!

hurrr :lol :lol :lol

 

[M74]

Someone's looking FABULOUS!

 

[Barry Lightning]

it's not going to be called enchanted em arm em em enchanted em anymore?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Okay.. so english voice acting isnt bad on some characters.. but man.. Motako.. holy crap.. horrible..

Transvestite to the extreme (though i know its his/her character).

The game itself has a pretty bleh early story tbh.. I love how a cut scene has to appear to tell me "hit A" to climb the ladder.. =[

But all in all.. the videos are amazing..

The Queen of Ice

WHAT THE F KINDA GENERIC NAME IS THAT!

 

[bengraven]

PSU or FFXI are going to be my j-RPG saviors on this system. And likely the last ones, too, until the Mistwalker games come out. I am NOT trying this game...

 

[ethelred]

Seriously, the game's never struck me as having anything remotely interesting or worthwhile aside from good graphics and the luxury of being the first localized Japanese RPG on an Xbox-brand platform.

My interest is still geared towards Trusty Bell, Lost Odyssey, and Blue Dragon. And naturally, if it turns out to be true, tri-Ace's Infinite Undiscovery aka "Star Ocean 4 in all but name only." Oh! And Far East of Eden -- the first game in the series to ever come out here? That's definitely piqued my interest.
