If you aren't looking forward to Crystal Bearers or have any doubts, simply check out the Crystal Bearers website. They've actually put a ton of stuff into the game. There's a huge, detailed open world and other stuff to do outside of missions. I may not get it Day 1 but I will be eventually. My game list is already big as it is for Wii. Are you looking forward to it?

I'll get it if I get some money for chirstmas. The GI review may have bashed it, but it can't be horrible!!

There may be some games that I want to get first next year, but I am going to be getting it. It looks like a very good game.

Definitely. It's looking pretty awesome, and while it isn't going to be as kickass as FFXIII, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Looking forward to it.

Just got my January issue of Game Informer, and The Crystal Bearers bears a 5.5.

"And you thought Dirge of Cerberus was stupid!"

"...it is a generic action game through and through..."

"...a mishmash of awful mechanics delivered alongside a predictable and obvious story."

"...the dialogue is particularly heinous, with stilted and wooden exchanges that make you wince..."

"...Crystal Bearers hits its target graphical style...unfortunately, you would actually have to play the game to enjoy the art, and that is something I just can't recommend to anyone."

Isn't Game Informer usually pretty generous with their reviews? If they gave it a 5.5, what's GameSpot going to give it? Man, this sucks...I really wanted this game to be good...

I'm not sure about this game actually, at first I really wanted it and I still sorta do, and I probably will get, but not immeadietly, the few reviews it has gotten seem to state that the game has lots of problems, so I'll wait for more reviews and put it under the "Buy if you can get it for a good price" column.

the game got a pretty good score from famitsu, which, by the way, says everything they claim to be bad is actually good. so they say the story's good, the gameplay's good, etc.

Yeah, Famitsu is the only gaming publication whose scores I actually consider taking seriously.

I wouldn't say FFXII deserved a 40/40 but a 39/40 instead. As for crystal bearers I'm open enough to play it.

I've always been a fan of Famitsu. They just gave Bayonetta a perfect score (kinda makes you wish we got multiplats) and I've had a chance to play that game and it was awesome! I'd trust them with what they say aboutCC :)

GameInformer I wouldn't trust so much review wise. I peronally like that magazine for the articles/preiviews and just the overall format and layout is the best of any game magazine imo. But their reviews tend to be super critical and exagerated ime.

Honestly, I'm not expecting a good game. I'm expecting a flop.
