Latest Game Informer Gives Ni no Kuni a Mere 7 out of 10....Thoughts???

Well i was contemplating on buyinig it, but if this rating is an indication of scores to come i'll steer clear for now, i need at least a 7.5 score if i'm going to consider buying a game, and even with that kind of score i wouldn't pay over $60 for it, i would wait until it comes down to $30 or $20.

What do you guy's think?

So you are going to ignore every other score which is above 7 and focus on this one? lol

I played the demo and fell in love. That Forest Guardian monster thing beat my @55 the first time, haha. But yeah, I played the demo over and over again. Awesome graphics, music! Got excited when I saw all the empty spaces in the item/weapon section. I can't wait.

Did you read the review? It seems kinda shady on the actual explanation of giving the game a 7.

What do I think....I think the game is getting rave reviews and is obviously a great JRPG,but you have focused on one score that is on the lower side.Very odd TC.

Ni No Kuni....:lol:

Should get Lost Odyssey instead. Who would buy anime garbage?

Where the hell have you been TC? This game has been getting rave review scores pretty much everywhere except game informer. Who obviously suck. All they did was **** about the game difficulty. Damn this topic is fail.

I'll just rent it.

I usually steer clear of anime games because they're full of cliche storylines, annoying voice overs, childish dialogue and obscure paedophilia but this game looks unique and doesn't really look like anime.

Oh, you're one of those. NevermindChutebox

Yep the Xbox 360 master race. It is known that the 360 is better than the POS3. All they have are interactive movies like Uncharted or actual movies like MGS4.

I think you're tolling. That's what I think....

You shouldnt put too much faith in reviews ....especially a bunch of corporate shills for Gamestop.

Also,keep in mind the game is getting good reception everywhere else.

1. Amazing artbook/journal in special edition, that alone is a reason to have that game for me

2. Raise and train familiars

3. Amazing 2D cut scenes and art

4. great in game art, amazing overworld

5. Adventure aspect which seems to be greater than most JRPGs, spells tied to the story and specific quests (always love that, when spells / abilities are not JUST for combat, but play a role in the story and progression)

6. Great extend to back story, quests tied to the journal information etc

.

Generally seems top stuff, got the special edition of course, 120$

It has points that few RPGs have, the adventure and journal aspect are rather rare in RPGs, especially to the 350 pages extend :)

Lota reviews out there. They don't all have to have the same opinion.

Does anyone else find it absolutely hilarious that a game starring a young boy is wooping practically every reviewers ass?

props to GT for mentioning that it's a challenge, but not without merit.

I was thinking of getting it, I'm just scared that the combat will be repetitive. Honestly, the demo was a cakewalk.

"A mere 7 out of 10."

No wonder we have so many problems with score inflation in this medium.
