White Knight Chronicles Famitsu 29/40

Coming from a source who love their JRPG's, this is a very dissapointing score. Why can't I play some decent RPG on the PS3 :(

Oh dear, that's not good news.

Looks like WKC could be a flop.

Damn.

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"][QUOTE="carlisledavid79"] Yeah expect it not to sell all that much on release in Japan as well.Giancar

Wtf?? :lol: Come on man, we all know PS3 games don't sell. I do have to admire the extreme optimism of PlayStation fans. :)

[QUOTE="Giancar"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] The way I see it, it'll be lucky to sell 100,000 in the first week of release in Japan. That's way below expectations.Floppy_Jim

Wtf?? :lol: Come on man, we all know PS3 games don't sell. I do have to admire the extreme optimism of PlayStation fans. :)

Yeah, old school turn-based RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. WKC isn't like that.

am i missing something here? 1. TC doesn't have a ps3.

2. He has not played the game.

3. Honestly? now we r going by famitsu scores? cough mass effect.

Plz ppl...if u guys r gonna bash...do it right

The game for me is very mediocre looking visually, very generic in level design and art and extremely boring/repeatitve from all the noumerous videos and direct feed videos i have seen

It is also one of the worst scoring JRPGs in Japan, by both Famitsu and users, which just makes me even more sad, since it was one of my main PS3 RPG's back when it was revealed with the fake video, now i will probably rent it, or skip it altogether

I think you're being way too trust worthy to one review source when in fact reviews are meant as guidelines for players to see which game is good, hence the reason why I used "guidelines", in other words "wait for more reviews before stating trivial self-proclaimed comments about how the game sucks". In that regard your reason for buying a product is mostly fictious. Also, the way you praise famitsu is really weird, because famitsu isn't always on the mark with reviews.

User reviews are very mediocre too, and i have seen direct feed gameplay which seemed like one of the most boring and generic RPG's i have seen this generation, the visuals were mediocre too, so it all adds up, it is not just Famitsu score, it is just that i had a hope there were some qualities in the game not shown in those videos i have seen, which sadly after those scores does not seem to be the case

In fact it seems worst than i though, epsecially a few years back

Oh reaally... I guess your expectations are just too high, either that or you're trying to spin around what a game is. Regardless the game is pretty good compared to other rpgs. It has ups and downs, but overall the game served it's purpose as entertainment for me.
Graphics are decent and they really aren't the main focus of the game, so I don't see any reason for you to bash it's graphics. Immersion is there, and the story that you are exposed is pretty Level 5 standard, so no real problems there.
In my opinion, you are hiding behind a barrier of lies(More specific, you're not honest when you stated your opinion). I can give many examples why you're not honest, but frankly- I don't see the point in lecturing somebody over the internet. I will rest my case here, and I will say directly "I am afraid I will have to disagree with all your points, deeming them quite irrational".

For all your points I can raise the same amount, so it's just not worth the time. Such a thing is depressing when somebody who tries to pull down a games value, because of the user preferance.

"Play the game, then judge it", though I doubt it will change your opinion, since you don't do anything beside bash new games or sequels for a different console that you don't favor.

PS. All games can be downplayed if you're a fanboy, regardless of quality.

Didn't this game already sell a lot of copies? Just goes to show you scores don't matter.siLVURcross

It sold about 300,000 copies in Japan.

As for Famitsu, I am told that the Japanese do not take Famitsu seriously. It is not a gaming magazine known for its scores, but for exclusive information.

Technically it serves as both, so it's not a mistake to read famitsu reviews. Sometimes they do tend to go overboard.
The game sales are somewhat determined by bbs which is a forum for people who want to share their opinions without engaging in bashing contests(of course there those types of sites too, but they are regarded as notorious and disgusting by the majority). Also commercials and company fame is a big issue in these situations.

i called flop on this after the first trailer.

think i'll be proven right.

[QUOTE="ps3_owns_360Wii"]why are you late to the party:?PrimusGears

another flop for the PS3....

that sold incredibility well

wow thats lower than expected, FF XIII will be our saviornaruto7777

Frankly i was expecting a 35/40 at the very least by Famitsu, this score is unbelievable

It has been scored lower than all next gen JRPGs, even lower than Infinite undiscovery

There's nothing wrong with Level 5.

It's just like how they were last gen. The first dark cloud sucked, since they weren't able to figure out the hardware.

I'm sure level 5's next game will be amazing. I'm still looking forward to WKC, it will be decent at least.
