Ironman273 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Does that mean that it "shipped" exclusively for XBOX 360 (which would make sense if they're waiting for the PS3 launch) or that it will remain an XBOX 360 exclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerhkjp Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The screenshots look awesome. I wonder how it compares to Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'll wait for the Demo ;) Chances of demo are slim imo. This is completely different RPG to Oblivion, you can't compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnast Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm tempted to rent this, but I haven't gotten very far in Dead Rising, N3, nor Saints Row yet. I might try it after I rent and beat Lego Star Wars II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabroo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah this game looks really good, though still only just gotten into saints row and n3, feel a bit greedy having all three on the go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2006 Maybe it's just me but I can see a slight edge from the 360 screens. Maybe its the lighting or anti-aliasing but it's a bit better. Watched a review of the game yesterday from Gametrailers and they said there was quite a lot of big visual issues. I wasn't too impressed even before I seen the review either :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnast Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^ I think that quote was from the Assasin's Creed thread. The main reason I'm somewhat interested in this game is because I haven't played a JRPG in a looong time and this is the only one availble ATM. I'm in no rush to rent it, though, because it sounds very mediocre. Blue Dragon can't get here soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird :blink: But still, I've heard the visual are a bit generic etc etc. Agreed on Blue Dragon though, that looks promising :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I rented it yesterday. Umm...err.. is it just me, or is there a LOT of homosexual undertones (or is it overtones...?)? I mean...i'm not a homophobe, I just don't want to play a role playing game with weird sexual references. The graphics are pretty weak too. It looks like a hopped up PS2 game. The models and the clipping look really poor imo. The gameplay is alright, and is actually one of the reedeming aspects. The cut scenes get old kinda fast. There is voice acting for the first couple of lines and then everything goes mute because they didn't record everything. I can't figure out how I feel about this when it happens, because the voice acting is very bad :(. The ads and screenshots i've seen make the game look awesome. I'll play it some more, but don't like how it is starting off. -shad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't like the voice acting, you could've put the JP voices on and read the English subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't like the voice acting, you could've put the JP voices on and read the English subtitles hmm..yeah, i'll try that. From some of the things my character was saying I was getting a homosexual vibe as well. Not that there is anything wrong with that (heh.) but i don't want to play a game where I role-play such a character. So does that one guy go away, causs he is really annoying? They really found someone with an aweful lisp to do his voice over, "oh my god! Those pants are so totally cute on you Akarea!" Meh, any role playing adventure that starts in the settings of a High School can't be all that great if you ask me. I'll play it some more and give it a little more time.
