Bravely Second FLOPS, 7/10 LOL3DS

@mmmwksil: An 80+ % isn't going to teach anyone a lesson. lol

@Legend002:
No, it won't. Sales numbers do. And the game hasn't sold so hot in its home country. I doubt the West will bring in enough sales to offset this, but I suppose I can always be proven wrong. Time will tell.

TC should go back to playing with tumbleweeds on his lolvita.

I have no interest game, but that's fine. There are a bunch of other games I need to get around to buying.

Handheld titles aren't usually big budget hence the amount of niche titles on them. Chances are it already sold enough to justify a trilogy.

Was there hype?

I was hyped, expected an 8 at least.

Ah well, got it 2 months back and I love it so I'm not too fussed.

Still a point higher than Quantum 6. Looks like everyone except for lems are getting good games right now.

Fair enough. Basically what I was saying with DS3 thread. I thought is was a sure 9/10. So 8/10 flopped to me.

Ah well, good thing scores don't influence our enjoyment of the games we're hyped for.

@naughtyottsel: No doubt. It's the footage that has me waiting on DS3 now. Its just more of the same. Great games of course, but I can wait.

I'm currently playing Project x Zone 2, I'm having an absolute blast yet the game got a 5 on GS.

Shallow as hell game but a damn entertaining one

@naughtyottsel: And that's all I ask. Games are entertainment.

Games going to be amazing. Get the collectors edition friday. I expected an 8 score, so 7 isn't that far off.

Only hate one thing about it, now I wanna buy so many other games just to try their retrospective franchises.

That's what Gamefly and Redbox are for: try new stuff before wasting $60 on the unknown.

Had no idea they were still making games for the 3ds. Last time i've heard of that thing we were in 2012

There was a hype for this?

@speedfreak48t5p: what games is your mom going to buy you?

At least the DS has games to flop

The game has this odd tone to it, it feels like a theatrical parody. Not sure if it's intentional, but it's all over the place with its plotting. But I quite like the goofy tone that the game has.

It plays better than the first game and goes a step further in adding a few more QoL features to an already well designed and polished system. it has far less production values and is definitely not as memorable as the first game. I havent finished it and it hasnt tapered off into the stupidity of the first games' latter half, but 7/10 feels just about right. That's very good and well above average for a JRPG.

Yep, those are the Gamers' standards.

Correction: 7 is good. 3DS continues to be good. More at 11.

Sakura Wars is Japanese only so that option is out the window.

@Blabadon: None, I buy my own games. Better luck next time champ.

Really? For what systems?

Not saying the score is bad, i'm just wondering why those are the only negatives to give a 7.

Look up the Disgaea 5 review, it's an 8 and it's negatives is "looks last gen" and "new features making old features null".

That makes sense then this review.

@TrappedInABox91: you need to stop crying

That's disappointing news about Bravely Second...

Still a good score, though with how great the first one is you would think they couldn't had stuffed this up........well it is Square-Enix.

And by "stuffed up" I mean they should had been able to improve it over the first.

@Blabadon: You need to get over the fact, that the Vita is beyond dead garbage that even Sony disowned.

@TrappedInABox91: Yikes man, that AAE get to you? You seem very angry on the internet over a piece of plastic. Please act like the 24 year old you presumably are.

Playing it right now, the writing doesn't seem worse than the first one, but the tone of the story has changed, which maybe doesn't gel well with everyone.

BD had too much drama for how uninspired the story was, imo.

The sequel is much more self-aware and playful, but not to over-the-top Disgaea level.

Having some legit chuckles from the story bits.

If you liked the first one, this is definitely no worse.

No game that allows triple wielding can be a flop.

A game has to be hyped first to flop.

And last time I checked 7 = good.

Oh wait. I forgot the score system now: <9 is shit, 9-10 is good

OP is sure fast.
