You linked us to a review of Tales of Vesperia.
I've only seen two reviews. 1up gave it a B. Thats good. IGN gave it a 7. Thats decent.
So hows it looking bad?

I'm starting to think Gamepro shouldn't be allowed to review JRPGs anymore. So far they are the lowest scorer for both ToV and IU...

I think perhaps A on GS.EVOLV3
They seem very harsh on RPGS, though. Blue Dragon was a perfectly enjoyable game, for example. It wasnt up there with Final Fantasy, but it was a solid 7-8.0 game. They slapped it with a six here, though, and complained about annoying kids as the main characters throughout the whole review.

None of that is really bad. Besides, they translated 1ups's B into a 75 %. I think of Bs as more of an 80%. Rebardless, Bs are good.
And they translated Gamepro's 3/5 into a 60 %. Gamepro's 3's pretty much cover any game in the 60-70% range.
The reviews arent bad.
And have all of those games received enough reviews to start making those scores official?Tales of Vesperia X360 80.1%

Disgaea 3 probably has more total playtime than the two of them combined.
Still, from what I've seen all three are pretty amazing.

By a very small margin.
In this case your better off with a 360. More decent to good rpgs. And ll the PS3 hasnt got this year is one good one.
The 360 wins this year.

Who said they are official, i'm just posting the current score they have.
The percentage mostly goes down with more reviews getting listed. Anyways, 70-85 % are good scores for a JRPG.

So 1 more game at the moment makes the 360 a better jrpg console.
I feel sad that Disgaea (probably) being the better of these three, won't even sell as much. :( Disgaea franchise deserves more sales!

Thought we where speaking of upcoming jrpgs.
Now for the big question on the next jRPG coming out this year: Will Valkyria Chronicles be an AAA quality game? Probably, with all the great previews but who knows. :D
But damn, I've been expecting IU to be better than ToV.. boy was I wrong.
It seems that the demo for ToV didn't do justice to the actual quality of the game. :)

Valkyria Chronicles is an SRPG. It's a lot different than your normal JRPG's.

I believe disgaea 3 is out now or should be coming out during this week. I just know it ain't out in Europe :( we fail here.

I believe WKS didn't get a spectacular preview at 1up. Anyways all previews for WKS should be taken lightly because they are 1 year old. Lets wait for more recent previews.
From what I've read, if I had to pick between Tales of Vesperia and Infinite Undiscovery I would go Tales of Vesperia without hesitation.
I'm playing through Tales of Vesperia right now and it is a great game. I am really enjoying it. It's very deep as far as crafting, combat, and story. The graphics are outstanding, it's a very beautiful game, a lot like Eternal Sonata. The combat is entertaining to the point that I find myself "grinding" on mobs probably a lot more then I need to.
I am still getting Infinite Undiscovery next week because I really enjoy good rpg's, and Infinite Undiscovery is no doubt a solid title.
With all these great games coming out it's a great time to be a gamer. I'm also picking up Viva Pinata 2 next week... man it's going to be a busy week lol.
It's my understanding both games use the same engine, which would explain the similarities.I'm playing through Tales of Vesperia right now and it is a great game. I am really enjoying it.

While I'll agree that your comment in general applies (and don't get me wrong, ToV is awesome) but Disgaea games are just so entertaining and long that I think I've clocked in 100+ hours each on the first two installments, and currently playing through the third (and it is awesome as always, nicely done NIS)

IU is above 70% on gamerankings. How is that bad? It's an A title. TOV however is an AA title. I think 'm personally going to get IU first. These cartoonish type JRPG's such as TOV just don't do it for me anymore.BumFluff122
It seems to be for the general population of this baord who don't play a game unless it gets an AAA rating. They don't seem to realise that the media controlls there preferences.

Gamepro has always been a crappy mag. I think they relaunched with a different ****but in the old days their review system was like Doom faces of people smiling and screaming and crying. They had a bunch of 80s comic ****characters as reviewers... it was just an all around lame magazine. Especially compared to the equally priced EGM.
