I'm glad to see it get recognition from GS. As much as everyone wants to deny it, GS scores still have alot of weight towards SW opinions.. unfortunately.

Anyways, this has been on my "will buy on release day" for a long time now. When's it hitting NA now? July 21st or something?

Espado: Despite GS saying it doesn't have a great story they do note that it brings up some very interesting issues(check out the last or 2nd last paragraph of the review.

Being a great game inspite of poor story = epic win.

Story at least helps, though not always required. For God's sake, stop downplaying story in gaming so damn much!

Geez people are focusing way too much on the score, who cares as long as you enjoy it? At least try the game and give your own opinion.

Some people hyped it AA, some people hyped it AAA. I saw more people hyping it AAA though.

What you just said, has nothing to do with my point. Story is most surely important, but it still got an 8.5. What does that say about the gameplay?

What? I said story can help, though in games like any Mario platformer it doesn't matter. I really don't think LKS really needs a good story to be entertaining though.

No! Get out while you still can!

Or else you'll be doomed to trying to defend your console for eternity, like me!

I do agree with your statement, though.

I never care about score, graphics, etc. Just as long as it is a fun game.

Being a great game in spite of poor story = epic win.

RPG that don't have story to suck you in is dumb.

From GS review

"This Little King's story is a little weak, however, and for the most part it plays out as a simple tale of world domination. Nevertheless, the beautiful and often surreal cut-scenes and set-pieces that punctuate the story make up for this in some fashion because they are often worth watching in their own right"

"In addition to featuring amusing characters, gorgeous visuals, and challenging boss fights, it also raises interesting points about religion, the nature of leadership, the rights of monarchy, and a whole host of other things"

Sounds like GS thinks it has some positive sides as well, having good characters and bringing up interesting points about certain topics.

Besides, it's not a regular Jrpg. It's a RTS/RPG hybrid of sorts.

EDIT: This flopped? I thought SW had it hyped at AA?

Its listed as a strategy game. It looks like it plays alot like the pikmin games, so story really shouldnt matter too much.

Yeah, seriously. That's a glaring omission.

i'm also suprised than the musical score wasn't listed in the pros.

Ok then it doesn't really need much of a story in that case. I thought it was a RPG just watching some screenshots and some light reading.
