WKC not living up to hype? :(

I mean a 7.0 isn't that bad of a score but when you actually read the content it sounds like he was pretty disappointed with it. :( I dunno maybe it'll get a bit more polish by the time it comes here but that just stinks.

"It is a decent JRPG with a fun online component, and a fine-looking seventh generation console video game. It makes no fatal mistakes, but possesses no great virtues. It is an average game made worse by the sense of tremendous opportunities squandered. Lower your expectations a few pegs and you have an enjoyable JRPG that, while it won't convert anyone to the genre, will still endear with its original gameplay elements and likable characters. Put your expectations back where they should be, and you will see that WKC does not hold a candle to any decent RPG of the last generation "

White Knights story looks very cliched just like star ocean 4. The gameplay looks completely dull. The animation is awful and the combat looks like it will be extremely repetivtive. I don't understand why people are excited for this game.redCloudJ7

Well, it is the lowest scoring next gen JRPG in Japan, and has some mediocre visuals, miles worst than Infinite Undiscovery from what i have seen

Also to make matters worst it has a very generic level design and feeling, like MMOs, which is exactly the reason i hate MMOs with a passion and games that look like one like FF12 and now WKC, everything looks same everywhere, that is the worst part for me, i like JRPGs exactly because you can see something new at every new screen, like in FF, LO etc games, WKC and FF12 are packed with a few environment themes that repeat themselves over and over and make it look like one of the most boring and repeatitive places to visit in a video game, exactly like MMOs

The gameplay seems very boring and slow as well, and i read that the monster variety is minimal, same as the environments variety

Also got 7/10 from RPGfan too, so the low scores continue in US too, the game is simply mediocre in every way as it seems, and i do not know what was hyped to be, but is not even a rent for me now and has totally failed in my eyes

Cows are just desperate for a JRPG, if it was multiplat nobody would care :PredCloudJ7

That about sums it all up

white knight looks average at best same with star ocean. Although 360 fans might not realise star ocean 3 was beyond average so they might be excited for Number 4, I learnt my mistake from buying into some of the beyond average last gen old hat piece of crap Jrpgs that have been coming out of japan so far this gen, lost odyssey was the only half decent onebigLLL

Star Ocean 4 has some of the most stunnign visuals and most diverse world to explore this generation, if WKC is a 7/10, SO4 is a 50/10 for me

SO3 was amazing, only the story failed, and SO2 is one of the best JRPGs of all time too, so SO4 is probably a 9,5-10/10 game

I'm considered a cow around here don't take it the wrong way:P

Yes it is made by Level 5 but you can't ignore the fact that the PS3 lacks JRPGs and that basically no multiplat gets recognition in system wars. It's just that I think that PS3 only owners that are RPG fans pay attention to this one because of lack of JRPGs more than rather because it's made by Level 5

Why don't we wait until the game is released outside Japan? Who knows, it may get good reviews. Is Level 5, after all. Let's wait a little.IronBass

RPG fan gave 7/10, that is outside Japan

Exacly an import review. From one site. Also didint 1up did a preview piece on this game a while going and wasint it really positive. I know your going to say "its teh preview of course its positive" but it also sounded the guy was putting a bit more personal thought in it and seemed like he really enjoyed it.

lo, you try so hard. relax dude. anyway, I'm still looking forward to it. and also, 7/10 is not a bad score. very few JRPGs this gen, if any, have scored way above that. Tales of Vesperia and Valkyria Chronicles remain the best this gen.MightyMuna

In Japan every next gen JRPG has scored far better than WKC and Demon Soul

WKC is a flop, officially.Floppy_Jim

Looking that way, It seems they are going for a MMO feel to it :( I was really hyped for it, the character creaton looked pretty cool, but from what I seen the battle system looks very weak. But I'll still try it out.

Lol, hype? Where?Menalque2

looks in every way inferior to Star OCean 4.

But since its a PS3 exclusive.........its GOTY, RPGOTY, and AAAE confirmed.........right? :lol:

From the quote it sounds pretty solid to me.

It is level 5 too. I can't wait. Although I want another Rogue Galaxy to be honest.
