Give the Last Remnant another chance

Since Xbox has released their new interface platform with the ability to install games onto harddrives, games like the Last Remnant that did have trouble running on the system, after installed on the Hard Drive recieved Signifigantly less to no framerate problems whatsoever, all load times are 3 times shorter and makes the game bearable. People need to know this, it is an amazing game with an amazing Plot with little fix's most have looked over due to lack of interest.

Each disc does need to be installed, so you do need at least a 20gb HD. Although they don't need to be installed at the same time, after the first disc is done you can delete and replace with disc 2

Definitely worth a look now that you can install it to the harddrive. The game has good gameplay, a solid story which is not overloaded with Jrpg cliches, and excellent art direction. Read the PC review and you can get an idea of what Last Remnant is like when installed on the HDD.

i have bought this recently and have a question about HD installation. I only have the 20GB drive so chances are I will only be able to install one disc (maybe 2).

How is the disc swapping in the game. Is it pretty much a fair chunk on disc 1 - then moves to disc 2. Or is there multiple swapping

The only reason I ask is that could I get away with installing disc 1, then when the game moves to disc 2 , remove disc 1 and then install disc 2 etc

I might try it when the price is drastically dropped (19.99 - 29.99). Looks interesting.

I installed the discs one at a time and never had to swap.

The Last Remnant isn't "amazing" in any way. It's an average RPG that isn't anything special.

I've been thinking about getting it, I'm just worried that all the people talking about how great it runs after being installed are exaggerating and the game will still run poorly.

It's true that the installation will make the game run a lot smoother. The slowdown isn't that bad at all.

The gameplay however is horribly broken and frustrating to no end, but it's still a decent game. It's an enjoyable game, but just one that angers you from time to time because it's so broken in places.

Does the install suddenly make the game interesting and the combat bareable?

Didn't think so.

I got sick of team members deciding what move to use when attacking, if they can "reassess"the situation in combat how come they never "reassessed" that they needed to do a physical attack when they were prohibited from using a mystical one?

I installed the game before playing it off the DVD and I had no problems with it at all. I have put 20 or so hours into playing off the harddrive, think the game is great. Last night, I played it on my second 360 reading off the DVD NOT the harddrive and I have to say that there really wasn't much of a problem. In fact, I was really surprised how smooth it ran and was thinking people were exaggerating the whole thing. The load times are definitiley longer but the dropping framerate problem I didn't notice and I was in medium sized battles (about 20 enemies, 2 unions).

It's too bad this game gets the reputation of being broken because it really isn't. If you install to the harddrive all technical issues are gone, play it from the DVD and technical issues are small, so small I don't even think they are worth mentioning.

If you like RPGs, this is a good one for the collection. It is long, the battles are fun, the side quests are cool (some can be annoying), and the story is decent. But, the achievements are somewhat hard so keep that in mind if you are an achievement junkie.

Framerate on what? Battles? Like I said, I was battling 20 enemies at a time last night and there weren't any problems. I am not saying it runs as smooth as if it were off the harddrive but it isn't so bad that it's unplayable.

yeah during battles during critical strikes and stuff, it would lagg up and throw off all the timing, it wasn't very fun

the game is awesome waitin for it was kinda worth it **** like not bein able to equip ur allies sucked and i only got to play it a few days. n now i read up somethin about the pc version and it makes me wanna break my 360 last remnant n get the pc version... unless do u guys kno if they have an update for last remnant on 360 to make it like the pc version or am i **** outta luck?
