@servb0ts Sony has nothing to do with Jet Set Radio, and in terms of creativeness, the game is extremely unique in a lot of ways. Very deserving of an HD makeover, and at a great price.
I played through Part 3 on 360, uninstalled, and hardly had any frame rate issues. A few audio sync hiccups here and there, but nothing to get bent over.
Glad to see a quality product come out of this, and while I do appreciate the quirky concept, I personally am to burned out on fighting games to really care. It would be great if Atlus would work on a REAL Persona or SMT game for the current consoles. All these rehashes on handhelds is getting ridiculous as well.
I think Borderlands 2 will give them a good boost. I really liked the art direction in Spec Ops, but the game was a little flat. Max 3 is the best action game I've played in the past 5 years. I've given 2K a lot of money and will continue to since there one of the few big name publishers who actually believe in diversity in most of their games.
Calling the realm they live in "Pandaria" takes me back to the anthro cartoons of the 80's where the Carebears lived in "Caralot", etc and so on. I don't play WoW, but this panda bear concept just seems really corny and pretty out of place. Again, "Pandaria". Lol.
I'd always be among the first to call out a dev for tooting their own pipe about their product, but in this case, Sunberg is warranted in my opinion, as JC2 was extremely content heavy out of the box. I've been playing it off and on since I bought it when it was first released, and I still haven't even mapped out all the settlements yet.
It's a fine game for what it is, but just as the reviewer says, there is a lot to be desired.
The gold system is completely ridiculous, and I can't help but think it was something they meant to fix but just forgot to before the final build was sent out. I like the daily and weekly quests that earn you valor points to buy super uber items, but again, as this review mentions, none of the monsters but up much of fight, so you can only get so excited about cool gear in practice. I purchased it since I the genre is one of my favorites, but I can see myself trading it in soon after my first playthrough.
@DragonRift I have to agree. I've liked Square's non FF games a lot more over the past decade or so, which the exception of the Tactics games. It always seems like they have something to prove with the FF games outside of the realm of interactive media. Too much cinematic hand holding, not enough game.
I've said this in conclusion to many conversations I've had about Square: Just open up a damn CG animation studio, and take a break from the games.
@leeko_link The Lord of The Rings films collectively are quite exceptional, but I've always been partial to Excalibur. Though the movie itself wasn't the best, Ridley Scott did an amazing job with the atmosphere and cinematography in Legend. He might be able to do something with Wow, but not being a fan of the game itself, I doubt I'd care either way.
