Nintendo fanboy reviewers.
>>343038932
Star Ocean has always been a shit series and will always be a shit series.
I expected Star Ocean 5 to be average at best.
I'm still going to play the game because the main issues I see are technical related mainly. I don't expect them to be fixed entirely by patching but if it sucks I simply get a refund or sell it used.
>People saying it's fanboys or people with shit taste
Star Ocean 4 was shit
Is it really that much of a surprise that 5 is shit too?

So why is it that you guys can constantly shit on gaming "journalism" and yet you're willing to run to critic scores on metacritic to call out a game?
Either these guys' opinions aren't worth shit or they are. They can't be both, and you can't jump between the two sides when it suits you.

Im going to ignore the reviews for this one. Nier has a 6 score, played it recently, and it was a pretty good game. So yeah fuck that noise.

>>343040643
>the combat is great.
The combat is good, but it's too shallow for its own good, especially in comparison to SO3. I played the PS3 version with the jap VAs and it didn't really improve my experience in the least.
I wouldn't say SO4 is a bad game, disregarding the shit writing, the worst plot twist in history, the shit cutscenes and aesthetics and limited number of enviroments and complete waste of its setting, but it's still painfully mediocre and rather unpolished when you get down to it, and lacks the mechanical depth Tri-Ace is generally known for.
People hated it with passion back when it came out for a good reason, Anon. Most who bought the game certainly didn't enjoy it.
>>343040738
The only reason this is getting a shit score is that the reviewers are Nintendo fanboys, Sony always wins otherwise.
>people said this game would be better than persona, FFXV, or xenoblade
>>343040737
>>343040843
I'll take a picture of it if you really want me to m8
The gameplay is bad. The combat is the most commonly criticized thing about Nier. I like the game, but it's so fucking boring to play.
Dragons Dogma does the whole "crazy cool looking spells" thing right. Nier does not.
Nier has more repetitive combat than a musou

>>343041097Fiore
I've played a few hours and I'm not really impressed. The cutscenes, if I can call them that, are some of the most boring shit ever since it is just the group standing on the field talking. The pacing already also seems way too fast since they couldn't even bother to do a proper opening act with a dungeon or something and instead the game rushes you out of the starter village to head to the capital in the first 15 minutes.
I've played like 5 hours of FE# and that actually feels like a better game despite the shitstorm surrounding it.
>>343039823
except that fucking wrong nigger
the only complaints in japan aside from some bugs, that party members didnt feel like they were there long enough, and was that the main story was too short when fucking ~40 hours is perfect length for an rpg. theres still endless dungeons for bullshit and if you are a massive faggot the platinum takes some 800+ hours to get
>>343038932
That's what they get for basing it off a bad game like Star Ocean 3 instead of a good game like Star Ocean 2.
>>343041091
Neptunia games sell to their fanbase and are probably made on 1/10 of a budget SO5 was made on. It's all about context, anon.
>>343041146
Thanks, anon. Needed something to fap to before bed.

>>343041091
>Neptunia but somehow that shit keeps selling anyway.
As I said above, there are high test people who like shounen manga/jrps etc and people who like the faggotry aspect of the whole jap anime industry (the people Hideaki Anno hates)
>>343038932
I'm not surprised at all. TLH was garbage, and I've never played it, but didn't people hate the story of the one on PS2? Something about a plot twist involving you having been in a simulation the whole time, or something? I don't remember too clearly, but I seem to recall people bitching about something like that.
>>343040987
Nier's 68 score is pretty justified in my opinion, especially considering how that one weapon type ends up breaking the combat's challenge entirely. It had a really fucking good story, but the rest of the game was an absolute mess, even if it had good ideas and the right intentions.
This is coming from someone who adores the game and bought it at random for full price like three days after release, just because I had some money lying around. Best blind purchase of my life.
>>343039275
The same way you fuck up a Final Fantasy or a Dragon Quest.

>Nier's 68 score is pretty justified in my opinion,
total bullshit and I don't even like the game that much (see what I did there ?) . Nier will forever be a testament of how pleb tier reviewers are and they should absolutely be embarrassed about it.
Nier had excellent boss battles, it had pseudo 2D platforming, it had the puzzle temples, it had the labyrinth part, it had the mansion and the isometric basement, it had the "let's listen to the naptime stories" part. Sure they didn't have the money to polish and balance the battle but they made it up with everything else.
Nier blows reviewers the fuck out.
>>343038932
>>343041902
The best verson of Star Ocean will never be done. ;_;
>>343041968
Because general public is WAY too easily impressed by shiny things. Nier is a great genre enthusiast game and you shouldn't care what the mainstream thinks in the first place if the game appeals to you.
>>343041939
I'm the exact same way so I typically buy pretty much anything being localized even if I have the slightest interest in it.

>>343042289
Look man. Valkyrie Profile was "alright".
>>343041350
I think Nier has more good aspects than just its story, but I agree that the 68 probably isn't too far from a fair score. The things I think are good are:
Story, atmosphere (interesting areas, towns. Some areas are uninspired though) immersion/believability, Music (My personal favorit part of the game
Bad things:
Gameplay (Only passable, but interesting concept) Polish (The game feels rushed in some areas) Looks/graphics (The game has some interesting areas and though realized, could have been better.)
The last one is a clear console limitation. I do think though, that the reason a lot of people love Nier is not only because its a Taro game, but also because it tries so many new things. The game just offers a lot of things you can't get any other place. The type of story, the gameplay ideas, the amazing music. It all adds up to a very unique experience.
>>343041968
Why, because your subjective taste is proof of how a game cannot be criticized properly because you, in particular, enjoyed it?
Yes, the game had variety, but this is neither a new concept nor something particularly standout. I can't really look at Nier and say it's an excellent game, or anything above mediocre, at least mechanically. It has its moments and a lot of passion put into it, but visually the game is a mess, mechanically it's either too simple or straight up broken, and in the middle of all that it's also short as fuck and reuses a lot of content to extend its playtime.
I mean, it has a really good story, fantastic music and some really good ideas, but that's it. You really can't say Nier is, critically, a fantastic game. Just like other works from Taro.
Maybe instead of thinking about your tastes alone and acting like a hipster dipshit because other people didn't like what you did, you should try looking at those opinions you criticize instead and grow the fuck up, you self-centered autistic fuck.
>>343042557
>Maybe instead of thinking about your tastes alone and acting like a hipster dipshit because other people didn't like what you did, you should try looking at those opinions you criticize instead

I just found that whole post really stupid because if there's a game that deserves the score it has on meta, that's Nier.

Jarpigs in the ps2 era weren't nearly as good as PS1 jarpigs, but they were still damn good.
There's is no way any other star ocean is objectively better than that score anyways.
I like them but they're not good games at all.

Honestly the last Star Ocean was kinda' okay-ish if you're willing to squint a little.
But at no point was this a formula that threatened to set the world on fire.
This Star Ocean will be okay-ish too.
Did anyone ITT really expect to be looking back in 10 years and saying "Remember the day Star Ocean 5 came out? Man that was a fucking blast!"?
>>343043331
Because it obviously doesn't play itself enough for modern audience.
>>343043347
Star Fox Zero was called shit by primarily Nintendo fans, you idiot.
If you were old enough to play both the SNES and N64 versions, you would understand why.
>>343041758
I'm really trying to like this game
The Star Ocean franchise still carries the mantel of being one of my all time favorites. I won’t defend the melodrama or paper thin characters, whose stories and names often sound like something from a mad lib. However I have always loved the worlds, the combat, and the adventure into space every title has brought me. While Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness does rekindle some of that old series magic, it unfortunately feels like something that went unpolished in more than one area.
Star Ocean starts off by positioning the protagonist, Fidel, between two warring nations. This is par for the course given the history of the series, but then it throws a small child, Relia, into the mix. Relia has no idea who she is, how she got there, what her powers are, or why she’s being pursued by soldiers. Of course, it is now the task of Fidel and company to solve all of these mysteries surrounding Relia and protect her along the journey.
The story is enough to keep me engaged and curious, and that’s all I need a Star Ocean game to do. Fortunately, comically evil villains and their accompanying dialogue rambling about a small, magical girl is not all there is to the fifth installment.
It does offer that one moment that sort of cues us into its namesake, and for a while after that my enjoyment of the story picked up exponentially. It happens in all of them. There’s the protected civilization on an unknown planet, unaware of the massive technological empires that exist out in space. Then at some point, a catalyst is thrown in that forces the two to collide and the game shifts into the real heart of the story. The music, plot, and characters were remarkable for that brief moment of awe in Star Ocean 5, but it all levels out again into its usual pace.
>>343043420
Til the End of Time was the RPG of its generation though.
>>343043420
I didn't like SO4, but SO3 was great. I don't see why it gets so much flak.
And yeah, I could see people looking back to a release day like this for the same reason looked back to the day Dark Cloud was released. Just because it isn't well-known or well-advertised doesn't mean it doesn't have fans.
>>343043556
Star Ocean’s story may have been a little easier to enjoy if it didn’t demand I tread the same ground back and forth ten different times. Revisiting an area is fine, but Star Ocean has big, empty spaces that you will grow tired by the third time X nation needs your help or Y character needs this resources.
Integrity and Faithlessness tries too hard to follow the old parts of RPG formulas that are just unnecessary. Why force players to run across the same map, fighting the same enemies so many times? Give me a ship. Why not allow players to skip cutscenes and save when they please? On more than one occasion, I died after watching several cutscenes and in between save points. Watching any of these scenes more than once serves no purpose, other than to punish. It harkens back to days when we saved sporadically, and lost an hour of progress to one mistake. There’s no logic in this formula though, as this is an aspect of game design since improved upon.
Yet, even with all of its shortcomings, I did find plenty to love about the new Star Ocean in other areas. The battle system makes some of that backtracking much more bearable. Fights are now seamless, the HUD simply shifts into view when the party is within range of an enemy. There's also the addition of the Cathedral of Oblivion, a sort of mini dungeon that occasionally spawns out of nowhere on the map. It's a short challenge for those feeling up to pushing their party to the limits.
>>343043605
Nah though. It was alright. It was as alright as you'd expect this kind of RPG to be. Nothing more.
And it had one of the dumbest plot twists in any video game ever.
>>343042557
>Yes, the game had variety
>variety is a mere feature
you are straight up retarded. At no point did I mention MY tastes, I mention what the game DOES to offset it's small budget and it does it well. They know their battle system is mediocre and simple so they don't base the whole game around it. The "some really good ideas" are a big part of the fucking game you profound shilling dipshit.
"Subjective", "taste", "your". Great retort while my whole post is reduced to "variety".
>>343039275
See Star Ocean 4.
>>343043615
he skills and battle roles definitely satisfy my need to have something to collect and complete in a RPG. The return of the old grind routine, but in more directions than just vertical progression -- something Star Ocean also gets right. Roles that give direction to characters can be leveled up, but leveling those up occasionally unlocks others along the way. While that’s happening, there are skills and specialties to contend with. Skills can be improved upon for characters in battle, while specialties allow you to craft or harvest resources. Trying level them all isn’t easy, and in my time with the game I probably didn’t even see half of them. Managing all of these different attributes and testing them over and over in a game of trial and often derailed me between objectives, but it’s that sort of micromanaging that I enjoy.
Star Ocean’s excels again with its sights and sounds. While many of the environments did feel kind of empty, they were still gorgeous. Star Ocean isn’t very long, but in its short story it introduces you to a variety of scenic masterpieces that are worth stopping and taking in. Angling the camera around for a half hour in different locations became one of my favorite parts of the game.
Sound design in Star Ocean has always been excellent, so it’s no surprise that the soundtrack is enjoyable. I feel it’s at its best during space sequences, but the work as a whole will be one of my favorites of the year. My only complaint is that it suffered from the occasional glitch in scenes with voiced dialogue. More than once, I experienced character’s beginning to cut each other off when they spoke. It happened in a few cutscenes I had to repeat, but I couldn’t recreate the experience every time. Thankfully, I always play with subtitles so I made it through with minimal confusion.
>>343043689
Then of course, there’s the endgame that accompanies the series, which is always the biggest draw. I’ve only just scratched the surface at the time of writing it, so I can’t weigh it heavily, but there’s plenty there to explore and add to the value. When the battle system is the game’s best feature, anything expanding on that is all positive.
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness feels like a solid title that got trapped in old gimmicks. It’s beautiful, but empty. There’s nostalgia, but in the wrong places. I still enjoyed much of my time with it, and I’ll even revisit it soon for the bonus dungeons. So many little things hold Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness back, but there’s still something under the flawed surface that’s worth giving a shot.
>>343043615
The only part about this that truly annoys me is that you can't skip cutscenes.
That's fucking terrible, what were they thinking?

>>343043607
Of course not. It has fans. They wouldn't be making this game if they didn't think they could sell a few copies.
That being said, most people I talk to agree that Star Ocean has seen a lot better days as a series. The last one everyone can kinda' agree was good was Second Story, and when pressed can't really argue WHY it was good.
SO3 had one of the lamest plots in any video game ever, and 4 somehow managed to have the worst villain imaginable.
There is always plenty wrong with the Star Ocean games and 5 won't be different.
>>343040384
>They can't be both
Actually they can because it depends on WHO is reviewing what.
>>343041415
Can't go wrong with monhun
The videogame industry hates RPGs real games in general. It has been that way since 2005.
It's no surprise that a new Star Ocean wouldn't do too well. It's not called Final Fantasy and it has been off the map for a long time. So it doesn't get any goodwill by a lot of people who aren't familiar with it. 4 wasn't very good either so there's that, too.
It's a shame, but I hope it does well regardless. Because it's obviously a great game, even if not quite as great as SO3.
I for one have the CE preordered.
So, can sonyggers tell me do reviews matter or not? They seem to be ping ponging on the subject just like that.
>>343043870

No. The videogames industry hates RPGs because RPGs haven't been good since around 2005.

>>343043870
I didn't think the plot in 3 was that bad. Although 4 was hilarious in the worst way possible.
>>343044123
The dragon planet was GOAT. But that sequence lasted like, 5 minutes and was never mentioned or touched on again.
I swearFaizewas probably the dumbest villain ever. And no, the absolute last stage of that boss, where he just grew 17 wings, was not a good fight. His hitbox became huge and he did practically no damage at all.
The only good thing about 4 was when Edge blew up Earth. Seriously that could have been a real plot-twist, but instead they forget about it after about 10 minutes.
>>343044123
>>343044357

I don't remember anything about Nox Obscurus and there being dragons let alone it itself being a dragon.
>>343044753
I'm probably not explaining it right, but it's the landing on the final planet and it's all really cataclysmic and sci-fi'ish.

You can't play it without a walkthrough.

Faize and the alternate earth blowing up were miss used terribly. The story could have been so much better.
>>343044357
>villain
goddamn
>>343045124
When alt-Earth blew up I was in serious danger of almost caring about Edge as a character. Can you imagine the leaps of character development that could have come from that one sequence?
That one event right there could have shifted the entire tone of the game in a natural way. From the naive do-gooder hero who found himself in a no-win situation that pretty much caused the apocalypse for billions of people who literally didn't deserve it.
Instead it was literally forgotten and retconned 30 minutes later.
Fuck I'm still mad.
>>343038932
If journos say the game is bad, it's probably good.
Important question
Can I fuck Fiore?
>>343038932
Most Jrpgs are garbage, nothing surprising here.
>>343038932
So long as Todd Special comes back for a new doujin for that green witch, the game serves it's purpose.
>>343040881
>The combat is good, but it's too shallow for its own good, especially in comparison to SO3.

>>343038932
It is worth an update for the mojack propaganda.
>>343048206
The score might be lower, but the game is a million times better.
All the Sony ponies that were laughing it up over Mighty No. 9's score will suddenly pretend this Mighty No. 9-tier score doesn't matter.
>>343049019
>Milliion times better
No. Both games have similar problems if anything SO5 is what Zestiria is to Tales.
>>343040384
Let's be honest though, most of the time, they are right 50% of the time.
>JRPG is shit
And the sky is blue. How is this news?

It's time to call bullshit.
>5/10? Mediocre?
Maybe I should avoid this.
Ridiculously high scores for an unappealing game is usually a give-away that a game isn't as good as they claim.
>>343054057
Someone was mad enough to make this.
I think my penis is going to force me to buy this game anyways.
>>343054153
I agree with your reasoning, but not the conclusion you arrived at.
>>343054105
yeah, buyers remorse does make you quite mad.
>>343054105
It's just an appropriate counter for all the sonygger shilling, some going as far to claim the "return of the PS2".
I mean, I enjoyed some titles on there like the Infamous DLC and Estival Versus, but they weren't THE hot shit. Did you see how many threads hyped up DOAX3 even though in the end if was just save-scumming:the game, and a DLC jewfest.
>>343038932
I finished it, it's 5 hours of content padded to 20 hours through shitty game design and one of the worst combat systems I've ever experienced in an ARPG. The story is a mess as typical of the series but now they have horrendous mocap in the cutscenes.
>>343054453
>>343054598
Kill yourselves console war faggots
>>343040771
Star Ocean is literally a poor man's Tales, though. Remember how much shit Zestiria got? SO5 is even worse, but people will probably like it anyway because of how low standards are for SO.
>>343054728
I have a PS4 you nigger.
>>343054692
How soon do you get Fiore? Will I get to jack off for 20 hours?
>>343054813
Pretty early in, so yeah.
>>343053461
If by some stretch of the imagination you're actually serious, how do you not see "lolol do you sonyggers care about reviews or not?" as console war bullshit? Do you just act like this in general?
>>343054783
I'm sure man what with using those epic console war buzzwords like sonygger
Fuck off
Already pre-ordered it need something to play till deus-ex
And they have qt grills
>>343054057
>meta scores
I love how PCucks always backpedal from this argument whenever you show them Bloodborne, TLOU or Uncharted 4. Suddenly scores don't count :^)
>>343054598
Have you considered that was simply because
people might like DoAX games and their content? And how that has nothing to do with fucking Sony.
>>343054057
>>343054974
Reminder that they're celebrating Neptunia VII coming to PC and at the same time using it to shitpost in that image
>>343055018
Imagine what would happen after SO5 PC announce for PC. "It would be PC master race wins again, jap care about us we swear xDDD"
Got it yesterday. Only played an hour so far. My biggest complaint is the subtitles look like shit
>>343055137
It'll be regarded as a good game when it comes to PC like always
>>343054901
A shill who posts padded lists filled with dozens of "upcoming PS4 games" even if almost all of them will be shit, is someone who I will call a "sonygger". If you weren't blind you would've noticed how they've plagued and flooded this board for months. They deserved to be called out and mocked.
>>343055174
>It'll be regarded as a good game when it comes to PC like always
Probably this is what you have to keep telling yourself when live on empty desert. Even piss can taste good if you are starving to death.
>>343054057
Holy kek
Im glad i got an xbone instead. The last sony console worth a damn was the ps2. Microsoft and Nintendo has always been the path of enlightenment
>>343055273
>A shill who posts padded lists filled with dozens of "upcoming PS4 games"
How posting upcoming games for any platform is making you shill? Are you retarded?
> even if almost all of them will be shit
How do you know when you never even play any of them?
>>343044667
>>343055273
>my taste is objective
>i determine what is shit or isn't
I sure hope you've never played a game with a bad metacrtic rating and enjoyed it then anon
>>343055165
Isn't the one million party members at once during combat a huge cluster fuck that ends up taking away from your ability to control what happens during battles? This is my biggest fear concerning this game, because I never play a Star Ocean game expecting a great story or well written characters.
>>343041758
>edge maverick
Pretty sure I used that name for somebody I drew when I was like 10
>tfw you're not a sony loving faggot
This is truly what being master race is all about.
>>343054728
I have a PS4, I can tell the console is pretty bad, but to be honest, this whole generation is pretty bad.
>>343055410
>how is advertising how my console of choice is so great making me a shill? I'm only trying to make you buy it.
They were padding their lists with garbage like Order 1886 and the weeboo tripe in the image you originally responded to.
Strangely, you aren't responding to anyone trying to shit on pcfags despite your stated intention to tell consolewarriors to piss off.
>>343055475
I already said I enjoyed Estival Versus, however it is basically a shallow game and a glut of titles like it (most are worse) doesn't make the PS4 so great, at this point in time.
>>343055646
I have no allegiance to Sony I just love jap games no matter what the public reception of them are
>>343055676
I disagree but you're definitely entitled to your own opinion

Shut the fuck up stupid weeb
>>343055494
Nigga I said I only played an hour. I only have Fidel and Miki
>>343055681
Again, posting upcoming games for any system isn't advertaising just because it makes you mad. Same with posting something about release of new GPU. Why don't you complain about this? You need to grow up or going outside from time to time.

If desustorage isn't fucking itself at the moment I would give you entire lists of threads starting with some sonygger posting "WHY HAVEN'T YOU JOINED THE WINNING TEAM BROS." Gpu wars aren't even 1/10 the problem in terms of size and prevalence.
And using the word "sonygger" isn't inciting any consolewars because it makes you mad.
>>343039275
>How do you fuck up Star Ocean?
If the last 2-3 games are any indication, easily and consistently.
>>343040332

Oh nigger, you are so ill-informed.
>>343040643
Isn't SO4 the one where the plot twist is that their world is a fucking video game for children?
Fuck me I immediately stopped playing after that shit.
>>343039353
Lot of my favorite films are 20 to 10% ratings but I love them. Sometimes its just the way the cookie crumbles. Point is dont always judge a tootsie roll by its wrapper
>>343056117
>I would give you entire lists of threads starting with some sonygger posting "WHY HAVEN'T YOU JOINED THE WINNING TEAM BROS."
Ok, give me.
>Gpu wars aren't even 1/10 the problem in terms of size and prevalence.
And "why don't you join PC master race" and calling everyone else "peasants" is ok? You have some selected bias in your brain m8
>And using the word "sonygger" isn't inciting any consolewars
Yes, it is.
Seriously you came to this thread to baaaw how someone like other system in some other old thread? You are quite funny.
>>343038932
I want this to be good, please don't suck
Looking at the reviews, it seems that most of the complaints are consistent and sensible.
Is there a chance of this getting re-release like SO4?
>>343054779
I think you got that shit backwards
>>343056462
Most complains i see are everything is shit but the combat which is pretty par the course for a star ocean game
>>343056372
I just said Desustorage is down, are you not able to read? And no, I came into this thread to to correct some other faggot who was crying over a picture made of compiled metacritic scores. Are you literally not able to follow a conversation?
>>343056324
That was 3 and probably the only bad thing abohut it.
>>343056529
You're defending an image that was made to incite flamewars
You're a console warring faggot.
Fuck off
How did I Am Setsuna far it Japan? I really want old Square back. I mean now that we are starting to get back Dragon Quest I don't want them to take that away from me.

No I think I will stay. You're pretty funny in a sad way.
Why?
>>343056735
Not him but:
>calling retard for starting flamewars is "crying".
What's your next strong argument? Calling him mad? :^)
>>343056852
>gives one movie a shit score and gives another movie a good score
Kind of funny
>>343056873
As others have said, who cares what the metacritic scores are, as long as you have fun?
But no, this faggot's inferiority complex gets turned on, and he has to attack those "meaningless" metacritic scores as if they retroactively made his enjoyment disappear. I wouldn't even say anything if nobody reacted to that image. So yes, he is mad.
>starting flamewars
You do that by not responding to anything you consider "bait", you fucking newfag, guess what sonyggers didn't do?
>>343043179
SO4 wasn't bad either aside of 2-3 characters and english voice acting. Gameplay was really good as expected from Star Ocean.
>>343057160
>this faggot's inferiority complex gets turned on
Again, you are projecting things and use them as argument. Same with calling people being hyped for some games makes them shill.
> who cares what the metacritic scores are
Apparently you or owner of this image?
>>343057262
Wasn't a fan of the Blindside mechanic overall. Everything else was pretty in point combat-wise.
>>343039121
Maybe the game just fucking sucks idiot

>>343059430
>kino
You've misinterpreted the kino meme. It does not mean kino is BETTER than cinema or a flick. It is a categorical bracket that separates different movies and what they strive to achieve.
Flick is generally fun popcorn fare (see Die Hard, Ocean's series, Snatch); movie is more personal focused on adult issues (see historical dramas like Letters from Iwo Jima or courtroom dramas like Kramer v Kramer or Woody Allen movies); cinema denotes classical bombastic flair and wide, wide aspect ratios but is not reserved solely for older films and more reflects combination of classical cinematic techniques meanwhile pushing boundaries (see Lawrence of Arabia, golden age Hollywood, Kubrick, David Fincher); kino finally just refers to foreign arthouse slow-moving meandering pieces that emphasize exploration of philosophical themes (see: Godard, Herzog, Malick, Bergman, etc.)
>>343060401
He was right, Nier is kino.
all they had to do was make a good game and it wouldn't have been shit
