RPG ratings game.

[Sushi_b]

We've played it before and it's kind of interesting to see people's responses to different games.

Basically one person posts an RPG title and someone has to rate that game with a short review. The review can just be one positive and one negative about that game. Pretty simple. Then you post a new game for another poster.

Grandia 9/10

Good: Battle system is great, fun characters, smooth music and an overall great experience.

Bad: Some characters come off really annoying (Guido), story drags on a little too long.

Just like that. So let's begin.


Final Fantasy X

[Blackdragon]

Never finished it, but I thought it was pretty decent. It allowed you to actually strategize by bringing out the best character for the job on the fly, and had an awesome side game, Blitzball. Some of the best character development I've seen in the series, and decent, although long cutscenes. I feel the skill grid could have been implemented better though. The music never really gained my attention, it was more like background noise to me.

The Good: Strategy comes into play more so than the other titles. Great side game available. Likable characters (Lulu <3 >_>).

The Bad: Uhhh...it's a random encounter rpg, ridiculously so at times. Trying to navigate the skill grid to get the skills you want for a character can be a pain in the ass if you can't get the right keys and items. The music didn't stand out (Like most of the FF7 track did.)

The Ugly: That one scene where Tidus and Yuna are laughing. Very...VERY...awkward gaming moment for me.

I'd give it an 8. I'm biased against random encounters, but I still want to finish that game. It's my favorite FF game after 8.

Tales of Symphonia (GC)

[Sibek]

The Good: The game is very long taking me nearly 80hrs on the first playthrough. The Battle System is good for those with ADD. No random encounters.

The Bad: A derivative story similar to that of Grandia II and Final Fantasy X, which would've been okay had those games not been released shortly before. Characterization of several of the characters (Lloyd, Genis, Colette) was standard fare. Relatively Easy. Features one of the most predictable plot twists in RPGs.

The Ugly: KRATOS IS LLOYD'S FATHER

Overall: 6/10

Next Up: Neverwinter Nights

[Blackdragon]

Haha, you ass. I don't think everyone has played it yet. And might due to the sequel coming up.

[Sushi_b]

Well I'm going to revive this thread with a new game, sorry Sibek, but I guess not many have played NWN.

Let's get on with..... Tales of Vesperia (360)

[Dick Fitzwell]

Because nobody has said anything about that, I'll go with Neverwinter Nights. First of all, I would like to point out that it's made by Bioware.
Bioware makes amazing games period and Neverwinter Nights is one of my favorite ones. The story is fun to play through. There are a ton of classes you can play through as. You can even make your own and even mix two classes together as you level up. You can play through this game a ton of times with each class, or even the same class multiple times. You have a multitude of different options to choose from as you play through so the content is almost endless for the main story.

In order to make the content ENDLESS, they have released a toolkit with Neverwinter Nights that is VERY easy to use for anybody which allows you to make maps, items, armor, weapons, magic spells and online play to play with up to 64 people on the same server.


I give it a 9 out of 10

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2

[Raidou]

SMT: DDS 1 & 2 rox. I was totally addicted and fell in love with the storyline, the characters (you will definitely love Heat, I assure you), the game system, the music (totally awesome!), and etc. The ending was pretty sad :-(

If you yet to play this RPG, play it now, what are you waiting for????????

I give it a 9.5/10.

p.s: 0.5 score was deducted due to the difficulty to get lots of Makkas to learn all the abilities.

SMT: Persona 3
