Somewhat, they gave CM only 3 fires for anticpation ;-; On note, I think GI gave it around 8 or 7.9 too.Suikoguy said:wait, you care what GMR thinks?
why wouldn't you? please, tell me what's wrong with the GMR review (i wrote it.)Suikoguy said:wait, you care what GMR thinks?
i should mention -- i didn't actually read what IGN said, but the VA features a lot of xenosaga actors and is roughly on par with it. if you liked xenosaga's VA OK, you'll be satisfied with SO3. personally i thought SO3 was B+ ish on the voice acting. then again, i can't tell what people think is good/bad with voice acting.NotMSRP said:Is Squenix giving us a shiny slipcase as compensation for a low budget VAing?

Sadly, that's the attitude of a lot of people.
The hideously awful accents in Sudeki are like the high point of the game's voicework. What's even worse is when they fail to actually match up the voice to the character design, and you have little kids speaking in deep adult voices or white people with exaggerated black accents.belgurdo said:As long as the voicing is better than Sudeki and its "have everyone say stuff in different dialects and pretend they all sound natural" approach, then it's all good

It is a little weird.IJoel said:Every game argument turns into a Sudeki bash. Hilarious.
IJoel said:Hahaha... I love this.
Every game argument turns into a Sudeki bash. Hilarious.
IJoel said:On that thought I hope SO3's voice work is much better than ToS.
belgurdo said:That wasn't my intention, but the voices in Sudeki kinda irked me, especially since it was from a UK studio. Symphonia's was rough in spots too, but not as much as Sudeki, imo
Didn't the last Sudeki thread turn into a ToS thread?IJoel said:I just find it hilarious that every RPG argument turns into a Sudeki bash.

the invention system is shit.Soul4ger said:Which means Item Creation! Yahoo! ::dies a little more::

if this game's story were less interesting and well-presented, it would be a 6. it's really what holds the whole thing together. the dungeons are really long and not terribly interesting, the battles have tons of problems, and there are no other secondary gameplay systems worth mentioning besides the inventions.
meh. hope tri-ace's next game is valkrie profile 2.
Not that I care about IGN reviews, it seems their review is in direct conflict with your review when dealing with the battle system. "Arguably the best battle system in an RPG that we've ever seen, Star Ocean also boasts some awesome customization options and plenty of tactical formalities."ferricide said:the game's battle system has big problems.

certainly. now that it's on the web i may freely talk. i've been biting my lip for like a month during all those threads where people were like "should i buy TOS or wait for SO3?"Korranator said:Care to elaborate on the big problems for those of us like myself who are on the fence on this one?
didn't you get banned for being a little bitch in a previous RPG thread?Neutron Night said:Your taste in RPGs clearly is of no use to me.
and i gave both of them three stars back at gamespy. just sayin'...Operations said:Jeremy Dunham gets excited too easily. He gave FFX-2 a 9.5 and Castlevania:LOI a 9.0. Both grossly overrated IMHO. Hopefully this isn't the case with Star Ocean.

efralope said:wtf, LOI a 9.0?
why is it that igncube.com is very hard on their reviews (except that one SFA) and glady take out frustrations toward Nintendo in their reviews, but the others (especially ignxbox.com), review games with the perspective of being a fan of the system, etc... If Matt or whoever happen to like Nintendo more and be biased does it matter, wouldn't higher scores than usual be ok (since the other ign sites are doing it), but sometimes igncube.com scores are lower than average...

Neutron Night said:That's funny, because the IGN reviewer seemed to think that SO3 had the best battle system of any PS2 RPG. Which means one of you is talking out of their ass. And frankly, I'm inclined to believe it's you.
Your taste in RPGs clearly is of no use to me.
Don't forget about Mario Kart's low marks, and I think DOA:VB got high marksAniHawk said:I've noticed this too.
Luigi's Mansion: 7
Super Monkey Ball: 8.3
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: 6.9 (6.8?)
Blinx: 8.8
WWE RAW: 9.1
WWE RAW 2: 9.1
Seems like they've toned it down a bit since then though. Sudeki got a 7.8.
On the other hand... IGN PS2 seems to be more around the middle.
IGN Pocket's definitely the easiest on its games though. 18 of them have received 10.0 (I think it was 18).
efralope said:In all likelihood, those GBA games probably deserve it...
You don't understand. Every 10 was for a GBC game. When there were no decimal points.SolidSnakex said:Except not. If you're going to attack one site for overrating games, don't try to defend another site for doing the samething because they're reviewing a platform that you like more.
