The Last Remnant

This review is full crap.What the hell?This game deserves a 7 to say the least.I would give it a 8.And some of u seem to be mumbling abt the controlling difficulties.but i played it and it didn't have any problems when it came to controls.it's a very good roll playing games.I found only to problems.which were basically negligible.First the game is kind of easy once u have leveled up some of ure characters to a certain level.But it takes a lot effort.second the sound tracks were so-so.However i loved the sound tracks that are given during the cutscenes.and the story line is not so bad either.i loved it.And i think any rpg freak would definitely love it.C'mon i felt and furious when i saw that the reviewer only gave it a 5

I'm not trying to compare anything, nor insult any other RPGs. My main point is that The Last Remnant is not exactly recognized to its fullest potential. May I inquire as to how far you have gotten into this game personally? Like I said, though, I'm not aiming to insult.

I just don't know who to trust anymore...
Lately I feel that with X-Play Adam and Morgan no longer even play the games, they are just figure heads. . and Gamesradar.... Lately many reviews that are just idiotic. I don't know anymore. .

Pretty fair review. The game's dreary as hell, and the graphics belong to a 10 yr old game.

this review kinda sucks but the game really doese deserve a 5

? there's nothing wrong with the controls anyway. they're fine.

How can the Xbox review be an 8 and the pc a 5? Other than the control difficulties which you had but two people have already said they didnt have that problem, plus how ever much u dont like the graphics they'll look better on any partially modern pc than on Xbox.

Im not saying uve messed up the review, im just saying gamesradar need to work out a proper system. I recon what u've done is what id do, give something distinctly avarage 5/10, but other people see 5/10 as bas and would give an avarage game 6 or 7/10... see where im coming from? Review wasnt long enough either... u cnt have played it that much.

Just for the record. Its not Gamesradar's review.
I am thinking of buying this tonight :)

This game actually made me drowsy on 360, I'm not surprised the PC version isn't much better

and yeah i can't believe that some u don't like the graphics.The graphic effects are the great the detail levelis gud.Anyone who deosn't like the graphics should visit an eye specialist.

I played the PC version demo through Steam and I thought it was pretty good. Granted that I was playing it with a 360 controller, I still really enjoyed it, and I look forward to finding a cheap copy somewhere on Amazon/Gamestop.

I really don't understand how the PC version could score so much lower than the 360 version. I wasn't using PC controls, but I wouldn't think they would be all that bad.

I would knock down points for the Union Creation/Modifying system being a little difficult, but by playing the demo, I'm restricted on a few things.

As far as the learning curve on the battle system, I was able to figure out everything pretty quickly, which is saying a lot for me, as I usually fail at understanding tactics in turn-based games.

The battle system does seem random, and it does seem like the enemies attack first, whether you had the initial advantage or not.

Granted there are a few confusing moments, the time I spent with the demo was enjoyable and I find it to be something I would want to finish on the 360.

Who the hell comes up with these, seriously?

what is this review talking about, the xbox controller works perfeclty and it's an awsome game with no faults, way better than the xbpx which got 8

Ok, ive tried the demo now nd in retrospect the reviewer seems to have a point. I tried rly hard to concerntrate on instructions, basically memorised everything as i went along, but still found the story, combat, characters, setting, slightly confusing. Plus i couldent seem to get the voice audio working, and the game froze about 20 mins in, and did it again the second time i tried but not in the same spot. So yea... kinda buggy and confusing, but i still dnt get the complaints on the graphics nd music front which ok, rnt amazing, but r decent, and this game may get better the more u play it.

"The reviewer sounds like a Brit; bitter for no reason, and with a low tolerance for anything outside of his little island."

As a Brit myself I resent that... how very, very dare u suggest your island is "little". :P ;)

Actually u made a mistake on the ADD, which is just attention deficit disorder, meaning that they're lazy and get distracted easily, which makes rpgs brilliant for us, cuz we can get distracted by all the pretty things and then check the quest log to remember what it was we were doing before the flower distracted us... and for that matter the game box cuz i cant remember what im playing nymore -_-
as u can tell by the slip into first person i am myself officialy ADD positive, so i should know.

Still, thanks for confirming that in RPG terms this game isnt actually bad or even badly avarage, cant wait to try the demo and see what its all about (well try and get a feel for it atleast).

Dude, ease up on the hater-aid... You have to take in account that there are a few people that like these type of games. I came from an old school of gaming before ADD and ADHD was invented. Playing RPGs for days with my special one handed controller so the hand was free to draw maps and take notes. "J"RPG should be more about following and engaging with the story rather than fumbling threw countless battles, hence the genre is to play the role of the main charter in the story. If you but a game solely for the battles and action, every game would then be a RPG. He mentioned very little about the story, characters, and ability to affect the story or not. While it seems that he forgot "basic JRPG" have molded the industry he leaches his livelihood from (Final Fantasy, Dragon Worrier, Phantasy Star). I'll take the crappiest story line from a JRPG over some of the best state side(or UK)... excluding FALLOUT of course. The reviewer sounds like a Brit; bitter for no reason, and with a low tolerance for anything outside of his little island. While this my not be the best Game of the genre, it's far from a 5. I'd only played the Demo, but given what I've seen it's at least a solid 7.5 maybe an 8. Good enough to shell out the $$ for the game. Still if you ever hunger for a true RPG not an action RPG you have to order it strait from JAPAN.

Well its only got a 66 on metacritic but most of the reviews seem to be put out that its too Japanese, and certainly not that the graphics and combat are poor, no mention of the music either in the short but admittedly slightly concerning list of faults.

Still, there is a demo and although i havent tried it yet I anticipate this game is probably a bit better than this review makes it seem, so I'll let you know what I think... just seems crazy that it goes from a 8 on x-box, to a 5 on pc, even though alot of people (elsewhere) have said that the pc version is far less buggy, and when u have a x-box control plugged in far, far better than the x-box version in terms of basic performance.

I put 25-30 hours into the game, as it was something I was reviewing for a local newspaper.

If you don't have a PC then you really shouldn't be commenting here. Thanks, Shan, buddy.

ShannanigansTM, I'm not even sure you have a PC. The Last Remnant falls far behind the best and most recent PC RPGs.

I am honestly appalled. I can tell that whoever wrote this review got basically nowhere. If they had, and maybe took a little time to get used to flow of the game, this review would have been 100 times more accurate.
First of all, the graphics are amazing. Wonderfully beautiful. If you have only gone into caves and such, you won't get the full experience. I remember cities, Remnants, people, routes, all took a little bit of breath away from me.
The combat is anything but dull. Once you have gotten some spells and arts, along with your own unique choice of characters to battle with, there is nothing boring about the fight system. It keeps you in tune by occasionally throwing Critical Triggers at you. Monsters and bosses can blow your mind with some of the attacks they throw at you. Strategizing, especially in a tight situation, can have you on the edge of your seat. Sure, some battles with lesser monsters are repetitive, but vital to strengthening your unions.
Also, the executions performed by unions are hardly confusing. "Deadlock", "Flank Attack", "Rear Assault", "Raidlock", "Interference" and "Interception" are extremely easy concepts to grasp if you pay attention and play a little longer than 10 minutes. My friend, who had been watching me play and hadn't even picked up the controller and played, EVER, understood most of these terms in less than an hour. He ended up helping me strategize throughout the entire game.
Cutscenes are skippable. But if being unskippable was, in any way, a bother? (Other than seeing it more than once before a boss battle and such.) Then no wonder you don't care for the game; the cutscenes are incredulous. Certain cutscenes can inspire strong emotiongs, such as courage or sadness or bliss. For example, the very ending left me speechless and I could never have fathomed a better finale.
Union creation ain't that difficult. Pick some people, how they're going to be set up, strategize their abilities a bit and you're done. You COULD sit there for hours doing calculations, but that is where YOU transform The Last Remnant into a boring science rather than an enjoyable experience.
However, I believe that what is possibly most off about this review is the music. I bought the entire soundtrack without a second thought. It is truly enchanting. Don't DARE call it "shit music" without careful consideration.
I think I have made my point.

x-play was never good
