Except for Transformers. I don't even know where he gets this shit. I really liked Transformers actually, at least the MP side, but what does over-rated even mean in this context. That game got like a 75 on metacritic. It sold average. And nobody really talks about it or barely plays it online.

His lists are always humorously stupid because they tend to be a mix of whatever is popular or whatever his friends recommended to him that he didn't like. So that must make it "over-rated".

He is the worst.

Bioshock 2 was overrated?  I haven't heard anything about it since it released, I liked it okay.

Of the only three games I've played on that list, Mass Effect/Red Dead/Halo, all of his points are stupid.  He says Reach is just like ODST, that RDR had tone deaf writing, and he even complains about the streamlining of the RPG gameplay in Mass Effect as though it was a bad thing.

I can see his point about ME2 rpg elements. Apples and oranges.

The thing about RDR made no sense to me, though. RDR's gameplay is great and MOST of the writing is pretty good.

Now I don't dislike that game like most people. But it's certainly not one of the greatest of all time.

It looks like they're both brawlers.  Either that or girl is sword and guy is brawler.

Either way I'd be happy with another brawler lead.  Senel was wasted by being in a shitty battle system.  Playing the brawler class in narikiri dungeon x was soooo much fun.

i don't see why. it's not like vesperia did one million. ps3 can likely pull 100-200k for this. tales fans are pretty loyal in NA and most have multiple systems.

After looking at the trailer, I agree it doesn't look like symphonia.

That's true but Namco doesn't do a lot of stuff. Personally I thought that was a mistake. At the time, ps3 could have used another rpg. It was around the same time Demon's Souls came out and that took off. Vesperia ps3 could have made them 100-200k easy with solid marketing.

What did ToV 360 do?

What part?  The art style is very consistent with Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia and the battle system looks like their stuff.  The only difference is the main girl design is by Inomata who never works with them usually.

The staff is the Vesperia team minus the dialogue/story/cutscene director.  The story is all being done by Team Destiny that did Graces.  But the art, gameplay, battle, direction is all Team Symphonia.

Namco should just put subtitles and release it digitally.
Those games will never be million sellers in the West but there is some small hardcore niche group that likes them(ideal for microtransactions).
But of course they are too stupid to do that.

DD=no distribution,retail problems,no used sales

But noooo,look at this interview(found it on sega forums)

http://artonelico.isisview.org/viewtopic.php?p=376360&sid=a9ec1079da55a3cdcdc70287dae1f69c#p376360

Quote
J: Thank you. The first question regarding Tales is… Why didn’t you guys localize Tales of Vesperia for Playstation 3, and also try to localize Tales of Graces for Wii or even PS3 version?

S: It has to do with the money wise. Tales games are extremely tradition for Namco… but it’s just that voice overs, and translations, DLCs are just too much money. One or two lines by a voice actor can be really expensive. It could go from hundreds to thousands!

J: Well, have you thought about not dubbing the game, but just translate the game with subtitles?

S: There are many reasons of why we refuse to leave Japanese dubs in our game. One of them is really about encourage players to listen in English… but also there are players that don’t really read subtitles or even read game dialogues. So it’s quite a troublesome for us to localize the games in undubbed quality.
Quote
J: If this is the case, why not have NiS or XSEED or Atlus to work on the localizations?

S: That’s really a good question. I am sure people did suggest us to localize under them… but they need to know that localizing under their names also mean us spending money too regardless of them taking our titles. We’d be getting half the money while they get the other half…. And by any contract, the more sales the game makes, then it’d be the other company that will get more money than us. That’s how the system runs. If we let XSEED localize Vesperia for instance, and they sell like 250,000 copies… we’d be getting 30-40% of that. Sure, we’d still get money… but what’s the point if we are the ones to pay for the translation, voice overs, and BluRay supplies and so on…? XSEED are just localizing and they only pay for advertising and promoting. That’s all there is to it.

Quote
J: My next question is about Troy Baker. Did he actually get called in for Tales of Vesperia for Playstation 3? If you haven’t noticed, there was this female Tales fan who asked about Vesperia voice over during 2010 Sakuracon on April. Please tell the truth here, and I told you I’ll keep my promise with you anyways.

S: No, he did not. We had the projects up on the list, but it was never fully passed. I am pretty sure he didn’t really listen carefully to that fan when she asked him about the voiceovers. I can tell you this… if we are going to localize something, we will be announcing the game before we -call out- the voice actors.

Quote
J: So then are you ever planning of localizing Tales of Graces F or even Xillia or whatever the fans are calling?

S: I honestly would answer that question to them, but as of right now… no. They aren’t even in our priority lists.

For anyone who doesn't have a 360, PC, or just waited for the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2, there is some video and information about it:
[youtube=560,345]1g9F0rgVzuw[/youtube]

A 15-minute motion comic play at the beginning of the game to get you caught up with choices and plot points from ME1, and all the DLC is included with it.

The one nice thing that I hope gets patched into the PC version is that those hacking games are less frequent and made the planet scanning faster.  I want to replay ME2 on PC before ME3 comes out and those two things are the worst parts about it.
