CarbonCore Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 BTW, does anyone know if this game is region free? Thinking of getting it off PA. If not, will ask my cousin to get it from the UK. Its not region free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Watched the gametrailers review video. The game seems to be perfect except for the awful texture pop-ins and frame rate issues. Just watch the video, the pop-ins does look real bad. Someone who buys the game can say if this can be solved/reduced by X360 hdd installation ? The game looks awesome though. Gfx is mind blowing !

MarketTantrik Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 The game is supposedly very good even though there are some major issues with frame-rate and texture pop-in. The guys at Ars Technica (i know, i know) have stated that the game's battle system is wonderful and gets better the more time you put into it. Same with the game overall, but its all pretty much spoilt by the terrible performance and some painful grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Gameplayer.co.au has given a very contrasting review of Last Remnant Score - 8/10 Pros: The Critical Triggers Strategic elements are brilliant Some really epic confrontations Cons: Loading times Frame-rate in large scale battles Some of these encounters are downright ridiculous, in a good way. You’re looking at nearly an hour to take down a fierce dragon – which is a battle you will face around 10-15 hours into the experience - and that’s just a single combat instance! We had twenty warriors going hell for leather and we still didn’t take him out first time around. The funny thing was, sure, we were frustrated at the loss, but we were chomping at the bit to get back into the fray and rethink our strategy. Should we have held back longer and set the field? Healed more? Gone for an all out blitzkrieg instead? The possibilities to restructure your tactics and opt for another tack are all at your disposal and surprisingly deep. There’s so much we dug about this game. The more you use a weapon or art, the more damage it deals and the more proficient you get with it, so you’ll gain stronger attacks or more powerful spells… practice makes perfect after all. Also, the more units you take on and take out consecutively, the greater the loot and rewards. There are rare beasties, like Imps, that are nearly impossible to figure out. Sometimes they go down in seconds, other times, they call in the cavalry again and again until you’re up against 20 or 30 of them. But one of our favourite little touches by far was watching our crew pilfer items won at the end of each skirmish. Now before you crack it at them, they don’t just do it for the heck of it. They’ll use specific items to create more powerful weapons or bolster their current equipment, so as you develop, so do they! We can’t deny it, we’ve succumbed to The Last Remnant’s charms. The gameplay is refreshing and addictive, the strategic elements have you constantly assessing the situation and working the angles, and it has a decidedly non-Japanese, JRPG feel to it. Slick, fun, intelligent and rewarding, let’s hope this is the direction turn based affairs take in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm seriously tempted. What would nail my decision is a confirmation that the hard disk install eliminates the gfx glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 IGN review Closing Comments The Last Remnant is a technical mess, but it's also behind the curve in so many ways. While games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect use voiceovers for every conversation, The Last Remnant doesn't even voice every main story sequence. While games like Eternal Sonata offer immaculately detailed environments, The Last Remnant often tosses you into cookie-cutter battles in repetitive bland caves or barren fields. And while games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey deliver towns to explore and secrets to find, The Last Remnant skimps and gives only a few points worth visiting in each small town. I can't think of one aspect of The Last Remnant that is even on par with other recent titles, let alone leading the charge. It's not saved by a fantastic story or exciting gameplay either, which proves that just because it's a Square Enix RPG on Xbox 360, it doesn't mean it's a good thing. 5.0 Presentation Unfriendly and disjointed, anybody new to the RPG genre will find themselves quickly confused. 5.5 Graphics Some of the backgrounds look awesome. And sometimes the game moves like a slideshow. 6.5 Sound A mixed bag of nice orchestral music and sorely limited voice acting. 5.0 Gameplay Confusing game progression and limited role-playing. The union system has promise but isn't fully fleshed out. 5.5 Lasting Appeal There is a lot of gameplay here. Most people won't make it through all of it. 5.3 Mediocre OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithuvien Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Boooyaaaa... WRATH OF THE RPG-GODS. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Let this be a lesson to any foolish developer who dares to make JRPGs for the 360. MUHAHAHAHAAH Hello Valkyria and White Knight (and Disgaea 3), Goodbye Lost Odessy and Last Remnant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
