Flames Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Acording to Eurogamer the game isnt good White Knight Chronicles II it's a hybrid that fails to find its own identity in terms of its structure, and its convoluted battle system is poorly explained and, once mastered, reveals itself to be broad but ultimately shallow. Those improvements from the first game are overwhelmed by a more general sense of ennui; what were once interesting innovations lack the polish and endurance to inspire over the course of a sequel. A disappointment, then - for fans of a genre for whom disappointment is a familiar bedfellow. It got a 5 out of 10 I still want to try the game because reviews arent everything ( yh Yakuza 4 & IGN im looking at you) but damn JRPGs are in a bad situation, there are so few and of those few not many are master pieces like in the past generations of consoles Edit: forgot to put the link http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-03-white-knight-chronicles-ii-review?page=2 Edited June 3, 2011 by Flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEHHHHHH Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 According to my friends, this game is AWESOME. This review is just one person's opinion. It is a fact that many reviewers were put off by the first game and they were expecting significant changes in the second game. Were Level-5 to do that, many of their hardcore followers would have been seriously disappointed; and in a sense, I am glad they stayed true to their foundations built in the first game. Many of the complaints that "we" complained about have been addressed, specifically the slow moving action wheel. I couldn't have asked for anything more. See ya all b!tches online.

E10phoenix Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 don't listen to these reviewers, if you enjoyed the first, you will certainly enjoy the second. I for one am buying this in two days when its released over here, and i know ill enjoy the online aspect of the game, just like it did with the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi594 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 first one was rated poorly as well. I guess ppl are missing the point of the game. It's a sort of like a mmo. so you play it for the social experience as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jqtaxpayer Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) If it's any consolation, Famitsu gave it a 33/40 (82.5%). Dynames posted a link to this about 11 months ago, but here is the text from a June 30, 2010 1up article in which, rather than write a review of WKC2, they write a half-assed summary of Famitsu's review: http://www.1up.com/media?id=3827533&type=lg White Knight Chronicles 2 (8/9/8/8, 33 points): Level-5's latest online-compatible RPG may not have a release date outside of Japan yet, but the game's done and is receiving pretty decent reviews over there. As Famitsu's reviewers pointed out, this sequel doesn't rock the boat, but does improve upon the original game pretty drastically. "Weapon abilites are made much more clear, which enhances the strategic element of the game," one wrote. "You can take NPCs with you on quests and do knight transforms with avatars, which is nice. There are some annoying parts, like how you can't adjust your allies' tactics in much detail, but I'm glad to see controls on things like the map display and chat made a lot better." "There are some pretty dramatic improvements from the previous game, especially in the battle system," another added. "Even with all the new features and strategy, the battles proceed at a quick pace and are much easier to follow." A third reviewer didn't have much good to say about the story: "The two-part story has a ton of volume, but does have a very heavy fetch-quest feel to it. I wish there was some more variety to the quests you receive, too."

Shidasan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The strategic element this time around is alot better - If you don't defense, buff, debuff you WILL die. edit: on story bosses - Later GR-quests are able to wipe out your entire party in seconds even with ultimate gear.

Correct you are in that most of the issues that us loyal White Knight Chronicles followers wanted was addressed in this game. This is a fine piece work from Level-5 and once again the game truly shines in the online experience which most reviewers just make it seem like an afterthought. Oh what a shocker, not a single mention that your avatar can turn into their knight arc online. Maybe because they didn't spend enough time to actually progress to that point! Yet all of them b!tched about that in the first reviews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc138 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I definitely haven't gotten into the first game enough to judge, but it's very easy to say that JRPG's aren't what they used to be. They're actually pretty stale nowadays I'll finish the first before I get involved in this, but I'll keep it on my radar and see what it's about.

RaitoninguSigma Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 lol a bit late and you might already know but yes you can use the arc online at GR 16+. Yes the game shines online (most of the people running OGIT ...) I highly recommend to find friends who don't run OGIT all the time to get most of the fun ^^ I'm not that high but I hope that GR20+ will be more exciting.

Vuule Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Never actually listen to reviewers If I wouldn't have won this game, I probably never bought it. But I'm playing WKC1's story (from the WKC2 disc) right now and really enjoy it Can't wait to beat both SP's and play online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
