I guess Cosmic Star Heroine is coming out this summer. That's sci-fi.

Xenoblade Chronicles X had more sci-fi than it knew what to do with but still barely any space time

Space sucks anyway. It's just empty expanse where you freeze your rear end off to death. Spaceship battles are cool though if that's what you're asking for. Honestly all space travel is really used for is giving you different setpieces that might as well translate to desertland, snowland, volcanoland, big city, grassy fields, and so on... There's never any messing with different gravities or atmospheres.

It didn't tease you for 30-50-odd hours about the universe at-large being full of fancy sci-fi tech and culture that sounds far more interesting than being stuck on a planet whose culture is in the middle-ages.

Endorph posted:my favorite part of star ocean 5 is all the reviews that spend half their runtime on 'it says you'll go into space but you spend barely any time in space and it's just a repetitive fantasy rpg with like 6 towns and weird guns' that end with 'I hate to be so harsh, because I love the series' Maybe they only played SO4. Xenosaga is the only sci-fi RPG I know of and it of course still has tons of space magic. But it also has lots of tech that it goes to great pains to explain so it is science fiction and not science fantasy (boooooo) edit: Wait, I forgot about Mass Effect. Duh.

When Kimberly Wallace and Alexia "Fire Emblem is my sex life" Corriea give your rpg a 5, your game has to be legendary poo poo. Between the head Tri-Ace guy being utterly clueless at the modern world and also being responsible for Valkyrie Profile, we'll never see Hrist Profile because of incompetence.

I won't believe a word any review says about SO5 and find out myself tomorrow, just like I did when I got with the PS3 version of SO4 at release. which I actually played twice cause I liked the combat so much, so if nothing else that will let me enjoy the new one.

Endorph posted:she wrote a kh book? quote:For games critic and JRPG superfan Alexa Ray Corriea, no game in the series better exemplifies friendship than Kingdom Hearts II. Corriea's close reading of protagonist Sora's struggles and triumphs, his friendship with rival Riku, and his dark journey into oblivion illuminates how the unlikely universe of Kingdom Hearts authentically portrays human relationships better than any solo Final Fantasy or Disney game ever could. Just as Kingdom Hearts II is greater than the sum of its parts, Corriea's exploration of the game's themes and emotional depths reveals how much each of us is stronger for the people who surround us. Raxivace posted:Here's an example of something I wish more narrative analysis in gaming criticism was in the vein of. This article was written after Days came out but before BBS, so it's a bit outdated in some aspects, and while it's not the best bit of academic writing I've ever seen or anything it's still interesting IMO.

You get them all back around chapter 5, the game has seven chapters, you get noire, vert, and blanc by bringing their nation's shares up to 50% in chapter 5 or 6

So the further I get into Neptunia 2 the more I realize that the first game worked for me because it beat you in the face with a couple of jokes and left a lot of others subtle. Meanwhile, this game is just beating me in the face with "PIRATES BAD", which I realize, because I, too, follow this policy, so please shut up, game. It took the part where they began going "WHY WOULD YOU CHEAT AT GAMES" to make me realize this because this plot has thus far been a preroll "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR" morality ad with jiggle physics.
