Nippon Ichi’s Last Rebellion “Worst Game of 2010” Candidate

Visuals are ok ?? :} Lulz ,some people need eye surgery i think :] .

This looks horrible. Especially for a PS3 game. In fact, Eternal Sonata looks better than this and it was released about 2 years ago... actually Crisis Core looks better than this and it was released on the PSP.

It looks bad. Can't talk about gameplay/story/balancedness cause I never play the game but judging by what I can see 'character design & graphic' - it's horrid

LOL I didn't notice it was a PS3 game, I thought it was a PSP to be honest.
I was like hey not bad gfx for psp.

At first I thought it was a psp game, then when I started realizing that it was a PS3 game, I could see why this might get a "Worst game of 2010" "award."

People around 30 years ago played games that were composed of 256x240 pixels, with a couple of colors and 8bit sound. Back then it was a hit, and everyone loved it. Unless the human being eyes have evolved in the last 30 years, I think some people need to review their standards for graphics quality =). They are a bonus, not a necessity. GAMEs are about GAMEplay, if its not obvious enough.

you are sooooo 2000 late.

ur logic is bs.

its about having a complete package.

You can argue its not all about graphics but in this day and age you expect better of a ps3 title and shitting over the horrible graphics is something we're entitled to do as consumers.

So stick your 'its all about the gameplay' happy go merry attitude up your arse.

I think you overlooked this part:
"Players report poor acting, bad graphics, usability problems, bad map design, a substandard battle system and a lack of balance. Just about everything, in fact."

The bad graphics are only the tip of the iceberg.
The whole game seems to be a low budget project, but it was even pushed back 3 months and had a release price of about 75$. It's 60$ at Amazon now.

How about this? Buy a car with a $500,000 price tag, an excellent setup that can beat most of the cars on the road right now, but an ugly appearance that does not look like a car at all. Would you buy it?

@anon 20:18

My logic is bs? Have u checked how many comments are criticizing the graphics of the game? And how many even mentioned something about gameplay? Your "complete package" is something that is only achieved by big budget games. You can't expect everyone to be able to develop games in beatiful HD graphics on a tight budget, low number of employees and limited time. That being said, we have DQ and SMT on the Ds now.

@anon 20:41

I can't comment about the gameplay of something that I haven't played, and isn't 60 dollars the usual price for PS3 games?

Lame examples are lame.
About games, look at disgaea 3 graphics, it's snes level, but the game wasn't called worst game of the year and actually was very good, better than most of rpgs out there. So i'm pretty sure that this is called bad not because of gfx, but because of shitty gameplay

this game is from "nippon ichi", makers of disgaea series, phantom brave, etc.

disgaea was not known for it's intense graphics but for gameplay and replayability, but putting graphics aside, i can't believe that they went wrong in gameplay( assuming what was reported is true)

You can call Disgaea 3 better than most of the RPGs released all you want, but the sales numbers don't agree with you.

Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Lost Odyssey all sold at least twice as much as Disgaea 3. The only RPG Disgaea 3 managed to beat is Eternal Sonata by a slim margin of 20,000 odd copies. Did I miss any other JRPG? FF13 is excluded, of course, since it would be insulting to compare FF13 to Disgaea. /snicker

Since game quality is subjective anyway, it's more accurate to say at least twice as many gamers would rather buy most other RPGs out there than Disgaea 3.

>Since game quality is subjective anyway, it's more accurate to say at least twice as many gamers would rather buy most other RPGs out there than Disgaea 3.

Way to derail your own post.

Fact: Game popularity =/= Game quality
just cause its marketed better does not make it a better game

to anon @ 00:49, can i help you enjoy that /snicker?

Happy peanuts soar, over chocolate covered mountain tops, and waterfalls of caramel

prancing nougat in the meadow, sings a song of satisfaction, tooooo the woooorrld.

(the world)

*that's right

@21:48 "look at disgaea 3 graphics, it's snes level"

I didn't know the SNES could do textured polygonal maps and tons of sprites and effects at once with more than 265 colours without a crapload of flickering and lag.

Better marketing doesn't mean a game will sell better. Maybe Sony should blame its poor marketing for the failure known as PSP Go? No, I know, the Wii has been able to trash both Xbox360 and the PS3 in sales simply because Nintendo throws more money at marketing! Genius!

Fanboys will always make excuses how their chosen game is somehow better despite all indications that show nobody really cares about it.

Maybe Nippon Ichi should hire you people. "Hey guys! If only we throw more money at marketing, Disgaea 3 would sell twice as well! No, really!"

This game is now $40 preorder on Amazon, I don't see that price drop being a bad thing. If they put any thought into the plot, I'm okay with enjoying someone's world. Graphics mean nothing really. I went back and played Ark the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and was utterly blown away with how the story was assembled. Its creative depictions outshine 95% of the games out there, and its animations were atrocious, graphics were decent for PS2 standard, yet the music was quite nice. Then I replayed Chrono Trigger and Earthbound and nearly cried at how wonderful the atmosphere was... again.

All in all, the internet is full of spoiled little brats who lack any semblance of perspective anymore, and I say this being only in my mid-20s. If you can't afford the games and are bitter, then get a better job, or just admit that you don't have any imagination left. (inb4 'I shouldn't need imagination for $60 as proof of my uselessness to humanity')

So if sales numbers could your trying to tell me wii fit, the latest fifa and many liscenced movie games are far superior to any game I own.

Disgaea 3 not selling well is obvious when most people slagged off its graphics before it was out. The gameplay disgaea 3 has is the most solid out of the lot of jrpg's for the 360 and ps3.

That being said this new game does look crap.

If the N64 could've done graphics like that it might not have failed.

agreed. Simply because something doesnt look like real life does not mean it is automatically 'bad' graphics. Bad graphics are ones that look bad, not ones that dont look real

It wasn't bad when Capcom does Devil May Cry.

But then again, Capcom knows what they were doing, for the most part. These guys don't look like they do...

Since games with voice acting are dubbed per definition...you must be a rather retro guy :D

Faggot weeabo is a faggot.

Technically, it's not dubbed since it was originally English and never anything else. However, English voice acting for games is generally horrendous, they tend to over-act and sound completely unnatural. Just because it isn't a dub doesn't mean the voice over isn't an ear-sore.

Can we just have the game in jap audio with subs??? I'm too used to fansub to appreciate dubs anymore >"<

@05:18
It is dubbed because video game characters cannot speak and thus voice must added to the video.

More than a good voice acting, bayonetta and DMC style and setting were perfect for a english dub. For a rpg from nippon ichi software, I can hardly think of a way to make a english dub sound right. I also take japanese dub and english text as my favorite match.

All voice acting depends on the quality of actors hired, no matter the language. Video games aren't like film because the characters are 3d models, not people, that can be modified to look natural speaking any language the developer wants them to speak.

Unfortunately, not everyone hires a cast that can rival past greats in the arena of video game voice cast talent like the Legacy of Kain series for example.

The way you mentioned minori was very misleading, since I see their actions as only natural considering the situation with equality now, but I guess I interpreted in the worst way possible. I apologize for that. It's good to see you share the same opinion as mine. I hope the game isn't so bad and people are just exagerating. Considering all NIS games, it's hard to believe they would do something to be tagged as "worst of 2010".

Cool then. It's just February anyway, there are bound to be a lot of bad games yet to be released this year.
