What a bitch fest! This game was great! The combat system was great, the story was good and the amount of characters was about right for an RPG. Not every game has to have Final Fantasy quality graphics to be enjoyble. I still know people who play Chrono Trigger on the SNES because of the story and characters, not the graphics.
2. Those of you get this game play past the first hour or two, it gets a lot better after the somewhat lackluster/aggravating opening. It's a fun, action-packed ride.
"This isn't like Final Fantasy 12 where you don't have to press any buttons." Obviously this reviewer only played an hour or two of it, FF12 is one of the best in the series.
loved this game! much better than fable 2! starts a little slow but is sooooo good once you learn all the little tricks to the game.. once you get to disc 2, all you'll be thinking about is this game! cmon infinite undiscovery 2!!
I loved this game for the RPGness, but all the downsides he mentioned are spot on. I didn't mind because like he says at the end, if you're one of those RPG ppl it's worth it.
I like when games lag in the heat of combat, it's like some slow-mo scene from 300. Overall it was worth it, but if you're a casual RPG fan, then get a cheap 2nd hand copy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "task managing" suppose to be one of the root elements of RPG games? I understand if it gets to complicated, but from what I've seen so far, I've seen far more complicated and time consuming "task management games" Then there's games that totally forgo "TM" and just be like here, you can change weapons and armor and magic/techniques, that's it don't worry about states or anything else we've done that for you already. So far I'm hearing move good reviews the bad
@S0ryiu Hell after watching this review I'm starting to think IGN needs to refrain from giving game reviews at all. I've purchased several games which IGN would be bad and they turned out great. Oh well.
He said save ur money for fable and fall out. A true rpg fan knows that those are not rpgs im tired of people with that bs. I played both of them they are not rpgs. If its not anime/swords its not a rpg. Its American crap. I am American who has played mmo's all my life. Infinite undiscovery is worth the but and when they were release the prices are far cheaper than BS games.like fable 3....beat that Shit in 4-5 hours.
I never got how he keeps saying its such a short game how is 20-30 hours short most games now a days are 10-15 hours long so how the heck is 20-30 hours short and all his complaints seemed nit picking he complains you can't block but then says you don't really need to cause your characters heal you and then he complains about how you have to equip everything to the characters for them even though you have to do that in almost all RPG's I think this is a great RPG don't listen to him pick it up
Biggest problem with the game is 18 characters, and you have to upkeep them, and equip them, and learn their magic? Oh no! What a joke of a point. I agree with everything else, but honestly, to boldly state that's the biggest problem... I can't say anymore.
Triace has always done great games. For example Chrono Cross and Radiata Stories wich if not were for the story universe, they could be called sequels. In these games there were also a lot of characters to join you and lets be real who in the freaking world would love to have only one or four standard characters, i mean thats part of Tri ace unique way of making games and for many people out there thats a great thing.
i'm just gonna say i LOVE this game. it's AMAZING. but i'm also not gonna get butt hurt and complain that this review should have said only good things. while this game is great, he's right about a lot of the stuff he said. although i wouldn't agree that it's bad, he's right about it being different and not as good as other RPGs. people need to quit getting pissed because he's doing his job.
they should bring back the the classic style of a TRUE and TRADITION turn-based Rpg like Legend of the Dragoon even tho it slightly required some interaction with the additions it provided a perfect balance of turn-based and interactive gameplay style
If the developers left out a block button it must have been for a reason. The game clearly favors nonstop action once a battle starts, which is where connect skills and combos come into play. Most rpgs lack a block button so I don't know why this guy expected one here.
@HatoburekaSutajio Final Fantasy 12 is NOT a real-time action RPG. It is the same as any other final fantasy, the only difference is that you can move around during combat and the combat isnt "instanced" - but its still turn based.
Dude, I've logged over 300 hours into FF12, I know what I'm talking about. Sure you CAN pause the game mid-battle to open up the traditional menu, but the Gambit system eschews that until the game naturally encourages you to change strategies/equipment/spells/etc...
I've walked into a boss room before, left my party to their own devices, and returned later to find that they'd killed it. You call that turn-based? Are you kidding? Have you ever even played the game?
@HatoburekaSutajio Idiot, you just prove my point, if you can walk into a boss room and leave your characters and they kill it, obviously its not real-time. if it was REAL TIME you would have to be there to manually do combat, thats what real-time is, its you manually controlling your character to fight. ALL final fantasy games are turn based, with the later ones in the series having "ATB" system introduced, which is just turn based fighting that will go on auto pilot based on ur chars stats.
Don't be so harsh, man. I've done nothing to invoke insults. Besides your argument isn't remotely convincing.
What we're talking about is battle progression. A turn-based game progresses in turns. When it becomes a characters turn, everything else pauses and awaits strategic input. In a real-time game, there are no pauses and back/forth combat doesn't occur in intervals.
Many ATB games like Chrono Trigger can be switched between these two.
Real-time and Turn-based are completely unrelated to Manual and Automatic, I've no idea how you're drawing that conclusion.
You might as well suggest that Diablo 2 is a turn-based game because you can summon a ton of skeletons and leave the room while they kill everything in sight.
Or that The Sims is a turn-based game because they usually act almost entirely independent of input.
@deeppurple28 omg dude ppl should just stfu already bout cod if u hate it so much then DNT FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT!!! omg dude ur such a fag whythe fuck do u think this reviewer is a cod fanboy? huh? HUH? give me a fucking reason bitch. just because he works for a company that gives cod good reviews? is that why? evry fucking reviewing company gives cod good reviews. and do u kno why??? because its a FUN game. thats y. bitch.
This game was a masterpiece, and the biggest reason why: Capell, the main character. I love his character development. In the beginning the group picks on him because he looks like the hero but really isn't. About halfway through he gets pissed that they keep comparing him to someone else so he turns dark and evil inside, which I don't see in RPG's alot. So Capell made this game a masterpiece. This game is one of Squares Best.
fucking morons... are his points are valid stop acting like fags just because he didn't give this game a 10/10. it's his job to list the good points and bad points.
once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947.then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message.the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him.if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and past
I bought this game for 12 buck it have 2 disc on it I'm gonna play it tonight right now i'm playing Little Big Planet. I really don't care what IGN said I buy a game that look good but if i don't like it I returned and swap it for another game simple and done.
absolutely fine video. however if you're giving a review you don't need to sound like you're moaning. you're not speaking to a freind in person you don't need to show the pain you went through playing it because we're not going to console you.
@SeleezSE props go to you buddy man you are awesome XD no joke your point is so good its funny oh and yeah team deathmatch all they do is split up relying on themselves so the name is pointless.
@simpsonman956 I Ive never played this game before but here it goes. My problem with this review is that it focuses on the negatives which, while ok in a review aimed at the maker, it isnt ok if its aimed at the public which this is. Ok yeah if the thing is bad then yeah spending ages on the flaws isn't bad. Ive never played this game so maybe it is rubbish. But IGN gave the game 7.1 Thats more good then bad yet the review just mentions the good and doesn't explain any but the lack of elements.
This, last remnant and star ocean were nice stop gaps for square before FFXIII came out. I think they field tested alot of new and different elements with those games in order to help improve XIII
I liked this game...but I couldn't finish it because i got seriously lost near the begining of the game and i mean LOST(traped in a dungon and screwed). >_>
20-30 hours is short? but 10 hours for uncharted 2 and other action games of that nature is long? double standard. by the way i played this game and i thought it sucked. and i love uncharted 2.
this game was so-so. it felt like they were rushed in making the game and just said screw it at some parts. and it's not like cappel is the only look-alike either. if you look around there are only like 10 actual NPC in the whole game and they just changed the color of their clothes, it doesn't destroy the game but it just looks lazy. This game looks like it was made on an xbox version of RPG Maker 3.
Most of the criticism brought up is valid but I remember playing this game and having a lot of fun with it and doing nearly all the side quests. I hope they make a IU2. Won't happen though.
Why is it your always a guy character? It's so fucking annoying, I wanna be a girl!
And no, not Lighting because I don't like ff13 much. More female protagonist please!
I don't wanna fight as a guy Star Ocean 3 looks so much better, yeah your Edge, but in battle you can be anyone. The girl looks awesome [who looks like Reimei a little] and you can't be here because your gaylord gay man over there. I hate that! >.<
@DrawingsOfNamine In the games of games you can switch who you're playing as, and in the newest one (coming out in Japan) you actually pick if you're the Male or Female character from the very start. I guess you can say it's like what they did with Star Ocean 2.
I thought it was a pretty good story. However, during the first half of it I'd say, Cappell was definitely the biggest pussy I've ever seen. No sense of dignity or self respect, whining most of the time, took every insult directed at him like a bitch, and creating social awkwardness. It's like Tri-ace WANTED him to be an annoying and pathetic character at the start.
i can find few faults with this and the combat system...AWESOME!! and if you want to get everything then the game takes over 100hours easily to finish
I absolutely loved this game! Sure the combat takes a while to get used to and personally with the not able to pause when the menu is opened i'm not looking forward to in the Seraphic Gate but thats only for one battle. I wanna say you cant say so many things u think is wrong with the game then turn around and say you liked them also. I liked that you got so many characters it made it more fun! Sure secondary characters i was dissapointed could only join the second or third party but it was fun.
This reviewer makes me think he hates his job, or he was over work for the day and rushed through this in a half-assed way so he could go home. That, and he clearly dislikes jrpg's... you can hear the disdain thick in his voice.
In addition, I largely disagree with the statement about this game's "wow" factor. There are plenty of good cutscenes found throughout the game, try beating it for instance.
On a side note, it kind of annoys me that this critic treats the game like a shit stain on rpgs when he suggested waiting for Fable 2. Bad call on that one.
I could point out so many faults with this review but I'm not going to since just about every other comment probably already pointed them out, but I can't let a few things slide.
First, twenty hours is for people who burst through the game and try to beat it as quickly as possible, I'm at thirty hours and I just beat the game. I plan on doing it two more times so that's about a minimum of sixty hours not including me being a completionist.
Game looks great, except for the lags. Oh and having to buy equipment for all your characters and having no 'auto-equip' is no problem at all. People who don't play games of these reasons are stupid. Not playing Suikoden 2 because you have to equip, level, refine and know the magic of 108 or so characters is blasphemy! It's not like you have to do that, but that you have possibility and that's awesome!
To say that this game is from Square Enix with those types of graphix is a shame truly! bad just horrible but at least they made the dam game so thats enough said lol
I'm sorry but this guy and all the people that hate this game are idiots. This is an absolutely amazing game and I'm really hoping a sequel is coming this year or next year.
Dude, why is everyone freaking out over this guy? He said he liked the game! So what if he pointed out all it's faults. A) their completely valid points and B) he's a critic. He's supposed to say what's wrong with something. That's his job. To CRITIQUE the game.
@simpsonman956 You have to realise people dont come here to actually wonder to buy the game or not mate. They come in the vain and retarded hope that the person reviewing the game has the same opinion as they do so they can be affirmed it, is infact a good game. Well the majority of retards here do. I mean look at the highest rated comment...
@simpsonman956 If you critique a chair ..... you forget you just have to enjoy sitting on it . THis guy is talking so much shit about the chair you'd think it's radioactive . Similar example of what this guy is actually doing .
Only thing that really cheese me off is what platform it requires to play on. :-/ I'd own every console type if I had the money, but seeing as I don't I have to miss out on some things, like this game. Xbox 360 isn't one I own sadly.
Almost all rpgs follow the same convention, it's like an unwritten law for the rpg genre. Wouldn't be rpg if it did not factor in those same or similar conventions. The difference being if it has a good story behind it, and it doesn't bog itself down too much to make it unplayable. And from what I see, I think this is something I would actually enjoy. Play a game and form your own opinion rather than work from someone else's, several games I own have low ratings but I can't stop playing them <3
"the same boring side-quests as ever, like someon lost his dog and you must find" WTF, what this man want? theres a reason of this elements exists in a lot of rpgs.. they are good elements
IGN spends four minutes taking a shit on this game pointing out faults that are mostly opinionated garbage just to backtrack and say it's really a pretty good game? Oh right... it's IGN what else did I expect?
This review was just complete IGNorant style (bull shit) they wouldn't know a good game even if it took a shit on their face. I loved this game a great addition to add to my rpg collection
@Bloodyscissors The faults aren't opinion. Slow down, no block, enemies and choppy battles making it hard to parry, bad menu system, mediocre presentation... those are legitimate complaints. And he never backtracked and said the game is good. He said the story is good. Just because you like the game doesn't mean it's good. It's not like this game got good reviews anywhere else. Most people think it's not very good.
He faults the combat system and finishes with "it's a good thing your teammate heals u so often" basicly saying " it has a fault but they added something to fix it" so he's complaining about a fixed problem.
This IGN shit is real fucking dumb all they do is talk shit! God. Its not hard to play a game, bad or good. if its bad: Suck it up and GTFO it! If its good then Congrats. Ugh. IGN Just stop diiging yalls grave. He must not make good pay
I don't know if this guy is right, but he's not very good at reviewing. Goes off on tangents far too much and "follows conventions" isn't always a bad thing. Also, he said 18 characters and then dozens... Dozens is at least 24...
@MrDSBXFinest A mediocre game is a mediocre game. A reviewer calls it as it is. Just because Square Enix went out on a limb doesn't make the game any better now, does it? He doesn't say it's a BAD game, he says it's a mediocre one, and considering this game really does absolutely nothing new, I'd agree with that.
You have to understand, reviewers are meant to find the flaws in a product. That's their jon, so could everyone please stop complaining when they find legitimate issues?
not only does he soud like a bitch whos balls has yet to drop badding on a perfectly good game while he is a lil pussie in th corner of the bathroom playin his ds jacking of to mini the fuced up mouse THIS IS SPARTAN FLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to like this game but like he said in this review you almost never have the time to use items in your inventory cuz there is no pause for this game. That is ok for a pc game where you could click on various potions located on toolbars on your screen or hit hotkeys to use them. I also found it ridiculous that when I got to the wolves or wild dogs outside the original prison you are in that they basically hunted the chick down n pwned her and she didn't follow me or heal me. ugghhhhh
Please for the love of god noone listen to this guy this is in my opinion one of the best Next Gen JRPG's besides FF13 and Star Ocean TLH (Don't comment on FF13 Saying it's shit i don't care about your love for FF7 and how FF13 isn't like it) The story is original very original the characters are lovable except the voice syncing sucks real bad, but the voice acting is great. The gameplay is fun and fast paced it's an amazing game that shouldn't be passed up if you are a JRPG fan.
@Mekitzu i partially disagree. i think FF XIII and Lost Odyssey are the best RPGs of this gen. Infinite Undiscovery is a great game though. not incredible, but very good. I do agree with what he says about the "sidequests" though. The most interesting side stuff was the Seraphic Gate.
"Combat system just isn't that great." Well I'm going to start off by asking you if you have played ANY of the Kingdom Hearts games, and if you have, you'll notice that the combat systems of both Infinite Undiscovery and the Kingdom Hearts games (the ones for PS2) are a lot alike. Now by saying that this games combat system is terrible, you're really putting Kingdom Hearts down. I admit, there is some faults, like the voice acting, but seriously. I blame Microsoft for everything terrible.
I always enjoy when reviewers talk about JRPGs they say 'you have to save the world' with such disdain, but in Halo or Gears it's awesome to save the world. If I did a review of Reach(awesome, but to make my poin,t I'll act like it isn't) I'd say it like 'you have to shoot the same enemies and use pretty much the same weapons and vehicles you have been for 10 years. WOW.'
This IGN guy is ridiculously biased. You cant expect every game to look amazing and be a hit, hence how Minecraft is such an amazing game to play, yet graphically its back in the 1990's.
While yes, there were too many characters and keeping them all equipped with up-to-date gear was a pain, atleast it wasnt given a cumbersome levelling system, even characters who arent present get EXP, and the combat system could have been ALOT worse.
It's not a terrible game by any means. I enjoyed playing it, the whole 2 days that it took me to finish. The battle system was well done. The story is a whole different story. EVERYTHING that happened was pretty obvious, I predicted every single plot element as it unfolded, and was very seldom far off. Every plot point from Capell being an Unblessed, to Sigmund being his father, it was all hinted at way too much as the game went on.
looks good man is the storyline alright?? seems like game play (battle) is fun...im loosinghope on square enix aye its gone from OK to complete utter shit after they released ff12 these guys only concentrate on graphics its becoming papthetic
i find the 'connection' powers very awkward...I cant beat the damn troll in the beginning of the game because i cant get his fat ass close enough and when i do the girl runs in circles around me and wont fire!
What a bitch fest! This game was great! The combat system was great, the story was good and the amount of characters was about right for an RPG. Not every game has to have Final Fantasy quality graphics to be enjoyble. I still know people who play Chrono Trigger on the SNES because of the story and characters, not the graphics.

This game was a masterpiece, and the biggest reason why: Capell, the main character. I love his character development. In the beginning the group picks on him because he looks like the hero but really isn't. About halfway through he gets pissed that they keep comparing him to someone else so he turns dark and evil inside, which I don't see in RPG's alot. So Capell made this game a masterpiece. This game is one of Squares Best.

Here is the basic IGN review of any game other than MW2:
First thing wrong with this game is that ... there is no quickscoping.
Second thing wrong with this game is that there is no kill-streaks,: chopper gunners, harriers, nukes
Thirdly there is no commando pro, UMP45, dropshotting, and noobtubing
There is also no intervention.

If this game was titled
"Call of Duty: Infinite" - a role-playing real-time military strategic game

Then IGN would go bananas for this game and no questions asked, they will just give the game a 9.5 or 10/10!!!!!
WTF IGN, play the game more and no game is perfect....

@simpsonman956 I Ive never played this game before but here it goes. My problem with this review is that it focuses on the negatives which, while ok in a review aimed at the maker, it isnt ok if its aimed at the public which this is. Ok yeah if the thing is bad then yeah spending ages on the flaws isn't bad. Ive never played this game so maybe it is rubbish. But IGN gave the game 7.1 Thats more good then bad yet the review just mentions the good and doesn't explain any but the lack of elements.

this game was so-so. it felt like they were rushed in making the game and just said screw it at some parts. and it's not like cappel is the only look-alike either. if you look around there are only like 10 actual NPC in the whole game and they just changed the color of their clothes, it doesn't destroy the game but it just looks lazy. This game looks like it was made on an xbox version of RPG Maker 3.

I thought it was a pretty good story. However, during the first half of it I'd say, Cappell was definitely the biggest pussy I've ever seen. No sense of dignity or self respect, whining most of the time, took every insult directed at him like a bitch, and creating social awkwardness. It's like Tri-ace WANTED him to be an annoying and pathetic character at the start.
I'm sorry but it had to be said

In addition, I largely disagree with the statement about this game's "wow" factor. There are plenty of good cutscenes found throughout the game, try beating it for instance.
On a side note, it kind of annoys me that this critic treats the game like a shit stain on rpgs when he suggested waiting for Fable 2. Bad call on that one.

I could point out so many faults with this review but I'm not going to since just about every other comment probably already pointed them out, but I can't let a few things slide.
First, twenty hours is for people who burst through the game and try to beat it as quickly as possible, I'm at thirty hours and I just beat the game. I plan on doing it two more times so that's about a minimum of sixty hours not including me being a completionist.

Almost all rpgs follow the same convention, it's like an unwritten law for the rpg genre. Wouldn't be rpg if it did not factor in those same or similar conventions. The difference being if it has a good story behind it, and it doesn't bog itself down too much to make it unplayable. And from what I see, I think this is something I would actually enjoy. Play a game and form your own opinion rather than work from someone else's, several games I own have low ratings but I can't stop playing them <3

I also found it ridiculous that when I got to the wolves or wild dogs outside the original prison you are in that they basically hunted the chick down n pwned her and she didn't follow me or heal me. ugghhhhh

The gameplay is fun and fast paced it's an amazing game that shouldn't be passed up if you are a JRPG fan.

Now by saying that this games combat system is terrible, you're really putting Kingdom Hearts down. I admit, there is some faults, like the voice acting, but seriously. I blame Microsoft for everything terrible.

This IGN guy is ridiculously biased. You cant expect every game to look amazing and be a hit, hence how Minecraft is such an amazing game to play, yet graphically its back in the 1990's.
While yes, there were too many characters and keeping them all equipped with up-to-date gear was a pain, atleast it wasnt given a cumbersome levelling system, even characters who arent present get EXP, and the combat system could have been ALOT worse.

It's not a terrible game by any means. I enjoyed playing it, the whole 2 days that it took me to finish. The battle system was well done. The story is a whole different story. EVERYTHING that happened was pretty obvious, I predicted every single plot element as it unfolded, and was very seldom far off. Every plot point from Capell being an Unblessed, to Sigmund being his father, it was all hinted at way too much as the game went on.
