a 6 in Edge is like 7.0-7.5 on most other reviewing scales

the demo was fucking gash :(

What was bad about it?

If it was as bad as everyone says why has it been so popular in Japan? if an RPG sucks they slaughter it in reviews it seems its coming down to differences in opinion over here and there.

The japs know their RPGS and if they rated it good then it must be worth picking up.

But hey i bought Shadowrun when it first came out despite every kid and his dad saying it sucked because of the reviews but what happened when the actual players started saying it was good? those people who go by reviews went and bought it and ate their words.

who cares why its popular in japan. they lick each others eye balls and have sex shows infront of 1000s of people.

it was too simple imo. once in a fight all you had to do was launch the most powerful attack each time (and there is enough resources for this too) and the enemy goes down in one go.

between this and geometry wars, id pick geometry wars.

Blue Dragon has sold under 200k so far in Japan (since December), how is that "so popular"?

The low scores for this are quite strange when you consider Famitsu gave it 37/40.

Famitsu is probably the worst place you can get your review scores from :) Besides, the score was by 'Famitsu 360', who rates xbox games a bit higher than normal Famitsu (who already review based on franchise popularity and publisher's wishers, etc).
