Lost Oddessy + Blue Dragon Vs. Infinite Undiscovery

xX Out$id3r Xx · 12-26-2008, 05:31 AM

As the title may suggest, Id like a little feed back to which you would choose. I hear alot of really great things from the public about Lost Oddessy, but it doesnt seem to score all that high when it comes to general media. Seeing as its $40 bucks, and I got $65 I added Blue Dragon to it to finish off. Not heard much about Blue Dragon, didnt think it scored all that high but I havent looked to hard. Heard it takes quite some time to finish the achievements though.

Infinite Undiscovery seems quite opposite in terms of reviews, not much acclaim from the public but decent reviews from "Professional Game Reviewers" Im well aware of corruption and "Bought Reviews" but meh they are still a source for information.

I buy RPGs for Shelf Life if anything, so on that note I might have 200+ hours going for the 2 games at 1k. But I have found myself enjoying action/real time based RPGs more often lately so Infinite Undiscovery takes points there.

Im impartial to which I get really, more bang for my buck if anything but hell a fun experience beats out 2 or even 3 mediocre ones.

Ok, well, you already have a post about this with 5 others including my feedback. Instead of making another thread, might have a look at your other one first.

I must say, Blue Dragon is one of the best JRPG's I've played in a long time!

I haven't tried Infinite Undiscovery but I did play Blue dragon & Lost Oddessy. LO was a great game and i loved it more than blue dragon, but LO i stopped playing because it got stuck at a part, got frustrated, and just quit. Blue dragon i quit because i saw my friend beat the game with only 15Gamer score, while LO if you beat it you should get 800+ i believe, and being obsessed with gamer score i couldn't be bothered to finish it.
- If you don't care about the score I'd go with Blue Dragon & LO. (*votes*)

EskimoDavos · 12-26-2008, 09:28 AM

I played LO when it came out. It really drew me in. I've been playing Blue Dragon the past few days. Its starting to the same thing. LO it was the story, I actually kinda cared about it. Blue Dragon is better in everything else, with the exception of music (and story as I mentioned before).

I would choose Lost Odyssey anytime!
It's an amazing game!

MyAbsolution · 12-26-2008, 11:15 AM

Lost Odyssey alone is better than the other two. It would have scored higher had it been named "Final Fantasy XIII". Made by the creator of FF, and scored by Nobou himself. The game is a masterpiece.

The production values alone on both Mistwalker games are phenomenal.

Both reviews that X360A.org did on BD and LO are spot on, I'd give those a read.

I don't know where you have been looking but Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey have much, much better reviews from professional/amateur sites. According to Metacritic, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon score 78 and 79, respectively. On the other hand, Infinite Undiscovery scored 68. That means LO and BD scored 10 and 11 points better, respectively.

Based off 109 votes, Infinite Undiscovery received 7.0 from users on Metacritic. Blue Dragon received 8.2 from 68 votes. And Lost Odyssey received 8.3 from 184 votes. Again, the general public seems to be favouring LO and BD. I don't know where you saw generally positive reviews for IU because most of them are calling it mediocre, cliche, and disappointing. The average rating of 68 from Metacritic clearly shows it as well. Also, my friend has it and I find it very "meh".

Obviously I'm going with LO and BD over IU.

I dont know about BD but Lost Odyssey is one of my most favorite 360 games. I got halfway into disk 4 a week ago and decided to rent a bunch of games with my gift card. Now it seems as if I must take a break

I dont know, since I got Blue Dragon and Infinite Undiscovery yesterday. Both are great, and Lost Oddysey looks good. Im kind of on the fence on this one...
