[quote name='VGI-Shinobi']I second that notion. Some people pick up an RPG and expect it to play like a Final Fantasy but if it does not so they claim "it's the worst game ever, blah blah blah." Seriously, there are plenty of mediocre games out there and Magna Carta won't even come close. The gameplay mechanics are complex, so it definitely is not suitable for someone who doesn't want to spend time learning its mechanics. Btw, since when IGN reviews worth any cent nowadays? Ex: especially their review of Shadow Hearts really made me bust out laughing years ago. Pro gamers my ass!!! Anyway, I'm having a blast through Magna Carta.[/QUOTE]
agreed, I bought this the day it came out and have enjoyed every second of playtime so far. I personally enjoy the battle system quite a bit. I got dragon quest VIII at the same time and haven't played it once, magna carta and xbox 360 have consumed all my time. I never listen to video game reviews unless a game continually gets 5's and lower from a bunch of different websites.
