Hey Rei , thought I mention that Penny Arcade brought up The Last Remnant again.

[quote name='Penny Arcade - Tycho']I
love reading reviews for The Last Remnant, because unlike most "big titles" there's no established Narrative. Everyone approaches the product in their own way, which makes the resultant dialogue
actually resemble what the medium deserves. I tend to resonate closely with Gametrailers reviews, even though their authorship is never established. The entity behind them has a well of forgiveness for games that have great ideas but sometimes obscure them, which perfectly describes their assessment of the game.
The Last Remnant
For dark, muttering ruminations on the same topic, let me direct you toward the
1up review. We need both of these perspectives, desperately, and we rarely get them. As for me, my well of forgiveness is not quite as deep as that of Mr. Gametrailers. I'll play broken games, I'll play games the community has to fix itself, I'll play "games that don't really exist in the product as such but are instead interpretations of oddities in the lore or mechanics," but I won't endure a game that runs like this. I'm still going to play it, though: the Unreal Engine that gave SquareEnix so much trouble on the Xbox allows them to deliver it on the PC, and at a time less crowded than this grim and unrelenting season.[/quote]
Thought I'd bring it up since they , along with a bunch of other people , aren't really hating on the game itself , but more of the technical issues of it.
