One Piece: World Seeker Reviews Thread
- Thread starter Flevance
- Start date
I enjoyed my 600+ battles and over 100 hours of playtime in Naruto Shinobi Striker. Its addicting and fun.
Yea it is.
The earlier they make it the better.
Thanks for your input.
Saw the IGN review and that seemed pretty damning. The main three things that got me were: not being able to use Luffy's movement abilities at all in a guarded area with instant shot snipers with the movement itself already looking pretty stiff, instant loss stealth scenarios in a game with minimal stealth mechanics, and that fucking treasure chest opening. Jesus christ who thought this was a good idea.
One can only hope that most of these were flops and they'll start putting more time, money and effort into future games.
Ugh I love One Piece so i'm torn. I tend to find Game Informer pretty good with reviews, but it's weird to see them being a positive outlier for this game. I don't want to reward Bamco's continuing shitting on good IPs... but damn it's a One Piece game.
Working on my review because I didn't get a gigantic open-world 50 hour game until Sunday but, from my experience so far, trust the mid-range reviews. Ultra-short preview version based on my incomplete playthorugh- it's pretty ok. I don't mind playing it.
Protip- No autosave except when completing parts of missions, so save manually every now and then.
Regarding the treasure chest opening, it's so you don't dart in to a high-level area and yoink the goods with a single quick button-press before running like mad. Honestly, it hadn't even registered with me as a problem until people pointed it out.

I was hopeful for this game after how good the intro cutscene looked, but I'm not gonna let the fanboy in me get the best of me. I'm not dropping $60 for a 5/10 game.
One Piece deserves a game on that level. Seriously, can people contact Oda about it? People already give him the craziest requests for art and answers. I wonder if he has enough sway to do anything
Jump Force is the only game Bamco put in a lot of marketing and it's selling well. The rest was just dumped out with little fanfare. I don't think they care.

The writing was on the wall. Hope everyone who buys it enjoys it. I ain't got time for trash with an anime coating anymore.
I never trust anime licensed games. At times, it's like publishers care even less about quality. The only exception I've seen in a while is DBFZ.
Here's another impressions:

Well well well. I mean it looked disappointing and bad from the start and it didn't ever seem like it was destined to be good. Glad I kept away.

Why is Namco so bad at making games!
Nope. I'm an OP fan of more than 15 years and there is no fun to be had in shitty games. A shitty game is a shitty game wether ur an anime fan or not.
I'm a One Piece fan and wouldn't think of paying full price for this regardless of how much I like it. Being a fan doesn't mean you'll suddenly excuse a bad game. At most you'll overlook some of the faults
One hopes the love of an IP is strong enough to endure a below average game. Saul give me strength.
I'm still going to play it though. I love One Piece too much.

You're entitled to feel that way.
I don't even like One Piece.
Okay? Who said you had to buy it at full price to enjoy it?
I never said being a fan means you'll excuse bad games, I said there's likely fun to be had if you enjoy the IP. Your mileage may vary, obviously but the idea that people like these games isn't unheard of and it's baffling that I even have to say this.
From what I've played, Ganbarion's One Piece games are never anything special. I'm not expecting anything different here.
They don't give it to good devs outside for Musou is the issue.
It's crazy though fans are weird like that when you expect people to be aware of that.

welp, i guess this game for me then.

These games have made me nervous for the DB game coming out soon. I think the best anime game so far is that exclusive Naruto: Rise of a Ninja on Xbox 360.

If you are not a fan of One Piece it's probably gonna be a worse experience for you.
Talk about divided opinions
Then you are gonna love Darksiders 3 even more,since it got 9s and 2s. The credibility in modern journalism is strong

if One piece got an adaptation as good as storm the gif would be different.
I swear, namco Bandai doesn't know what they have, one piece is such a massive global brand yet they treat it so poorly, shonen jump in general.
I'm not saying give MHA or black clover a AAA budget but naruto, one piece, Dragonball, those are literally the biggest manga series, they've dumped money into DB and got good results but they fuck around too much.
I played nature rise of a ninja without even seeing the anime, and really liked it.
I will wait for discount anyway.
They just need to make Unlimited cruise 2.0 with new bigger islands and add the new attacks the crew has gotten since then, it is not that hard.
I don't know how they were able to get so much right with unlimited cruise and then so wrong with all the follow ups.

I appreciate a good story but I'm not gonna go through a generic at best open world for 20 hours to experience that.
I've been a strong advocate for this game just because it was different than the usual licensed anime game fare.
Never did I expect it to be this polarizing.
I'm waiting for more reviews to come in, and I also want to try it first hand.
If it's majorly reviewed as bad, then Shueisha or whoever needs to yank the One Piece game rights away from Bandai Namco and Ganbarion. I've had enough of their shit.

Unlimited Cruise and Pandora's Tower were some of my favourite games on the Wii.
I wish they would've doubled down on that experience (playing as the whole crew and having each allow you to do something different with the scenario, exploring the areas and unlocking new moves by hunting, fishing and crafting...) instead of multiplayer focus (with all the moves already avaliable) for World Red and trying to do open world with only Luffy here.
(That said, I haven't seen much of this game myself, and World Red was ok as a game besides some things that it did worse than the predecessors, so I trust Gambarion)
As for Unl. Cruise, I loved cutting up bamboo with Zoro, killing bunchs of enemies with Nami and running through land on her Scooter, as well as on top of the water with Brook to reach new areas. While Chopper and Luffy were great for bosses, Usopp, Franky and Robin would let you stay away for a while from those hard ones that would drain your life in seconds, like Whitebeard.
You also needed to keep Franky alive so that he could build bridges here and there with all the materials you had been gathering.
Everyone had a purpose in the crew, and you were glad to have them all.
Pandora's Tower felt very similar to those games in the crafting and game rhythm, having a hub and several areas around a theme were you would encounter different materials, albeit with the time limit and the areas being more similar to each other, probably because there were 12 towers instead of 4/5 islands.

Nothing unreasonable there..!! That said, being fatigued on open worlds as is I actually am more forgiving if it could just compensate in some other area. xD As long as the gameplay itself ain't bad as in 'annoying' or of horrid integrity and more as in plain and rough around the edges.
:(
I'm a huuuuge One Piece fan and while I was always skeptical on this I really hoped it would turn out decent
I watched IGN's video review
I'm sad now
