I expected a score like this to pop up eventually. I expect more scores like this to come as well. Nothing surprising.

This game is struggling for critical acclaim.

Hopefully Versus isn't as disappointing.

Actually it isn't.

Gameinformer just gave it a 9.25, and most import reviews are on 85/90.

Just look at Kasz response. FFXII is rated above 90, yet it also got some very low reviews. It happens the same with all FF's, and it will happen the same with Versus.

MAG and Dantes Inferno scoring over than FF13? Sureeeeeeeeeeee. These people need to stop playing JPN Imports and play the actual damn versions they were meant to play.

So I take it you played all three games? And the last part of your comment is laughable. Ever thought that maybe the reviewer is fluent in Japanese and didn't want to wait to play localized version? There's no difference between both versions other than the main theme.

As for your other comment, this is what PSM3 UK gave some recent RPGs (taken from Metacritic):

Final Fantasy XII - 94
Valkyria Chronicles - 85
Eternal Sonata - 84
Demon's Souls - 88
Persona 3 FES & 4 - 90

That british magazine reviewed Demon's Souls ?

such damn bastards teasing us European gamers.........

Could it really be bad enough that it is worse than MAG? I hope its just a bad review and nothing else.

At this rate it's going to settle with a Meta of mid-80s, whilst I consider 90+ to be "critical acclaim", and so as far as I'm concerned it is.

Hang on. Have you noticed the number of games that are sitting at 90+ on metacritic from this gen? A hell of a lot. Normally i pass up on dumb fanboy comments but this is just too annoying too pass up...

Also, hey guys, a low review score isnt actually a direct insult to you personally. It just means they dont thing the game is as good as you were expecting it to be.

Check out my pyro tf2 vid :)
