FFXII was a melee button-mashing, cliched-story, horrendous characters, autopilot combat, broken mess of a game. It was nearly flawless on a technical level, but did almost nothing else right."
Wrong on all accounts. Final Fantasy XII received a 10 from Play Magazine and a 9.5 from IGN. It also won IGN's Playstation II Game of the Year Award for 2006. |
I'm glad your entire enjoyment of games is based on what other people think about them. There are those of us though who form opinions separate from those of reviewers, and in mine FFXII was awful. Not even a debate for me. I would not replay that game if you paid me. I would actually rather go to work than play FFXII, and that goes double for Oblivion.

Excuse me, an evil alien machine invasion. My fault. There was nothing deep about it. It was laughably simplistic. Although nothing made me laugh as hard as the romance. The worst cheesiest dialog to grace a video game in years. If Mass Effect were a movie, it would be lucky to be considered a B-Movie. It's a mess in story, character development, and design (my god how many times can you remake the same fucking planet with a different texture paint? Try not making your game in a map editor). Playing WoW by yourself is better than Mass Effect. At least it has variety of design.
