| Edouble24 said: Final Fantasy VII is the best game ever, and yes I've played it. Many times. |
Reasons why FFVII isn't the best game ever:
1) Lego character models
2) Boring "press X, win" combat system
3) Incomprehensible story marred by translation issues
4) Annoying main character (and supporting characters, while I'm at it - the only one I actually liked was Cid.)
5) Graphics aged incredibly poorly
6) No actual "role-playing" involved
7) Not challenging at all; a trained monkey could beat it.
8) ...
In fact, FFVII wouldn't even make my top 100 best games of all time list. Nor my top 200, really. The only good part of the game was the ground-breaking pre-rendering work, especially in the first 8 or so hours (in Midgar).
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
