What do you predict your opinion of FFXIII will be?

@ Zen good lord man really? A conspiracy theory that it gets low reviews cause it's on 360? Do you realize what you're typing? The 360, which has the highest review averages and the most dedicated review sources of any platform in history, is the reason this game is getting lower scores? Maybe it just isn't that great a game...

I went a little overboard saying "most reviewers" honestly, but I do however, believe that at least one reviewer, somewhere, will realize that we cannot prove that they are biased, and I also theorize that at least one reviewer, somewhere, is biased, and that bias will affect their opinion of the game.

I think that happens with every multiplat, in every review, and even moreso during exclusives.

This game, imo, is the most polarizing multiplat so far this generation, and I believe it might be affected by this phenomonon moreso than other games. That said, yes, I do believe that a review score isn't generally indicative of a games quality absolutely(just look at some of the swings in review score for partiular games from one site to another), however, I also believe that yes, XIII, like every other game, should be properly judged by that standard, simply because its the only one we have. If we had, say, a thousand professional reviews for a game, the law of large numbers would make our system more accurate, but often times, we're going off, say 20...

Whatever pattern Montana sees in my posting pattern regarding my attitude towards Sony fans is moot, as I've openly admitted several times that I believe Sony fans on the internet sometimes outnumber fans of competing consoles, and occasionally that number difference(sometimes vast) gives their fanbase greater influence. That's the extent of my apparent foeboism. I don't believe bias people are evil, but I do factor them in to my opinions. The where and why of that is, that by pointing out the influence quotent of fans, I have proven myself to be biased, because imo, someone who wasn't biased would have no motivation to speak out against such things.

@Montana

I would pose this question. If I assume biased people are evil, would I not also assume that I myself am evil, and in essence, damn myself with every hypocritical post I make? No, no, sir. Biased people are not evil. They are just people. Picking sides is in their nature as it is mine. No one is completely unbiased.
