just wanted to post in this epic 250 reply thread

Don't worry - my threads never get that big, they're all too reasonable!

Here is a pointer to earn more VG$

1) Titles are important.
 - For example: Forget 7 - EDGE gives PS3 FFXIII a 5!
 - people will rush in thinking they gave the X360 version a different score. The fanboy wars will break out.

2) Scores are important
 - insist that since the score is so low you are no longer buying the game (heck, that happened with NSMBWii and it got a 7 from EDGE)

3) Post random excerpts from the review that paint the game in a bad light
 - you'll get everyone FFF (final fantasy fanboy) on the defensive.

 

Now that I've helped, I will just go back to sitting and watching as I have no intention of buying this game since the review score is so low. I only buy AAA!!!! Games.

Y'know, that's probably all too true.  I was looking on EDGE then figured I'd come here to see the reaction, didn't see a thread and thought heck I'll start one then just to see what others thought, didn't really think beyond that.

I wasn't sure if I'd get it simply because I tend to duck in and out of playing FF, but from other reviews and the media I've seen the 5 just plain amazed me.  I can't say for sure until I play it but it's hard to see justifying the game as anything below 7 or 70% - fine for it's genre - but I guess EDGE thought different.
