13-2 is a great improvement over 13. The fact critics have scored it lower than its predecessor when it addresses practically everything wrong with its predecessor means we need a complete overhaul of the numerical game review system, or critics themselves must wake up and stop being so horrendously inconsistent.

As for its sales. When you're selling the sequel to one of the most hated JRPGs of all time don't expect good sales.

I beg to differ.

Anyway, reviewers in general need to kick their reviewers into shape and completely change their scoring system. They also need to stop scoring games depending on the amount of hype it has, Skyrim and Mass Effect get seriously over-inflated review scores, while a masterpiece like Tales of Vesperia slips under the radar and sits at a 79 on metacritic. You guys can argue about Final Fantasy all you like, but almost every JRPG fan and gamers in general will tell you that Tales of Vesperia is a fantastic game, it's a shame it hasn't been localised on the PS3.

Double agree on that!
