Never look at the number of a review, it misleads more than it helps. For example, GTA4 is the highest rated game ever on metacritic. If you want to learn anything from a review, first look at the reviewer's history, what sort of games they were positive about and why Again, do not simply use the number here, read the whole review, the words are there for a reason. Do they review games for themselves or for their target audience? If the former, then ask yourself, are they the target audience of the game I'm looking at the review of. If the latter, ask themselves if YOU are the target audience. If you're reading a single review and it takes you less than 2 hours, you are going to come out knowing less than you started.
As for how it was bad:
Plot, character development, levelling system, combat mechanics, linearality. You name it, it was bad in it. The only ways it didn't completely suck are the two things that are an afterthought in games for me, sound and graphics.
But my opinion and yours don't have to be the same, nor does yours have to be the same as the popular opinion.What did you like about it?

well i personally thought ff13 was good " it was just hated on because it didn't live to the standards of the previous ones, but that doesn't make the game itself bad, "aliens colonial marines was bad" ff13 was just a let down, anyways nothing from the game "apart from it's graphics" stood out, but i couldn't find anything bad about it, it was a little to linear though

My point was merely that the reason FFXIII sold worse than its predecessors was because it was worse than it's predecessors.
You can argue that it (when judged out of context from other FF games) was good, but then, when judged out of context of normal FF sales, 6.89 million sales is good, no?
