I'm not saying I find it bland, I'm TELLING you it's bland. How is it not an objective analysis, yet yours is? How can I be wrong when I'm right?

@ Bolded: Wa-hey, we're getting somewhere...Kinda.

Surely reviewers are meant to review games objectively? Did Square Enix pay-off all 82 reviewers (ignoring the single reviewer that gave the game a negative review) or something?

People are prone to making mistakes.  Look at Grand Theft Auto IV, got the best reviews of this generation, yet I can't find a person that actually likes it.  Now, it's all jokes about "NIKO ITS YOUR COUSIN ROMAN WANT TO GO SHOOT SOME POOL!".  Just like how people were awed by FF's graphics and legacy.  HEll, even Killzone Shadow Fall only got the reviews it did because "oooh, shiny!"  

And by the way, Final Fantasy XIII has a lower metascore than Final Fantasy X-2, which is considered a joke.  So yes, it is pretty damn bad.  

FFXIII has only gotten worse in time as people found that the little niggling doubts they had are full blown issues, whereas older games like VI get better with age as we find more to like.
