Wow, sounds like this game earned all its hate. I'm kind of torn now. I like to play good games, but sometimes I like to play games that are terrible simply because they are terrible, much like people purposefully watch bad movies. I'm especially likely to do this if it's from a series I like. Example: Other M. I love Metroid, but waited to get the game for $5 and went in with low but not abysmal expectations, and was thoroughly disappointed with the quality, but I didn't have to play the game and did anyway, completing it 100%. It's like I have a morbid curiousity to see my favorite series at their worst. Of course, XIII still isn't the worst Final Fantasy. That record belongs to the original version of XIV, holy shit. If XIII wouldn't take ungodly amounts of time to play through, I might give it the Other M treatment. It's interesting, you can learn a lot about game design by playing through horrifically flawed games like that, and it can be good for laughs and stories when you tell people just how bad things were, and how stupid the designers were. I certainly got a lot of laughs out of that OP. It's even more fun to play the terrible games with friends, and show off the worst parts. |
You know, going into the game like that, you'll probably have a lot of fun with it. This game is rife for a riff-track as they have outright bizzare design choices that make no sense. Honestly though, look up "The Spoony Experiment", he does a 6 part comedic spoof of the game which is a little under 3 hours in total. It's quite funny, and will likely get you the same enjoyment without having to waste time on the game. I spent a little over 80 hours on this game, I specifically read most of the bloody datalogs because I wanted so bad to enjoy this game... but then I played it only a few weeks after release.

Hmm, good tip, I'll check it out. An 80+ hour RPG is just a bit too long for what I'd be playing it for.
