Standards, trends, and methods for juding a game have changed. Simple as that. It's why indie games are given FAR more leniency than big AAA games. It's why simple phone games can get bafflingly high scores. Scoring methods need to evolve as the medium evolves. |
But judging a game SHOULD be based on the series standards. Say what you want about XIII, (it sucked after all) but it was still a well paced thought out cohesive game. It was just linear and filled with unlikable characters with a bad twist on the classic Final Fantasy music or lack of Final Fantasy music all together.
XV is a mess of a video game in pacing and story. It's like the Suicide Squad or Batman vs Superman of FF. It was one game Frankensteined to try to be what fans want and the seams are appearent and ugly.
