Well, I mean, it's Jim Sterling. Wouldn't you normally assume tongue-in-cheek hyperbole since he does it all the time?

Does he do it all the time? I'm not much of a Sterling follower, you're gonna have to tell me...

Well, take his FF13 review, since it's kind of famous, too.

"The story is terrible, but the dialog is worse. An average conversation in Final Fantasy XIII goes like this: "Pulse, Cocoon, L'sie, Fal'sie, Focus, Focus, Focus." Over and over again, the same stupid words. If you can get to the end of this 30+ hour saga and not be sick of those words, you're a strong man indeed. I wanted to vomit after just an hour of it. That's not helped by Vannile, whose Australian warblings and high-pitched wailing manages to make an already ludicrous story sound even worse."

That's not actually how an average conversation in FF13 goes (though it's close).  I also doubt he wanted to vomit.  Throwing up isn't fun and probably wouldn't have helped.

I'm not a fan of Sterling whatsoever but he is from England so he does exaggerate for effect.
