Nevermind. Seems they took the Eurogamer score away from the 360 version too.

 

This is going to end up as PS3 version with everyone's scores v.s. 360 version with Xbox Mag + Site score.

What, but that's crazy!  Quite a few review sites pick one multiplat to review and only mention specific differences if they think it's necessary.  Unless EDGE, etc. specifically state their review is not to be taken as representative of other versions it should be used for both versions.

Metacritic is flawed enough as it is statistically without taking this approach.

They really need to revise their approach.

For example they should request from EDGE confirmation of score for 360, or not use review sites that don't specifically review all versions of a multiplatform title.

Oh, what do I care.  Metacritic is just a great example of flawed spoon feeding of the masses of what to believe about something rather than have to think about it themsevles.  I'm not going to get worked up about it even though it makes my statistics and maths qualifications simmer a bit!

 

Best post in this entire thread. way to tell it like it is.

Last Rebellion, White Knight Chronicles, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon, a long list of JRPGs failing to deliver this generation. The reviewers give games low scores to save us gamers the pain from playing through them. God bless the game reviewers.

Now add Final Fantasy XIII to that ever growing list.

uh oh!!! you better go and cancell your pre-order then!!!

They Gave FF10 a 6/10......... 9 years ago

9 Years later we have a similar FF to FF10.....go figure

Didn't they give FF12 a 9/10?

And FF13 is the opposite of FF12.

{which is a good thing imo}

Darth please tell me you didn't just say that!

I love the series because of the huge changes from game to game. I welcomed the change of pace from X-XII. And now I have welcome the huge changes from XII-XIII :)

@seraphic - If we are to say that gamesradar has a bias towards Final Fantasy, then we would HAVE to admit that Edge has one against FFXIII...because their score is unjustifiably low.

You guys realize that none of these reviews takes anything away from the game right? That said you'd best go with the GT review if you really wanna know what its all about. That one seems the fairest to me and there's video evidence for their points too.

I agree completely. There's was a great review. I also thought both IGN (au & uk) as well as the Gamespot reviews were very nicely done. I would have given a bit higher scores, but what they gave the game was amazing!

I loved FF12..its 9/10 in my book

but it has been 9 years since a FFX type Final Fantasy...so I'm glad FF13 reverts back to that...I wanted that change & they gave it to me!

I want FF15 to be similar to FF12 again!

Theres no need to want it to be the best, since you know, it will be the best. the KH team with Tesuya backing them up, Versus feeling more like FFVII instead of VI, X or XII.

Main character is a badass pretty boy. hes with backstreet boys-like party members, an' most likely a sephiroth-ish character to boot.

9's and 10's across the board sir. oh and i guess i should mention stella too... that was it. :P
