apologies, i thought we were referring to ff as that is what the thread is about.
Im playing the game right now, to put it simply its excelent. I dont get reviewers realy, this game is a very enjoyable JRPG. Forget the score and all that crap, this game si getting a lot of reviewer hate due to the bad rep FF XIII has and because this is the generation to hate on Square enix regardless of what they do, play the game its worth it.
2 Reasons;
Firstly because GamerReview does not do the stupid thing where a 9 is an average, a 9.9 is good and anything below 8 is terrible.
Secondly, because it is apparently nowhere near as good as it was hyped up to be on VGChartz forums, which happens to be the fate of pretty much all big PS3 games.
Well for consistency they should have the same person reviewing the sequel as reviewed the original (C. Arnone - 9.0). At least that way there's proper relativity between the first game and it's direct sequel so that people who played FFXIII can get a proper sense of how FFXIII-2 comnpares to the original. Or at least get someone who liked FFXIII as much as the original reviewer to do the review. This way you can't actually get a good handle on how the 2 games compare. The difference between this site and Edge, for example, is that Edge gave XIII-2 the same 5.0 score as XIII. Tells everyone the games are about the same. What this site tells everyone is that one game is way better than the other.
From what I've heard the XIII and XIII-2 are about the same.
All the gaming public ask for is consistency, consistency means gamers can rely on a website to be a good indicator. To me, 2 years on, it seems like XIII's score should be down in the 6's, rather that XIII-2's be up in the 8's for there to be reasonable comparability.

The biggest paradox about it all is that things that people like the game for are the same reasons it is criticized. Story, characters, and gameplay are things that get hated on while also being praised.

Not even close. I'm imagine he's counting Pokemon here.

ff has had lots of cutscenes, since 8. |
And previous ones had plenty of non-interactive dialogue too which wasn't realised as cutscenes because of technical reasons (lack of space mostly).

His review seems fine, he talks of both good point then bad, like any reviewer should. His opinion as a FFXIII player is better then some random guy coming in not knowing the first games and just reviewing it. I played the demo, I felt like I was back playing FFXIII again and stopped playing the demo at quick time events, even if it got better, no FF game should have quick time events.
Hmm, pie.
