How so? He's a fan of the series in general, and Square promised that many of the things wrong with FFXIII would be fixed in the sequel. It also seems that for the first five hours or so, Square had in fact got it right and then everything went south. The score seems a little harsh from where I'm sitting, but I don't think it seems unjustified. The important thing to note is the little text below the score that says "Mediocre". FFXIII-2 is not a terrible game, it's simply average, with the high points being balanced out by the low points, going by the review. |
I think the reviewer would be better working in a factory. It is a fact now: whatever SE will do with the Final Fantasy games there will always be some retarded bashing it for a reason or another. FF XIII-2 adds many elements that were missing in FF XIII and still I read reviews putting it down for those same elements. This is an extract of few points I have read around:
- FF XIII is missing the cities!!
- Come on FF XIII-2 towns are so 20 years old.
- FF XIII is too linear!
- FF XIII-2 story is disrupted (sure it is. You can jump from a place/time to another now, you moron!)
- There are too many cutscenes in FF XIII
- There are not enough cutscenes in FF XIII-2
- FF XIII-2 music is best ever (IGN)
- FF XIII-2 music makes me throw out (some other jerk)
- FF XIII-2 story doesn't really end (but that doesn't seem to be an issue with Assassin's creed)
- FF XIII-2 has long loading times (yeah. Streaming out directly from the BR disc. Skyrim, which has a mandatory full install is awful on that and many other sides, and it still gets above 90/100 in this very same site).
