Looks like the FF the fans always deserved

Why i left PC gaming

Positive impressions from numerous other outlets as well. But the game still seems far off :(

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.

The NX will be a 900p machine

I have Final Fantasy 1 on my PSP, but I got lost and don´t know what to do now, it happens all the time with me, Star Ocean, FF...

I guess this is why I like Person, it just happens, even if you are a idiot like me, games where you can get seriously lost are complicated to me.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Essentially a preview? or even less than that.

Why do we care. Can't count how many times a preveiw makes a game seem like a must buy, amazeballs games and then when final game comes out its like they playe da different game cause doens't sound anything like the preview.

How they can constantly go to being this game is amazing and super hyped in a preview to this game is pure garbage in their review always baffles me.

But I guess it probably comes down to money. If they hate on a game in a preview the company won't advertise on their site or heck might even blackball them in giving out a review copy or some embargo, ect. So no wonder its ALWAYS praise in a preview.

The order is really the only game I can think of that didn't receive good praise in a preview.

im not gonna get into why this effect reviews and such, ill just explain my point as simple as possible. its about money, if a preview says it sucks, they push people away from the game and they dont listen to more news to it. if they say its amazing balls, then you will most likely or not listen/read more news of it in the future and read the review.

they say its good, so you want to know more, and they get more clicks. its really that simple. did you ever wonder why most previews pretty much always say good things? unless its a highly anticipated title where saying something bad can generate more clicks, most previews are gonna be pretty postive.

Laying all the blame on reviewers is a bit naïve. Most likely lies with devs, or more specifically publishers. These previews are controlled scenarios *designed* to impress and may or may not be representative of the final product. Publishers and their PR guys know this, they do it on purpose to build hype. There's plenty of blame to go around, trust me.

I've slowly started to dislike IGN,so I refuse to visit their website.

Edit: I'll gladly listen to what anyone on VGChartz has to say about it though when they get their hands on it.

The game looks so good and the combat is right up my alley. The wait is torture.

IGN never wins in any situation.

If the game comes out and they give it a bad review people will just make more dumb jokes such as "IGNorant" or "too much water" or something dumb like that.

If they give it a good review people will talk about them being payed or something like that.

Some posts in this thread would probably be different had IGN said they didn't enjoy their time with the game.

It's really disgusting how some people act towards them.
