80?

Yes. I might be a bit generous with that but I think it will get a lot of inflated scores for being a popular franchise.

....

I hope you're still around the day it scores above 90.

It is possible that the game will indeed get a metascore of 90. That would be a sad day.

Mass Effect got a 91 on the Xbox 360 while FF X and FF XII each got a 92 on the PS2. As Western gamers begin to criticize Japanese games more than ever while Mass Effect 2 improves massively on the original, I think it's an absolute given that ME 2 will score higher than FF XIII.

^^ quote on the tread.

Western reviewers will grade mass effect much better even tho it wont be. FF games are always awesome (main series) so i dont expect that to change. either way both will be awesome games and i will have both first day!!!!

Every main installment since VII has been 90+, why would a new installment, on a new console, with 4 years of development, change that trend?

Maybe SE is not paying for reviews anymore?

LOL! I thought you were reasonably hating on the game. But you're just hating for no reason at this point.

I blame you entirely.

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

So you think expecting a metascore of 80 (good game) is hating on the game? That is weird.

but... I really do hate these j"rpg":s. (sorry mr mod)

I suspect ME get a higher score. Square's title is going to be held to a much higher standard and probably lose points for things like item placement in the menu. Mass Effect is a media darling.

ME2: 9.6
FF 13: 9.4
