I don't understand how Ryan Clements can constantly say that the game is an improvement, yet give it a lower score than XIII.
January 27, 201213 yr That was about what I was expecting. The ending(s) turned me off from getting the game, especially since I'm kind of a fence-sitter on the original. EDIT: my apologies, I wasn't reading particularly closely. Edited January 27, 201213 yr by Spectrum of Life
January 27, 201213 yr lol. i never saw a game review by IGN that got a 9.5 or 10 Look at 90% of the games that came out last November.
January 27, 201213 yr Author A different guy might have reviewed XIII. That was about what I was expecting. The ending(s) turned me off from getting the game, especially since I'm kind of a fence-sitter on the original. Are you blind?My second sentence clearly states that both games were reviewed by Ryan Clements.
January 27, 201213 yr Are you blind? My second sentence clearly states that both games were reviewed by Ryan Clements. Opinions change. His opinion of FF XIII probably significantly declined after he did his review for it (which happens a lot). This is why I find reviews sometimes sketchy (yes, coming from an unprofessional reviewer). It's hard to put together your thoughts on a movie or game review only a few hours after you've beaten it, and the guys who get early review copies are given only a specific amount of time to play through and write a review for a game.
January 27, 201213 yr I don't care what the reviews say. I never use them for anything other than to find out if a game's completely broken.
January 28, 201213 yr I saw a review for it on playstation lifestyle (I think that's what the website was called) and they gave it a 5/10. Ouch.
January 28, 201213 yr In this topic: People slowly start to realize that reviews are glorified opinions
January 30, 201213 yr I like the 8. It's storyline is too whacked out to be the 40/40 Famitsu gave it, but it's gameplay seems good enought to salvage its score.
