He gives the game a great score, calls it a landmark title but points out some things he disliked about it and everyone gets so upset. AN 8.5 IS A GREAT SCORE!

JAB991

The problem isn't the score. The problem is WHY he gave it that score. Essentially, he gave it an 8.5, because he doesn't feel there are enough mini-games. That's what it boils down to.

He thinks the game lacks depth, has a terrible camera and that its linear nature works against it more than it works in the its favor, Graphics and sound are nice, but if that's that makes a game truly special, then there really isn't anything that special about the game at all.

Trivia:

Q: What do you get when you take the overworld map, the minigames, and the boring grindy combat away from a Final Fantasy game?

A: FFXIII.

Fans are so finicky. Every Final Fantasy is linear except for X-2 and XI. You are generally struck down a single linear story path, until you get an airship where you can do some typically unnecessary sidequests before continuing down the same linear story thread. Now, if FFXIII doesn't have an airship and unnecessary sidequests, then maybe there's a case here.

It's a good thing Steam is free, because I definitely wouldn't pay for Steam's annoying bugs that have prevented me from playing games through it.

RE5 is better because you just know Chris and Sheva are gonna make a Jill sandwich after it's all done, but Leon gives up post-mission poon because he's **** whipped by Ada

I actually thought that RE4 and 5 did a pretty good job of making it actually less effective to go for the headshot most times, much like actually killing zombies in the old RE games was rarely necessary to bypass them. In 4 and 5, with the trash zombies at least, simply shooting them to stun them with a bullet and then melee attacking and knocking down a whole group of them is much better than headshotting them all in turn, which can take several handgun bullets, and then take several more handgun bullets when the parasite pops out. It isnt immediately noticable since ammo isnt exactly sparse, but if it was, alot of people would be pretty lost if they kept going for headshots all the time.

Level scaling in Oblivion feels off because things like petty brigands end up visibly wearing really good gear. It's funny how that works, really, since it doesn't feel quite as weird when a different coloured Fallen drops Rare Armor of Awesomesauce in Diablo or something. Level scaling in general can work, but simply scaling everything to your level is the wrong way to do it. There has to be more variables that adjust monsters that are meant to be stronger than you to be a mean level and then raised to optimum difficulty for that class of creature, and vice versa with lesser enemies. It makes it hard to draw loot tables for human characters that wear the equipment you do, though, since you need to offer sufficient reward for killing an appropriately leveled Generic Thug without making such a big disconnect that he becomes Generic Thug In Full Plate Armor, Mounted, Armed With The Lance Of Godslaying. The other option is to not have level scaling, have forced linearity, and cater to the grind mentality, which is what level scaling in the case of open world non-linear rpgs is designed to counter.

the thing about ff7 is that it really could have been a one disc game. all the good parts of the game are in midgar, after which youre just playing 'chase the dude with the big sword' while being introduced to and parting with a bunch of underdeveloped filler characters.

[QUOTE="PAL360"]

a great score! :)

SolidTy

Great, for posting in this thread about it, you have to buy it. As a die hard fan, it' s your duty for your system, for your company, for your honor. Saying, Great score isn't enough. Go buy it and prove to all of us you meant it when you said that.

wait, since when did you actually have to own a game to comment about it in system wars?
