  • You know sometimes it's just better that you hadn't played the last game in a series to make a level headed judgement of a title.  Which is the case with Final Fantasy XIII for myself.  I hadn ...

    “God of War III both met and exceeded my expectations of not only the series but of video games in general.”

    Bunch of hyperbole. Maybe you should raise your expectations because the mechanics certainly won’t be rocking any foundation. It’s a solid, pretty game, and nothing about it besides its spectacle pushes any boundaries.

    Stop jizzing all over it and maybe engage in some actual critical thought.

    Quat, it hasn’t even came out how have you played the finished game? Have you even FINISHED the game?! You’re an xbot in disguise. You’re not fooling anyone. Good bye.

    He explained it wasn’t a review and he isn’t doing any nitpicking, but critical thought does not imply that you have to point out bad things about the game. The game is tremendous and if he finds it perfect then he is entitled to make bold claims such as these. Notice how he said “might” be the best game ever made, not “is” the best game ever made…

    even the best games can’t live up to stupid levels of hype such as this. Just enjoy the game, don’t go calling it best game ever because then comes the backlash when people play it and dont’ think it’s the best game ever.

    “even the best games can’t live up to stupid levels of hype such as this. Just enjoy the game, don’t go calling it best game ever because then comes the backlash when people play it and dont’ think it’s the best game ever.”

    This.

    @ElVeneno My bad indeed. Add “likely” — even if the demo and every second of footage suggests very little, besides scale and spectacle, has changed since GoWII.

    @Anon This kind of hot air is a waste of time for both the reader and writer. There is no such thing as the best game ever, and such terms only exist to drive traffic from N4G to intellectually vacant sites like these.

    Again, let’s pick another. “it makes you examine the realm of possibilities in video game design.” serious lols.

    Quat, sigh, do you not bore the crap out yourself when you read your own comments back? Go get a life. Your probably still jizzing over your halo 3 disk.

    This game pushes more boundaries than just visuals, Having been lucky enough to have a play of the retail version I am unable to find anything wrong or that warrants a slagging about any part off this game. All I would say is its not my type of games, which is what I said after sitting in front of a 108″ HD projectior, surrounded by 5.1 audio after 4 hours of continuous play lol

    To prove these articles to be the abortive pieces of rubbish that they are. And, more importantly, laugh at the idiots who eat it up :)

    “This game pushes more boundaries than just visuals”

    More rambling. And you don’t even try to give that statement some backbone.
