FF Versus Possibly Canned

So if Mind Jack was amazing for its final 10 minutes of gameplay it would invalidate the last 12 hours of boring awfulness? Nope, 10 hours was plenty enough for me to decide I didn't like FF13. And two boss battles of Sheva getting in my way, despite the battles themselves being simple, were enough for me to dislike RE5.

Your game should not take 20 hours to start. It should start when I turn it on.
 
Im with landslide on this I mean if you think 10 hours is truly not enough time to invest in a game and critic in then man your a tough critic. You must hate the video game review reviewers then because they are allowed to review a game as long as they are close enough to the end when they have to meet a deadline. I mean Az I respect your opinion but I think your wrong when it comes to critique for some people. For you the only way is to finish it while for some if you invest time and dont like it then you drop it. Like Landslide said a game should want you to play it from the moment you start not wait to build a build up then go "PLAY ME."

I heard that argument also that XIII does get great when you hit the 20th hour but the problem is the game set it self up for fail when your not enjoying the first 10 hours which is a very terrible gameplay setup. You set your product up to be over before it even started.

Also why we still arguing about XIII? I mean this is about versus lol and in the end the tide will never change and it will come down to who truly enjoyed the game and who truly hated the game. In the end it wont change our minds what we think about it.... so... can we talk about versus now?
 
I think you have to take some things into consideration. Most games first hour sucks because you are mostly busy with some tutorial and shit but you say meh the rest of its 10 hours will probably be good so you accept it. For a game like final fantasy the numbers are just a bit higher, you'll easily spend like 50-100 hours in the game, so 10 hours in comparison is less bad than it sounds. Granted, it was too long but if you drop the game because you didn't like its first hours, you are missing out on the like 40-90 great hours.

On the other hand a game thats only 12 hours long and only one if it is actually good, than that game can be rightfully called trash.
 
I respect your point Kenji, dont share it, but respect it. And yes having to go through 20 hours of boredom is a bad set up, big mistake there and that is why this FF is not my fav. Moving on! Now that FFvXIII is not cancelled I'm putting the little faint I have left in SE into this game cause it reminds me a lot of KH2.

I understand what you are trying to say, but FF13 is not so complicated a game that the tutorial should have taken as long as it did. It is, in fact, the SIMPLEST RPG I have ever played. And the game started right before it ended. Inexcusable for $60.
