x-play and crisis core

I personally think the battle system sucks but with the good STORYLINE and CG , it's definately not worth 2 stars. Then again, it's not worth a 9.0 rating from Gamespot too.

The game is not as good as people says. the ARPG style of gameplay somehow does not suit some or the ardent FF fans , me inluded. People still prefer the old time / classic RPG style of Final Fantasy.

I liked the classic Final Fantasy Active Time Battle ( ATB ) system alot more than this X button mashing , annoying DMW style of gameplay. The chain slash and air strike breaks were kinda stupid too. Imagine someone shaking his left arm here and there , saying " i know , i know."

I actually played the game for the sake of the STORY and CG. Not the gameplay, for me teh battle system is pathethic , then again, it's just my point of view , everyone has different taste so in the end the game really depends on your taste and liking.

If i'm a reviewer for X-Play , i'll give it 3 stars.

If i'm a reviewer for Gamespot , i'll give 8.0

Agreed. One thing people don't seem to be able to grasp is the fact that ALL reviws, I don't care how "unbiased" they claim to be, are nothing more then OPINIONS

i tend to look at good lengthly (time put into) reviews by customers (thats only reason why i use gamespot). I personally think half the ratings by gamespot are completely wrong (not only did other reviews give it a different score, but the people as well). Its all biased, and i realized that. I also strongly beleive gamespot are mostly xbox 360 favorers. Everyone has a different taste. Thats why for example, Monster Hunter getting a Terrible rating (twice) by gamespot doesnt mean its a bad game(i actually think the review is hypocritical and conflicting, read it,....it gives me a good laugh).

I guess for FF, people were like "how dare you disrespect a great series like that...

Its like giving Metal Gear Solid a terrible reivew (people would flip)..Its like Snake eater (the rating was in low 8's...people got mad)

But hey, if you dont like a rating, then dont base a purchase off that.

On one side.. Who cares its their opinion.. Sense when is their opinion law?

Secondly I stopped really taking G4 seriously on the Crysis review.. Now I didn't expect them to rate it awesome like so many other people.. I really didn't care about their score.. It was after the review Adam claimed that it would take a upgrade of $2000 to run the game.. Wtf?
