2014 is a while away but honestly I'm just completely stoked that we are getting in NA at all. I think Square is starting to turn a new leaf and ill be buying this day one. Just go click on forum section of this game and you can see the post I made months ago about how bewildered I was that Square wasn't localizing this stateside. Well I was wrong and I'm sorry for the hate Square - cant wait to play this gorgeous looking game! Very excited!!!!

I agree but I was just making a point: this guy had the sack to put a percentage on it and a whopping 60% at that! It's ridiculous. Of course graphics play a part but you should not put a number on it. And I would think that specific percentage implies that graphics take precedant over the gameplay itself. One day we won't be playing these games, we'll be watching interactive movies. I hope I'm wrong and maybe I am but a comment like that scares me. We will never run out of new tech, but innovative gameplay ideas need to take precedent over graphical capabilities. And that's not to say graphics don't play a part in innovation - your heavy rain example eludes to that - its just that his statement was a little off putting to me.

gameplay is 100% of the experience.

@jmace1 I didn't purchase a WiiU to spite Microsoft: I love nintendos IPs. They're better than any other systems. Plain and simple. And I own a PS3 because it also has excellent exclusives and a blu ray player. What does Xbox have besides Forza? Nothing I can't get on other systems. Ill actually concede Halo but that's one other series and it never really changes nor is it my personal fave. I get the WiiU hesitance but its your loss - it's an incredible system with tons of potential and It has already given me hundreds of hours of gameplay courtesy of monster hunter Mario and Arkham. And it won't be getting the big stuff till a few months from now - I'm patient. My favorite modern series is fallout. Unless Microsoft buys out Bethesda ill stick with the more affordable and consumer friendly Sony for my multiplat games.

Forza is the only thing I respect in regards to Xbox. It's bar none the best racer series on the market and the devs show a passion for their muse that is unrivaled in the genre (yes even poly.) If I were flush with cash, I would honestly buy the system just for that one game (I did for the original Xbox And original Halo) but sadly I'm not anymore - I already got a WiiU and PS4 probably has my money next.

@AK_the_Twilight @ArabrockermanX a horrible port given a 9.5 when Van Ord originally gave it the same exact score in a more succinct review? Yeah I'll have a word with that review.

@white_wind @Squalo25215 so you admit it was a fiasco lol.

@91210user I don't think I've ever heard that kind of reason for NOT buying a game LOL

Truly memorable experience and it deserves all its praise and sales.

Also want to add that it had an EPIC ending and the pacing was exceptional
