I don’t think these comments are targeting the entire PC gaming community, just those specific people that whine about any game that doesn’t support 60FPS.

Square is lazy since they don’t want to rewrite a good portion of the game’s engine to jack up the FPS?

FF X is easily the best port Square has put out. It’s stable, full of graphics options, and it’s very well optimized.

There are certain games that I care if I can exceed 60 fps for maximum enjoyment. FFX is not one of those games.

I’m trying to understand what you’re saying but it sounds like you’re splitting hairs. He gave it a bad review BECAUSE he didn’t like the game. I think for the sake of this whole thing it’s irrelevant if he didn’t like it because of lack of polish or it had a bad story. He wrote a negative review, which I think he’s…

I don’t see reviews as strictly being personal opinions. I mean an opinion could simply be “I liked the game”, surely a review needs more than that. A good review examines all of the criteria of the media in question: What was it trying to do, who is the intended audience. How did the gameplay flow, was there a story,…

It is. He actually used to have a column called Contrarian Corner where he would shit on universally beloved games and a praise universally reviled games. He is actually a troll posing as a critic.

Really? You expect all games to be playable? Have you SEEN the things that get released these days?

No, I’m saying to be a credible reviewer, you should have much better written reviews discussing points throughout the game, and the problems, rather than just saying the reviewing equivalent of “nah, it’s shit”.

Personally, I don’t care that this guy who likes to play contrarian gave Uncharted 4 a negative review. What irks me is that the editorial people at Metacritic feel it’s okay to make up their own score for a review that was unscored. They have a section for unscored reviews and everything. That’s just pretty fucking…

Oh I totally agree. Not that the Sci-Fi series was terrible, it was decent, and truer to the books than the original movie. But it suffered the same general constraints that a movie would. Time.

It’d be best suited for a netflix series I think, or HBO. One of the two. The internal monologing can be gotten around given enough time to show things. The story in general is fairly simple, Avatar, for example, followed and hit just about every major plot point (without the dune specific flavoring of course). Its…

I think Grandia deserves an honorable mention. And perhaps Lunar.

Azure Dreams does not get enough love. I really wish there was a sequel to that game. It’s a great mix of Dungeon Crawling/Dating Sim/Pokemon/Town Management. I just wish there was more to it and more of it. The game does start to lag once you get high enough in the tower and have everyone as a girlfriend. It kills a…

The issue isn’t him. The issue is Square thinking that was a good move to release that demo. The Platinum demo as a whole doesn’t do a whole lot for the game. Several people I know who were very excited about FFXV their only experience with it is the platinum demo and they now have almost no interest in the main game.

I think a bit of that statement from Tabata isn’t necessarily directed solely at the game’s development, but rather how much work and research went into turning Final Fantasy (series) into a mainstream series instead of the more niche-status it had pre-VII. This was a fairly monumental task. In fact, Tabata’s…

The show needs to end before the story gets ridiculous like when Paul’s descendant literally transforms into a sandworm! LOL

You had me at the Dune reference although the worms should be much much bigger

Knew it. The issue isn’t the combat systems its you. Square basically did the equivalent of dropping you 25 hours into a ARPG and saying FIGHT! Of course it’ll seem crazy because you want to play it like you played the rest of the demo, which you cant. Duscae for example took about an hour to teach you to fight…
