@NickDynmo The game is awesome, and everyone else I know (personally, in real life) who are playing it loves it as well. I really have no idea what the nay-sayers were expecting. This is pretty much everything I wanted out of SWTOR.

They convinced me some time ago that it was a good game.

Chores. I like a clean home, but when I get into a game, this world may as well not even exist anymore.

It's really unfortunate about the on screen controls. That almost never works out well.
Looks crisp and clean though. I'd play it if it was on a device with a proper d-pad and buttons.

@Courtney
I'm glad you enjoyed it. There seem to be plenty of people who did.

I did not.

I know it's a joke. It's just I didn't find it particularly funny.

Don't get me wrong, I've been in the "Final Fantasy is no good anymore" camp for some time now. I've felt it's needed some serious updating and tweaking to grab more current generation of gamers.

I'll also admit that there are troublesome business practices in the game industry that cost the players a bunch of money for less of an experience, and that needs to be addressed,

I guess on some level, I was just disappointed in what the article actually ended up being. Instead of a valuable commentary on the failing popularity of a once great gaming franchise and providing well informed feedback, it makes unfunny jokes at the expense of the fans and industry practices.
It feels like a disgruntled NeoGAF forum goer decided they would try to be incredibly clever, but ultimately turned into a passive aggressive bitch fest.

I started reading this and was like "Oh finally! Someone is going to talk seriously about what is needed to improve Final Fantasy. Maybe some constructive criticism will come out of this!"

Instead we got one big joke.

There really is some value in deconstructing what works and what's broken for Final Fantasy these days. What made it big and popular in it's day, isn't exactly pulling in new players these days.

There is good content there to explore. I really would have preferred if you had gone into that, instead of passive aggressively insulting the game industry and its fans.

@omgJOHN Oh god. I'm working too much overtime. None this makes sense. Leave me alone.

@SuperAnthony64
You're basically comparing two completely different things and demanding to know why when a thing is true for both of them, it isn't true for both of them.
Tell you what, you tell me one similarity between SOCOM and Skyrim besides that they are in first person, and you might have point.

@kentuckyfried You know what's cool? Here in Canada, Friday is a national holiday. Not for Skyrim mind you, but it might as well be.

@ironneko Most of them probably never actually played it. I didn't but I hear from people who did that it was actually pretty good.
