@mrantimatter "Seems like an overly harsh review, frankly. You mention a lot of things are fixed, and improved, yet seemingly knock two stars off for trivial stuff.
Sounds like he was reviewing based off the game he wanted to see, and not the actual game he was playing."
Whenever anyone plays a game with "Final Fantasy" in the title there will ALWAYS be expectations, Jason is pointing out how those expectations weren't reached. I have no problem with a reviewer basing his review within the expectations of a franchise, e.g. Image a movie with Die Hard in the title which has been advertised as as a Die Hard movie, yet turns out to be a plucky romantic, bromance, or sisterhood movie. I don't know about yu but I'd be pretty disappointed.
Yes, a man making more money than all of us combined for running with a little ball in his hands got injured while playing an extremely physical sport ...... Yeah there is no pity to be found here

No, no, no, NOOOOOOO!!!! please, please, PLEEEEASE tell me they won't be dumbing ME3 down in to "just another rpg-shooter with multiplayer thrown in to make a few extra bucks".
It's such a great story and universe they have created that I'd hate to see them skip over some of the those core ME elements, story points, and/or moments just to make some money off a multiplayer mode.
I second the poll idea, I feel like one of the only people that actually has some fun running around like a mad man freezing a shooting people causing mayhem ...... its fun. BUT I HATE MP achievements in general especially lame play for this long and you get this achievement BS. How about you just make the experience a little more fun and stable, rather than forcing the people who want 100% to play?
What I wonder is if they'll offer a channel with the radio broadcasts of the games like the iPhone app provides, cause THAT'D be pretty sweet too ...... especially for all us broke ass baseball fans
