Zero Punctuation - Final Fantasy XIII


Recommended Posts

Pretty harsh, but I do agree with him about the padding. I'm about 20-25 hours in, and some of the dungeons (for lack of a better term) in this game are padded like there's no tomorrow. I've seriously been working on the same dungeon for at least two hours now. To make matters worse, each room of said dungeon looks exactly the same (or to be more specific, there are about two or three different rooms that are each repeated about fourty-five times). I have a pretty high tolerance towards things like that since I'm a longtime JRPG player, but I completely understand why some people would stop playing because of it. If Yahtzee kept playing beyond five hours, he would have gone insane :).

I like to reserve judgement on games until after I've finished them, but so far, this one is falling under the "good but not great" category. And this is coming from a huge JRPG fan.

Good Video. This guy always tells it how it is. Even the biggest FF Fans came back to me at work and told me this game doesnt good till 30 hours in. And even then its like "**** i missed something i need a guide".

Im not a FF Fan bt most FF fans place this in the "its good but square is loosing it / going to milk it now" category.

My cousin loves this game. I have watched him play it, and every time I fall asleep. No seriously, I mean I literally fall asleep. From what I can tell, you run around, meeting enemies, and then get transported into a fighting arena to "fight" these enemies, and then back again when you kill them. I don't see the appeal.

It's not good and square lost it over 10 years ago.

Square these days care more about rehashing than coming out with good new solid games.

FF13...biggest disappointment of the year

Yahtzee is a man after my own heart when it comes to FF, anything after 6 has sucked.

BLASPHEMY!

Triple Triad alone was worth enduring the world level stuff in FFVIII. Most addicting mini-game in the FF series ever!

Anything after IX has sucked. X was meh.

XIII is meh.

Wholeheartedly agree.

As soon as they merged with Enix, it's gone downhill.

I've never watched Heroes, so I can't really comment on that. :p

The guy in the video though is Freddie Wong, who is one of the top Guitar Hero players in the world.

I love Zero Punctuation, although you have to admit he has to either hate the game or love the game .. a bit like marmite only for gaming.

Although I love the FF series, somethings mentioned are correct. The game does feel padded out, I would have liked to have seen some decision making about where to go etc... but you could only run down a path given to you. Chater 11, is good but only when you complete the game. I'm liking the story and its told prity well but its not as imersive as FF VII was.

I only started the FF series from VII, I fell in love of it, VIII was prity good too but the games started to become more linear from VIII - XI. XII I never played, but I did try to get a hold of a PC trial but could never get it working so I gave up.

I'm looking forward to seeing what FF XIII Versus is like, and XIIII could be interesting.

I find it interesting that so many people are clamoring for Versus XIII even though no one has seen a lick of gameplay. It's almost getting to the point that it's a satire of itself since it's become the default defense of people not liking XIII or for people that are mad that XIII went multiplatform. "Well...at least we have Final Fantasy Versus XIII coming out."
