Sounds like this DLC might actually be worth it.

I wonder what SE's "perfect" bribe was for this score. Tongue

The game is technically better than XIII, but I have a feeling that because they already gave that a 39, they had no choice but to give it 40 to remain consistent.

@Arvis: That's CHOCO-BOCO-LINA! The travelling merchant! xD

So like Tingle, but sexier and in a Chocobo costume?

Toriyama, your antics amuse and bemuse me. /facepalm

Well, if what SE says is true, and that they've removed the linear corridor that was in XIII, then it won't beat (in my mind) XIII in 'how' it told a story.

But that DOESN'T mean that I won't enjoy XIII-2, it just means that I won't hold it above XIII, I mean XIII-2 could even have a better gameplay, story, plot or characters they could all be better but it doesn't help me when the pathways are non-linear and are jumbled all over the place, because honestly I play games JUST FOR THE STORY and NOTHING ELSE, I don't care if there's 250 side quests or 10 different towns to visit, if they're not relevant to the overall plot then I couldn't give less of a damn about them, which is what XII's weak point was for me.

But that doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed non-linear games, it just means that I prefer linear over non-linear and XIII was super-linear so that's why.

I don't care if I'm in a minority because that's just how I feel about games, I play them for the storytelling and the rest of the content can kiss my behind.

Although I don't see the whole "bribe conspiracy" going on with GU all that much, but it's definitely popular on GS and N4G.

Why is it that EVERYONE agrees with Famitsu when they give Skyrim and Zelda a perfect score, but as SOON as XIII-2 gets one the "haters" babble about how "SE must have bribed them!!!11!!1!ONE!!"

Can't you just give them the freakin benefit of the doubt and perhaps CONTEMPLATE that XIII-2 *gasp* is as good as the scores say it is?

Well I hope the game lives up to the hype. I honestly I going to try to pick it up on day one, but IDK with that. Just hope the game delivers what the developers and early reviews like this one suggest about the game.

We're all looking for a hero in a world of villains.

I'm here to break your "Everyone" statement and say I was against Skyrim and Zelda getting perfect score Big Grin

Scores are subjective, opinions and not always popular in everyone's eyes. As with all reviews, I look at cons, figure out if they would be game breakers for me, and go play the game myself.
