Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2007 6:59 pm Post subject: Final Fantasy XII: Hit or Miss?

So everybody here (bar a few of the underloved European gamers) appears to have formed an opinion on the final PS2 installment of the ever-popular Final Fantasy series.
Let's get it down in useless poll form!

I voted yes, but the answer should've been, 'yes, but not as much as TP, cause I was 5 hours in when garbo spoiled it for me'

What are the spoilers for FF12? It's not as easy to sum up spoilers as some other entries in the series.

haha. How is it possible to spoil FFXII?

here's an ff12 spoiler

upon dungeon crawling a dungeon for a few hours, the reward was the characters agreeing they should head to their next location. Nothing in the way of character development at all.

In fact, that's what happens the entirety of FFXII! That's the story!

It's true. There really is very little of substance in FFXII. It's kind of like they decided to go with some cliches and didn't even bother to at least flesh it out from there, so instead of a cliched story you're left with just cliche, but no story.

while that's true, he's right. ff12 doesn't really have anything to spoil.

No, not really. I made a distinction. I acknowledge that other FFs are cliched, but they do have stories. FFXII hardly does.

In 5 days time I really hope I'm going to be the lamer who's all 'Well I really like it!'

well it's pretty good at the beginning, so you shouldn't really judge early

I'm notorious for liking bad games.
It's why my opinion means very little in the Uni Games Lab whenever I'm slagging off whatever MMO or LAN-FPS everyone except me is playing.

No, it's true. Most fps' suck dick. Half Life owns, however. It, Chronicles of Riddick and Bioshock are the only fps' worth talking about!

Halo sucks.

I think we can agree on 'Halo Sucks'

Overrated bullcrap

Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 8:17 pm Post subject:

Halo isn't all bad.

Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 8:21 pm Post subject:

But it's most definately overrated, yes.

Most games suck, but it is rare that a truly creative fps' comes out. It is by far by the most by the numbers than any genre out there, except maybe puzzle and sport games, and rpgs, but with rpgs you typically see creativity pop up much more often than fps'.

I have nothing against any genre, because I like every genre. Except sports games and sim racers - they suck - but first person shooters are so "me too".

Of course there are some games that use first person as a means, but they aren't technically fps', such as System Shock, Metroid Prime, Oblivion, and Deux Ex, but they don't count because they're not first person shooters! Chocobo

Halo is average fluff.
