Oh, how I'm late. But, uh...Toldja so.
I can't really say anything more that hasn't already been said, both right now and what I said months ago about how something like this would go. I'm actually surprised Mr. Ben reviewed it, as a wayaward "what if" post about this happening caused me to become so outspoken about here in the first place. These complaints that Yahtzee made are very similar to the ones I made when the game came out in Japan, views being shared with people who actually reviewed the game for a living (As I've said in previous posts I've made on the subject). Hell, even before then I was wary because Square has been getting into a nasty trend as of late.
Addendum: Reading over most posts in the thread, I'd like to further something. The tone of the vid wouldn't change if he played more than 5 hours. This is because the amount of flaws to time ratio this game is rather relative. Like the fact that once you reach the "Open World" part of the game, it's already over. To reiterate, the same shit that happened in Final Fantasy X, only without towns, puzzles, lore, or sidequests to add immersion to the world.
But hey, I think I'm done on the subject (finally). The game was described as what it was. It's not the worst game evar, but it surely one of the most overrated in the past couple years, even though it's only been out for such a short time. There REALLY isn'tmuch else to add, except argue over the fact that it could've been better without a little more polish and care, or argue that everyone that hates it is blinded by it's perfection ala Final Fantasy 7.
