With every release Square seems to be getting further and further away from "fantasy" and closer to "reality". I don't know about everyone else, but what originally drew me to the Final Fantasy games of yesteryear was their ability to take me out of reality for a while. I'm not interested in a cool or stylish FF game. Just make it fun and hmmm fantasy maybe?
I always find it funny when people accuse gamespot of favoring one company over another. I can find any number of gamespot articles where 360 was praised over ps3 for better graphics and/or online interaction for a 3rd party game and the same people bash them for being MS fanboys. Now that Sony is clearly winning the next gen battle to this point gamespot is bashed for being Sony fanboys. All I see is gamespot calling it like it is. Keep it up guys.
MS is a business like any other. At launch they are going to go after the early adopters which are the core gamers. The guys they need to try to convince to buy an X1 instead of PS4 or at least along with a PS4. Shortly thereafter they will be going after the early majority which starts to get into the demos that Martin talks about. The late majority will follow based more on falling prices. I think MS will struggle here due to the fees on used games.
@uklegendkiller I have to second that. My gaming experience has shown that I often really enjoy the games that Kevin V rates high. This isn't always the case with other reviewers. So either Kevin and I have similar taste in games or his reviews are consistent with what gamers expect out of games. I wasn't even considering this game, but now that Kevin rated it a 9, I'll probably have to pick it up.
@Rakasasha @ivankuchercokov @snova9308 @harndoogle Luke 19:27. It is a parable. Jesus often taught in this manner. Not to be taken literally. It is a reference to the ability of a Christian to teach his followers to bring others to follow Christ as well. And those who rebel and do not come to Christ are doomed to eternity in Hell (the reference for slaughter). Like many verses in the Bible, if you take it out of the context in which it was written, it does not make sense.
@SuperDutchy @ck10304 No. You're missing the point. It doesn't matter if he was joking or not. If you are in the public eye, you have to be conscious of what you say and how it could come back to bite you. (Eg. professional athletes) Even if he was joking which I am still skeptical of, it was extremely irresponsible.
