the characters comment obviously the opinion of one person:

"strong quartet of heroes give it tons of heart."

"By the end, Noctis' gang are three of the most well-drawn, fully-developed characters in Final Fantasy history"

"One of the most memorable parties ever to grace a Final Fantasy game"

"Final Fantasy XV’s characters are my favorite in the series"

"A surprisingly likable cast"

"And then you have the story itself, a rambling Boys’ Own romp with unusually strong characters and at times even Shakespearean poignancy."

to edit, often I find those who throw the shallow remark out there are pretty shallow themselves :)

No hand holding here. I thought DS 2 was by far the easiest game out of the 3 souls games. There are many methods to ramp up the difficulty for the more experienced players.

I thought this review (as others have noted) was a big whinefest, the souls series is not for everyone.

Anyone who fails to find the satirical value of Bound by Flame needs to find a new line of work.

coming from someone who doesnt know who the hell they are talking to, really bright comment.

Gamespot & Polygon have "agendas" that I dont agree with, if this was a Japanese game it would have received a 6.

I think its sad that they don't reduce scores for US games with this kind of complaint like they do Japanese games. Arthur Gies actually thinks Killer is Dead content is worse than GTAV. If you are going to have standards, apply them across the board.

@push88 I agree totally, I just did get it either...

I disagree with the choice, I believe exclusives should only get the "best xbox/ps3/wii game" award. Basically, gamespot is crapping on xbox/wii/pc users.
