@rogerpenna ya i loved sc2000 and 3000. Not sure how you can screw up simcity, but ya its EA, they have turded every classic game they control. wtf they did to Syndicate I still have no idea what that game was supposed to be.
Can't wait to see how badly they will screw up Mass Effect now that its fully in their hands... they'll probably turn the game into just a fps game and toss out all the other elements.
Im sure the brilliant minds at EA are thinking up ideas to remake the Ultima series and release it as a FPS game also to further stain another classic series. Lets shit on all the games we have control over, this is what we do.
This game still sounds crappy, but maybe other companies will learn from this to not have a constant online requirement for a single player game. EA on the other hand im sure will have learned nothing and will make this same mistake over and over.
i'm not a hardcore jrpg fan, but i've played a lot of them, probably at least 40+... and I can't believe a guy who hasn't played a Final Fantasy game before can be hired on a site that reviews games for a living, or even be giving a chance to review the jrpg genre without being a fan of it. Gamespot must have a hard time finding qualified people, their reviewers here are awful noobs.
Ok this is a bad game, but at least only have people who respect or actually like the genre they are reviewing or the reviews are meaningless crap. Its like having a FPS kid try to review a game like Civilization... they just don't get it and can't give a proper opinion on it.
Its fine and good this review was written with sentences and capitals, but i'd rather have an review written by someone who can barely type a sentence but has true experience and opinions rather then acting like a poser who likes games and playing a genre they don't like.
