Why the needless hate for a game that hasn't even been released yet?

Hey 10 had some great gameplay mechanics! It just happened to be the case that the plot was dry and the characters were dull.

Lol. No I'm not taking anyone's word for it. But I disliked 10 and 12, and seems to me this will be just as entertaining as those were.
Like I said about Heavy Rain, I'm tired of playing the same old games over and over with new colors. Make something creative or innovative and I'll spend my money and time on it.

FF13 is worth at least renting, the story is pretty good. I watched some weeabo kid play through the entire game.
It gets pretty repetitive, "run down path, get in fight, continue down path, get in fight, cutscene, boss, run down path"
One of the reasons i liked ff7-ff9 was the explorability in the game, everything was downhill for me after that.
So strange a feature, i like having an explorable world map. If there were a world map in ff10 it would have felt like 7-9, at least to me
As would ff13, gran pulse doesnt count as a world map in my eyes. At least the graphics are pretty good 8)
There is still hope for ffv13 however

Likewise. Pure turnbased and the ability to easily telegraph turns made for better battles, and offered the player scope to actually plan their strategies, rather than fumble around, hoping that Enemy X won't attack before Tifa gets fullcured or whatever. Status inflicting attacks actually worth using, enemies with intuitive and useful weaknesses, and cleaned up battle mechanics all made FFX a strong game.
On the other hand:

This. I quite enjoyed FFX from a gameplay perspective.
This is why I changed the battle system to "wait" in FF7.
Also, this "Heavy Rain" sounds a lot like a visual novel, except in 3D; it's quite intriguing.
Are there any H-scenes?

Well, their previous effort, Fahrenheit had even sex minigame. ;D I was surprised enough to almost miss it, before I realized it's an akshual QTE.
To prevent people getting the wrong idea; Fahrenheit is an excellent game. With the worst plot twist ever. But still excellent. And it's not sleazy or anything like that - it's simply aimed at adults.
Heavy Rain is probably the only PS3 exclusive I'll miss. It's too bad it won't be coming to PC.

Haha that reminds me of this optional sex mini game toward the beginning of God of War. The camera moves away as you get into bed with two prostitutes and you have to press the right buttons/spin around the analog stick at the right time n you get orbs at the end if you did good. o___o (Since when do prostitutes pay YOU?)

Since you became Kratos. ;D
Kratos - much like Chuck Norris - is different. It's only logical that prostitutes would pay him for the privilege. :-D

NPR just reviewed Heavy Rain, and their first sentence mentions FF7 :lol:

I agree that an explorable world map make a game seem so much better. When everything is set paths, it seems far to linear, and predictable. If there were a world map in FFX it would have been more fun to pilgrimage around Spira because you wouldn't have a set path, and not necessarily know where you're going the entire time. And be able to veer off into random areas. Sometimes you even find something new in those areas.

I kind of understand the linearity in ffx, as given summoners had been going on pilgrimages for near to a thousand years, the path they took was probably fairly well known. It would've been nice to have a bit more diversity, but at least vs. ff13, although you did always tend to go "forward" in ffx, not all the maps were straight lines

So, the Xbox360 port of FF13 is getting raped all over the internet (possible NSFW, and no, the game isn't getting literally raped ).
A lot of people are making a big deal of the fact that the game takes up 18GB across the three 360 discs compared to 38GB on one blu-ray. What none of them ever seem to mention is that the situation is worse than that: if they'd modded FF7 ;D, they'd know that a lot of that 18GB is redundant data that had to be repeated because it needed to be on the three discs. FF7 is, what, something like 1.6 GB across the discs? But it's really only about 2/3 of that, because everything except the movies has to be shared on all of the discs, resulting in hundreds of megabytes of redundant data. It seems that people commenting on this issue think that splitting a game over several discs is like splitting a .rar file: it isn't. Then again, I hear that PS3 games often have redundant data in order to lower the load times or some stupid shit like that...

So basically, the above told us that the PS3 is slightly better from a technical perspective? Someone should find that journo and welcome him to 2007 ; )

Well Squeenix made a big deal about both versions being equal, so it's rather amusing that they're not.
Also, multiplats are often better on the 360, for some reason (apparently it's easier to make games for it or something because the PS3 is weird). Bayonetta is a classic example of this.

Well I'm still getting FFXIII but what the hell is Heavy Rain exactly? I read the wiki and that NPR article Opine linked, but they both left me saying WTF?
