  OK.... So I Was Wrong

  If someone asked me if a Final Fantasy game would ever come to the 360, I would have said no. "But Will. What about XI?" That one doesn't count. Yes, it was a numbered entry, but it was not your traditional RPG Final Fantasy. Alright, so now I admit I was wrong. (And thanks to them I've lost a bit of meaning in my life..... not really, but you get the point ) FFXIII is coming to the Xbox 360, and while part of me is still really shocked, a huge part of me totally understands it.

  Square Enix hasn't had the best of years. Final Fantasy games, especially the numbered ones, take a long time to develop, and cost a lot of money. And.... Square can't survive forever by just updating games they made in the past 20 years (although they might make a killing off a remake of FFVII, but I'm so not going to start that). So, what's the best way to make more money? Having your game on multiple systems. Now Sony fanboys, don't get upset. If you can remember, Final Fantasy games first start out on Nintendo software. Then they moved to Sony. The move has happened before. Plus, the 360 has sold a crap load of units (everywhere but Japan). Therefore, millions of more people can have they're chance to play as characters with a questionable of fashion.

  There are a few things I'm worried about though. First, has Square Enix already start to port this engine to the 360? Today's trailer was really just footage of things we've seen the past 2 years. Second, could Versus XIII also be coming to the 360? I know they didn't say anything today, but we know that that game was put on hold. And last, is there going to be a guy that really looks like a guy in XIII? Just wondering.

  Merry Christmas Everybody!!!

  Yup, it's that special time of year. I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful day. Hopefully, for those of you that have a tree, it hasn't fallen on anyone. For some reason, this always happens with my family, but so far we're safe. To all those that don't celebrate Christmas or feel that it has become too commercial, I hope you have a great day anyway. Now, back to my warm delicious apple pie.

  You Guys ****!!!

  "You guys suck!!! That at least deserved a 9!!! You guys just hate (name system here)!! I totally hate you now!"

  I see this all the time. Everyone waits for that moment; the moment where the review is finally on the site. They take a look at the score, ignoring everything else. Then all hell breaks lose. Forums, chat rooms, responses become full of angry members of GameSpot (or any other site), all complaining about the score. The editors are called the biggest losers ever, and they should all be fired. No one bothers to read the actually read the review the editor spent so much time on; we want instant gratification, and reading is too time consuming. It happens every time, and it's getting on my nerves.

  You know, there are dozens of other sites that review games. Why are you just focusing on one site? You know, it's best to get information from as many sources as you can. We do it when researching or figuring out what should we buy (what that is, I don't know; you decide). GameSpot isn't the only review site. Stop complaining when they don't give a game the score you think it deserves. Move the mouse, type in an address, find a different source, and actually read the review. You might learn something.

  Second, most of the time, the review comes out before we are actually able to buy the game. Who are we to say that the game doesn't have the right score. Do we have physic powers that allow us to visualize what the final version will be? Do we think that since we played the demo or beta that we can instantly decide a games final score? No, we can't. So stop basing you're scores on stupid information. You just make yourself look like a fool.

  I could go on, but I think I've confused a ton of people. Or, many have stopped reading, realizing I'm talking about something they do all the time. Look, I just want people to actually play the game, the entire game, before giving their review/score. And make sure you actually explain why you came to this conclusion; "This game sucks," doesn't do it. Read around to get different opinions; Jeff isn't the only one who reviews games. Please, stop complain about the scores for Zelda, Halo, or Bioschock. Why? Because you guys are the ones that suck (well, some of you; the ones that actually read this, maybe not).

  I'm pretty sure that I didn't get my point across. And that I've pissed off several people. And that I'm going to get tons of negative feedback. OK, I know that last one won't happen.Stay silly you readers that have made it all the way to the end of this terrible blog. Thanks for wasting 5 minutes of your time. I need to work on my endings.

  P.S. Why do they edit out suck? Is it really that bad?
