I'm not taking an L for shit. However, I've vowed not to special fellow out, so I'll keep it short.
Kotaku calls FF12 the 4th worst in the series: http://kotaku.com/5979711/lets-rank-the-final-fantasy-games-best-to-worst[
Haha Kotaku is your souce? The thing you use to back up an already dumb argument. And it's an article by Jason Schreier. A dude who also dosen't like critical darling Xenoblade. Also did you even bother to actually read the article? Apparently not. Since I'm not an idiot. Allow me to highlight some important things.
Remember Vaan? Me neither. FFXII is best described as a single-player MMORPG, which might be why it ripped most of its plot from Star Wars and most of its characters from a Disney movie. (Vaan is Aladdin. Balthier is Jack Sparrow.) Still, the world is sweeping and lovely, and the combat system is brilliant: you can test out your AI programming skills using what the game calls Gambits, or actions that you can assign to your characters based on certain conditions. You could make one hero cast a heal spell as soon as someone loses more than half of their health, for example. The combinations aren't quite endless, but they're a great deal of fun.
Oh wow, the game is actually still a fantastic game and this isn't even the better version of the game. His problems are the story and even then I find his criticisms lame. Really, Vaan is like Aladin? Wow, that was the point behind his design and conception! The Star Wars comparison is always lame. FFXII dosen't take place in a world like Star Wars. People's comparisons to Star Wars are so shallow. Oh it has the word Empire in it. Except, the Empire in FFXII isn't actually bad. It's an actual republic until Vayne does some things, but Vayne's goals aren't world domination. He wants to free the world from being controlled from background forces. Except, he's kind of a dick about it. The entire game has a theme about fighting Destiny. Something Star Wars does not explore. Ashe is not at all like Liea. Oh it has some similar airship fights that invoke Star Wars, but every fanciful dogfighting thing made today would be inspired by Star Wars. Oh Balthier(who is'nt at all like Jack Sparrow, what a dumb point to the point that I'm not sure Jason actually got the character) and Fran remind people of Han Solo and Chewie. Yes, because Star Wars invented the Rogue archtype.
Either way, it's the 4th worst FF but apparently a good game. Good reading comprehension there Walrus. It's almost like Jason is saying all the FF games are mostly good....
FF12 musters only a 7.8 user metacritic score: http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-2/final-fantasy-xii
You know you're an idiot when your using metacritic, but you're even more of one when you don't use it correctly.
7.8 is green. 7.8 after 791 reviews? Well I don't need to explain mathematics to you, but that's a good average. According to this that means the game on more then average is well reviewed.
By the way FFXII has an 92 critic score. I guess we should ignore that one right?....
Hey what else has good user scores on metacritic?
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/steinsgatehttp://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/hyperdimension-neptunia-rebirth1http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/hyperdimension-neptunia-rebirth2-sisters-generationI'm hope you're happy being in league with your fellow moe gamers. Should play some of their games because apparently they are good. According to you right?
I also guess this means Halo is terrible.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox/halo-combat-evolvedSo is Modern Warfare 2. People really hate it.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2Code Geass musters a 9.1 user metacritic score: http://www.metacritic.com/tv/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion
And an 8.8 on IMDB: [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0994314/]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0994314/
So Evangelion is good right?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112159/A bunch of "moe" and "otaku bait shows" also have good user scores. I guess those are good to right?
Came in #1 on this user-voted list of mecha anime: http://www.ranker.com/list/best-mecha-anime/ranker-anime[
Evangelion is number 2. With no show other then the first Gundam being old or outside of the mainstream US anime fan. Well gee, I guess this random list totally means something.
Here since I have to actually explain why Code Geass sucks I will. And I wont use a bunch of random lists voted by the same people you yourself decree as human waste because they spend the time buying body pillows while also voting on pointless list while jacking off to said list.
Code Geass is one of the most commercialized thoughtless shows of the modern era. Gundam SEED was super popular. Death note is super popular. So they mixed them and every anime cliche into one and what do you know! Everyone liked it.
So we get the Kira Yamato vs Athrun Zala relationship, but we need to make Kira have a an angle like well Kira. So we make him this morally ambiguous bad guy, except he's not! He's actually all about justice! Except he's not, He's actually out for revenge! Except he's not, he's actually conflicted and sad and has daddy issues. Lulu is not a deep character, he's a bunch of character ideas that people like to latch unto as things that make a deep character, but there's no consistency. He's a walking angst ridden psychopath genius heartfelt sympathetic menicial sorrowful anime pretty boy. He's everything an anime whats it's protagonist to be. He's everything anime fans eat up, but he is no actual character. He's fun to watch that's for sure, but that's because this show throws whatever it needs to be amusing.
Susaku is boring except for the random "oh you killed your father" thing that really never goes anywhere and is thrown in to make him seem deep and more edgy, because thats what this show tires hard to be. Edgy.
The rest of the characters are just kind of lame. Diethard, crazy and obsessive, except he's not because the plot said to in the end. Shirly, man what a boring female character that adds nothing but cute fangirl wishfulfilment. "OH I LOVE YOU LULU", but we can't be together because well you're supposed to not commit to any women because well ANIME. Don't want to piss off the fangirls. Whatever you get written out of the plot anyway, except you get brought back, but then you die anyway. Why? because Lulu needs angst.
I mean the show is so insane with how stupid it goes.
Actually Lulu's dad isn't a douche, but he is. So is his mom that we spent all this time looking for. And man the plot behind her was so convultued that I can't even detail how dumb it was. All that generic my intro to philosophy talk of power and how men aren't equal was actually a lie, no because actually Lulu's dad has an evengelion plot. No he wants to unite everyone actually. Foreshadowing? Whats that. Dude's gotta kill god(huh) and unite all of mankind. Dude's Gendo without all the well grounded character development. Oh by the way Lulu then geases god and says fuck you old people and you being old. Man what a deep story. Teenagers are more progressive then stuffy old people. Haven't seen that in every fucking anime about teenagers.
Man The Black Knights are so smart and Loyal to Lulu, which makes since because you know he's done everything for them. Except for the fact that I guess it just took some convincing from their most deadly enemy that Lulu is actually lying. What did he do? He used his power on a teenage girl and some other people. By the way, he used that to help the Black Knights. Oh but hey I guess we should unconditionally listen to out enemy. Time to kill Zero. Man what a great twist. The Black Knights are actually morons.
Hey lets stage an entire episode where we make Jeremiah the Terminator and he tries to kill everyone including the maid who for no reason is actually a ninja. Oh by way he was doing this to prove he was loyal. WTF?
Hey remember that explosion in Tokyo that killed many people. Except not Guilford or Nunnley because reasons.
Gotta love Schneizel's who's character changes from scene to scene. Nice guy one scene, says menacing things later, nice guy another scene, shows extreme concern for his team, then shoots his sister in the back(not dead all of a sudden a few scenes later), pushed for peace, then threatens the world with nuclear weapons while also killing off his entire royal family? Why? Really just because. He had to be the bad guy after the plot moved away from Charles. There's no actual character motivation or consistency. What great storytelling!
Remember those Chinese characters. They sure added to the plot! That guy had a disease, I'm sure that would play into the story.
frogetten after that one arc.
Man it made so much sense to have an incredibly important world political meeting at a......................high school. Why? Because anime.
I'm sorry, Code Geass is mind-nummingly stupid. It is super fun to watch and the action and voice acting is super fun. I've watched it so many times. But it is very stupid. To see someone unironicly think it's good and as good as GoT is hilarious.
Go fuck yourself, Rahx, you useless waste of carbon
