Glad to see Final Fantasy XIII-2 is doing well.

Boycott FF13-2 if you really love the FF series

Ranma14491d ago

Because if you buy a game that got 53/100 from most Japanese reviewers (thats the average).

Then you just promoting crap. And SE will continue to make crap.

dark-hollow4491d ago

So...one site is "most japanese reviewers"??

Ranma14491d ago

Yes because those are user reviews, average user reviews of japanese gamers

256bit4491d ago

wow looks 360 users really dont care for jrpgs

Slade4491d ago

they dont care about most games.

Bundi4491d ago

Most games you say? Because on this chart there 12 xbox 360 games. Thats 12 out of 30, more than any other platform. How is it they buy the most games (various, not just quantity) if they don't care about most games? I'll wait. . .
While you're at it you'll explain why most multiplat games in general have sold more on 360 since the start of the generation.

Slade4490d ago

I should of said most genres........

They are a simple minded bunch not wanting to play anything hard. just your basical casual, shooter, or action game

banjadude4491d ago

Good reminder, I need to place my Diablo 3 collector's edition order down.

banjadude4490d ago

I just hope I can place one soon, apparently it's been "selling out" quickly around my area :S

OcularVision4490d ago

Sold out in every retailer here in Canada.

Megaman_nerd4491d ago

Xenoblade is doing bad while crappy games like FFXIII-2 are doing well. Am I in the twilight zone or something?

Vynzent4491d ago

Xenoblade is doing just fine, the top competitors have the quality to be where they are.

Well, except "you-know-which-one," ; god only knows why so many people are wasting their money like that

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

thorstein88d ago

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

shinoff218388d ago

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.
