why was 13 bad

please tell me

the characters were all terrible. hope was a whiny bitch for most of the game, snow is just in your face about how hes so amazing, lightning was just...a bitch lol and that other chick dont even remember her name vannil or something, was just annoying. only person from that game i liked was Sazh.

the mechanics of the game where good, but those characters just flat our ruined it for me. just personal opinion though.

Bad gameplay... bad story.. bad characters... no open-map... game was overall shitty.

I think it's too much of a trend to bash EVERY aspect of XIII nowadays. Story wasn't that bad. Gameplay really wasn't that bad. The cast and the linear maps were definitely a bust, but I think it's about time we move on.

13 was legit....sounds like these ppl is qqin about gameplay too hard =(, storyline was legit, i wont lie i hated snow and hope was just a whiny bitch cuz guess what hes a fucking kid and his mom got merkd for nothing. u wuld be a whiny bitch too TRUST ME

only thing that pissed me off about 13 was how linear that game was, i was like wait where the fuck are the towns at....where the fuck was the airship....no exporation, straight forward game...heard xiii-2 is about to change the field, i hope Hope isn't a little bitch anymore, considering he is grown up in this game...

The battlde system in 13 is retarded.

Why not keep it like 10 with better gfx/new story?

because Enix decided join Square just so they could ruin the FF franchise obv

So true.

Enix did a superb job with the Star Ocean series I thought. Niether of the two were necessarily evil 'til they merged
