Final Fantasy XIII-2 Can Still Suck My @#$%
Just in case anyone was wondering. I mean, sure the new trailer from PAX looks all right — I mean, it has towns to explore, actual people in the towns to talk to, and a moogle that turns into a compound bow, all of which would have excited the shit out of me… had it been part of the magnificent pile of shit that was FF13 which broke my heart. Now, it just makes me mad. Mad I wasted 25 hours of my life playing a shit game that was only half a game, and now the actual game appears to finally be coming out next year. I never thought I’d refuse to buy a Final Fantasy game on principle — I thought I’d always buy them on principle — but here I am. No wonder I drink so much.
