As a few people have stated, sometimes it takes awhile for a game to pick up. I also have my stubborn streak that tells me if you spend $40 dollars on a game you could at least finish the damn thing. I usually make my final verdict of a game after the 2nd playthrough cause the new game smell wears off and you can pay better attention to details.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
Yeah guys you obviously don't hate these games you've played to completion. If you hate the game you play for an hour. If you play for 15 hours or play through FFX three times, or get to Penance, you're either exaggerating or an idiot, because you either did like it or you voluntarily did something you don't like for dozens of hours
As for X, my initial feeling when I completed it was meh, it wasn't bad just not stellar either. It felt pretty average to me. It was during my 2nd playthrough that I began to notice how bad the story and gameplay really was. I stuck with it and started work on all the side stuff I missed out on the 1st time through. When I 1-hit K.O.ed the Final Aeon, I knew something was terribly wrong.
I also never realized how bored I kept getting throughout the game waiting for something to happen. This rarely happens to me in RPGs especially not throughout the game. After my second playthrough I realized I really didn't like X and it had very few redeeming qualities.
My third playthrough was only done to help my GF get through the game. She needed help and it had been a few years so I started a new file to remember things again. This was back in December. I just finished the game a few weeks ago cause she wanted to see the ending. We both agreed it was a pretty bad game overall. Funny since she adores X-2...
I enjoy elements of the game, it had some good ideas they were just horribly executed. I would also be lying if I said it was the worse game ever. I've played too many bad games to give it that dubious title, but I would easily say its the worst main line FF game though, no hesitation there. Considering how many quality titles they released in the PS1 era, to make this slop and say its innovative and new is a slap to the face of fans.
That's funny, I seem to remember a certain message where you claim to actually enjoy it!
I also hate the fact that overall, X became the model of how SE did most of their games in the PS2 era. Only in the last few years have they started to make quality titles again and I find it amusing that these titles are not associated with too many of the core FF team.
