    Default Boycott over the 360 inspired nerfing of the PS3 version?

    Who's going to skip FFXIII and go straight to vs XIII?

    I buy games that I think I will enjoy, and don't buy those which I don't think I will enjoy. If I didn't buy a game because I thought it could have been made better in some way I wouldn't own any games.

    I'm actually starting to wonder if that is just a rumor cause with the exception of that blog post Dreddz found, I have yet to see any other article detail the same information given.

    Why boycott it for this silly reason to begin with, I'd rather boycott it for more practical reasons like the fact the game looks utterly ridiculous and uninspired. (the sad thing is I'm still not sure if I'm joking about this statement or its my actual opinion)

    Anyone who wants to boycott can go ahead and do that, I'm just to sit back and enjoy my copy of XIII when it comes out.

    I can't see the logic in it.

    Boycotting the PS3 version = more sales for the 360 version = Square making more games for the 360 in future = OH DEARS. If Versus sells more than XIII does on the PS3, I think they will just take the view that people who own both consoles prefer games to be on the 360.

    How about demonstrating against your local government for whatever skullduggery they are up to instead of taking video games too seriously?

    1. If they keep it a PS3 exclusive, they lose lots of potential money, and all the 360 players would lose out on a (probably) good game.

    2. If I boycot the game, I lose out on a (probably) good game.

    3. Source on nerf? (except the graphical nerf. I mean, only FF-noobs and graphics whores care about those, RIGHT?!) What exactly is being nerfed, do you even know?

    The only thing that seems to have been 'nerfed' if you can call it that, is the multiple discs caused problems with quest's, and had to be limited to certain discs.

    On the PS3, however, that problem didn't exist. However the game was altered on the PS3 so taht the quests could only be done during certain portions of the game in order to keep it on par with 360.

    However, tis only a rumour as of now. While if it's true, it would piss me off, I'm still not boycotting the game, I think it might turn out alright.

    Yeah I've *heard* that too. However, I don't take much notice of such things until I've seen a solid source for it. If it turns out to be true, it might be a minor annoyance because I like games to be a bit non-linear. In this case though, I suspect this isn't a major reason why the OP would want to boycot it. Then again, it's hard to know, cause he didn't really give a good reason why he's doing it anyway.

    I don't know what any of this means, but that was probably mean, Vyk. This is me telling you that if you are mean then I will be mad! And there will be wrath!

    Pointless boycot is pointless.
