so basically Rase, your argument is the old "less is better and is OK"

I love FFX to death and that was linear as hell.

I also love FFX, and there is a big difference. On FFX you could revisit areas. The whole game could be revisited and explored. There were tons of stuff to find. XIII isn't just "linear" it is LITERALLY 1 line for 20 hours and more, with a brief respite "calm lands" like area, minus the minigames and sidequests.

FFX's linear nature is in no way analagous to FFXIII's. If it was, I would not be here arguing why XIII is inferior.

Metal Gear Solid had a lot of cutscenes, no side-quests, no towns, etc etc. I hope you're not suggesting MGS is a bad game.

MGS is not a JRPG. FFXIII is supposed to be and has taken away many of the things that define it as such. MGS4 was a bad game yes. MGS1,2,3 were very good games.

To be frank, I have said what I wanted to on this, and imho, people who have read all the reviews and still buy it in droves, deserve what they get :P
