You really do act like a child when it comes to XIII. The first bullet point in your review damages your credibility because you can't seem to dislike or disagree with something without calling it a "turd." Sad.

XIII was a phenomenal game, and much better than "development hell fetch quest simulator the game."

There isn't a single area in which XV is better than XIII in, except maybe the main cast.
If you want a constructive dialogue, then its best not to come in with a self-righteous tone. I simply stated an opinion, it was uncalled for you to attack me personally because you disagree.

XV remembers that it's a game, and thus gave me something that actually had this thing called content, which means doing something more than babysit A.I. in combat, walk through linear corridors with no other options, and suffer through over-dramatic cutscenes.

XV at least tries to be interactive and keep the player involved, giving the player free agency to go through the story and immerse themselves at their own pace; not the perpetual moving forward by lack of options and a Datalog that describes the plot better, while failing to explain why you should care about anything, because the world is a shallow void the story never felt was worth really expending on in any meaningful way.

It gives you a cast that actually understands emotion and feeling and the subtlety of human interaction instead of long winded monologues and over dramatic poses and speeches. Its plot is rushed and simple, but at least it's coherent and doesn't need the Ultimania and an inevitable series of increasingly convoluted and terribly written sequels to explain everything.

Both are flawed games, but XIII doesn't have enough good qualities to help it shoulder the weight of those flaws like XV does.
