I bet I'd actually agree with this one.

Still, I'll pass.

His game reviews are generally bad with only one exception.

Yeah, I remember pretty much having the exact same thought process as him during that scene.

If the rest of the review keeps up that quality, it's looking like it'll surpass his reviews of 8 and X. And that's a pretty big compliment!

Argh, well tag anyway, but why hasn't he done more of his FFX 1 review (or did he and its not on tgwtg.com)?

He finished his review for FFX. He did the final part last year in December. I'm pretty sure he put everything on TGWTG.

The finale is on TGWTG, but it's in spoony's review section. not his FFX section.

Ahh okay. I only watched the 2 parts in that section so I'll have to catch the rest

The problem I have with his reviews(and he's not alone in this) is that he adds in so much stupid s*** that has nothing to do with the game.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Do you mean the 'backstory' stuff? He said he was going to cut down on that for this one. Although the end of part 1 doesn't fill me with hope.

This is probably the first review of his I'll ever agree with.

Well, I expect it to be amusing and entertaining regardless of that, since I thought the same of his FF8 and FF10 ones despite being a big fan of both games.

I'm Sorry, when the heck has Doug done that more than once this year? You Mean Linkara?

Linkara's probably the worst for it, yeah. When you have to release videos that don't review anything solely to explain the 'plot' of your other videos, that's a step too far I'd say.

Nostalgia Chick is absolutely the worst at it.

At least Linkara only spends at max 5 mins trying to flesh out his " storyline " in his reviews and they're normally only in the beginning or end.

Nostalgia Chick does entire EPISODES of her ****in fat friend's storyline. Does she even review stuff anymore? I tried watching that one she just did about Little Mermaid cause I wanted to laugh at her horrible opinions but had to shut it off the moment her " team " came into the scene.

Great game, best battle system in the series. Also fanservice isn't a bad thing in my eyes., but whatever. If you're gonna make a class system, I am damn glad the party is full of hot chicks as opposed to Galufs or Onion Knights. Much bigger motivation to try out all the classes! :D

Galufs are not sexy

but 14 or less thats a no

Man, I started watching the FFX review. Ignorance, faulty reasoning, ignoring vital stuff, etc. all around. Who likes these kinds of reviews?

His reviews are amusing, but you can definitely tell he's determined to bash the game no matter what. I genuinely hope that nobody has ever taken his reviews seriously.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

He hates on FFX because he hates the plot and characters and he continues to say what a miserable game it is based on plot/characters alone pretty much. He acknowledges he likes the gameplay for the most part (except blitzball) but he obviously doesn't bring that up too much since that wouldn't justify his hatred of the game as a whole.

Still, much as FFX is one of my fav games, I enjoyed his review a lot. I never take comedy video reviewers seriously, like Yahtzee or Critic. It's just trying to find all faults with the game to be funny.

--

Oh, I like comedic reviews (e.g. Yahtzee) and all, but not when they are filled with inaccuracies. (Though I admit, it was somewhat amusing and only the beginning of his review was annoying)

Bashing the story and characters and voice acting of FFX seems accurate to me.

it's still justified because FF games are mostly based on their plot/characters, too many long cutscenes to ignore it if the gameplay is good. it's like MGS but worse in every way pretty much

and whoever said FFX-2 besaid is better is a bad person

Wait, Paine is literally a female Squall?

Lightning is no longer the laziest character design.
