It looks like they got in trouble for wanting to make a good action game with a strong story, and then throwing in half-baked RPG stuff onto it. Which is pretty much the problem with the FF7 remake too.

To be fair, its a common problem for action RPGs.

Apparently there's a single review out of Eurogamer that gave it a 60 for being too white. Remove that and it's actually doing quite a bit better in aggregate scores.

Nah there's 3 sites that gave it a 60 now.

But wow there's quite a few 100/100 scores to scroll through before you see the lower scores pop up

Their reasoning was bullshit, too. I mean, I can understand wanting more diversity in a video game...but that being the major reason for dropping the score by *40* points? Seems just a tad excessive to me.

I hate that I can't edit quoted posts into my messages.

There are a ton of 8/10s and 9/10s, too. This is shaping up to be the best mainline FF released since...what, X?

Reading through it, that review has several odd complaints. Like he seems bothered by the fact that the game is longer than an action game?

Where many hack-and-slash games can be polished off in 10 hours, FF16 stretches well beyond 30, even if you ignore the bulk of the sidequests, and it takes a while to get at the combat system's intricacies. The game teems with playtime-padding scraps against blameless wildlife and generic soldiers.

Yeah, they were just looking for ways to reason why they trashed the game with a 60 score, because they knew that "because only white people" wasn't going to fly for a drop of that magnitude.

I don't normally jump to defend games like this that I haven't fully played, but c'mon. This was laughable.

Soken is the best composer for a SE RPG series since Uematsu, no joke. I just hope he lives long enough to keep making music for awhile, because cancer is a bitch.

Usually when you see really low scores for a popular game that's otherwise highly reviewed it's a result of reviewer having some sort of bias, be it thinking the game is too white or an outlet getting say a person who dislikes a genre to review a game in that genre anyways.

Usually anything lower than a 7/10 is pretty sus and probably a person who shouldn't be reviewing that game.

Anyway, I got nothing but respect for his dedication to his craft. From what I understand, the entirety of either FFXIV: Endwalker's OST or FFXVI's OST was composed from his hospital bed while undergoing treatment. Dude is a beast.

I really don't get the point in buying an Xbox if you have a gaming PC. PS5, Switch, these I understand but Xbox? Just seems redundant.

I have a regular Xbox One. Not S/X or Series S/X. Just the base model. I use that to play games with a couple of my friends who don't own a pc. Plus the Xbox Game Pass is brilliant. PC Game Pass is a fucking disaster. I can't tell you how bad PC Game Pass is. Nothing is updated, nearly every game I've played on PC Game Pass is riddled with game breaking bugs that even the developers have blamed on my computer rather than just fix the problem in the first place.

Not joking, I sent an email to the developers of Super Lucky Tale via their feedback forums and they said to me "it's probably your computer". Meanwhile if I bought the same game on Steam it would be fixed and playable.

If it does all that does is shows reviewers for having biases, a lot of the complaints they have for FFXVI apply to TotK just as much or even more.
