Yeah. I'm aware of how much these can go for on Ebay. It's really ridiculous.
Having said that, a ton of shit every day goes for an absurd amount of money in auction.
[quote name='Mr.']I feel dirty for having this game pre-ordered. I only did it for that Trade 2 for $60 at EB a couple of weeks ago... and the CE comes with the four-disc soundtrack. I hate FF13 as much as the next guy, but it seems like they're changing things up with a more open game.[/QUOTE]
Thing is, they're not even changing it up THAT much. Look how different X-2 was to X. That was change, and at the end of the day I could actually look past the cheesy dresses and convoluted plot, to a gameplay system that was FUN.
They're basically re-releasing FFXIII with cinematic cutscenes and dialogue that I wouldn't even wish on my most hated JRPG fans.
I've owned most of the FF titles before this. I followed the series religiously, but after XIII I had to open my eyes and draw the line. I told myself if I buy this game, then that's the catalyst for the future of Final Fantasy - that they'll continue to head in this direction and I only shamefully encouraged it.
[quote name='dotCody']What's even more silly is that people still bought MW2. Twice.
If ya know what I mean.

Sure, and I agree. MW3 is basically MW2. Thing is that Call of Duty is on the level of Pokemon and World of Warcraft now - the audience it caters to is soo grand (gaming experts, and especially Activision, know this) that it doesn't matter if it's not a significant leap in change from the last one, because it's a proven formula that the casual all the way down to the hardcore can still appreciate and get hooked onto.
[quote name='dotCody']Why all the hate for FFXIII? I thought it was good...not great,
but far better than other games.[/QUOTE]
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask 'what games?' before ripping you apart for such blasphemy.
