You had... a very different experience than I did.

We all have our own experiences, don't we? As Tarkovsky said, "A book read by a thousand different people is a thousand different books," regardless of the immutability of the content itself. I think it's always good to have differing opinions at one's disposal since each has its own insight, even giving insight to the other opinion. Although if you have fond memories of the game, I'd strongly recommend against revisiting it and putting it under much scrutiny. Goodness knows I've had that sting enough times, even recently with a non-video game work.

also emp gave chrono cross and final fantasy tactics a 1/10 and 4/10 respectively so don't let me skip in line at the gallows jk

I also bashed Doom 3, Metal Gear Solid and L.A. Noire. I meant every word, and apologize for nothing.

Chrono Cross was the worst, though.


For us. For them. For you.

The thing with those Emp opinions though, is that they're wrong. There's a reason that after last year he started calling himself the Site King of Hot Takes.


I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

Well, I enjoy a deviant opinion even if it's nothing like mine, since it challenges me to rethink my own and address theirs, although I usually don't do so by talking to them, because I don't want to get into arguments about video games on the internet.

Incidentally, when it comes to making a review, if I like the game, I try to write my review first, then check negative and positive ones to see if I missed anything. If I disliked the game, I check other opinions first to check if some sort of bias or oversight on my part is being made before I cement that by writing a whole review.
