					<description><![CDATA[If they had listened to all of us and they had done in FF XIII the same they are doing with this game about the side quests, FF XIII would have been an awesome game. Open world was necessary in FF XIII but instead we got a very long highway full of enemies with a small orange point at the end. Everything was even more clear thanks to the small minimap showing us the perfect straight line towards the end. That is FF XIII from chapters 1 to 11, and there are 13 but the last one is after you beat the game in chapter 12...and basically nothing happens except the new crystarium level.]]></description>

STFU, and after all that Lightning Returns still won&#039;t be as good as Skyrim, and you know it.  It&#039;ll be mediocre with very good production values.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The only way they&#039;ll ever beat Skyrim is if they released a PC version with full mod support.


The awesome thing about Skyrim is that while it&#039;s an awesome game in its own right, the possibilities you can do with Skyrim are literally limitless because you can play with content made by fellow Elder Scrolls fans.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sure that four continents have been planned in the game since the beginning? But details about the last continent are only just emerging. I wouldn&#039;t say this is a last minute decision to add open world content. I&#039;m quite sure, based on the feedback from XIII and XIII-2&#039;s linearity (XIII-2 might not be linear but the environments were quite small and closed off), that decision would&#039;ve been made quite early in development. 

I think people might be taking things a bit too literally. I really don&#039;t think SE genuinely expects to &quot;beat Skyrim&quot; in a game with a time limit.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m just hoping that Final Fantasy wont become all about boobs... i mean boobs are cool and all... but its always been about creativity and Plot for me. they can save the Jiggling for other game series&#039;s. HOWEVER i cant say that they&#039;ll beat Skyrim - Since i havent had the chance to play it. But i think whether they DO or DON&#039;T beat it, is not the point. the point is, is that they intend to better the gaming experience so.... YAY]]></description>

Haha that&#039;s because you&#039;re talking to a real genius and not a newb typing away his life on the Internet.  By gullible I mean they&#039;re not playing real video games and they&#039;re most likely casual gamers who can&#039;t afford to do hardcore gaming so they only console game they buy is Skyrim or even get Call of Duty with it so they spend lotta time and don&#039;t waste money and spend the rest of their game on mobile devices, so they miss out on awesome game experiences and don&#039;t know a true game when they see it. In fact, my 14 year old sister fits that description perfectly. No lie. Now don&#039;t get me wrong,  I know many gamers out there play diiferent genres but this trend is growing as it currently stands. I tried playing Angry Birds and Temple Run but got bored very quickly. That&#039;s the problem: mobile games aren&#039;t built to last and games such as Skyrim don&#039;t have the appeal I require to get into a game, with one of the reasons being the immersion breaking character creation as it detracts from bthe plot and makes you feel insignificant since your character isn&#039;t the center of the game&#039;s universe. I know that sounds like a very stupid reason but it&#039;s one of my huge pet peeves so I can&#039;t play games where you can change the entire identity of your character at will. I found Skyrim lacking in lotta areas for me and couldn&#039;t get into it  as I said ststory matters to me so no matter how interesting the world is the story makes or breaks the game. Why do you think Bethesda has always put a ton of side quests in their games in comparison to the really short story? That&#039;s because they&#039;re not coherent storytellers, they only put in so much effort to slide by when they can give it more potential. Finally,  I don&#039;t know where you&#039;ve been living your whole life, but worldwide people use improper grammar whether on FB, Twitter or Instagram, most of the time being that they&#039;re just too lazy to speak proper. As for me, like I said this is internet so I don&#039;t bother much with proper grammar unless it&#039;s required for certain things, such as the explanation I am giving to you now. For the record, I don&#039;t have to act smart because I am already smart and smarter than you, unlike you. I actually know how to apply the video game knowledge I have gained over time and use it to my advantage as I update my mental database by looking up game news everyday. So go ahead and test me on any knowledge of gaming, if you yourself are a real gamer that is and prrove wrong or indicate why I have yet to prove myself right.OMG, even on the Internet I leave people stupefied by my opinions and lost as to what my message is, it&#039;s luck I am fucking cursed since every time I let one word slip anywhere everybody turns on their idiot mode to make me feel so special. Oh how adorable yet despicably cute it all is yet I don&#039;t need it and don&#039;t give a canniving fuck about it! Have a nice day]]></description>

Take it however you want, hardcore gaming is declining as long as mobile gaming is rising so there better be a turnaround this gen. Second,  you are SO  naive beyond your years. You&#039;re really gonna base my intelligence on whether my use of jargon makes sense to you?  Incase you don&#039;t realize every profession has jargon so using it actually makes someone intelligent if they use it in the first place. I actually am an intellectual. I actually look up game info everyday not only for the fun of it but because it&#039;s useful so I actually am intelligent about all this and know exactly what I am talking about, unlike you. Feel free to test my knowledge if those words alone don&#039;t satisfy your curiosity and make me seem dumb to you. Lastly,  I am actually going to high school while taking college classes for my computer science degree so I know more about this stuff more than you thought, whether I apply the buzzwords or not. Just because my username says Nintendo fan for life doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t know this stuff as well or more than you do, as I actually play other game consoles besides ones from Nintendo. If you really think my opinion doesn&#039;t make sense or has no merit that&#039;s your problem because as far as I am concerned I made perfect sense in the message I was giving. If the jargon is beyond your understanding don&#039;t bother reading my comment and attempt any interpretation that makes you look stubborn and ignorant. Okay? What part of my viewpoint on the subject makes no sense just because I used jargon? ]]></description>

LOL usually when a person claims to be a genius its a a good indicator that theyre actually a complete moron. Just because you didnt like Skyrim at all doesn&#039;t mean that anyone who does like it is some gullible gamer. I loved Skyrim because I just got lost in the world, not too many games have done that as well as skyrim for me. 
btw your grammar is horrible, so stop trying to act smart.]]></description>

Get a load of this guy.  

There are no &quot;hardcore games&quot;, only &quot;hardcore gamers&quot;. And hardcore gaming is not dying, at all. Also, you need to stop using buzzwords to seem intelligent to others. In this day and age, buzzwords only make you look like a tryhard, not an intellectual.]]></description>
