I have recently bought Lightning Returns and was disappointed when they announced PC version, but now I see, that PS3 version is way to go.
Original > cheap PC port.

P.C. This Andrea Ritsu gave 7,5 to Super Smash Bros and 1,5 to Natural Doctrine, I cannot take her reviews seriously.

ashen1223495d ago

2.5 just because bad resolution and framerate, overreacting much? don't get me wrong the game does suck tho lol

travisbitter3495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Easy port, shit results, that means close to ZERO effort. I think the result is quite accurate and deserved.

allgamespc20123495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

have you played it? its absoulutely and completely playable the way it is. it doesnt even look bad. you are just an entitled brat. there are issues, but its by far a much more competent port than ds1 or saints row 2.

not only that, but with nvidia control panel you can make some drastic improvements by enablign AF and AA along with other options. so please, before you make such stupid claims, play the game. yes, no 1080p sucks, but basing a review on technical aspects and not on the game itself, is just absolutely dumb. gmae hasnt even been out for 5 hours and theres already a whiny review.

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus134d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda133d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B132d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981132d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot132d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda132d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot132d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy132d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay132d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12134d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay132d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB133d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
