Or maybe they genuinely thought it was a really good game and decided to share that opinion, instead of simply going against the grain for the sake of going against the grain. #1.1
But cosplay isn't always about having an amazing costume or acting exactly like the character or "extensive research on the evolution of the hand-and-a-half sword and heater shields".
Sometimes people just do it for fun. They just like dressing up, or going to a con, or taking photos dressed as their favorite characters. Which is what some people (like the commenter at Kotaku) seem to have missed. #1.3.3
It's crazy to think that a game can sell so many copies and still be considered a flop. If games are costing more and more to make each generation, how many copies will need to be sold in the next decade or so in order for them to be considered successes? Something in the game industry needs to be changed if this trend continues. Too many great games are being called failures because they didn't meet a certain (usually ridiculous) number of sales. #11
Have you even played the game EbeneezerGoode? Those first moments in Columbia, where you are able to freely walk around and take-in the beautiful city-scape, are absolutely gorgeous. The colors really pop out at you and look absolutely stunning. There's nothing "garish" about it.
Dare I say it, it's one of the most beautifully designed worlds I have ever seen in a game. #4.4.5
Damn, I hope they really don't think that consoles and console gamers are to blame for their lack of sales. If they do, then that just goes to show how little they are paying attention to their fans' feedback.
I wonder if their opinion will change once FFX HD is released? Maybe then they will realize that gamers ARE still interested in buying their games...as long as those games are good. #1.1.2
But how many games with male leads sell just as badly? Just walk into any game stores and you'll see shelves and shelves of games with both male and female protagonists that either didn't sell well, went straight to the bargain bin, or are games you've just never heard of.
And I'd be willing to bet their sales had nothing to do with what gender the protagonists were, and more to do with the quality of the game and/or the amount of marketing and money that went... #2.2
I know it's not a good idea for anyone to base their buys off reviews, but when a game is getting scores in the 1/10 - 3/10 range, it's usually pretty telling what sort of quality the game will be.
It's not just a bad game, it's flat-out broken. #4.2
I'm glad they ended up changing Aerith's voice actress. She sounded great in Crisis Core, and pretty decent in Kingdom Hearts 2. I don't know what the hell they were thinking with her bland emotionless voice acting in KH1. #3.1

You forgot to add "in my opinion". #1.1.3
