For me, Joystiq falls under the "not to be taken seriously" category right next to Destructoid.

I watched the final ending of this game and thought what it does when that happens is pretty awesome.

" By continuing this thread, does this count as beating a dead horse? Destructoid just put out a post about Nier getting DLC and had this to say (emphasis mine):
 

You'll notice Destructoid does not have a Nier review yet. This is because it's one of the most exhausting games ever made, straddling the line between acceptable and terrible at every moment. It's not a game you either love or hate, it's a game you either hate or forgive, and we're not sure if we're able to forgive a terrible fishing minigame, endless fetch quests, forced and repeated text adventure sections, and some of the worst backtracking we've seen this generation.

Again another show of people not understand the fishing mini game which can be done in under 30 seconds.  "

here is the problem i have with this "review". 

1. almost every quest you have done up to that point has taught you to go to the big red X on the minimap.
2. he was not at the red X.
3. this is the only part that forces you to fish.
4. even if you don't catch the fish by the 7th try it gives you a free fish.

@ryuken: I never did believe you had written a review xD I thought the slight sarcasm would come through without me writing "review", but I guess I'm just retarded that way. But sure, I can relate to what you're saying :p 

Although I have to agree that I can't really ask that the game is better than it is, I do believe that I have every right to be pissed that square once again managed to squeeze a full retail price out of me with another quite horrible game outside of the FF-franchise, much like with "Last Remnant". I'll stop bothering you now though :p

Learn2Read is the Left 4 Dead prequel that never was. "

Giant Bomb does this with about 75% of new releases. It's not a big deal.

@ryuken: You never know; you might actually like Last Remnant. If you can get it at a low price you might want to consider it I guess. Thing is though... The problems I had with that is not at all like the ones I had with Nier. While I do think the annoying main character and awkward dialogue would bore me to death, I simply never got far enough to find out.

The graphics are nothing to write home about, and yet the developer has found a way to keep the game at a good stable 40 fps in every in-engine cutscene that involves anything worth watching. Also, the combat is beyond incomprehensible, and explains close to nothing. To put it this way: there is a command named something like "play it by ear" which is.... well.... Random xD If anything it was almost worth buying it to see the ridiculous running movement your character has. He moves almost twice as far as his stride would have you think and the result was that watching this while running in circles took up around 25% of the little time I bothered investing in it.

I have had a lot of laughs from the little I have played of Last Remnant though.
