I'm surprised no fuss was made about me including a minigame when there was fuss about stand-alone card games. Clear indication that everyone accepts FF10 to be the greatest game ever made.

Is this also where I cajole people to include classics such as Pong, DK64 and Jill of the Jungle to their lists too?

Not everyone. I find the game to be overhyped, bordering on being outright bad. Just lost the energy to get outraged about it a long time ago.
Yea I could live without the entire FF series. Not even in my top 100.
My rabble :(

Hype is a dumb reason to hate a game, a good reason to hate yourself. You will ALWAYS be disappointed in a game you play up. Period. I had no hype for X, first FF game ever and I enjoyed the shit out of it.

Do you know how many people on MS full sphere'd this game?

That's great that you enjoyed it. I didn't.

There are many reasons why I didn't, but don't feel like going on a rant about it. Given my opinions though, it only makes sense that I would view the game as over hyped among other things. It's not a dumb reason to hate the game if there are other reasons that I don't like it, regardless of whether or not I've stated them.
Overhype is still such a stupid reason. A game is as good or bad as a game is, how much someone else pumps it up does not change the quality.
how dare people have opinions on things that disagree with mine

Cheaper systems, cheaper games, more backwards compatibility, real emulation, long-stranding franchises.

The games have more advantages in terms of # players than anything on Playstation, XBox and even PC.
