Okay, so most people who know me will know how much I can't stand this game. I literally hate it pretty badly and have ranted so many times about it. Reasons why I disliked it? Everything in the game basically. I just couldn't find a single thing to like, I even disliked the graphics because I felt they'd neglected everything else for them.
However, I posted on a thread a few hours ago and it got me thinking. I was never a big fan of XII and never finished it the first time I played it however I went back and replayed it recently - years after that first time - and I actually really enjoyed it. It's still not a favourite but I'd be happy to say that it's one of the best games I've played. It got me thinking, should I try XIII again? I hate the very idea of it, but despite that I do actually want to like this game, even with how much I think it's awful. I love the FF games and I like all the games apart from this one. I'd love to love it, I just don't know if it's possible. I never hated XII I just wasn't very excited about it, so I know that XIII would have to do so much more to turn me around than XII did. I still have my copy of XIII, I didn't get rid of it purely on principle that I'd wasted my money on it and it's a FF game. Also, if I played it this time and actually managed (even with how unlikely it seems to me now) to like it, it would mean I'd probably buy XIII-2 which I'd like to do, but with how much I loath XIII I have no interest in it.
I just worry that I won't last past the first hour and then I'll hate it even more (if that's actually possible). I wouldn't want to hate this game more than I already do (if that's possible) so am wondering if it's worth the risk? Also not to mention I'd have wasted a couple of hours of my life...
Thoughts?
