Phil, I was the same, I raged at the game due to how shit it was, Once i got past the first 2 hours or so it actually became "a game"....

Didnt look at it last night...... Might tomorrow night or so.

I'm hoping it gets a lot better once i get into it a bit more, only probably about 2 hours in. I just really miss the simple things like in FF8 where items were hidden everywhere and they didn't show up on screen with a big flashing "X" or something, you had to click it yourself if you thought an item was there. And the fact a map wasn't just a straight line. So far i have literally pressed forward the whole time on the joy stick.

I'm going to give you a spoiler but F**K it cos its true the game is very "walk straight" for about 20 hours but you guys need an incentive to play!

Once you hit the 20 hour mark in the game the second world opens up and you take on monster hunter side quests.

I have played around 21 hours or so and now I can say its FF all over again. Just very slow to reach that point in the game.

Why should it take 20 hours into the game before you can run around the world and hunt chocobos and do side missions..?

Who knows but square really pushing my patience in FFXIII.

All I can say it pays of, so for all you guys who dropped the pad at 20mins into the game don't play no more cos you got about 20 hours until it opens up haha

It's a shame the real game we have all been waiting is far into FFXIII, but damn you are missing out if you truly enjoy any FF and drop the pad before the second world.

I am going to tough it out and finish it..... dispite REALLY disliking the first 2 hours...

If they make Versus 13 this bad, I will probably never buy another FF game again...... unless its a remake/remaster of the old ones.

Oh i'm definetely going to stick with it, but 20 hours, god damn thats going to piss me off.

Honestly, remake FF7 and FF8 with modern graphics on PS3 and maybe chuck a couple of new things into it and you would probably sell just as many copies as you would a new FF if not more.

ff7 and 8 was the best 9 was hard but was good also. ff10 was just TOO easy and straight forward. i just want a few reviews on ff13 then ill buy it but it doesnt look very promising ahahaha A remake of ff7 and 8 would be crazy with ps3 graphics!!!!! by far ff7 was the best story and game play out of all the final fantasy series!!

ive seen a few threads around mentioning the magical 20hr mark but it didnt take me that long to like it? though i have played all the previous ones bar 11 so i guess i knew what to expect - that said i was still abit WTF Square enix for the first couple of hours.

i found that after the 2-4hr mark once you had to do more than hit auto attack i got into the game, at about 15hrs now and lovin it.

but i think it has been the same with all of the ff's (ive played 6-12 not 11) the first couple of hours you learn how to play features/battle system etc. im sure i can remeber with the release of the previous ones alot of first timers quit before the game gets going.

hope i dont sound too fanboy:)

Hahaha. Well considering it was created with the PS3 in mind, im sure it would run the best on the PS3.

It's exactly the same other than the Xbox version has 3 discs and the PS3 is only one disc as it is blueray.

On the Xbox version you go through disc 1 and 2 in about 15 hours then its all on disc 3.

I was told it downloads the cut scenes onto the hard drive from discs 1 and 2 to make the game smoother.

Though you never actually see any downloading. I have a 360 and a PS3, like them both in different ways...

It's like a blond chick and a brunette chick, they both deliver the goods but in different ways.

Sometimes you just feel you need a blond that night but then you want some brunette after, so on and so on... :(

It's all personal taste and opinions, just have the best of both worlds I say :cheers:

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
