Am I the only one looking forward to FFXIII-2?
Ya, ya FFXIII was not a great game, but it's the best looking one...

This about sums up the state of where I'm at with any game Square Enix puts out nowadays.
I'm not buying FF13-2. Not even if it's good. When you buy a game (not used) you reward the developer. They learn, "Oh, I did something right, I'll do it again!"
Releasing a sequel to a game nobody liked, with gameplay nobody liked, and a story nobody liked filled with characters nobody liked is not something I intend to reward.
Congrats, Square Enix, you make beautiful graphics. Put some of that effort into the gameplay or story now. These are video games, not interactive movies, no matter how much you want them to be.

Definitely Mass Effect 3.

Yeah... there will always be the hardcore FF fans that will buy it brand new and reward the developer.
On the other hand, if Square Enix actually listened to their customers (and remade FF7 or FF8 or FF9)... TRUST ME... those will sell like hot cakes.

They already crossed that line when they made Final Fantasy: The spirits within and Final Fantasy: advent children.
I think that most people in Square Enix just want to make movies, but are kind of stuck as game company, so they are stuck making (as you well described them) interactive movies instead.
I have no problem with that if people like it, however I have a problem with SE having Hitman IP and that is one game in 2012 that I am very sceptical about.
