Clearly it’s supposed to be “\deop Ari”, THEN “\kick Ari” :P

If it was a Kirby game getting cancelled, it would suck.

A reminder to everyone:

I understand the need for an audience surrogate to deliver exposition to. The issue is that they MK has a few characters that would serve in that capacity without making up a new guy to supplant the already established protagonists.

This is...a strange take, but I suppose you are allowed to have it. FFXIV is the second of two MMOs I ever considered actually using a controller for because it’s so well setup (FFXI is the first, and it’s even more designed for controller, and I actually DID play it with controller unlike FFXIV for extended periods).

I play using DualShock 4 on PC, and I far prefer it to Mouse & Keyboard for this game. As long as you have a keyboard for chat, the control scheme for DS4 is amazingly well implemented. I challenge any MMO to find a better implementation than the Cross Hotbar system FFXIV uses.

I think theres room for both heavily active MMO healing like WoW and EQ2, as well as more pre-set healing games like XIV. Hell, City of Heroes you could forego healers entirely by buffing the shit out of the party’s defenses or debuffing the piss out of the mobs.

*puts on his angry hat*

That being said, if theres a…

“it became clear that I was playing lazy port of a game that was originally designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard setup”

They’re holding on to them, hoping they’ll increase in humor.

This feels like the stock market equivalent of Eve Online. I’ve still no clue what’s really going on, but find it amusing to read about it all the same.

“With people trapped in their homes by a deadly virus, and desperate for social interaction of any kind, we’re going to hold one avenue of reaching out hostage by doubling the price of it! And you can do nothing about it!”

Man. Fuck you, microsoft.

For me the game feels entirely made for creators, and since I’m not particularly creative that turns me off a lot. It somehow feels like I’d be missing out by buying it to “only” play others’ creations. I suspect there’s a lot of people who feel this way even if it’s not really true at all.

I wonder if it would help to make a cheaper (or free) app that’s only for playing player created content.

This.

If this whole thing wasn’t, as you said, a vanity project of a dumb, racist, sexist pile of human shit I’d be incredibly excited...as it stands, it’s just a $15 Billion dollar bad joke...

But we can’t have a measly $600 stimulus cause of “the deficit”...ffs....

Good management ability should be rewarded. If anything, that would send symbolic signals that hopefully will shift the culture of game development. Hearing how Hades was developed made me want to play the game more, and that is something we should promote.

Shameless plug alert: I’ve been writing reviews of each episode within the context of the whole series (meaning early posts are full of talk about where the show is going, etc.) since 2016 and I’ve only got sixteen more episodes until I’m finally done! The whole dang thing is currently longer than any Lord of the…

I just want to point out that there’s a bit of a story behind this announcement.
