People want the wild west fantasy, and R*’s just bad at providing that. Do something like give the player a full on town to customize, have them become land owners, cattle barons. Let us go prospecting for gold, maybe do something with Mexico, given they already put in the effort remaking the landscape from 1, yet…

The only two things that were recognizably Resident Evil in that entire trailer other than text on the screen *telling me* it’s RE, were the Umbrella logos on the water bottles and the zombie dog at the end. This feels like any other zombie apocalypse world tour movie, just with a slight futuristic twist.

You you can spend like less than half a minute thinking “man, I don’t like that”, and then move on with your day.

Bit of a jackass move to call me that, but alright. And more moral grandstanding - great, love getting that from internet strangers. I don’t think I’m getting anywhere arguing anymore with the few stragglers left who still have some serious fucking issues to work out.

Holy shit you are in some other world entirely my dude, you’re projecting hard. How in the everloving hell you can read my posts and take away anything more than snark is just... okay. But Swan Lake? What? No, seriously, what the actual fuck? You’re calling me insane for the occam’s razor thing, then bring out some…

No? What in the actual fuck are you going on about? I realize I’ve been snarky as as all hell but at least I’m not out here calling people nutcases for bringing up a mundane logic idea that everyone and their grandma knows about. Like, what the hell is up with you, man? If anything, you’re the one dialing everything…

Lol no, this is a news site. It may be a blog by structure, but it has a full time paid staff, and it’s hired notable games journalists like Jason Schreier who’ve cracked open major findings, leaks, and reports over his many years being a journalist - by raw definition. It even gets tossed around in the same breath as…

I can’t expect random people to, that’s fair. I can absolutely expect higher standards of a news publication, though.

I don’t need to think about shit, it’s not a “terrible crime”, I never made it out to be - you’re putting words in my mouth, and I don’t really appreciate that. I just think a news site should have higher standards, especially given the circumstances of the game’s recent player boom. This site is visited by thousands…

And yet literal millions started playing the game for the first time over the past year.

Been following the FFXIV reddit for a while, haven’t seen much of that at all myself. Plus, a lot of casual news readers aren’t on the dedicated subreddit - that’s pretty niche and if you stack up the subs population vs total players, it’s a fraction of a fraction.

That’s nowhere near as specific as “X dies”. There’s tons of likeable characters - Aymeric, Estinien, Raubahn, Artoirel, Hilda, Edmont, so no, it’s not a given. I just seriously can’t wrap my head around how that’s more of a spoiler, the logic just doesn’t add up to me or anyone I’ve tossed it to. By sheer definition,…

I cannot even remotely understand how that is more of a spoiler than the original. Also as I pointed out to the person above, you don’t even need to click on the article - on PC desktop browsers, the text is still displayed below the picture and article title. Scrolling thru the site will still get you spoiled.

On a PC browser, you don’t even need to click on the article - the spoiler is literally right there below the pic as you’re scrolling. You can totally read it by complete mistake.

Tell that to the literal millions of people who just started playing FFXIV recently, the single biggest boost in popularity this game’s ever seen.

No, that’s going pretty extreme and taking my argument completely out of context, really. A spoiler warning is sufficient, maybe rewording the header and choosing a different picture. How about a picture of the actual fight, and maybe rewording it to be “A surprising time loop may let raiders save a certain beloved Hea…

Yeah, it’s pretty sad :c

Personal take, it costs nothing to put in a spoiler warning for a major plot point that isn’t common knowledge like Rosebud, Aerith dies, Luke’s daddy, etc. It’s not just about time, it’s about widespread knowledge too, and Harchefant’s death isn’t well-known outside the FFXIV community.

That’s a pretty clickbaity header that just spoils Harchefant’s death, without any kinda warning. Pic of the man himself with just saying it outright above him. Didn’t spoil it for me, but I can definitely see newer players that haven’t gotten to that point in HW interested as to why the new raid is “blowing…

Wonderlands is amazing, but a fair amount of people who played 3 and TftB1 are worried about the writing of TftB2 (since that’s all that style of game really boils down to, and the narrative of 3 was easily its most criticized aspect). What’s most concerning though is by all accounts and info we have so far, the movie…
