I really liked that section, but it was kind of counter intuitive that they didn’t just position that sectioned off are so going towards the camp in the SW was the obvious direction. They really could have just laid out that section of the ruins so it pointed that way. I think it would save a lot of people issues with…

These levels of queues are completely nonexistent outside of the first few weeks of an expansion coming out. The people behind FF14 are actively against using FOMO against its playerbase, and do not fill the game with tons of activities to force people to feel like they need to be on at all times. Once the rush of “oh…

It gets a lot better. ARR is a good, but fairly generic Final Fantasy story. There’s a lot of time giving you setup, teaching you about the world, the politics, but nothing gets too deep. You’re very clearly the good guy and you’re fighting what is very clearly the bad guys.
After the finale of ARR, it gets a lot more…

If you’re burned out on Pokémon, that’s one thing, but don’t let any of these exploits people are talking about turn you off from the game. You have to go out of your way to actually do any of these things. People are talking about it as if you’re constantly running in to bugs randomly just through normal play, you’re…

You should try one of the McDonald’s games, MC Kids. It is a fucking wild platformer that incorporates block moving/throwing, gravity reverse pads, and a ridiculous amount of hidden areas and environmental interaction for an NES game tied to a fast food franchise. Like most of these games, it seems like a fully made…

Funny thing was I survived all the super long cutscenes (and there were a lot) just fine. What booted me was a very small one as it faded to black at the end. Was the only stability issue I had, but holy crap was it at a terrible time. The error code I got didn’t even have an entry on the help website.

I’m sympathetic to the problems, but even a week of free playtime doesn’t make up for me being disconnected completely at random in the middle of a cutscene (no lag, nothing, just cut off), then having my game client crash when I try to log in, then me spending 5 hours (and counting, not in yet as of writing) in queue…

It had shown up in quite a bit of pop culture in the states by that point too. I was only 15 in ‘01 but the specific Philosopher’s Stone had been referenced in all kinds of movies, books, video games, cartoons that I had seen. It wasn’t an unknown concept. Even if it was, the first thing an average person is likely to…

Thanks for the link! I hadn’t heard of this site. That’s great data.

It is user collected, so not perfect, but its the best we can get.

It is a franchise I sorely miss. Though the Nioh series is not bad at giving you some of that classic Onimusha vibe.

You mean people on the trial of critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? The same people who, with the expanded free trial, can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime?

The only thing about the Skip and Treybor trailer that makes it unbelievable for the time period is that the video and sound quality was both too good and too consistent.

DA:O is really only the best one if you play it on PC, if it was the first one you played, and if you have an affinity for the old Infinity Engine RPGs Bioware used to make. It also helped some that the story of DA:O was a lot more focused and didn’t have the bloat that 3 had. Technically speaking though, the game is…

If nothing else AoS deserves higher just because it managed to do so many stories. I think given time, Loki and the other D+ shows could be better, but they’re at just a single season.

Not a fair comparison, I feel. 1.0 FF launched as a complete game where you could do all the things in the game that were offered to you without much issue. It just didn’t make sense to most of the audience because it was a convoluted and very user-unfriendly experience. It was way too tied up in the old style of mmos…

The history of this game will need to be a LOtR style tome, complete with massive appendices.

He’s been in charge of this company for DECADES. The entire point of his obscenely high salary is that he is constantly claiming that everything the company does is related to him. You don’t get to claim credit for decades of success and say you weren’t responsible for the decades of abuse. Kotick even has a level of…

Yeah I’m really hoping some of my local places or even Fathom does a double feature for it with Part 2. I feel like back-to-back will be an amazing way to experience it.

Well a big chunk of the board are Kotick’s literal partners in crime who have connections to him going back to his original scam to take over Vivendi. Also he was able to get a ridiculous amount of control over the company, especially considering he isn’t a founder and it is a public company. Add to it Kotick’s usual…
