I kinda get s chuckle when people slam down $60 game as If that is a powerful statement. People also seem to forget that we live in a golden age of deals. Sales are abundant, indie price models, free games do really well and dirt cheap subscriptions throw tons of really great games at you. Yeah you gotta put up with a few loot boxes and hats. Boo boo. Could be a lot worse. --- |

SwayM posted...Chicken_Butt posted...I think "fuck that game" is a pretty good attitude to take when a game is released in a poor-quality state. This is a generation where gamers are expected to pay $60 for a single game. These companies are taking your money before the product is done, selling you an unfinished product. It SHOULD be an outrage. And gamers should speak with their wallets and let the companies who are doing this learn a lesson from it. A damaging, expensive lesson that will also speak to other developers and let them know that we, as a market, do not accept half-baked goods and low quality goods. We, as a community, should demand a high-quality, finished product for our dollar. If you look closely, I never implied anything of the sort. It's the very sad reality of the world we live in, one in which people like him don't wanna face. Oh a game is a critical failure and never recovered? Guess we'll never see something like that again. Once the dust settles and we can actually step back and appreciate any merit it might have, it's far too late. How many times have you heard "If ___ doesn't sell well it might be the end of the franchise?" I've heard it a lot recently. https://www.pcgamer.com/soulcalibur-6-could-be-the-last-soulcalibur/ Here's an example before you can say you haven't. It's not limited to "risky, one off IP's". A poor selling game is BAD news for everyone. You can sit there and be an edgelord on the internet and laugh and poke fun at every game that doesn't do well. It's a shame people can be so stubborn they refuse to see the merit in anything. --- |

Hahahahaha this is the textbook childish mentality we're trying to get to the bottom of. lol anti-consumer. This reads like preteen angst. "Oh no a game I was looking forward to didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I hope the whole company fucks off and goes bankrupt" lol Jesus Christ. Because it was their intention to work really hard on a game that was a critical failure. That's what companies aim to do. Purposefully put out a really shitty product. Continuing to support your game and community through the worst is the complete opposite of "anti-consumerism" Really showing your true colours here Rika. Dat_Cracka_Jax posted...

Couldn't agree more. This shit is hilarious. Swagnificent119 posted... Imagine buying a piece of shit for 60 dollars, than being happy when they fix it years later and it's been reduced to 20 dollars. If I bought a game at launch/full price it's likely because I was very interested in it. That interest isn't going to just vanish if it isn't the game I wanted/expected. If there's a way to salvage it and they actually go to those lengths to try and create the product fans want. Only an absolute child would sit there with their arms crossed and pout about it for years to come, and not want a better game at the end of the day. The money part of this argument makes absolutely zero sense. It's literal common sense that if you have the patience to wait for a game it pays to do so. All games go on sale.

| SwayM 11/23/18 6:35:27 AM #15 | ManBeast462 posted... Sorry but you shouldnt have released your game until you fixed the shit. Or they release it in its poor state and use the community as a resource, find where the problems lie and to fix whats wrong with it. Games cant develop forever. In a perfect world every game would release in a perfect state but we live in far from a perfect world. Also kiddos, this imperfect world games are a business. A fucking expensive business. But whats really hilarious about this comment is youre saying take longer to make it better But Im not waiting for it to get better once it releases Lol --- |

| SwayM 11/23/18 5:44:16 AM #5 | cjsdowg posted... I love the Daredevil movie's Director's Cut. However what most people got was the what they saw in the movies. I dont think the comparison is quite the same with movies because there kind of a one time experience with movies. With games your opinion of it is constantly evolving. From when youre brand new and learning the mechanics, to when you beat thing, it takes time to really form your opinion. Most times. yeah I can see where youre coming from with your example, its a decent comparison but not quite the same thing. You go see a movie in theatre and didnt like it, odds are youre not going to buy it when it comes out on video to see the directors cut, or special features, etc. Also if you bought a game, and it wasnt what you were hoping for on day one, wouldnt you want that to get better over time? To gamers youd think they get more enjoyment watching a thing fail then actually playing a fun game. --- |

I still think Han getting the last name Solo from an Imperial officer is kinda dumb, but it's a pretty minor gripe overall. Only other problem I had with the movie was L3. That was really stupid.

| Topic | Why is Summoner so lame in FFXIV... |
| SwayM 11/21/18 7:29:49 PM #1 | In FFXI you had to travel all over the world and fight these classic Final Fantasy Avatars. Then, and only then did you have the ability to Summon them. And they would be the exact versions of the Avatars you fought. Basically summon Gods to your whim. You had multiple abilities and various utility and you could use their ultimate abilities too. Hell even the quest to unlock the Summoner Job was pretty interesting and had you traversing all over the world experiencing all the different weather patterns. https://imgur.com/E3Q817U In FFXIV you get like a tiny ass little red imp that's vaguely in the shape of Ifrit. Or Garuda or Titan. Not including carbuncle you only get 3! And they're AWFUL. https://imgur.com/2uKaFPX https://imgur.com/uYXuizD Took one of the coolest Jobs in the history of Final Fantasy and made it a joke. --- |
