I am just tired of all the killing and war...

Because, yeah, that's the real choice... Total war genocidal hyper violence, or My Little Pony or Hello Kitty. Nothing obviously exists in the middle. Eli, I actually agree. It gets boring for me as well so I go out of my way to break it up. |

This generation of X-Box will be the first one that I am skipping. That presentation looked like it was sponsored by Sony. |

Does this game still have the genres most outdated combat system?

[Column] Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: Dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV

I would actually say the opposite and that the solo/ group design they have now is very 'now' and open world grouping is very 2001 (ish).
Not saying 'now' is better or anything, I don't believe it is personally with regards to these games, but FFXIV is doing what it needs to do to succeed with a broad modern audience. It's not uninspired, it's practical and necessary. Would I have it another way? Sure, I would prefer loads more group orientated content, but I think this game is good enough for me to still really enjoy it.

You miss the point in what I am saying... I can indeed be very civil, but I have been temp banned from this site before for discussing ethics and politics in a very civil manner. Answering you would cross both those lines. It's a shame, but there ya go. |

I sooo badly want to answer this and why it subscribes to a very flawed, though very ingrained, world view, but it would get me warned at least, so I won't. Suffice to say I disagree in a very general sense. |

To be fair, how a game is funded directly influences what it's design aims are and how it is prepared to treat it's customers. The things he touches on are broader philosophies than just being 'governmental archetypes'. I think the OP brings up valid points. A lot of bad practice is brought about by having to keep publishers, VC investors, and shareholders paid. The more we can cut those guys out of the loop the better IMO. |

[Interview] Rift: Going Free to Play June 12th

Agreed Scot, all these converated Western 'F2P' games are actually hybrid models. It just makes marketing easier to use the word 'free' to hook people in. 'Free' is pure spin... they could as easily be described as 'sub games with extended trials and a cash shop' a lot of the time, but the marketing guys don't like talking about money up front. It scares folks off before they have reached the 'sweet spot' of commitment (addiction) that makes them more susceptible to spending. I would be really interested to see how a lot of these converted titles look if the subs propping them up was removed... |

Robo, I think if people found it boring and not 'worth' £2.50 a week to play then they will probably find it boring now. |

Developers have fooled us over the definition of "Pay-to-Win"

You are trying too hard to be clever. I was simply exploring his definition of 'competition'. Once I understand where he is coming from I will carry on talking to him based on the answer he gives. What you consider relevant or irrelevant means little to me in this case. |

[Column] General: Promoting RP is Good for Community

And this, in the green, is why RPing in general struggles in these games reputation wise... I play tabletop RPGs, have done for decades, and even I stop at the thought of stepping into the 'lusting' cyber world of the MMO RPers.
Tabletop RPers seem to be a more resiliant breed in general though... less reliant on the more sordid side of things and not letting the fact that their lead minis can't sit in chairs ruin a game for them. |

Define 'competition'? Do you count the guy that you are rolling for a loot drop against after running a dungeon, as an example, as competition?

I will repeat the part where I point out to you that a MMORPG is a series of micro 'wins' and leave it at that. If you don't understand where I am coming from when I say that then... Well, nevermind.

Indeed. This is why I said to him, when he quoted me specifically, 'IF this was pointed at me'. Seems some folks just like trying to insult others to get a reaction. ahh well, no matter. |

I don't see what has you confused in all honesty. It seems simple to me... Yes, character development is a measure of how well you are doing in a MMORPG. You buy any part of that from a cash shop and you are, in my eyes, paying to 'win'. You cannot see that MMORPGs are a series of micro 'wins'?
And, no, it's nothing like your example here at all.

If this is pointed at me, I haven't showed outrage or jealousy here. In fact, I said I turn a blind eye to it as long as I get to play the way I enjoy in a previous post. Did you just want to make a general point an use your quote? |
