The N64 logo was equally as creative maybe even more, with its 64 faces and 64 vertices.

What an incredibly superficial comparison.

“BotW/TotK is the same because it’s an open world anime game with action combat.”

“Tales of Arise is a seemingly open world anime game with action combat.”

“Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an open world anime (realistic style but still anime AF) game with action combat.”

Blue Protocol is an MMO, with MMO gameplay and design philosophy that just happens to have a cel shaded anime aesthetic which has existed loooooooong before Genshin somehow ‘monopolised’ the style. Meanwhile Genshin is a mostly single player experience with some online elements. Look at your apples before you start calling them oranges.

If anything, the article talks about the developers being surprised at how much of a casual audience the game attracted and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the exact same people that are comparing it to Genshin somehow thought they’d get the same experience out of a grindy MMO.

What about the guy seeing a group of adventurers kill god and then telling them to kill rats?

Doom wads and hacks in recent years have been doing some absolutely insane things, and it’s only been getting better as more and more people are realising the things they can do with it. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

Total Chaos has got to be the most mind-blowing to me, it’s a total conversion mod built of GZDoom. youtu.be/L7IITZDBvqE

Here’s another one, Solace Dreams youtu.be/IcrYfmkPl-E also really impressive, though the game didn’t seem all that balanced when this video was posted, not sure if it’s been improved since or if the creators moved on to another project.

I feel like this complaint only applies to other mmoheads coming from endgame in WoW or some other MMO, or already established gamers with little to no experience with MMOs that are trying it out for the first time.

Every MMO is a slow burn at the beginning because you have little to no skills and they’re just trying to introduce you to the characters and the setting.

Meanwhile the literal thousands of newcomers fall in love with the game as soon as they start even when it’s “nothing but fetch quests” or “boring as hell” according to the aforementioned vocal minority.

What part, if I may ask? Unless it’s in Endwalker, then don’t tell me.

It is interesting from the very start though. My point is that players from those two camps are biased in thinking that it’s not because there either too accustomed to having everything or they’re not aware of how the genre works.

Maybe some MMOs are made for people with all the time in the world, like no-lifers and teenagers, but the topic is about FFXIV. XIV has been designed with the working man in mind since at least ARR, it is very much expected to be played in short bursts (people with jobs generally play video games about 2-4 hours a day.) In that span of time you can easily progress a fair amount through the Main Scenario Quest or do dailies which would be the equivalent of “killing 5 bosses,” if not more. Each expansion averages at around 40-50 hours of MSQ, so even assuming the least amount of gameplay time, it takes about a month to complete, barely any different than any other major video game release, for example, Tears of the Kingdom takes approx. 55-70 hours to beat.

Not sure what you’re referring to with the grinding “8 hours for a specific item” thing, unless you’re talking about savage raiding which is endgame, not the beginning/middle (the story) like we’re all talking about and isn’t required to do the story. Even then, there’s plenty of people with jobs that will dedicate upwards of 6 hours to raiding.

That’s why good games give you the option to remove helmets during cutscenes, or just hide them altogether.

is this not SEGA being cheeky about Ubisoft claiming that Skull & Bones is a quadruple A game?

or are they being serious that they’re dumping that much into Crazy Taxi?

is it? pretty sure the BR genre is still just dominated by the same big names that have been around for a while

Fortnite, Warzone, Apex, and maybe PUBG. Then you have the adjacent BRs like Naraka, Fall Guys and Rumbleverse (RIP). But again, none of those are new.

Bravely Default was the first of its kind, it gets a pass. Considering it started off as yet another spin-off of Final Fantasy, it’s better that they tried to distance themselves from FF because it very much isn

It was definitely a gimmick to go with naming the game after the mechanic. But they’ve definitely gone too far with the others. Octopath and Diofield are at least unique words, though Octopath Traveler is equally as on the nose as Bravely Default, oCtO = 8 bE

There’s no excuse for the other two, Triangle Strategy was literally the working title when the game was announced and then they lazed out and didn’t change it. Meanwhile Various Daylife is an atrocity of a game title.

Agreed, the amount of times I’ve heard:

“It’s nothing but reading”

In regards to VN or RPGs…

Never understood how this is an argument when reading for fun exists. Specifically when comparing visual novels to books, books don’t tend to have pictures, scenarios, music, sound effects or voice acting. Sometimes reading a book isn’t interesting enough on its own and folks want more.

I can understand liking a game but not liking all the dialogue, I remember Mass Effect 3 had an option for Story, Action or RPG mode and it’d be great if more devs would implement that kinda thing instead of forcing one specific playstyle.

Same thing happened to me recently with their stupid BOGO sale, I bought Xenoblade Chronicles DE and Skyward Sword “New” and they sent me both packages with no plastic wrapping whatsoever, the pre-owned stickers very obviously ripped off and lots of damage to the cases. I went to a brick and mortar to return it and they didn’t reimburse my shipping fees, I had to call customer support for them to give that back to me.

I tried to just buy them new in store and they told me they “don’t carry rare games like that anymore.” I said fuck it, and went to my local Walmart for Xenoblade and Target for Skyward Sword and it cost me less. What a fucking joke. GameStop is trash.

My most recent gripe is with Amiibo, Nintendo literally announced some new ones recently and yet none of their supposed retailers carry them, aside from Amazon who have ridiculous upcharges on them. Went to GameStop and the employees didn’t even know what the fuck I was talking about. So if you can’t buy them directly from Nintendo you’re shit outta luck cuz good luck finding anyone that sells them for retail price.
