No PC demo = another title I won't have to buy *shrug*
It may be sad, it may be immature, but either way, this is why I will ALWAYS prefer the PC.
Sort of amusing the direction this is going. Soon the 'Top Players' won't be the most skilled, but the ones willing to spend the most $$ on a game. Add a few 'light bonus' weapons & armor to a DLC and voila', a perfect "Buy or fall behind" system just like the MMO's
Sucks for them then, I won't buy it without trying out a demo first. Too much money wasted lately on games that turned out to be complete crap. No thanks.
I'd quit gaming before I'd pay Microcrap for anything. Steam all the way.
I don't see any "intelligent" person actually buying this until some actual hardcore titles are out and demonstrated. I find the whole 'media blackout' thing amusing. So they really expect people to rush out and blow $$ when they have no reviews, no decent games and don't know if this device will even last longer than a few months? Anyone that does gets exactly what they deserve.
Doesnt matter to me what they change. Until they make it FREE to play non-mmo games online like everyone else, I won't even consider buying this system.
The thirty day extension was a good move on their part because they at least are admitting that yes, they screwed up. That being said they will have to change a LOT to pull this game out of the fire. I was a major fan of FFXI and this game just doesn't come close to that one at all. I think the only decent system they have is crafting but the rest is just fail after fail. Right now they NEED to keep the loadstone page updated on a DAILY basis with everything happening or I can see a...
Anything endorsed by Oprah is an instant fail in my book.
No, Corporations are whats wrong with the gaming industry!
While cheaters should definitely be punished, and in creative ways, taking this to the level of lawsuits and real life is just plain ridiculous. Holy hell whatever happened to just playing games to have fun?? The stupidity levels have risen to critical levels if people are taking PIXELS this seriously.
I don't even agree with bannings. Instead just strip them of everything, reset their levels, remove all their items, make them attackable by everyone and tag a "Che...
I'm going to have to agree with the masses on this one. I still love the game, or try to, but holy hell they really screwed the dog with this one. I don't have a lot of the UI probs that most people have, love the crafting system etc... but that is nowhere near enough to forgive all the obvious failings in this 'title?'.
My top 2 sore points would be the maps, mobs and mining.
The copypasta mapping is completely unacceptable and shows a seve...
Unfortunately the constant stream of bad press isn't helping. These Anti-Ffxiv articles have been coming out since the beta so people read those and believe them instead of checking it out for themselves. People tend to run with the 'popular opinion' which is sad.
The graphics are simply amazing so if they can just fix the UI lag and get the main content added soon...... We'll see what happens.
*crossing fingers*
I'm not sure what to think at this point. I love the game a lot right now simply because they've done excellent on the graphics and their crafting system is amazing to me with all the elements and days and moons and stuff being taken into consideration. I actually prefer this gameplay to the "Log In - Give All" MMO's.
That being said, I was also a HUGE fan of FFXI so I am kind of disappointed in this one..., I was really looking forward to it. There ...
Guess that depends on if it really sold out or if this is yet another early marketing gimmick. Personally I don't believe anything anymore until I see hard numbers from a reliable source. Time will tell as always.
I laughed my ass off. Personally I hope more game companies start taking actions like this. Aimbots too. Idiots deserve to be banned/reset. Every one of these morons are the same type of people you see bragging about how "skilled" they are at playing games. TOO funny and well deserved Bungie!
Looks like more humor is on the way too....

ESRB/Censorship is shit, I'm so sick of those morons....;
Blood, gore, crime, drugs and violence: OK!
Tits/Sexual Content: "OMG RED ALERT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END"!!!
And they wonder why I don't pay for television ;)
Anyway, that's my initial take so far. Don't have to agree or disagree with it, you aren't me so you aren't going to like what I like. The bottom line is, if you enjoy the game, ignore the trolls. If you hate the game, go play your 'game of choice' then. All this idiotic "My game is better than yours" trolling has just become pathetic.

Best Buy in my area is STILL selling APB for $60 O.o Things like this would be why I won't shop there.
