Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
This thread

But Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn really is the worst game I've ever played.
What is the best way to kill Sims?
Fire?
>>319626480
How about you focus on killing yourself first
>>319626604
I am
I have to practice on them though
and just for your cheeky remarks, i'm going to make a sim of you then make you gay with some other dude
post your picture so i can get your face right
Remove Will Wright.
Alright guys, didn't see any thread so let me sum up the new pieces of lore that came out of the beta.
It's speculated that a book will come out before the xpac explaining what happened on the Broken Shore after the cinematic with Variann.
The player starts off either fighting the forsaken on the Alliance side.
Alliance soldiers call Sylvannas a traitor.
Pretty clear to me that she pretended to help on the Broken Shore just to dismantle the Alliance by killing Variann
There's a blank in the storyline, but it is known that Sylvannas has declared herself the Warchief because she wanted the Horde troups to help her get to the Pure Valkyr.
She seeks complete control over life and death, and probably the Scourge.
So there you have it. That's the situation right now.
tl;dr Sylv will become the Lich Queen because Blizz needs new antagonists
>>319626429
She's always been an antagonist, just that one of the lead developers have had a veto right when someone have suggested that something bad would happen to her.
She's literally one of the developers waifu and it ain't Metzen so no corruption for her.
>>319626429
Sounds like bullshit, to be honest. Source?
Although, I wouldn't be that surprised if Blizz decided to kill off another established major character. They've been doing this every expansion.
But people love Sylvanas too much, Blizz probably wouldn't dare.
>>319626934
They killed off Tirion fordring for the ret paladin quest just so they had an excuse for rets to get ashbringer
We NEED these games to succeed and do well guys, badly. If we don't, arena shooters will never make a comeback. You want to kill the CoD and BF series? Get your ass to Epic games site right now, and fucking download Unreal Tournament 4. Prepare for Doom 4 and Overwatch, and hype the fuck out of them on forums, and to people in person via word of mouth. If we all give our support to these games, other companies will see that these realism military shooters are played out, and the glorious age of arena shooters will return. And for the love of fucking god quit fucking playing CS:Go and fucking Rainbow 6 games.
If we don't, the genre is as good as dead. And we'll be stuck with yet more generic realism sickdark army man shooters in realistic settings with boring ass realism guns.
>>319626347
Overwatch can go suck a dick. Haloom 4 too. And there's no shortage of cartoon FPS now thanks to manchildren.
Can we support Titanfall as well? The fast movement and parkour mechanics felt arena tournament-esque.
Also, if I'm not mistaken Doom 4 is actually slow and not much of an arena shooter at all, but I might be incorrect.

>Implying I give a fuck
Is there a video game where I could fly into a supernova or maybe just witness and look at one from afar?
>flying into a supernova
>>319626421
That's the whole point. I want a game where I could witness a supernova and fly into it oblivious to the fact that it would kill me.
modded skyrim:^)

Ivy.
I only pick her when I've gotten a little tired of losing. Sometimes I worry that I was one of those guys.
>>319625886
More like Necrid. Fuck that big green asshole
Heidern in King of Fighters.
I was the one using him, and I was the one who banned him after a couple matches.
Watching him helicopter his way to victory grows old fast.

its a pocket awp for 700 dollar (850 dollars).
>>319625917
100% accurate
has the same power as an awp

>Mass Effect 2
>Dead Space 2
>Sly 2
>Modern Warfare 2

>Resistance 2
>Battlefield BC2
How come so many game series with 3 or more games have the second one as the best but the next ones complete shit? Also can Dead Space be revived?
Mass Effect 2 was not the best Mass Effect. It was a worse RPG than 1, a worse shooter than 3 and is responsible for all of the insane story derailments people incorrectly peg on 3.
Black Ops 3 campaign is better than 1 and 2 in every aspect
>that terrible fucking taste
is it too late for bungie
are they a dead studio
Too many jews in charge. Bungie is only interested in getting the most possible mileage out of the fewest possible assets.
>sold over 20 million
>dead
LOL
>implying they were ever relevant
anon the good goys and shillosoft pumped money into them because they knew they made blockbusters, not good games
Is this the hardest boss of 2015?
I dont think I have died so much to a single boss in years.
>Boss is a literal abortion
>>319624704
No. Random artificially difficulty boss from random game is harder
But Orphan is probably the hardest boss with actual good design. I had him down in like 10 tries though, Ludwig gave me more trouble.
>>319624704
>Boss of 2015
>of 2015
Seriously? Who actually cares about when the boss appeared in a game?

ITT: Only the worst Final Fantasy characters
Machina is underrated, to us the viewer he did so much wrong but not from his perspective, he was screwed over being used by a corrupt government that skewed his views and messed with his memories. dont blame machina, blame the assholes at akademeia
>>319626812
No. He isn't underrated, he is retarded. One of the worst written characters.

I have played League of Legends and Dota 2 quite a bit now and I have to ask, why do certain parts of this game exist? Why is this accepted as the number 1 competitive genre in video gaming? Why are they so popular. And I don't mean this in a "Lol they're so casual only true patricians like me can understand," way, but I have to ask why this specific genre is leading the way for eSports and competitive gaming in general?
Like take any other fucking competitive video game. Fighting games, Quake & UT, Starcraft. The amount of snowballing and completely unrelated tasks that are required in an 5v5 game like this are astounding.
Imagine, if in a fighting game, before you got all your abilities, you had to hit targets on the screen, and if you got enough, you would be able to unlock all of your moves. Imagine if by doing this you could effectively deny your opponent from playing the game later on. Wouldn't that be stupid? Wouldn't that be just fucking braindead?
Another thing that doesn't make sense is the snowballing. Why is the snowballing so intense? I think Starcraft is the only game with this level of Snowballing. The only comparison I can is basically to say that playing these 5v5 games like Dota 2 or League is essentially like playing Soccer, but everytime you block enough shots, you get to remove a player from the other team. Every time you score a goal, your consecutive goals count for double.
The point of playing video games is for fun dude..
League of legends is fun.
Another thing is that this game doesn't seem to have any sense of balance that makes things tense or exciting. At the beginning, nobody can do any damage. The only way to kill someone is have them caught out of their very strict positioning. In the end-game, all damage dealers effectively become nukes trying to kill the opposing team's nukes, and ignoring tanks entirely. There is a mid game where players do moderate amounts of damage but not too much, but that time is generally short and usually punctuated not by fighting the enemy, but by capturing various objectives on the map.
Also the items seem very linear. "He built this, so I will build this." Why not diversify the character's inherent options rather than tie them to universal mechanics? It all seems very complicated for no reason.
Granted, there have been games that have done away with the fluff like Bloodline Champions and try to bring the game to a more action-oriented arena type battle but I rarely see anyone take up on these games.
None of it makes any sense to me.
Please someone explain to me why these games are considered competitive.
