mmorpg's review

[Khalus]

Yeah its to bad that Rift isn't any different then all the other MMOs out there, you can have all the content in the world, but that doesn't make it fun for everyone.

Touche...


Rift is well rift, and it plays like pretty much everything else in the post 2004~era, and while it does a few things differently, and I'll agree they have a very good dev team that listens to the community and they pump out some great patches quickly. Still though XIV is an entirely different beast, and I applaud SE for doing things different, albeit it bit them in the ass since it was unfinished and its taking awhile to make it proper.

I lay the blame on Tanaka though for not listening to the community. Yoshi-P is doing an outstanding job, and is quite communicative and understanding.

I feel it is a fair score. Honestly I'm surprised they gave FFXIV such a long time before reviewing it, you can't say they didn't give it a second chance. It's a shame they didn't wait for 1.18 but honestly would it have changed that much? That 5.5 would maybe have become a 6 or a 6.5 if we wanna be really generous, so it's not really the cream of the crop anyway.

Like the game or not, everything he said is true, and it doesn't matter if you're rank 10 or 50, the problems he mentions are there regardless. The UI doesn't suddenly evolve when you ding 35...

I told yall it was too late.

We feel we’ve waited more than long enough to give FFXIV a fair shake.

Right over your head....ZOOOMM.
My counter was the the statement that 10 months isnt enough time for an MMO to get their junk fixed. I listed a noob mmo company that did that and more.

Well frankly anyone should have the right to assume launch issues have been ironed out after almost a year after the release few days give or take doesn't really change that assumption nor do the contents of the patch have that much to do with his critique. I think it's fair because it's still basically the same game that it was in launch and it's still the same game it was in beta. UI is a lot faster but still just as badly designed as it always has been.

i say its fair review. nothing to do right now other than levelquest and craft. maybe NM sometimes.

A noob MMO with extremely high financial backing that copied almost everything from many different MMOs, go Trion....Oh if Rift had a crap launch Im sure it would have failed and died but not trying anything new mixed with a lot of money kept that from happening.

Was it Tanaka or was he the fall guy?

MMORPG is the kind of site that would review a game just before 1.18 to keep it's score low. You really think MMORPG does not get compensation for stuff like this? Well, in FFXIV's instance it isn't as great as a threat as other games. However, sites like these usually only like to keep scores high with companies that give them hand outs

and that's the truth.

Right... truth ...

I think you dropped your tinfoil hat.

[Platinumstorm]

It's not MMORPG.com who is dumb. Who released the game in the state it was in?
