One of the issues with FFXIV...

Console games that are fps really need to go away.

Never gonna happen, That's like saying Apple need to get out of the phone/tablet business.

But how every modern fps is on console, and there's no real fighting games or racing games anymore like there used to be, both of my ps3's have become glorified media servers for when I have company over.

Eh, Forza and GT are still very much alive in my book, and there are plenty of decent fighters around still, so I'm not sure what you're ranting about.

Forza and GT are too realistic for their own good though. Gone are the days where we'd see F-Zero or Daytona USA. Only things to satiate the need to play silly racing games now is Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and Mario Kart.

As for fighters, we do have Blazblue, Arcana Hearts 3 and King Of Fighters still going strong. Personally I still prefer sprite-based anime fighters than the 3D ones like mortal kombat or tekken, though I do indulge myself in the fast-paced button mashing of Dead Or Alive every now and again ^.^

Well don't get me wrong. I used to be in a drift team on Forza 3 and spent hooooouuuurs making rear-wheel drive tuning setups for whatever car took my fancy (Yes, I made a Rolls Royce turn a corner like a Subaru Impreza WRC ). Spent almost an entire day once recreating this as a vinyl too: Jo from Burst Angel

It came out pretty good, and I put it on the games marketplace with a limitation of 10 and it sold out pretty quick, so I felt quite proud of myself for that x3

The rest of the team all drifted 4wd cars though which I really didn't like, 'cos 4wd cars shouldn't drift as good as rwd but they were out-doing everyone. Forza 4 is supposed to have much more realistic drifting though and hopefully some proper tyre smoke effects so it should be an improvement.

As long as I can get a good ol' Mazda RX-7 though I'll be happy as pie ^.^

Was just saying you don't see so many silly and fun racing games nowadays like back in the times of sega mega drives (genesis) and super nintendos.
