One of the issues with FFXIV...

[Konachibi]

if i want to run around shooting in an amercain style war game, i will join the army. a game can be what ever you want, you are not bound by reality. i guess what this really shows is a lack of imagination on behalf of western developers. the day i walk into games shop to only have a choice shooting or football, is the day i put my console in the attic.

That's why I still have my sega mega drive, saturn, dreamcast and master system set up on my desk. The modern rubbish a lot of developers are puking out nowadays is nothing compared to the classics

Also if we're going to talk immersion, I found Panzer Dragoon Saga to be amazingly immersive.

Sure I had to sell my PS2 and all of the games to get hold of it, but it was totally worth every penny. <3

Wish I still had my old consoles to play, should have my N64 somwhere, that and PS1 was the last console with truely great games imo, which is prolly why Nintendo are releasing all the old N64 clasics on the 3ds.

Only console I ever sold was my Spectrum ZX2, to get a Commodore 64. Since then I've never gotten rid of a console, 'cos if I ever have kids I'd be able to show them all the games I played when I was young.

We all saw how the 'retro' fad took off not long ago, imagine how a 6 year old kid would feel 10 years from now seeing 8 bit graphics from Chuck Rock or James Pond

I could get them to play on the ol' Commodore 64, watch as their faces turn to pure terror as it loads, then the 4 bit graphics, and then the fact that they were THE hardest games EVEEEEERRRR!!!!

Seriously anyone who complains that FFXIV is 'easy mode' should go play a commodore 64 game, it'll make them think twice before asking for a hard game.

And the noise that went with it.

Funny thing though, Sega Mega Drive gamepads could be used with a Commodore 64, D-pad did the movement and B button was the fire button.

Much more comfortable than trying to use a joystick.
