    The UI is horrible in every way imaginable. All it needs is innate lag to be on par with XIV. At least XIV is not overrated.

    i kind of have to agree.
    i think lady gaga is nothing but a cheap marketing ploy and cant stand the fake trick, but i cant argue with what sounds good to the masses. i mean, how many of you listen to Bjork? shes a musical genious in my book but shed never reach britteny or gaga sales.

    then again FFXIII had a large amount of initial sales yet i read nothing but mixed to slightly negative reviews, from the battle system to the linear story line to the excessively predictable character personalities to the annoyance of vanille.
    there was one part in the game where Snow got upset so he threw himself on the ground, eyes closed and i thought to myself "lol omg watch hes gonna hammer fist the ground" AND LOW AND BEHOLD HE DID JUST THAT lol how trite.
    i myself played up until i got the shiva sisters and never looked back.

    ps, i think the battle system in skyrim sucks. well at least on PC... WHERE IS MY ACTION BAR?

    Superb brand and PR management kind of does that.

    I'm dealing with what again? That Skryim sold 3.4million copies in two days? One of the most highest ranked video games of the season by mainstream media, and independent gaming sources? It is not without it's glitches, but that's not the point. Overhyped is definitely an opinion. FFXIV is a superbrand and it flopped. Skyrim sold hardcopies, and still receives praise despite glaring issues.

    You deal. And you will stay mad.

    That a game that sold millions of copies in a matter of days is actually a merely a decent, overrated shot at open world games that is saved by good brand and PR management, employing fanboys to defend it's shortcomings on every turn.

    I don't have a problem with the success of Bethesda's PR team's efforts. You, on the other hand, seem to be unable to cope with simple facts, claiming them as opinions and countering them with irrelevant details. It's a decent effort that was sold to consumers in an excellent way.

    Hire more people...
    So instead of being delayed from 12/14 to 12/16 it would be delayed from 12/6 to 12/8.

    Good 10 gil.
