A popular MMO reviewer gave FFXIV Shadowbringers the thumbs down o.o

[Kyomagi]

lol hardly "popular"

Dude has not played an MMO for more than a month since WoW. That tells you something

Obvious troll post


Also, if you actually watch the video, he does not play ANY ShB content, he never makes it to lvl 70

i wouldn't worry, lazypeon is an opinionated prick

The story itself is GREAT. I'm totally loving it, and my pal can't stop playing it. To me, it feels like they also did more voice acting than norm, but I could be mistaken.

The only shitty aspect that came with SHB's release is, in my opinion, the major class overhauls, the joke-of-a-blu, the lack of a new healer, and genderlocked races. That being said, DNC and GNB are fun.

So, yeah. Give it a shot. You might hate your class but you could try something else fresh instead if you hate it that much. (I did.) But the MSQ? I think it's my favourite thus far.

No idea who the guy is... but he is an idiot.

Oh look, someone has an opinion that isn't positive of the community so people start targeting him to downvote him.

What is wrong with you people?

You lot constantly advertise FF14 as the nicest community around, and here we are. A youtuber posted on a forum because he has a different opinion than you and everyone is downvoting him for having a different opinion. There's even a certain person that suggested for SE to contact youtube to take down his video because it's not a nice review of the game and proceed to bash him because he doesn't agree with you.

Honestly, threads like these make me feel disgusted to be part of this community.

I absolutely agree with you. Thank you for that. Not everyone is going to like FFXIV and that’s fine.

Well this is a forum solely based around FFXIV and requires an active subscription so yeah are you really shocked the majority are in a disagree with the opinion held by the reviewer? Seems to be the most likely outcome especially when the thread in question says it is review about the ShB, and the video is less a review and more a rant regarding the leveling of the game.

So the dislike towards the reviewer is part fueled by the framing posed by the OP.

One thing is to disagree with someone's opinions and another is asking for a video to be taken down (among other pearls).

[Maero]

I have not watched the video but has the reviewer done the entire questline and leveled say Dancer or GB?
Shadowbringers is so damn good, it could even take the place of Heavansward (or could potentially)

[gumas]

another is asking for a video to be taken down

because everything he said is just his personal opinion, not a review. story is boring because there is no voice in cutscene, lack sound effect also make it boring (what sound effect exactly?)

"everything was told in every shit way that i stop caring at level 50" in what way? what do you mean shit way, tell us? and you call this a review? there is no why or how? he just say its bad because its bad and thats it. didnt try to understand to tell us why or even why its shit to him, just shit.

combat is slow yet he play ninja, one of the fast paced class in the game. either he play it wrong or maybe not fast enough for him, fair. but he didnt say it, he just say the combat is slow and again... thats it, no why or how.

if he compare everything to wow off course he will be disappointed, because FF14 is anything BUT wow.
