Warning, contains some language.

Don't know if anyone else noticed this or posted it yet. Didn't see a thread on it anywhere. I love this show, it often has pretty good/entertaining bits of news from the game industry and it's made by Loading Ready Run.

They punched our precious game in the face pretty hard, though. But, the point is kinda hard to argue against. I've seen some people making the same points throughout the forums and in discussions in game. I can only hope that the game play footage will blow peoples minds at Gamescom.

Penny Arcade... lol

A Bunch of Nerds, without a clue what they talk about. Like they did last time.. playing a game 1 hours, doesnt imply that you know shit about it. It doesnt matter if you hit the nail on the head at one con, if you leave out 500 other points which are actually pro.

Just keep feeding them $, by clicking their shit... i knew it wouldnt be wort to click it.. oh my. Bringing up Spirits Within? wtf.. yeah.. wasnt worth to watch that Nerd-Show a second time. All they did was showing a little of the trailer and then they said how its not good to show a trailer, because they did it before.

What they DID NOT mention:

Moughouse including Gardening ( Plan's to being able to purchase land for your MH )
Delivery Box
Labyrynth of OOOO
Crystal Tower
Female Roegadyn
Female Miquote
Female Highlander
Revamp of Battle Regimen System
Didnt show a single 2.0 Screenshot
Didnt show 2.0 Concept Art
Didnt mention the Beta's
Didnt mention the aprox time
Nothing about the Current Imperial Story ( may some people would like to experience it )
Nothing said about how 1.0 will turn into 2.0 ( Storywise )
Nothing about plans of more/new Mounts

etc etc etc etc etc ... need 100 more points, what they DID NOT say?

okay, that was pretty "funny" in a way.

What he said about SE making cutscenes was so true.
And marketing games this way, its just no good anymore.

I guess we will find out in a few days.

I really hope they make a good impression on me & my friends,
or this will be a very very short beta for many of us.

Not as bad as the last time they mentioned FFXIV. I mean it's what pretty much everyone has been saying for weeks now. Yeah we get it, people want gameplay footage. That's coming soon, just need to be patient. Once we get it they'll have to find something else to complain about.

Well, they chosen the best moment to say shit on FFXIV, gamescom and gameplay trailer 'n try is just 2 days from now :| they would do a better job waiting some days before saying overbeated shit

I don't get everyone saying "they've spoke shit about our precious game!" 'cause like. They didn't say anything negative. The most negative thing they said was unspoken, about the final fantasy film. Why are threads on this forum voted up for saying "cutscene trailers aren't enough SE!" when they say the same thing and get responses like this?

rofl@pennyarcade in general, but come on.

They didn't said anything positive thou. They (on purpose ?) left unspoken everything new is coming, leaving the game under a bad spot. You don't need to openly criticize something to leave a bad impression

Why should they say anything positive from what's available? It's all well and good following the producer's letter and what is planned, but SE attempting to market a game based on nothing but cutscene footage deserves criticism.

And we know they don't plan to do it.
An internet pinco maybe can't know SE is releasing a gameplay trailer and a live try this gamecom, but PA work with
gaming industry and i don't fairly believe they don't know it

Assuming you mean SE don't plan to release a gameplay trailer: they deserve to be ridiculed for not doing so, and they'll get way harsher criticism than this. Sorry.
