FFXIV named "worst FF ever" by IGN.

[GreyJorildyn]

IGN is all about which publisher pays them the most for the best reviews. Look at TOR for example. IGN gave that game a glowing review, yet the launch looks like its MORE dismal than what XIV's was.

Not even close. I have active subs in both games and have done tor end game. Yes there's bugs, as was to be expected, but to compare XIV's launch to TOR's launch and saying the latter's was worse is far and away untrue. XIV didn't even have end game at launch, or PvP or anything at all other than leves. At least TOR has a dozen instances, with hardmode and had 8/16 man operation content and they just added another one.

But if thinking tor was as bad at xiv at launch helps you sleep at night, have at it.

Anyhow, IGN has some spotty reviews but XIV definitely was and is the worst in the series so far, if you can even compare console games to mmos in the same vein (which you can't). Regardless of best/worst opinions, it certainly gave the final fantasy title a bad name. Even Wada felt that way and stated it publicly. All we can hope for is they buck up and get the game to the level of quality expected of both a ff game and a modern mmo. The latter is key.
