Gamescon official Line-up!

[Powercow]

All of the youtube links are taken by attendees, and are not officially provided videos by SE. That's likely what we'll get this year as well.

This is precisely the problem. Background chatter, flickering screens, and the shakeycam effect (not to mention having to go hunt for this crap) all hurt the impression people will have of the video. It'll look cheap and be annoying. People will see the bad angle video and think "yeah, it looks like the same crap as two years ago, PASS" and not even give it a second thought.

If SE is going to delay gameplay footage until it's ready, they should then show off the footage themselves, in HD, with good sound, on THEIR website and youtube channel.

I have an idea! Let's all act like children!

That's what I hate most about this Forum sometimes...... /shrugs

I disagree with so many things you say, and it fascinates me how you can't find any flaws in the game and how they handle it. However I think you're entitled to your opinion, without people telling you off for it. I try to respect people's opinions, regardless of how ridiculous they may be.

But to say that you speak the truth is wrong. It's how you see things, but that doesn't make it the truth. We were supposed to get a flood of info (one which you have been going on and on about), and what we've gotten so far has been but a puddle of info. This latest comment from Youmukon, doesn't exactly help the situation either.

They need to step it up. After all this time, we haven't seen a second of in-game footage. We're all anticipating this game that we have no idea how works in practice. It's pretty ridiculous.

Quote for truth. The reason for my annoyance isn't random hatred for XIV, it's the fact that we've all (well all of us who've been disappointed at the launch at least) been anticipating this so much.

that is a crap video

this the OFFICIAL SS from that same gamescom



now HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.



and OFFICIAL game play video?

thing is this, we were riding on the history of FFXI and basically name Final Fantasy. with the unremarkable launch of XIV and the linear game play and disappointment of XIII, people trust in SE is at a all time low. their backs is against the wall here.

Who exactly? Are you honestly trying to imply that having any complaints about this game, or SE's attitude is childish? Are you honestly going there right now?

I was mostly going with the whole "THIS IS WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE DURRRRRRRRRR" thing.

Well then I hope half of the ire was directed at Starlord.

People misconstruing complaints into strawman arguments is actually a pet peeve of mine.
