Check Point, PATV's gaming news program, mentions FFXIV

[Loony_BoB]

Checkpoint being expected to say nice things? Dude, this is Checkpoint. It's there to be amusing, have a few jokes, say a bit of criticism (generally deserved) and generally make a point when they feel a point needs to be made. They are NOT there to be heavily informative, nor are they there to rave on about how great a game is. If you expected anything more than what they gave, you probably don't watch Checkpoint very often.

I like Checkpoint. Haters gonna hate, though, and bitchers gonna bitch. Personally, I was delighted that they are giving FFXIV publicity, because it's far better for them to say what they said than to say nothing at all.

That's like watching Zero Punctuation and expecting Yahtzee to actually like 90% of the games he reviews. (Oop, was said already, but whatever.)

I dunno, that was pretty light hearted. But I gotta agree, we know SE can do pretty cinematics. We're all just waiting for the gameplay footage.

Relax, people, where's your sense of humor? As many have pointed out, this is specifically a comedic take on news. The guy spoke positively about the changes coming, saying it was a new, ground up engine, and then lamenting the fact that the trailer was merely CGI.

Joke explainer time! See, we know SE can do CGI, and we never had issues with the CG in the original vanilla. The trailer, then, addresses an issue nobody had, and a joke is made of it.

Whether you find it funny or not, there's really nothing rant-worthy here. Relax, people, smile once in a while!

Eh, they're just reaching for something to say. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
